Who still plays?
I recently started over. Totally over, no 100 grand bonus from GT3, nothing. Started with some jalopy-90s-EVO, and worked up to buying a '69 Camaro do dominate the Euro classic enduros, and then bought a trio of awesome cars. I'm a closet Porsche lover, and a lot better at GT4, so I found it time to try out the RUF BTR, the little brother of the "Yellow Bird".
And I found that these were some of the most wicked cars in GT4 if you can drive them. With no assists they're very oversteery. The *** like to step out if weight shifts to the front. So throttle-off oversteer and braking oversteer are all problematic... That is, if you don't drive the car right. Due to the rear engine setup, when the weight is shifted back the car hunkers down tight back to the asphalt and the car will rocket out of a turn. So, slide in, angle for the exit, and hold on for dear life! This combo allows you to throw tons of power at it with out wiping out when exiting the corner.
My first BTR was to use in the Boxer compitition.
SEEK
AND
DESTROY
It was very quick with only 400 hp, and currently is set around 500 hp. It's an excellent short track car where a quick spooling motor and agility matter.
Then it came time to find the BTR's
dirty secret. I figured if it was such a controllable car to oversteer on street, why not in dirt? Thus the second BTR:
The most controllable RWD car on dirt I've driven in this game. It's putting a good fight to the AWD cars in the lower 2 classes. Haven't tried it against the full fledged rally cars yet, but it's nearly stock with only a new intercooler and clutch, and fairly capable.
And next, Das Ze German Hammur. Ze German Hammur aus ze wurk o ze Nazis. 700 un brak horse powur. Un Race spek tyres. Goes like schnell.
Everything but the stock suspension (I really love the handling stock) has been thrown at this car to make it a DTM fighter, I hope. Disastrously fast. Trying to quell the rabid oversteer some, race tires aren't as forgiving as the sport tires, but it's looking to be a wicked machine.
