Fix Shelby Cobra braking issues in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec by adjusting brake settings and understanding its unique weight distribution. Learn how to tune this quirky FR car.
Walkthrough
- 1Understand the Shelby Cobra's weight distribution: The car carries most of its weight on the rear axle, with the engine positioned almost entirely behind the front axle, making it behave more like a mid-engine (MR) car.
- 2Adjust brake settings: Turn down the brake settings, as higher settings cause the brakes to grab harder, which can be problematic with the car's weight bias.
- 3Brake before turns: Due to the weight distribution, it is imperative that you brake before entering a turn. Trail braking, which is common in MR cars, is difficult and potentially treacherous with the Shelby Cobra.
- 4Tune like an MR car: Consider using a setup similar to what you would use for an MR car, rather than tuning it like a traditional FR car.
- 5Manage expectations: Remember that the Shelby Cobra is an older car and will not handle like a modern high-performance vehicle. Its quirky and twitchy handling is intentional to maintain a degree of realism, mirroring the original cars.
Tips
- Many players struggle with the Shelby Cobra because they attempt to tune it as a conventional FR car.
- Once you get the car dialed in with the correct settings, it can become a great car to drive.
- Embrace the car's unique characteristics; its twitchy nature is part of its charm and realism.
