TEST RESULTS
Camaro Z 28 1:14.039 DC 3.5
Had a bit of trouble on turn in,couldn't nail the apex,cost me some time.Gearbox rows through em nicely.Hard braking keeps it nice and stable.Easy ride.
Mercedes Benz c63 1:13.913 DC 4.7
7 Speed converted to a 5 speed.Nicely done.Very stable through the elevation changes,and the handling was very good.Just enough braking initiates just a slight bit of oversteer allowing for excellent car rotation and predictable corner exit.Lots of fun once you get used to it.
Dodge Viper 1:13.536 DC 4.3
6 gears.Never saw 6th gear,didn't even notice.But there did seem to be a lull between 4th and 5th.No matter for me.I was too busy enjoying the ride.Lots of grip through the uneven parts of the track.Braking into and through the corners was almost perfect,with just a bit of body roll on exit.
Jaguar XJ 1:13.534 DC 3.8
The car seemed a bit too heavy,with a little too much body roll for me to get the best out of it.Nice acceleration and it carries itself well,but cornering was a bit tricky for me.
Corvette C6 1:13.361 DC 3.8
Corner entry at high speed was a bit tricky.The slow in fast out approach got me my most consistant times.Handling was very good,especially through the elevation changes,maybe just a bit too stiff for my driving style.
Dodge Challenger 1:13.122 DC 3.9
The car seems a bit heavy,especially when braking hard,had a bit of trouble shedding speed and gaining a stable entry.But it held nicely through the exit,and I could get back on the gas in a quick and predictable manner.
Lexus ISF 1:12.933 DC 5.0
All 8 gears judiciously applied at a high rate of velocity.Outstanding.Turning in,through and out of corners is perfect,with just a hint of oversteer to help you through it all in a very predictable fashion.Brake deep into the braking zones and get back on the accelerator really fast.Excellent car and my favorite of the shoot out.
BMW M3 1:12.826 DC 4.9
Getting hard to find things to say now.I sat for 10 minutes after testing (beating the stuffing out of) this car trying to compose my thoughts and came up with 5 words: Hard to find something wrong.Just get into the car and drive real fast.I'll take 2 please!
Corvette Gransport 1:12.821 DC 4.5
What a fast car.Quick and agile,ready to go fast from the start.One itty bitty problem for me was on brake pedal lifting there seemed to be a bit of oversteer which I had trouble correcting.High speed turn in cost me some time because of this,otherwise the car was a blast to drive.
Alfa Romeo 1:12.691 DC 4.8
A light,quick nimble ride.Seemed a bit skittish through the elevation changes,but thats probably because I was going so fast.Cornering is an afterthought,just point and shoot.This car brought out the aggressive driver in me and it forgave any little mistake I made.Nice.
Ferrari 599 1:12.423 DC 4.9
I really like the way the Italian cars are portrayed in the game,and this one is no exception.It was a bit tricky on corner exit but proper throttle control allowed me to really nail it.Deep braking on a straight even line made for a very thrilling ride.Awesome tune.
Camaro SS 1:12.325 DC 5.0
This car demanded a little more finesse,a light touch if you please.Precise input on the throttle and brakes led to carrying speed through the corners which,in my humble opinion,was the best of the bunch in that regard.I didn't have to stop the car,it was more like just slowing down and easing through the turns nice and gently,but really really fast.(hard to explain)
BMW M5 1:12.178 DC 5.0
My oh my,what a fast car.Thankfully,it brakes in a nice straight line making for a stable easy entry.Just be careful when you exit as this cars animalistic nature will loosen your back end a bit.Very easy to drive and a beast at the same time.Winner.
