Question...I already have all the cars on the list, but they have rims on them. Do you guys mind if the cars only have wheels since they don't offer a performance advantage, or do you want them 100% stock?

Thanks

Rims are cool dude just make sure to pick up the sports mediums for the 2 hondas. And do oil change..

I'm gon play todai

I'll try to join in later but I have a Lexus race and I might start up a Spec Miata practice room.

 

[redreevos]

I am going to buy all the cars, and hopefully be able to find you guys online this week. Always a real joy for me to get to race with so many clean, fast drivers.

 

[SpecMiata-JSW]

First off….brilliant racing last night fellas! I’ve been having a lot of fun racing with you guys and I think it’s even helped me find more pace on the track. Thanks for having me!

Secondly, I was thinking about the car list that we used last night and what the recommended cars were, I loved the S2K and Miata, those cars were an absolute blast. I think some cars that we should pick up that we haven’t used (at least when I’ve been online) are the G37 (used at Rome Reverse Round 1), the 4 door G37, and possibly the older Z or older Skylines. Have you guys used any of these cars online yet? It’s tough to predict what we’ll be driving next week, but we know it’ll be a Nissan product, so why not drive the hell out of all of them this week to get comfortable for next week?

Just a thought. Anyway; great times last night, I’m looking forward to some more racing tonight. Cheers!

I'm kinda burnt out on the whole Nissan thing. Good thing I dont have to worry bout using them. I know you guys need the practice so I'll keep practicing with ya. I'll be glad when this is over and we can start using everything BUT nissans for a while. lol. The new cars we picked are freaking fantastic though.

Sounds like a brilliant idea. I'm going to go ahead and pick up all the premium nissans tonight.
Also, since it got so many hits during rounds 2 and 3 if anyone has any decent Eifel tracks, we should have a go at those. I'll make an effort to create something similar in feel to the ones they ran, but I'm not very good at the track creator.... :/

By the way, when you gift me the tuned z I should be able to gift 3 (i think) after duping it...
Sooo...Who still needs the academy tuned z?

Edit: That s2k is a brilliant little car, don't know why honda sucks at making anything else....

 

[PoTtHeD]

I could use one stig!!!

 

[blindsidefive0]

Dolf - thanks for running with me all day yesterday. You may be sick of driving the same couple Nissans but THAT (tuned 370z) is an awesome car. Great balance, a good bunch of power, and it does exactly what you tell it to do.

Stig, I'll get it out to you tonight by 7:30 when I log on. I must have sent my last car really late as the game still wouldn't let me send one at Midnight last night (maybe it didn't recognize the time change). 💡

I'm not a fan of the Nissan's either, but hey, on the bright side we only have one week left of driving them. I think driving some course maker tracks is a good idea....man I really hope they don't throw us that curve ball at the finals; but it will be good to practice that style layout.

 

[The Outlaw]

Can you hook me up with a Tuned Z, Stig??? Maybe I can give you something in return... 💡

Lol my ps3 still is an hour behind....I've gotta get a usb drive today.....
For your sake I hope they don't make you run create-a-tracks but on the plus side you're all good at learning tracks quickly

Haha I like the sound of that...a car that I get for free, duped, and then resold for profit

That was a brilliant drive Nick (Got that one saved on replay btw - now I just need to put a NICE collection of my replays up on YT sometime soon!). The draft kind of saved me though, as I kept making some stupid mistakes throughout most of the race (getting out of shape or snagging a wall) while you were putting in a very solid & accurate drive. Good fun that one was and thanks for forcing me to get quicker with the GT-R I still need to practice more with it though
Edit: I had a change of plans and probably won't be racing for another 1 1/2 hours.

Thanks Brock! Having the infamous T/A bearing down on you is a heart pounding experience. I put in 5 verrry fast laps, with only a few slight mistakes, the highest pace 5 laps I have strung together on such a venue, which is what I knew I would have to do to have a chance of holding you off after I got in a good lap to take pole in qualifying. You seemed to do one corner much quicker than me in the last two laps; the lowest speed part of the track in the left-hand hairpin at the top of the hill. But I seemed to get through the final complex well enough to get a good exit and break the draft on the straight for all but the final lap. Though .027 seconds later and it would have went the other way...

