No, you need to drive them, not just pick one out of the bag! :lol: If it's like that, I'll just pick one of the Opel Speedsters…

Ah, I get it.

I'll drive them ~11 hours after my offline warm-up in a '97 NSX.

If you take my R8 online ,you'll see by yourself that it's a very bad idea..:)

I thought it has your "ONLINE OK" tag. :lol: I'll keep that in mind for now.
 
Test complete.


Sorry about the videos quality, I'm not with a decent camera right now, I'm rocording with my cellphone...

Wheel: Driving Force GT
Aids: ABS 1, everything else off.

zero_speed's Evora 1:27.812
Very good car!
It's very easy to drive, not so easy as the Coutach , that has a perfect handle, but it's still very good. It oversteers a litte, that is perfect for my driving style!
And there's no understeer! If you want me to make fast laps give me a car that doesn't understeers!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GfxJG's Zonda 1:30.120
Sorry mate, but I really couldn't adapt to your car...It's ok to drive, but I tried to get a lap under 1:30 for more than 30min and nothing...
It's brakes are really good, but it sometimes oversteers on critical times!
I know that the car has much more to give, but it don't suits to my driving style, sorry...



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



bigberry's Countach 1:29.839
Man, I loved to drive this car! It isn't the fastest, but it handles like heaven! It understeers a litte, but it's still awesome!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ascr421's Audi TTS 1:28.392
What a car! It's not the kind of car that I like, because it understeers a litte on the corner's exits..
I like the car when it has a litte understeer like the Evora.But it stil made a great lap under 1:39! Perfect work, because I hate the TT :)

Correcting- ''I like the car when it has a litte oversteer like the Evora'' Not understeering




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



praiano63's R8 4.2 FSI 1:27.685
Perfect car!!I couldn't find a single problem, it seems that it was made for my driving style! There's no understeering, but there's no oversteering as well!
Great job my friend!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



XDesperado67's Audi Pikes Peak Quattro 1:28.710
OMFG! When I saw this car I tought that I wouldn't get a lap under 1:30 but could! It's the faster SUV I've driven.Congratulations Xdesperado67, this tune was the most surprising one! The car handles pretty good and there is no understeer at all!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CSLACR's M3 CSL '03 1:28.013
This is the best M3 I've driven! Very good work! The oversteer is there, of course, but it's just a little, the way I like! The car suits with my driving style perfectly just as praiano63's R8!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Temetias's Opel Speedster1:30.556
I think I drove this car to It's limit. It oversteers too much, but with some practice you will handle it. It's very fun to drive BTW. Good job!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dylans1o's Audi R8 4.2 FSI 1:28.105
Another very good R8! This car is perfect at corner's exits! No understeer at all! As good as praiano63's! Little more than 0,1s between them. They're both awesome cars!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assassin Tuner's M3 '04 1:29.045
I'm on the limit of the car here too...I don't see where I can be faster...But the car is great! I always knew that the CSL was faster, because I've already driven both before. But great job assassin tuner, I tought that the difference would be more! This car hasn't as much grip as the CSL, and it oversteers a little more.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-raVer-'s M5 '05 1:29.233
There's another car that isn't hard to drive, but it understeers, that is terrible for my driving style...Good work, it isn't a bad time, but I really couldn't bring this car to top.Maybe beacuse it's much heavier than the others BMWs.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CyKosis1973's Caterham Fireblade 1:32.878
I tought that this car would be hard to drive, but it isn't. I felt like I was driving a formula car, very much grip on the corners. I think that the bad time is explained because of low engine power. It was a pleasure to drive it!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shmogt's Miura 1:28.884
Awesome car! Very technical! Is pretty hard to find a fast lap, because if you go 101% of what the car allows, it punishs you! You can't release the break without a little throtle imput, otherwise the car oversteers flawlessly. :) That's the only problem; instability while braking, the rear wants to enter the turn before the front. Awesome job!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


madmyk's Zonda C12 1:29.384
Awesome work! This Zonda suits better to my driving style.
I really think it can go under 1:29, but I've tested it for 42min and that's the best I got.The car handling is good, no understeer, and a little bit of oversteer, just the way I like :)



