Yes it has back seats but according to the rules that doesn't matter. The rules just say the car must be a 2 door, fully convertible car which the 307CC is.

CyKosis1973I think what Praiano is saying, and it's something I agree with, is that the S2000 is going to win the speed element of this Shootout.
There's been lots of talk of 1:26 laptimes and the S2000 comes along and bangs in a 1:24 without breaking a sweat. I purposefully avoided this car because I suspected this would be the case. To be honest, I didn't want to go near the MX-5, as I thought there'd be a bucket of them already. Unless I can get this Pug 206 to work better, I'll go with the Mazda as it seems to be posting similar times to others.

Lol ya there are more elements to this than just speed. If you build a car that is super fast, but very hard to drive not all the drivers will land really great times. In one of the other shoot outs I had a Miura and I found it was handing fairly good times, but only really good drivers were landing good times as it was too difficult for everyone. Also cykosis that's what I intend lol.

We've had a long-standing "unspoken" expectation since X's FF shootout that once you post the tune you should not change it as people will be using the tune to test pretty much as soon as you post.
With photos, as it is a new idea in the tuning comps, I will allow changes up to the deadline. You can get opinions from folks if you like but I would say try not to have people decide exactly which picture you should use. In other words, ask if they think the lighting or composition are OK but try not to say "which should I use". I won't police it though.
I missed this the first time.
I'll add you shortly.Can I still join as a tuner?
Yep! As long as you get your tune and pic before the deadline you can enter. 👍
Yes it has back seats but according to the rules that doesn't matter. The rules just say the car must be a 2 door, fully convertible car which the 307CC is.
As Roj pointed out I did specify two seats. Most of what is available is of the proper configuration.
Once the deadline rolls around and the photos are in I will create a poll in the PhotoMode Competition forum and have it open to voting from all GTP members. I'll link it here on the first page as well.

Okay now I feel really dumb. First I get on this morning and first thing I notice is that my killer car from last night is way way over the PP limit.
Now this...somehow I missed the 2 seat part in the OP.
So now I'm down to two cars. One of them I'm pretty sure is being tuned by someone else. The other one is such an oddball that I doubt many people even thought of it.
So guess which one ole Harvey Wallbanger here will be tuning for the shootout most likely.

You got your reading glasses on, old boy..?? Borrow mine if you like, defo 2 door, 2 seaters. Unless they mean must have at least 2 seats..??
Keep it tight to the rest of the pack and rely on making the car standout in the way it drives, that's my aim. I usually fail aiming for outright speed.
Then I hope you like chrome.
You know I drove all the way up to Brum from South Dorset, just to see a stripped and polished AC Cobra?? Hands down, the most stunning car I've ever seen with my own bare eyeballs

Oops! Guess I got the wrong link. Updating with this one shortly.
This is what I had hoped for!
From my experience in previous shootouts there have been some great feeling cars entered that, unfortunately, came in toward the middle or end of the board on time. I wanted to find a way to make both aspects important. Glad you guys caught on to my thinking.

Although it does make me wonder how many 4 seat convertibles are in the game. Also wonder how many have that so called jump seat behind the two seats that you stuff small children and pets in when the top isn't in the way.
Love the AC Cobra just wish PD had done a better job modeling it in GT5. It was the car most often used by a lot of car magazines as a performance measuring stick for many years when they talked about or tested high performance sports/supercars.

DB are you going to link builds in the OP?
I had a 307 already tuned and got in it and lost where ghost was and looked back and saw seats and just died...maybe another time for it or just post it in the the garage

Yep, everything already posted should be linked. If I've missed something let me know.
Ive tried the V8S it felt a bit sluggish and the laptimes werent good enough to spend more time on it. Ive tried the old Corvette premium also, it wasnt fast enough it probably has skinny tyre syndrome.
To those that have chosen their cars already what other cars should i be considering ?
I dont want to do a Z4 as Indys done one and theres a few S2000s already I havent found anything I like yet. Theres one car the MGF which is decent but isnt terribly fast.

Nissan 350z although I found it slow. Alfa Romeo spider 3.01, spider 1600 duetto. Caterham fireblade although has no doors and one seat. Chrysler crossfire which I think could be good. Fiat barchetta which is super light weight. There's like a billion different year of s2000 and miatas and trust me each one is different. My tune doesn't apply to another s2000 I have even thou the other one has a tiny bit more HP and same weight the times are much slower in it. All MG I think. Peugeot 206 cc. RUF 3400S although slightly high on the pp already. TVR Griffith 500, but again a little high on pp. Triumph spitfire. Finally Toyota MR2 which there are a few models to try. I think that's pretty much it that qualifies and no one has submitted for yet.
