I put this together in Excel and this is how it looks when I copy and paste it. I've been going nuts with this lately, sorry for not posting. I have the Honda HSV I will give it a try today.

The first Miata on the list is a 2007 NC which placed 121st of the 135 cars I've tested. The second Miata on the list came in a surprising 122nd, a 2004 US-spec MX-5 Miata with slightly better power-to-weight ratio. The capable front-drive 2002 Mazda Protege placed 126th.

02:42.7 2007 Mazda Miata 167 6500 142 5000 2425 14.5 17.1
02:42.9 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata 1800 RS (NB) 167 8000 130 5000 2381 14.3 18.3
02:43.4 2002 Mazda Protégé 170 7000 137 5000 2579 15.2 18.8

I will do more Miatas like the '89 and maybe a 1.8 NA as well because I own one in real life. Here's how the stack of S2000's compares. The NC is 6 seconds slower than the 2006 S2000 and 4 seconds slower than a 2003 BMW Z4. Not bad when you compare the specs.

02:10.0 2004 Amuse S2000 GT1 532 8000 364 6500 2601 4.9 7.1
02:12.2 2000 Spoon S2000 Race Car 326 11000 168 9500 2315 7.1 13.8
02:24.6 2004 Amuse S2000 R1 271 8000 183 6500 2469 9.1 13.5
02:26.4 2000 Spoon S2000 284 9000 170 8000 2425 8.5 14.3
02:30.0 2004 Amuse S2000 Street Version 262 8000 176 6500 2623 10.0 14.9
02:34.1 2000 Mugen S2000 261 8200 168 7700 2734 10.5 16.3
02:35.0 1999 Honda S2000 251 8000 166 7500 2734 10.9 16.5
02:36.7 2006 Honda S2000 240 8000 166 6500 2756 11.5 16.6

The fastest RX-7 fits between the 2004 Amuse S2000 R1 and the Spoon S2000.

02:19.6 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6) 651 6500 616 4000 3325 5.1 5.4

02:28.2 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 340 5500 352 4500 3298 9.7 9.4
02:28.2 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C4) 390 6000 385 5000 3527 9.0 9.2
02:42.6 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe (C2) 255 4500 359 3000 3020 11.8 8.4

^ Yes I still have to do the '69 C3 but something tells me I know it will run somewhere between a 2:28.2 and a 2:42.6 Also it's amazing how useless the ZR-1 is when it's not on a track full of straights like the Nurburgring. The Z06 does it better.

There are some very interesting cross-manufacturer comparisons to be made but I'll save those for another time.

I think a premium Audi rs6 would do 2:23

I just did the '08 Audi RS6 Avant and got 2:20.9 👍 5 seconds quicker than the '02 standard RS6 sedan.

That is one extremely fast wagon. Understeer like hell though, but 489 lb-ft of torque at just 1500rpm is incredible.

Get a new ps3 when you can man. I'd be so lost without mine lol :(

I did but I have to wait until x mas to get it.
 
I have now accomplished 150 cars. At 3 laps minimum per car, I've done over 450 laps on Suzuka Circuit lol. I might be a little nuts, but I've been having so much fun doing this. Some cars I'd never expect to be quick were actually faster than a lot of cars that I thought WOULD be quick! It's getting pretty hard now to find cars I actually want to do. I might do this again with Tsukuba, but probably not. This took up a lot of time and I'm about to be going back to school in the spring so I just want to finish this up.

I just did a 2:34.783 in the 1997 Toyota MR2 GT-S. For some reason I'm 10 HP and 8 ft-lbs of torque short of what you are at though. Maybe it needs an oil change. I can go knock another second off that, but I need my wheel for that.

I'm going to try the M3 next.
 
I'll try to beat that when I get another chance. I remember the MR2 being a bit annoying to keep straight. MR's are very tricky with the controller.

I liked it. The lift-off oversteer was very progressive and helped with hitting the apexs well once I got used to it. The annoying thing is not being able to get the power down without spinning the rears a bit. My controller isn't sensitive enough to manage the throttle how I need to.
 
Yeah I use R2 for gas, L2 for brake, X for upshift, square for downshift. Wish I still had my G27 Obutto setup but I needed money. Maybe when GT6 comes out I'll buy the next-gen wheel. But to get fast times with the wheel I had to use the paddles. The manual shifter wastes too much time in the game and the 1-2 shift with the G27 put me in neutral almost every time.
 
Alright finally got back to it after a whole week without GT5.

What's new? These two:

02:30.7 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray L46 350 (C3) 364 5500 411 3500 3285 9.0 8.0

02:46.8 1989 Mazda Eunos Roadster (NA Special Package) 120 6500 103 5500 2072 17.3 20.1

The '89 Miata is only 4 seconds slower than the '07. Not bad.

I prefer the standard C3 Corvette because it's a hardtop and has better handling than the flimsy convertible.

And another one bites the dust.

