I may or may not pop in for a min. Depends on what my son wants to do.
 
I wish I could, but I'm out this Friday. I wanted to test the Lexus on the straights. It felt so underpowered last season. Dunno if @aceboy127 felt the same. Even with matched exit speeds, I could watch the gap widen tenth by tenth on the straights even with matched ballast (or no ballast). Now, I know I'm probably not fast enough to have an opinion, but my exits are the one thing I do do well...it's my entries that sometimes suck. Even with a lighter car on certain rounds, I needed the draft to keep pace in the straights. Just the thoughts of a completely mediocre driver...

Edit: I am aware that the 08 Lexus as-is was way slower than the other 08s , and that we are now using 2016s. The 08 was slower in GT5 and 6 as well by quite a bit.

I'm not so sure it's the Lexus being slower as much as it is the NSX being superior on the straights, inherently I think. I tested the NSX early on and I was quicker than I was in the GT-R, but I like the GT-R more. The schedule also had some tracks where top speed really mattered, Fuji, both Tokyo, Sardegna, even Suzuka. So might not be you at all mate.

That would make sense...it was definitely the NSX I was comparing too. You and I are hard to measure because you're so much better. +7% weight for you and +2% power for me was our sweet spot! Lol

I love the NSX. One of my fav JGTC cars of all time. It's a beast. The Castrol Toms Supra comes in a close 2nd.
 
Just to let you guys know about the preliminary results of myself testing the 2016 cars so far. All three cars are within .5 of a second at suzuka and tokyo south inner over 10 laps each deleting the 2 worst laps for spins and other unforseen things.

For those who want, as I know many of us have fun doing this, I'm happy to make a livery if you just dont want to. I've had an injured heel all week, so I cant drive ... been painting cars in game instead. (I'll be healed for this Saturday's GR3 fun run)
