i was wondering if this car still rocks for the 2nd game. I havent tried any otehr cars yet, as i'm busy starting over with my new file getting the unique for the RX7.

Is the RX-7 as good as it is from the first one? it feels.. different in this one.

yeah the rx-7 lost some of its spunk, the new car this time around is the 240sx

RX-7 got something the 240 doesn't

LACK OF UNDERSTEERING!
The 240SX may have more power but this time around, I feel understeering in it, while the RX-7 gives no understeering signals whatsoever.
But the new deadly boys on the block are 4WD, Impreza WRX STi and the Evo 8, strangely nobody have been pushing these? I know they got some understeering but it can be tuned to get rid of some of it.

Subaru got crappy tuning abilitys, almost all parts look crap on it.

As for EVO....you know that lvl3 EVO can get to 60 in 2.04 secs?

213 mph is the max speed possible in the rx7, i havent done any tuning yet as im not sure how to do it.

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 02 Dec 2004, 21:30

err? thats all? 213 mph ~ 340.8 kph, a bit wrong.

Since my lvl 2 RX-7(ECU unique) goes up to 320 now. What a level 3 upgrades give me 10kph? naaah.

p.s. manual gear box pwns

I think the RX-7 is pretty good. I did go back to my RX-8. I am not sure if I tuned my RX-8 to my liking better. But it seems RX-8 is slightly better on handling. RX-7 is pretty good on handling, but the RX-8 is somewhat a little better.

I am basing this when I reraced a couple of races using the RX-8. I used the RX-7, which I felt was very good. Then I used the RX-8 again and reraced the 3-4 races, it feels better suited to me.

Not sure what the max speed on the 7 is.
But I keep a personal record of 22.25 on Bayview bridge with the RX-7.
It is an awesome car, as for the Impreza tuning, it may look crap with the visuals but I don't care about the rice, I care for whats under the hood.
The go part, it comes with a 6 speed tranny with 4 close gears awesome acceleration and 4WD with a turbo.
I understand that this car may be an easy win combination.

Still, the RX-7 doesn't have the upper limit stats wise, but take it to the road and do comparisons on driving feel.
The RX-7 is my choice of machine, can't turn away from it.
