[Die_Birdy_Die]

if you want to capture either some ideas im fine with it. many different combinations are good leaving it open by PP or A La Snail Spec everyone rides the same.

yes the Capp is a good Mouse on Comfort mediums!!

I'm up for whatever especially if I FINALLY get to slam into you legally But no matter how you decide to run it put up a car list in advance so that people aren't constantly leaving to get the car, it's always best to just keep the teams flowing and the cars rolling.

When C&M was a regular series we were colour coordinated and everything lol

Oh the memories, it's The Fast and The Furious right?

 

[src_ej6]

Oh the memories, it's The Fast and The Furious right?

Yep, the first one.

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Oh the memories, it's The Fast and The Furious right?

lol it's definitely furious, fast... not so much!

 

[src_ej6]

lol it's definitely furious, fast... not so much!

Ah, such ignorance. I forgot running 13s trapping over 100mph was slow.

 

[Vitessekid]

lol it's definitely furious, fast... not so much!

In racing movies they show the main character press the accelerator pedal harder when he wants to go faster lol, it's funny everytime they show that type of scene.

Hay I didn't say It wasn't a challenge, I just said it wasn't fast lol. Yes I am spoiled by the LMP's with in GT6
as for 13's, ha ha ha remember not a D1 I'm just trying not to crash!

That's a REAL svt Lightning that ran 13's rated at 427 Hp and lighter. This POS in gt6 runs slow and feels slow. Is under powered and drives funny compared to the real version of itself.
I don't think any real time was put into the physics of any of trucks in gt6. They all feel incredibly off compared to their real counterparts.

But then again they are trucks lol. In the game just so you can play around with them. Not meant to be taken too seriously. Or raced for that matter ( imo )

I do that subconsciously on GT 6 all the time.

Pedal Mashing! Lol

Lol, like @lllTrick said, I'm quoting IRL specs. Fast times are 1:52s. 13s would be above alien level times.

So... @Wolfsatz I won't make it to the races tonight I've been told I'm going to the drive in.

GOOD LUCK SUNDAY
RACE HARD / RACE CLEAN / RACE SNAIL


FUN FACTS
​

1...Fords first factory assembled "pickup" was built on April 15th 1925. Basically a model T runabout with a pickup body and sold for $281.
When introduced in 1948 the F-1 was produced at all 16 of Fords assembly plants at the time. Today only two plants build the truck (Kansas City and Dearborn )
The longest running component that was used on every single truck from 1959 till 1979 was the front bumper.

2... The Red Cross and Snake that adorn the Alfa badge are from the city of Milan and the Visconti family.
In the 1933 Mille Miglia, the first 10 cars to take the checkered flag were Alfa Romeo's.
President John F Kennedy owned an Alfa Giulietta Spider.

3... Carroll Shelby - Tough Guy and Hopeless Romantic. During WW II he spent time in San Antonio as a flight insructor. On longer missions he would drop love letters stuffed inside leather boots out of his plane when flying over his fiancé 's farm
In 1965 he built the ultimate Cobra for his own personal use. Called the "Supersnake" it came with two superchargers and pumped out an incredible 800 hp.
Not sure why you would, but at one point you could order a Cobra with an automatic transmission and 16 people apparently did just that! I'm sure quite rare and expensive as some Cobras can sell for over a million dollars nowadays!

yes the Capp is a good Mouse on Comfort mediums!!

Might I suggest SNAIL style Cat and Mouse (one make & tuning prohibited) using the following cars:

CAT - Nissan GT-R NISSMO '14
MOUSE - Volkswagen Lupo GTI '01

Both cars on Sport Soft tires

Two teams, blue and white

 

[Wolfsatz]

Yes Captain!!! LOL

Make her happy!!

That is fine choice. What do you suggest for the Wild Cat? perhaps GT-R on RAcing Tires to make it easy.

I'll plan to open the room on public lobby at around 9:45 (La Novela has me going)

CAT AND MOUSE TONIGHT!!!!
A way to legally smash some Wolves!

CAT - Nissan GT-R NISSMO '14 (Red / Blue / White)
MOUSE - Volkswagen Lupo GTI '01 (Red / Blue / White)

Sport Soft Tires -

Wild Cat ? Track? Nurburgring ?

OPEN

 

[SAMHAIN85]

I'm definitely interested in some cat and mouse next time, can't make it tonight

 

[JamCar0ne]

I am assuming the Wild Cat has the same job as an HKS or Bull Dog. Is in play when room is uneven (odd number of players) and their job is to attack the lead mouse.

So, they should be on sport soft tires as well. Since the Cat is 582 pp (with oil change), Wild Kat should be a similar pp (perhaps up to 600pp) and a much different color than the two teams.

I distinctly recall watching this auction in tv. It was fantastic to see collector car history being made at the time.

A few months ago we watched some moron light up a rental Mustang in a U-turn. The car was fine, but his poor kid in the back seat got clobbered by the huge suitcase they were leaving the airport with as it swapped sides in the back seat.

OPEN

so the turn out at the beginning was almost non existent, but as the the time passed, the room had up to 10 snails and a few other special invitees!

I think there is enough interest to give it a try again next Friday with well established cars and perhaps even teams as to minimized the time lost trying to make teams on the fly and explaining the objective of the game for the 20th time over the night.

Some of the Cats were racing and ahead of the Mice.

IMO the SS tires are too grippy.

I'll tinker around with a few more Car Combos. Where is @Rallywagon when you need him? At the end of the night, all those that never had played C&M had a blast and it was a superb night! Perhaps next week I can get 'real team mates' @chatva

I'll post some pictures later on.

Agree SS tires may be too grippy. However, it's cat and mouse with untuned cars, so the tires help a bit. After all, we are drivers of different abilities and lesser tires may amplify this. Maybe weak boost will help some of the players keep up with there mice.

An idea for a really slow combo of cars could be the Fiat 500 R '72 (226pp) for mouse and the Fiat Coupe Turbo Plus '00 (416pp) for car
