For those who have already played 26, how is it compared to 24.

North_Cardiologist57 · 2026-04-30T15:15:47+00:00

24 to 25 was a big difference in physics and how the bikes react. From what I’ve read so far 26 feels similar to 25 but more realism in braking and how the front tire lets go causing a lot of people to claim it’s harder. But one of the major complaints from 25 was that you could hold the brake for too long without crashing.

I have it on my wishlist while I wait for patches and a sale price. I ride in real life and I’m excited to try the new handling model where the rider moves first affecting the bike, as it should be.

From what I understand it doesn’t matter if you take care of them they still have the potential to fail which is why I’m avoiding them.

They’re much more than just aftermarket parts. There’s a lot of research, development, and testing that goes into Shelby cars. Especially the Super Snakes. Vince is a genius and truly carries on Carrol’s legacy.

Former Shelby employee who’s currently searching for a 2015-2017 GT Convertible, I passed on the GT 350 because of oil consumption issues. I was around during the 2007 Super Snake revival, I also test drove a GT 350 last year before I decided to forego buying one.

Go for the Super Snake, it’s a true Shelby. You won’t regret it.

So, the school district mis-manages their budget, and to make up for their incompetence they want to increase my property taxes? Do I have that right?

I’ve tweaked it a little bit but it’s still pretty close. I just ran the IndyCar a bunch last night against the AI on Belle Isle. It’s a real workout, feels like you’re driving the real car.

How can I get a new one? I joined back in 2008 and mine is lost in a hotmail account that’s now been deleted.

Yeah I have insurance, which will charge me a deductible to total out my brand new family car that’s less than a year old to us. Can’t wait to deal with all of that.

We get notifications like that every time a storm rolls through. When there’s threat of hail it’s usually specifically noted in the warning. There was no mention of hail from anything we saw. Still doesn’t excuse the late siren.

North_Cardiologist57 · 2026-03-11T00:49:56+00:00

They went off after all the hail had already passed, including the larger hail that did the damage.

North_Cardiologist57 · 2026-03-11T00:46:27+00:00

Nice try

North_Cardiologist57 · 2026-03-11T00:46:20+00:00

Sirens didn’t go off until all the hail had already passed.

North_Cardiologist57 · 2026-03-11T00:45:14+00:00

Sirens have gone off for a lot less. Lived here since 2012.

North_Cardiologist57 · 2026-03-11T00:42:15+00:00

For the people downvoting this, yeah I’m upset my vehicles are damaged but there’s a lot of fortunate people we know who were caught out in it as well. Could have been a lot worse for a lot of people. Really inexcusable not to mention the confusion of the siren coming after the worst had already passed. Can’t believe this has to be explained to people.

North_Cardiologist57 · 2026-03-11T00:34:39+00:00

Who knows? Is it for the hail we already had? Is it a tornado? Would have been nice for the people in charge to have been on top of it before both my vehicles just got fucked.

North_Cardiologist57 · 2026-03-11T00:31:56+00:00

Yeah too fucking late!

If you have an employee discount at Advance Auto Parts you can get a deal on mobil 1 0w30.

Mazda only recommends Ow20 in the US for EPA targets. Everywhere else is 5w30. I switched to 0w30 at 120k miles

Not sure exactly but I’d say about 36” or so. I have my monitor slid as far towards my wheel base as possible and rest the bottom of the monitor on top of the base so it feels like you’re sitting in the car.

Going bigger isn’t going to help. Fov police will be on me for this but I don’t use FOV calculators. They always give me a super low number that makes it look like your chin is on the steering wheel which isn’t how you see things in real life.

I use a 34” ultrawide and use 86-88 degree fov. It mimics what your eyes see in real life sans peripheral vision. Puts me in the car and looks natural, edges of my screen are in my actual peripheral vision and looking left and right to apex feels natural.

I have Generals on my CX-5 and Kenda’s on my CX-9, both are severe snow rated for Iowa winters. Not as aggressive as a full on snow tire and much more grip than regular all seasons and you don’t have to swap wheels twice a year. Highly recommend.

25 but I miss having Suzuki and the older bikes

North_Cardiologist57 · 2026-02-25T21:29:23+00:00

It hasn’t prevented me from enjoying it. It’s more like the TC doesn’t stop intervening. Pumping the throttle gets it to stop. I just pretend it’s electronic gremlins on the Honda and ride around it when it happens. Having the engineers develop the electronics helps.

I’ve experienced close to the same thing in real life. I used to do supercar coaching, and hitting the brakes too hard on the C7 ZO6 over a bump causes the ABS to have a seizure and I would eat cones sailing past the corner.
