It's good to see a few more members join in the fun. I for one have been unable to put much effort if at all to contributing lately. I'm still playing though any time I do get a chance. But please, keep up the banter. Cheers!

That's fair. Straight line braking, for whatever reason, is pretty awful compared to a certain other Japanese supercar that I am comparing it to. It's an amazing car, just something that takes getting used to.

In a little over 12 more hours, we'll know the next car
I almost cant wait... just like this LF-A, it almost cant brake...
I would have to agree with @GTP_MPower... awful brakes...

I'd check that watch again. Seems a bit off.
Do you want the good news, or the bad news?

I'm calling it a sleeper. 50% chance that I'm right

You are right, there's a 50% chance that the next car in line will be a sleeper, because it'll be so dull that we will all fall asleep after driving it. Zing!

Well not to get pedantic, it's a 33% split between Beater,Neutral or Sleeper.I'm calling it a sleeper. 50% chance that I'm right
But there'll be one continuous variable in play and that's how well Sauber do tomorrow.

The good news is that we'll be giving out a cowbell before the race, and next week's car is already decided, so Sauber's performance won't be a factor. Stay tuned to Sauber's Google+ community for details on how and when to enter.

My final day with this Japanese supercar, I decided to test the LFA and its nemesis, the GTR Nismo to see how they compare. Both cars were dealership fresh examples, no oil change, and CS tires.
1 lap, then 3 timed laps

LFA: 1:36.872
GTR: 1:35.535

LFA: 1:47.872
GTR: 1:46.675

I'm not sure I like where this is going, lol.
Congratulations Thomas_633!
Give these people what they want before I get drug out into the streets and sacrificed to the gods of speed!
Quickly, I'm not sure how much longer I can contain them! They're breaking down the doors!
Tell my wife that I loved her sister more...
You know what, scratch that last bit... and one of the two pictured above could also probably use a spanking.

Wrong car picture again, Brad, that's the newest Demio. I wouldn't mind driving that one, really. But is the old one decent? I guess I have to find out...

I did the best I could with what I was given. I blame Google for the oversight.

I'll let you off the hook for now, because old Demios (that's the first ever Mazda 2's OG name, don't you know) aren't the strongest chick magnets I know of. Although the girl is quite hot, so there's that to consider as well. A decent job, all things considered.

Oh boy! I can't wait to struggle in this little thing. Actually, it should be a little gem of a car for its class. Mazda never disappoints, unless you are hoping for a MX-5 with 200 hp from the factory. Then, they always disappoint. It doesn't matter what gen it is, it's getting either Spirited Green, Montego Blue, or Black Cherry on it.

it handles like a van for some inexplicable reason... It looks like:
1. The suspension has collapsed.
2. It became a ford Transit.
Oh and mine is yellow... like my mum's...
