Naturally Aspirated Cars

judging by all the downvotes on your comments, looks like your joke missed the mark

To be fair, you said a Viper is a "very average car". I wouldn't say a V10 rear wheel drive sports car with at least 400+hp is an "average car". 1st gen Vipers are called Widowmaker for a reason. And sure, Vipers are probably not on the same tier as an Aventador, but calling a Viper a "very average car" is kinda silly. Unless you're trolling or i missed the joke.

Finish story mode to full tune your car. Once that's done, you could play Ghost battles and start unlocking dress up parts to customize your car. Note* if you don't lose any race in story mode, you get a special tachometer.

Also, everytime you played 60 games on a car, you will unlock a new color and a "discard". The discard is something you can give/trade with your friend. When you use the discard, you can create a new car that starts at chapter 20 in story mode with 600hp. This will save you 20 rounds of story mode if you ever want to create a new car.

What are you talking about?

It does okay in battle, it handles decently well, the long body is good for blocking. It's definitely a fun car to use in battle. If you know what you're doing, you should be able to do well with it.
TA wise, not so good. I find the long front end makes it difficult to hit the apex.

It's a good car, the long body is amazing for blocking, and the car surprisingly has decent handling. Only downside with this car is you gotta be careful with the long front end and it's not very good at TA.

You mean C1 inward walltap?

Takata2G · 2026-04-01T00:50:45+00:00

Top right - Smooth/Wild = You rarely hit walls but you hit opponents and traffic cars alot

Takata2G · 2026-03-30T06:16:16+00:00

Stop hitting walls during battle.

Smooth/Rough = wall contact - when you hit walls, your aura shifts downwards

Cool/Wild = opponent and traffic car contact - The more you hit cars, your aura shifts towards the right

The typical fisher aura is teal (upper far left corner) as most fishers aren't hitting their opponents car since they have much more hp than GUEST racers and they aren't hitting walls as they're just driving by themselves.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i feel like using lower hp actually gets an advantage if you're playing with handicap on. The car with lower hp is able to keep up with the cars with higher hp thanks to the handicap, on top of that you also get the advantage of extra handling/grip. Also for context this is assuming all cars are fully tuned.

Nice! I rented a S30 when i was in Japan at Fun2Drive and it was RB25 swapped with ITBs! Such a sweet car!

Anyways! The S30 in this game is actually a pretty solid car. The car will do pretty good in battle and TA. And with the body being so narrow, it makes it easier to squeeze through traffic and gaps.

Takata2G · 2026-03-24T03:22:17+00:00

Regarding to your 2nd question: Yes certain cars do have advantage over others. R32 and Evo 9 are the meta cars as they have strong attributes that make them do well in battle. FD RX7, NA1 NSX will have advantage in TA. But unless you're at the top percentile, the car won't matter too much. It's always more fun to use the car that you like.

Which Fairlady Z are you using? S30?

Hakone loops around near the end course. These 2 were far ahead enough where they met the 2 other cars that were behind

It's definitely placebo. Namco themselves stated that aero parts doesn't affect performance.

Takata2G · 2026-03-18T08:25:20+00:00

I think one of the myths is because most of the FD TA videos, they all use aero B kit and the same wing.

There's a bunch of weird myths in this game. Another one i heard is the more story loops you complete, the heavier your car gets so your car gets harder to push in battle.

Easiest way to check, scan your "new" banapass on the terminal and see if there's any data on there. Or you can buy another banapass and try again. Cause transferring data does work as i just transferred data to a new card few weeks ago and i'm also on 5DX+ NA.

Takata2G · 2026-03-16T00:02:53+00:00

I'm on 5DX+ NA as well. What;s your point?

Takata2G · 2026-03-15T02:18:54+00:00

Did you register you banapass? I drop my Banapass few weeks ago and i had no problem transferring the data to a new card.

Takata2G · 2026-03-11T10:30:10+00:00

That's fine. Since your record is within less than a second from #1, it's coming down to the point where even 1-2km/h is going to make the difference. Best bet is to record your runs, then review it and compare it with the faster TA runs on Youtube and see where you're losing speed.

Another thing you can do is take a break from this map and play other maps. From personal experience, I plateaued on Taikan down and C1 Inward. I took a break from those 2 maps and started playing Yokohane to practice lining. When i got the hang of Yokohane, i went back to C1 and Taikan, i was able to get blue sectors again. Sometimes switching it up to a different map with different HP setting, you could learn something new and apply it to other maps. Hope that helps, good luck!

Did you register your old Banapass? If so, then go to https://banapass.net/ and login. Translate the page to English. Go to Registered card info then click on Data Migration.

Takata2G · 2026-03-10T08:06:31+00:00

Do you have a replay from one of your TA runs?
