Since you guys don't believe me, I switched to the M-Spec and headed to Twin Motegi East with all sports tires at hand. Softs in front and mediums in rear. Not much tuning. Oil change, displacement increase, racing exhaust, sports intercooler, nothing else=499hp and 479lb-ft.
I managed nothing better than the other T1's and T2's but beat my final time.
T1 = 29.576. T2 = 56.659
Edit: Just had a look at the leaderboard and that puts me in 2nd or 3rd.
Oh well... I can't verify with no AR Max. So, whatever....

Standard ... couple of questions:
1) If you can't verify ... and clearly you're a damned good driver ... why race?
2) If you're such a good driver - and I'm certainly not arguing that point - why are you in D3? It may mean nothing to you, but the problem with D3 is that we tend to get plagued by guys who are much better than us, but couldn't be bothered putting any time in on the qualifier. The net result is that essentially the true D3ers don't have a chance to take a podium position or win a race.
This may not mean anything to you and most other people out there, but I'm getting a little tired with racing against incredibly fast guys (like you), who clearly don't belong in this division.
Did you qualify in D3 simply so you could rack up some easy wins?

No. I didn't take any track time or play with the car. I probably did 15 laps. I was a few thousandths off D2 and didn't try to better myself. Since then, I have weened myself off Aids. Why race? So I can see how I compare. Sorry....

I have no hard data that suggests either gearing method to be faster/slower than the other, but I feel faster with the auto gearing at 10 now that I've run it a few laps. That said, I just improved upon my best again, so I thank you for posting your settings -- they have helped me many times this week.
T1: 29.824 (I don't remember exactly, but it was somewhere around there)
T2: 57.005
Shaved a little at the line again and feel pretty confident about the lap. Definitely see where there's more time in it, but I don't know if I'll try to improve upon it in the final hours or not.

We all know you were making up them T times thus cheating

That's very honorable of you - but I still can't get over the fact that in previous weeks you gave me the impression of being near the bottom of D3...now suddenly you are going for the top spot? Forget about the qualifier, I distinctly remember you struggling a lot. Just check your posts in Weeks 3,4, and 5.
I don't mean to be a jerk but no one goes from the bottom to the top.

I prefer ground huggers with a stiff handling. Of course the car needs a lot of power to put all that handling to good use. Maybe a looser set-up would've been better for this week?
*misses his Skyline V-Spec[R](bought the [R] mod) from GT2
* That car would've been great for this weeks race. If only I could set some cars up like I did that one. I put about 100 hours into tuning that thing just right so it could compete in almost any race and win.Edit: haha forgot to post my T-times:
T-1: 31.xxx
T-2: 59.xxx
Sorry can't give you the exact times
. I'm finishing up the Euro league right now. Mwahaha I'm going to win back 2% of what I put into my Zonda! 👎

Well, you're in for a funny story. Somewhere in the middle of altering settings, trying to get 1HP, I gave myself about 20 instead by throwing on a Sports exhaust system. Got really excited when I kept blowing my time away, all the while verifying replays that read 496HP when I started them up. Thought nothing of it, obviously. Just checked my T1 corners for anything suspicious and left it at that. So, wipe out any 56.xxx sectors I've run up to this point.
But, herein lies the twist. I got an awesome ghost to run with from that extra HP, so now if I just try to keep up with it, I'm still running a little better than my current leaderboard sectors. Back to a 57.044 @ T2 for me. You've got more of a shot than you think!
Stupified,

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I read the following post a while back and went with it. I had already submitted my time when I read some posts tonight that made me question my setup. According to the rules, hp is determined by settings graph. I have well under 500hp in replay and 505hp in graph. I don't mind withdrawing my time, just need a clarification.
Is hp checked in replays, or is it strctly "honor system"?

DRIVEN -USA-HP ratings - prob. want to think about what you will see in the replay (at the start) s2/s2 hp500 or less etc. i don't think it will show up anywhere else in the replays of what you are actually using (will have to look closely though)

Jump ... click on the graph and another HP will be displayed in the top left: use this. Odds on, if your replay says 500 ... you're good to go.
KLR ... you got it man ... couldn't get close to you, but I did take a good chunk off my final time, so I'm happy. Submitting now, because, frankly, I've had enough of this combo

jumpputtGraph says 505Looks like I'm SOL.
Is that after you hit *START* in tuning and the big graph comes up? That number in the top left corner of graph is the number we are going by. Also, as someone else mentioned, when I go to Home and view the car, 500 is listed on the bottom left for HP.
From 75% - 90% of the testing I have done this week, I know that if your at 507HP on that little graph in the upper right corner of the tuning page, when you look at the big graph, it will be 500 on the dot.
Also the reason the HP is lower on replay, 👍 to The Wizard for his work on this, is that is the HP that the car "WILL" degrade to after 8500 miles.
Hope that helps some.