I was too excited and forgot to save the replay! <sigh>

 

[The Outlaw]

Scratch that Stig, Spec just informed me that he sent me a Tuned Z last night!

Thanks you guys!

 

[Forcednduckshn]

Edit: If nick is saying thats one of his best wins and I missed it...I WANT REPLAY

Lol I would like to see the replay too! This battle was different than others though. My most epic of battles, in terms of overtaking back and forth have been with Blindside no doubt, and some with SpecJSW, Conman, Ghoast, Glenn, Egghead and a few others...but this was a raw pace battle. Basically, it was me running for my life from one of the fastest guys in the U.S...and basically doing 5 time attack laps, while he himself was doing BLAZING laps to secure the victory by .027!!! Still by far the student though, by far the student-

Nick

 

[nickmp0wer]

I hope to god that ALL the tracks are new. This would level out the playing field A LOT. Not everyone has several hours a day to spend on a video game.

 

[Forcednduckshn]

Edit: That s2k is a brilliant little car, don't know why honda sucks at making anything else....

Haha I own one in real life, they are awesome and it's why I chose it! Perfectly balanced, fantastic suspension, does everything superbly, and very rewarding to drive fast. (Easy to drive very fast, but takes a lot of skill to extract that last few percent.)

Plus the designer of GT is an s2000 fanatic, so he went through a lot of trouble to make sure the s2000 was modeled apporpriately 👍

Now that I think about it, I should go out hunting for a video capture device today

Nice, I had no idea you owned a S2k

 

[Forcednduckshn]

Heck yeah, took 9th place and a trophy at the 2010 SCCA Solo National Championships with it!!! I love it, though I am selling it and campaigning at 1995 Miata R-Package in E-Stock this year with my brother (JoeyFast22). Should be a lot of fun!

A couple of pics of the S2000 from nationals (Visual counter-steer included ):

That looks like a blast Forced. Got me itching to get out on the track.

OK, as far as the cars, I picked up every Nissan in the Dealership.. except for the gt proto and black mask. I also have a GTR race car and the Nismo Z. I have the other cars listed as well, ferrari, alfa, etc. The one I am missing is the GT Academy Z. Can anyone send me that one. I can send you any of the others, or any car in general really. I will also happily send the GT Academy Z to the next person as well.

Thank you,

Rees

Forced, I'm jealous - GT5 doesn't have ANY of my cars (well...the 964 isn't EXACTLY mine)

964 at WGI, Long Configuration, T7 - "Toe" of the boot

e36 M3 (s50), Quincy, MA

e36 325i, NHMS, T6 - "The bowl"

 

[nickmp0wer]

nice to see a fellow bmw owner, I have a 91 318is http://tenhulzenautomotive.com/318is.htm

Yeah I need to update my site, a lot

I LOVE your 964 w/ the black wheels man. So badass.

They are just the 993 wheels, and they were in rough shape - so we decided, how about we grind down and spray paint these things flat black...

@ nickmpower - love to see the e30. The e30 M3 is the single biggest omission from the GT series...no, we don't need another version of the Silvia/Miata/Skyline/Supra/Impreza - just give me my classic M3's!!!

 

[SohnVonStig]

You all started it
My current project which I'm trying to get out on the track by mid-april
91 MR2 NA

$600

And of course my beautiful baby blue tc

PS not to worry, I traded the air-scoops on the mr2 for the stock pieces and a battery as soon as I got it

 

[CodeRedR51]

Here's mine....













Actually I'm car-less at the moment.

 

[SpecMiata-JSW]

It looks like we all have similar tastes in cars. Since we're showing off our cars and track rats I'll bite.

My first Miata - 2nd Gen Sport - Awesome car.

My second Miata - This thing was a blast too -

I sold my Black Miata (after I bought it back again) for this '95 M3.

And.....I had to take it on the track with the dishy wheels on it.

I wish I still owned them all. Now I have a truck and a Minivan, but at least the van is an Odyssey.

I hopped on earlier to purchase every Premium Nissan available, which took a while; there are lots of them. They all have oil changes, lots of crappy tires, and are prepped for the track tomorrow night. So, what ever you guys are driving I'll be ready. Back to work.

 

[blindsidefive0]

Is that Sebring? I always wanted to get down to some of the great tracks in Florida - a few of the guys in my time trial club actually live down there in the winter. 12 months of racing...
