C-ZETA's car reviews - C-ZETA Awards 2012 - 21/12/12

[C-ZETA]

All the Lancers and Imprezas?

I think the winner there would just be self-explanatory. And no, I wouldn't wanna collect all of them anyway. Especially not the Imprezas.

 

[XDesperado67]

Okay, but that still leaves the S2000s, Miatas, Lancer Evos or NSXs...

For your info, 'type' does not mean 'model'. OK?

Ok then, you're making your choices based off country or powertrain or some other things...

 

[XDesperado67]

Sorry it was that #38 that got me going...hmm

Hey I got it your testing all the Kei cars!

Fun and funny as that might well be, that's not the answer. And the Cappuccino EA21R would just walk the tests

Hate to break it to you but the cap sucks. There are a number of Kei cars that out perform it at any given PP you want. Daihatsu rules the Kei car world, at least with heavily tuned Kei cars, and let's be honest here if you don't heavily tune a Kei car what's the point as they all perform about the same untuned.

But I would be doing them untuned. That's the thing.

 

[shirakawaa]

Yes, for some reason most Daihatsu kei cars in GT5 can be tuned to higher power levels than other ones.
I'm looking much forward to an all-kei shootout (stock), by the way. How many are there, 12-15 different ones in total?

More like 20 or 30 of them including all the ones from the late 60s and early 70s that have even less HP stock than the modern ones.

You can see a full listing of them by checking the eligible cars for the A-Spec Kei Cup series. Of course as usual for PD many of them are either the same car model for different sales regions such as the Cuore/Mira or else different model years such as the 3 Beats. Then you have those that offered either an FF model or a 4WD model.

 

[Skython]

Wow, reviewer that disliked the Aventador AND the V12 Vantage! I disagree with you.

I don't dislike either - just those two aren't that great for me here.

Hmmmmm. Is it the speed or what?

The Aston isn't anywhere near lively enough and is therefore a bit boring. The Aventador is largely off-spec and doesn't seem to want to do what you want it to.

Really? I thought the complete opposite of the Aston, it's brilliant.

 

[GT350GT]

I Read about the Option Stream Z, and wasn't it ment to average 180mph for the longest time or something? which subsequently means that Option was not that "Bothered" about the acceleration. Apparently they got to 70mph, and slammed into 6th, where it would keep climbing to 180

That's correct.

Although I've never seen the point of such contests, honestly.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Maybe it is to see how long can you stand driving at the same speed before you rage quit the race...

That's effectively the same as a muscle car race on Route X. Every single muscle car has no top speed, which is useful on Route X.

That or making a one-make 2CV race around the 24H Nurb track... Super patience, go!!!

 

[XDesperado67]

The Option Stream Z was built to compete in the Silver State Classic. Sort of a legal Cannonball run type race that was run on public highways in Nevada. While the highways used are fairly well maintained and have limited curves they are not the same as running on a purpose built racetrack. Add in the generally blistering heat and you have in effect a tarmac road rally under less than perfect conditions using "Street Legal" cars. The ability to reach and maintain 180mph over 70 or 80 miles without the car breaking down thus becomes more important than either a maximum top speed that can't be maintained or quick acceleration.

 

[XDesperado67]

Hey C-ZETA krenkme and myself have found you a third car if your up to doing a comparison review with krenkme's "Rellik" and my "Spectre".

The candidate for third car is....VtiRoj's ZZII " Destroyer" at 647PP.

Oh and sorry about the double post.

C-zeta, please give the spectre a thrashing like I did. But adjust rear downforce in necessary. As told .

I'm prohibited by my own laws from testing RKM now.

 

[uMadson?]

I'm prohibited by my own laws from testing RKM now.

... but I don't see any rebuttals from Roj on having his Destroyer tested by you

(or I was just split-eyed for a moment.)

 

[Dragonthing]

But...you could pick any of my cars if you wanted I promise I won't be mean if you don't like them...

You're the exception, Dragonthing.

Well then get reviewing!

 

[C-ZETA]

Though I can't now, still got the super powerful demon neutron zombie ninja pirate from hell and outer space 38 car test to do. Need two cars now, and those being the ones I can't get in the UCD. Or the Dealerships.
