sorry for sounding such a noob, but im wondering what the /B after the HP rating is ermm2.gif
for example, mine's 720HP/B. is that supposed to mean anything?
coz ive seen some signature which says 815HP/DG.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. The following are the answers to Sonix's question with their corresponding HPs:

DG - Dangerous Grip (780 - 815hp)
D - Drift (740 - 780 hp)
B - Balance (680 - 740 hp)
G - Grip (640 - 680 hp)
HG - High Grip (600 - 660 hp)

Dangerous Grip means that your car has very little grip on the road, letting your car slide of drift. The reason why this became dangerous is because, you can't really turn well. It's more on sliding.

Drift setting is pretty much the same as DG except that you have a bit more control on the car.

Balance - need I say more?

Grip setting allows you to turn tighter but doesn't let you slide or drift your car that much, allowing you to make your turns later than those on drift setting. (partly because of the lower HP)

High Grip is basically an improved Grip setting. Also the slowest of them all.

@RB33: thanks man!

so, let's say i play the game with 720HP/B. then after the race i decide not to continue, it would print 720HP/B. then next play, i set it to 740HP (that would be D, right?) what would be printed on the card? would it then print 740HP/D?

Yep. Usually, the machine records your last known settings on your card.

The ratings are not only for those fixed HP ratings, it's really based on how many blocks of power/handling you have over the other. Reason I can say this is that I've gone and gotten a few 600 HP/DG cards, which is possible because as I said, the rating is on handling blocks compared to power blocks.

DG, as mentioned above, is Dangerous Grip (very low grip levels). This indicates that there is 8+ tuning blocks of power more than your handling level. The lowest HP that can carry the /DG label is (generally speaking) 520 HP (aka. you went and put all power and no handling from stock).

D, for Drift, indicates that there is 3-7 blocks of power over handling. The lowest HP that can carry the /D label is (also generally speaking) 360 HP.

B, for Balance, indicates that the power and handling are 2 or less blocks apart from each other; it can be either handling or power that has more blocks, just so long as they are less than 3 blocks apart.

G, for Grip, indicates that there is 3-7 blocks of handling over power. Generally speaking, most drivers will not use this setting except on Hakone.

HG, for High Grip, indicates that there is 8+ tuning blocks of handling over the power rating. Top grip at maximum tune will always be 600 HP/HG.

The reason most players, when showing off the numbers their cars make, will always display /DG is because that's the only way to show off the total amount of tuning blocks on the car. The first 20 stages will give you a 600 HP/B car (10 blocks of power and 10 in handling), and after that point, other tuning blocks you acquire can be reassigned to whichever setting you so choose, thus allowing adjustments for a particular course. Assigning all those extra mobile blocks to power will increase the HP rating up by 20 HP/block until 800 HP/DG, where the final 2 blocks that can be acquired give, respectively, 10 and 5 HP, for a maximum total of 815 HP/DG on a maximum tuned car.

No problem, I've gone and experimented with a few cards on how you can tune them to achieve some interesting titles/unique ways for raising up a car. I've actually gone and made a few cars that had "Power mania" (all power and no handling blocks from stock), and it gets real difficult trying to steer at 600 HP/DG, even harder IMO than 800 HP/DG.

A S30Z with no handling blocks and all power is insanely drifty and likes being all over the place.

I would like to make a statement about the cards just for guidance for those who would be confused with this:

If you completed all 4 parts of the Story, you will recieve a number "2" next to where it shows your horsepower. That's because this is your second time playing the game from the beginning.

For Beginners Only:

While I'm on/part of the subject, let me show you what you will recieve after each part... it's not VERY important:

Part 1: Circle

Part 2: Square

Part 3: Triangle

Part 4: Star

If I made any mistakes, let me know.

Balance is good way to go. Even though I have around 660Hp in B, I have tried DG, D, G, HG but Balance seems best compared to other ones. Maybe its becuase of my car but I don't know.

Meh, it all depends on the course and driver style (and car). Those who can handle the squirrely handling that comes with a 800HP/DG setup can and often do use it on courses that they feel they can handle with it.

It's best to go with Balance though if you are new. But for some reason, i'm starting to go to Drift.

I generally use full power on the NBL (800+ HP/DG), 740-780 HP on the C1 loop, and only 660-720 HP on Hakone. I really need to work on speeding up my line in Hakone...

BTW, what HP do you guys use on the Metro circuit (complete)? I use 760 or 780 unless my opponent can't make that HP.
