I could give you MY answer, but I don't want to offend anyone, or get bannedHow come nobody wants me to test any slow cars? Those I actually want to drive lol the Audi R8 LMP is going to be another ice-skating affair, but I will oblige.

Which car did you short-shift 1000 RPM below redline? The 120d or the 120i? Or both?1:55.901 - 388 - BMW 120d '04
1:56.838 - 368 - BMW 120i '04
The diesel has 12 more hp, 104 more ft-lbs, but weighs 80 kg more. After a couple laps shifting at redline, I found it best to shift about 1,000 rpm short of that, to stay in boost. Just another reason why manual is better/faster than automatic.
Edit:
Once I finish testing every car, I might go back to all the times that ended on a .0 and get them down to at least a .9 or better.
Ahh, for some reason I thought the 120i was a 4-cylinder turbo. Thanks for the clarification.The 120d has a turbo-diesel engine with a low redline of around 5000-6000 if I remember right. It stops accelerating fast 1,000-1,500 rpm before redline. My ghost was shifting at redline, and I was shifting early and pulled ahead a lot so that's how I knew to short-shift for the best lap time.
The 120i is naturally aspirated.
Update!
1:50.107 - 435 - Ford Focus RS '02
Wow. That Ford Focus RS is in pretty good company. I just checked out the list to see what else set a similar lap time. That FocuS RS is less than three-tenths of a second behind the 1996 Corvette Grand Sport!
