I *know* I can pull off a bit more downforce and change the gearing to pull just over 300mph, its very possible. Just ease back on those two - make sure you not only put it to 'wide' in gearing, but also change the gears individually as to span em out a bit more and bringing 6th down pretty low - as well as the final gear ratio itself.

Suzuki Escudo (Over 500 MPH):
---------------------------------

From wszeto88, on the Gran Turismo 3 Message Board on Gamefaqs.com -

Here are the Escudo Pikes Peak 500+ mph setting the top speed I got was 579.2
mph Follow this and you will be on your way to 500+ mph in no time.

Here's what I did:
1. equip the highest turbine kit or na possible
2. decrease the spring rate to the smallest possible value for both front and
rear
3. a. decrease ride height to smallest possible value for front and rear
b. DRIVETRAIN

Front REAR
Lim-Slip In Tor.- 5 - 5
Lim-Slip Accel. - 5 - 5
Lim-Slip Decel. - 5 - 5

c. Toe angle and Chamber angle should be 0

4. a. set the gear ratios auto settings to the highest possible level
b. set the gear ratios final gear to about 3,000
c. set all gears to lowest value

5. a. decrease the front downforce to the smallest possible level
b. increase the rear downforce to the largest possible value

6. set ASM to 0

7. set TCS to 0

8. set VCD to 10%

There you have it, a 500+ mph car! Make sure you turn the opposite way when
doing the Max Speed test, once around the track won't be long enough for the
speed to reach 500+ mph.

Have Fun!!

---------------------
Or another way:
---------------------

1. Get a car with over 1,000 HP
2. Equip the highest level NA or Turbo.
3. Decrease the spring rate for the front and back to the lowest value.
4. Decrease the ride height for the front and back to the lowest value.
5. Set the gear ratios auto setting to the highest level possible
6. Decrease the front downforce to the lowest value, and increase the rear
downforce to the highest value.
7. Put the ASM to 0.
8. put the TCS to 0.

Now go to the test course (preferably machine test) and watch what happens when
you hit about 230 mph. And someone tell me what they think. It's pretty funny
and cool.

 

A guy I know just loaded the game shark stuff on my GT3. When I got home from working out, I noticed that I had 10 trillion dollars. Yes, trillion, not billion.

So I bought all the 1 million dollar race cars and tested them out. The race Viper and Tom's Supra got 9.6 400m. The other $1 million + cars only got into the 10s. What's cool is that you can either upgrade the turbos or get the N/A II or III packages on those cars. It usually bumps them up to 900+ hp. I also noticed that the N/A $1 million + cars that come with 500 or so hp. It only takes $14,000 (stage II N/A) to bump up the hp to 900+.

Now I only have $9,999,xxx,xxx,xxx left...

Don't asked me how he did it. I don't know. I don't really play the game that often anymore, but I'm happy with the money.

 

I've got a little over 50% complete...

The Escudo really moves... especially when you get the upgraded turbo and have over 1700hp!

There is some "cheat" in the game where you can hit silly speeds with the Escudo while doing wheelies down the straightaway...

I've seen a little over 500mph!

 

quick question... how do you get the Mugen S2000?? heard many times that it's in the game, but I have no clue how I can get it, HELP!!!

 

You get the Mugen S2000 from the Amateur Type-R Meeting. It's one of the 4 random cars you can win, the others being an NSX Type R, the Spoon Sports S2000, and a standard S2000...

 

I've got all 4... the Spoon actually has like 271hp but the Mugen is 243

Whats cool is that I've got 2 regular S2000s (1 is Phoenix Blue and one is Imola Orange Pearl)...

the Orange one is tweaked, the blue is stock (I'll pretend it's Suzuka Blue, hehe)

 

How do you all like this one?

I have found that the Spoon S2000 as well as the Spoon Civic handle alot better than the basic Honda versions.....

 

my Friend told me about this. I did it last night with toyota GT One. it briefly hit 4 digits on speedometer on test track. Best lap time was 1 min 10 second.

I about 65% done. For Person who got all the license but don't have money to buy new car 'cause sold old one, do Arcade mode. when you are don't 50% of arcade mode, they give you corvette C5R. nice car.

cheers,

You get a free C5R when you complete the simulation mode as well. I haven't even played the arcade mode yet.
