Stable setup?

Which rim setup and bodykit is best for a stable setup? I want to make a really quick car but a stable one(lots of grip)

 

I mean, vivace hill climb has aall the right ingredients; it’s light, zippy, has the right aero, the right tires, low to the ground, and stable. It’s the car I use in road time trials the most (or the SBR4)

 

I still can't get how people can go fast in Vivace. Sure, it is stable, but it also understeers (until it lift-oversteers) and it has very mild aero, if any. I know comparing rally cars to hill climb cars is like comparing apples to oranges, but I'd take hill climb Wendover over a Vivace any day – and this isn't to say that the Wendover is the most stable either.

OT: Not sure if mods count, but the track toy config from the Bolide Expansion Pack is stupidly stable. Pair it with downtuned AGR turbo V10 and modern racing slicks (i.e. with Dreid C70-2 19x11 in front and 19x12 in rear) and you have yourself a sub 6:30 Nordschleife car.

 

Oh, I usually do rally stages, and the wendover rally (or pessimism rally or LeGran rally) is awesome for that.

 

Thing is though, I tend to avoid older cars because I'm not good without anti-lock brakes and I'm not convinced that no abs is better than abs

 

Not as grippy are racing slicks in the corners though. The drag tires have much lower grip coefficients for side movements than racing slicks do in the game. My favorite race tires are the ones mounted to 15x10 rims.

 

So you are saying that 15x10 time are better than 20x11

 

It depends on what car you're using, on a scintilla it'll look goofy but on a sunburst it'll be the right size paired with meaty tires.

 

On the older cars, absolutely. There is a particular sidewall height that is ideal on tires. Ever noticed that NASCAR and Formula 1/2/3 tires are "meaty" It's because there is an ideal sidewall height. Too thick and you have too much movement of the tire related to the wheel, but too thin and there is too little movement. When there's too little, the vehicle feels as if it is on ice once it starts skidding. Too much, and it feels really mushy not snappy.