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jackthelad's R8 4.2 FSI Tronic 1:29.114
Fast and easy to drive. The only problem? Understeer compared tho the othes R8s. This car is recomended for DS3 players, because it's very easy to drive, the praiano63's R8 and the Dylan's R8 have a little bit more grip.
If you use DS3 it's good to test this car.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GTP_Mafiaboy's Gallardo 1:29.767
The car is ok, the oversteer is there, and that's no problem for me, but the understeer is there too, and this is a big problem for me.
Very easy to drive too.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Slayer1002's M3 CSL 1:28.287
As good as the top 4 cars. Very similar to CSLACR's car in handling. I have nothing to say about it. It's just a perfect work in a car.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Krenkme's Opel Speedster 1:30.795
This car is pretty much easier to drive compared to the other Speedster, but it's limit is lower too...
The oversteer is pretty reduced, but the understeer is more evident in this Speedster, and that's too bad for my driving style...
If you have a DS3 and want to drive a speedster, this is the tune, if you have a wheel, use Temetias's tune.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dr Slump's BMW M3 '07 1:29.085
Pretty good car. It seems that the CSL model is faster than the 07, but the car is still good! Compared to the others BMWs, this carr has a little more understeer and is a little bit mor unstable. But nobody tuned the same model to compare.

That Evora is gonna be tough to beat. Lotus did one hell-uv-a Job on that thing IMO. Still I'm partial to the Espirit, just love the styling if it & the TTV8 is awesome. Tough car to drive though, fast when contained, but need some learning time to get used to pushing her. I think the Beemers are so well rounded.
 
IMO the fastest Lotus is the Elise 111R
That beast at 500pp is unbeatble!
At 550pp the NSX rules, at 525 I really don't know...
But I really would like to see a Elise on this shootout!
That's it for now, in some hours I will be making more tests.

Thank you for the kind words.:) Impressive time:tup:

Glad you like the tune. I tried alot of tuning but couldn't get rid of all the understeer. I wanted to bring something different to the shootout and it's good to see the TTS under 1:29.000. Great job.
Thanks for the test and feedback. 👍👍

Great job my friend!

Thanks Lex, congrats for the test, quick as your laps times. Good to know you like the car. After the shootout i'll try to adapt the tune for Online config too.
See you amigo,have a good week-end.
 
FTW I second Praiano's notion, while you're more than welcome to try my tune online, it's not going to work, I already tried it, you have to crawl to keep from spinning.

How can he try your tune online? A borrowed car can´t be taken online.

Yeah! I knew it had it in it to run with the boys.:crazy::D

6 -XDesperado67's Audi Pikes Peak Quattro 1:28.964

XDesperado67's Audi Pikes Peak Quattro 1:28.964 OMFG! When I saw this car I tought that I wouldn't get a lap under 1:30 but could! It's the faster SUV I've driven.Congratulations Xdesperado67, this tune was the most surprising one! The car handles pretty good and there is no understeer at all!
Great driving man!👍👍
 
Definitely not riding the limit there ;) doing a good job none the less. The Beemer must be broke or I'm truly disappointed at you tossing around an SUV faster. Sandbags in your Trunk or something? JK, but seriously though, you must of had an "off" session. I mean 4-real you could seriously do better...

What is truly interesting, and most notable is how different the Testers results are. Not time gap but fastest to slowest. I was expecting 1 car (Evora) to top most list. It's also showing that AWD and Mid Ship Supercars are not dominating. Very Interesting

I'm riding MY limit with that car...
I tried for about 1 hour!
But I will try again tomorrow...

Seriously Bro, you could do better, I'm sure. Makes me want to sell the car, that result has me so disappointed, saddened, almost a complete failure of a Tune.... Drive it off a Cliff.

Did you change the oil in that time at all Dude? HP drops as you drive, especially in a used car with over 13k on the odometer. Hell this car seems like it was NOT Fully repaired right before it was put on share or something.

Anyways, good Job, even though I think you must be able to do better with it. I'm just partial a feel the car is capable of better out of you. Your results disappoint me. I dunno. I'm being honest.

How can you be disapointed? I didn't call it the Bergmeister for nothing.:D

While this isn't my favorite track it does seem to really highlight differences in driving styles and the kinds of setups people prefer.

I am, I ran all cars in the Shootout (minus the Miura) I feel I gave a good idea of what they are capable of and how they stack against each other.

I'm in NO WAY bombing your SUV, great Job, but seriously Dude. Do I have to say it? I'm truly disappointed somebody couldn't get the Beemer around the Track as quick as a SUV when I know it's much faster. Somebody owes BMW engineers an apology. The Bitch Slap from Audi is like a Buffalo Slapping a Wolf.

I don't have the car, I took it from acsr421!
What lap time you think I should do considering the other lap times I've posted?
