SAPPH Honda NSX Type R 02
Sector Time: 29.666
Impressions: This car accelerates very well, and can manage the power just as gracefully. The car grips and rotates excellently, as the NSX naturally does; hugging the road and showing no signs of oversteer or understeer. The car is responsive to every input (or rather, command.) and responds with grace and precision. The car stops well. The only fault I could find was inside wheelspin, which felt prevalent in every corner. Besides that, the car is top notch.
Pros:
-Excellent Grip
-Excellent Rotation
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent Transmission
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-Average LSD
Score: 99

DCybertron Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro 09
Sector Time: 29.117
Impressions: This car has excellent grip and acceleration, but lacks some top speed from its short gears. Theres a bit of mild understeer here and there, but nothing uncontrollable. The car is very stable and brakes well. The engine is powerful and responsive. The car surprisingly puts all of its power down very well. Its a great car, even for a beginner.
Pros:
-Excellent Grip
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent LSD
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-Mild Understeer
-Average Transmission
Score: 98

krenkme BMW M3 Coupe 07
Sector Time: 29.867
Impressions: The car has excellent rotation off-throttle, a bit too much, but understeers mildly when on it. The first thing I noticed was how well the car braked, and a bit of inside wheelspin, but not as much as the NSX had. The car gripped the road pretty well, while making excellent use of its suspension. The car sounded like a fart can ricer, but that didnt stop it from being fast.
Pros:
-Excellent Grip
-Excellent Off-Throttle Rotation
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent Transmission
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-Mild On-Throttle Understeer
-Average LSD
Score: 98

robrabbitman Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR P.P. 07
Sector Time: 30.167
Impressions: After driving all of the other cars, Ive decided that I liked my Evo a lot more than I had previously thought. It felt so great and familiar to me. The car accelerated well, but not lightning fast, and it hugged the road while rotating excellently around corners and providing supercar levels of grip. It brakes nicely and overall works well with my driving style.
Pros:
-Excellent Grip
-Excellent Rotation
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent Transmission
-Excellent LSD
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-None
Score: N/A

BobbyBRAKEaNek Chevrolet Camaro SS 10
Sector Time: 29.266
Impressions: The car stopped well from corner one! The car makes great use of its transmission, but doesnt put its power down that well. The car has some inside wheelspin (this is becoming a trend.) in 2nd-4th gear corners, and lacks a lot of stability coming out of slower corners. It also has some mild understeer when not on-throttle. It is powerful and torquey, but too powerful for itself to control.
Pros:
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent Transmission
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-Average Grip
-Mild Understeer
-Average LSD
Score: 96

Slender_Man Nissan GT-R M・spec Nür (R34) 02
Sector Time: 29.634
Impressions: Wow, this car is excellent in every way. Its fast, its responsive, its predictable, and it manages itself quite nicely. The acceleration is blistering provided you shift at 7k until ~160 mph when it really flops on its face. The car hugs the road while providing lots of information on whats going on. The brakes are excellent, especially for a Skyline. Top notch tune from a top notch racer.
Pros:
-Excellent Grip
-Excellent Rotation
-Excellent Engine
-Good Transmission
-Excellent LSD
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-Low Top Speed
Score: 100

SolidSnake7735 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C6) 06
Sector Time: 29.267
Impressions: This car has Veyron killing acceleration. Its incredibly fast... wait, do I have milk bottle tops as brakes? No, Im just going too fast and braking too late. To be honest, this car is the epitome of why I didnt enter a Corvette in TMAX. Theres a lot of outside wheelspin, leading to a loss of stability in really any corner. The car has too much power and it cant put it all down, and to top it off, it understeers mildly. Its an average car; thats all I really have to comment.
Pros:
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent Transmission
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-Average Grip
-Average Rotation
-Average LSD
Score: 95
--------------------------------------------------
fbccars925 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR 08
Sector Time: 29.066
Impressions: Just looking at the specs, Im afraid of this car. Can somebody say tyre-shredder? I was pleasantly surprised, as this car was not quite the handful I thought it would be. The car felt excellent in some corners and kind of lazy in others, with average rotation overall. And hell, its fast! I didnt even get to touch 6th, nor would I have dared! It has quite a bit of wheelspin in slower corners because of its massive torque. This car is what a Viper should be, a prowling snake that hunts smaller prey and will bite you if you dare agitate it.
Pros:
-Good Grip
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent Transmission
-Excellent LSD
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-Moderate Exit Wheelspin
-Average Rotation
Score: 96

Hei Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Hemi Quad Cab 04
Sector Time: 30.117
Impressions: Oh my... a Yank Tank on the touge! But seriously, this truck is excellent for being a giant red behemoth! It only understeers a bit, but feels excellent for being such a big and heavy car. The only thing that was bad about this truck was that it accelerated so slowly... it was on par with most of my 500PP cars, which says a lot. Other than that, this car was great!
Pros:
-Excellent Grip
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent LSD
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-Mild Understeer
-Poor Acceleration
Score: 98

Onboy123 Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STI spec C 04
Sector Time: 29.450
Impressions: Ahh... another Impreza from Onboy. I dont have anything to say besides utter perfection. This car just felt like a faster (and winged) version of his T300 car with a little more rotation in the mix. Its such an excellent car. Let the results speak for themselves.
Pros:
-Excellent Grip
-Excellent Rotation
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent Transmission
-Excellent LSD
-Excellent Suspension
-Excellent Brakes
Cons:
-None
Score: 100

TanJaM92 Shelby Series One Super Charged 03
Sector Time: 29.583
Impressions: This car is really nice to drive
it accelerates well and hugs the road excellently. I really like everything about this car except the inside wheelspin and oversteer during braking. I just dislike braking oversteer in general because it can get a touch out of hand and cause unwanted breaks of traction.
Pros:
-Excellent Grip
-Excellent Rotation
-Excellent Engine
-Excellent Transmission
-Excellent Suspension
Cons:
-Average LSD
-Oversteer During Braking
Score: 98
These results were really delayed.. but here they are! I can't wait for next season. With the inclusion of drivetrain classes and two new power classes, the season is bound to be filled with exciting new cars. See you all next time!
