Make sure you give the Xbox plenty of ventilation, and remember to take a break every hour. As for settings, I find using the controller shoulder buttons for throttle very rewarding.

lmao

Haha, good to see the forum is full of comedians, why I'd ask if I wasn't actually driving one is beyond me, each to their own, I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Here's a pic for the haters!

Smile inanely? I would.

'Haters'? Don't make yourself look even more foolish.

I neither doubted nor cared whether you had hired a car for the weekend - its the lameless of a how to drive it posts that I commented on.

[OzHighOctane]

I don't recall asking 'how to drive it', I asked for tips or recommendations on the best settings.

So if you've driven it how about providing some feedback on sport plus vs race for example or the different suspension settings, you know, something useful, unlike your two posts so far.

If you are driving it on public roads, leave it in the base modes, you will need nothing other than that. I very rarely boost my VXR8 out of anything other than touring (base road mode) because I don't need race hardened suspension or steering for trundling round town or flying on the motorway. You will not (if you are sane) need anything else, unless you get to a nice twisty b-road

Wow! That certainly told me.

Congratulations on carrying that off without making yourself look even more stupid...

CTS off at all times to get the full power, and the best out of it. Have fun.

This... If youve got the balls

Ask in the supercar section, you'll possibly get some more helpful responses.

[Pesty]

Leave the traction control in its highest setting and don't crash.

Take some pics.

If you're just cruising around/posing then you likely don't need to touch any settings. It will be very compliant and adaptable anyway so doesn't really need any tweaking.

Personally with the spectre of a large deposit hanging over my head I wouldn't go near the CT/CST off settings.

Stating the obvious but if it's wet watch when you plant it as physics > computers.

Indeed. Under no circumstances use the phrase "watch this".

I was about to say that.

0/10. No custard visible in shot.

Insane Jealousy here....

[Jasandjules]

Drive carefully. Without knowing what cars you've driven previously, just don't plant the throttle, take it easy and slowly build up any speed.

[Deadlift]

The left pedal slows you down, the right pedal makes you go faster.
