Oh, I looked into it alright and kept looking past it.I'm going to hold you to that, you knowSurprised no one else seems to have tried to recreate it with the reintroduction of Grand Valley...
I’ll move that goal post like Lucy moves the football away from Charlie Brown. If PD add some GT300 cars from the past then, yeah, then it’ll look more likely for me to do it with six cars! 
Congratulations to @Skyrocket44 for managing to lap Tomahawk Xs in a freaking bone stock Aqua! Good shoutout to Vic too, for managing to beat an entire field of Gr.1 cars as well!
It's @Baron Blitz Red 's choice to pick this week, and he's consistently went for cars new to GT7 to try out. This week however, there's just a tiny bit of a change to that pattern.
Newly returning to the series in v1.48 after being late to the party for two years, let's welcome back to the Gran Turismo series the #16 Honda Castrol MUGEN NSX '00, otherwise known as the Honda NSX GT500 '00 in this game!

Honda, one of the "Big Three" Japanese manufacturers, has been embroiled in the battle for supremacy in the fastest class of Super GT, GT500, since the category's infancy in 1996. However, being rear mid–engined, the NSX was subject to air intake and mass penalties solely for slinging its engine aft the cockpit, ultimately proving to be too much for teams fielding the NSX to overcome... that is, until the turn of the millennium, when the #16 car of Team Mugen x Dome Project consistently finished strongly over the 2000 season, snatching away the points lead from its competitors at the end of the season without winning a single race!
Needless to say, the #16 Castrol MUGEN NSX is one of the most historically significant cars in Honda's history, but its significance in Gran Turismo games should not be overlooked. With the 2000 NSX GT500 joining the 1997 Supra GT500 and 1999 GT-R GT500 in Gr.3, we finally have the completed trio of the JGTC GT500 cars of the Big Three in GT7, which has traditionally been the focus of late–game Gran Turismo careers. In short, it's just a sight for sore eyes! And it makes one hell of a sound as well!
With all that said, will you join us in racing this amazing car under BoP, or take part in the Single–Player Challenge featuring this car?

There's no competition this week; I can't ask anyone to share a 2h replay. Just share your strats, car impressions, and maybe even photos or videos of your race here on this thread!
Of course, we always welcome opinions, tunes, liveries, photos, videos, or stories about the car here on the thread!
After screaming "NS SEEEEEEX" so much in our PS chat, I'm actually sad no one got the foreshadowing for the NSX being this week's car. Like, actually how dare you levels of sad.
Yes. Every week. But I don't post it unless I want to.Serious question: do you post songs, which you associate with the chosen cars? And if so, a little explanation would be nice as to why it is exactly song xy.

I think you quoted the wrong post.For the Murcielago "Mercy" by Kanye would be fitting as well.
That's amazing, how did you make those charts?
Was usually not more than a second off my tail even with lapped traffic, but could never mount a challenge. I did crash into a wall around where the track rejoins the short layout on lap 51, but that car had to pit anyway.