Time Car HP RPM Ft-lb RPM Lbs Lbs/HP Lbs/Ft-lb

02:25.6 2002 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 492 5900 542 2500 4211 8.6 7.8

Fast as hell, hard to get around turns because of the 4211 lb curb weight. Would love to own one if I lived on the Autobahn.

Oh by the way I don't think I mentioned when I write my lap times I don't round the tenths digit, I just take the first digit of that set of three numbers after the decimal. For example just now I got:

02:34.4 2005 Mazdaspeed6 (Atenza) 281 5500 293 3000 3307 11.8 11.3

The 4 means 4xx

So I liked this car, a lot. Somehow I really connected with it. I really like Mazda's style, I suppose because I own a Miata. This Mazdaspeed6 is faster than a 99 Honda S2000 and 98 Audi S4 and 07 Mazda RX8 Type S and 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT etc lol around Suzuka some of these results are crazy to me lol

Finally got a new ps3.i just set it up and now it need to be updated and my old ps3's data need to be transfered
 
Good to hear man! Early Xmas present? lol I'm so bored with drifting, nothing in this game excites me anymore except testing myself with lap times.

Just did the '62 Lotus Elan for kicks. It's only 5 seconds slower than the '89 Mazda Miata. That's not bad for a car almost 30 years older. Lighter than the Miata by 600 lbs and has a 4 speed manual transmission. Elan carries 13 lbs per hp, while the Miata carries 17...

02:52.0 1962 Lotus Elan S1 108 5500 112 4000 1409 13.0 12.6

The '83 Nissan 300ZX is almost 9 seconds faster than the '78 Nissan 280Z. Dat Boost.

02:39.4 1983 Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX (Z31) 235 5200 258 3600 3042 12.9 11.8
02:44.6 1971 Nissan 240ZG (HS30) 155 5500 159 5000 2227 14.4 14.0

The 240Z beats the 280Z because it weighs almost 500 lbs less! 14 lbs per horsepower vs. 18.

Did a '99 Honda NSX Type S Zero, which is my favorite non-Type R version of all NSX's. Funny how they're all within about 6 seconds of each other from the king 2002 Type R to the lowliest original 1990 base NSX.

02:23.9 2002 Honda NSX Type R 296 7100 241 5500 2800 9.5 11.6

02:30.1 1990 Honda NSX 282 7000 222 5000 2976 10.6 13.4

you got 2:04.7 in the Amuse GT1 Turbo, I got 2:04.871 after 3 laps. It is an amazing machine. Like a Miata on steroids. 5 seconds faster than the Standard Amuse S2000 GT1. 132 lbs lighter and 100 more horsepower. 4 lbs per HP vs. 5 lbs per HP.

02:04.8 Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo 630 8000 428 4500 2469 3.9 5.8
02:10.0 2004 Amuse S2000 GT1 532 8000 364 6500 2601 4.9 7.1

Sounds like a rocketship when you get over 100mph. Did not know the Tesla was built on an Elise chassis at Lotus UK.

2:30.1 matches the 1990 Honda NSX and a tenth slower than a 2000 Camaro SS.

Interesting match-up here. I dare you to try and beat my time in the Galant VR-4 :)

Tried a Legacy, I think this one is the most high-performance version, the '03 Legacy B4 2.0GT Spec.B with stiff Bilstein shocks and 18" wheels.

02:31.3 2003 Subaru Legacy B4 2.0GT Spec.B 291 6500 268 2500 3153 10.8 11.8

That ties with the 2003 Ford Focus RS. Pretty fun car to drive, handles predictably well.

How did you beat my RX8 by 6.5 seconds? How much HP and ft-lbs does yours have? I just watched my replay of mine and I don't think I can get 6.5 seconds off of it but now I want to try lol dinner time though, maybe later.

No spin-outs but 2 of the corners I didn't do the best I could have, slowed down a little more than I should have. It would really help to have a wheel because that car was twitchy in the corners. I'll get to it tomorrow.

If you want to get and got a wheel,Your lap times will drop if you get used to it.

I beat the 2 minute mark man.

01:59.6 2000 Dodge Viper GTS-R Team Oreca Race Car #91 617 6500 545 3500 2535 4.1 4.7

It's in the Online Dealership for 1 million credits.
 
I thought the handling was pretty neutral. I loved not having to deal with any oversteer. It puts the power down everywhere without slipping.

Did the '01 Honda NSX to see how it stacks up with the rest of the NSX's. It's about 2 seconds slower than the new Type R and a tenth faster than the old Type R. The new Type R should really be faster than that, maybe you can do better with it?

02:23.9 2002 Honda NSX Type R 296 7100 241 5500 2800 9.5 11.6
02:25.7 2001 Honda NSX 289 7100 235 5500 2954 10.2 12.6
02:25.8 1992 Honda NSX Type R 294 7000 234 5500 2712 9.2 11.6
02:27.0 1999 Honda NSX Type S Zero 294 7100 238 5500 2800 9.5 11.8
02:30.1 1990 Honda NSX 282 7000 222 5000 2976 10.6 13.4

02:25.8 2001 Mazda RX-7 Type R Bathurst R (FD) 301 6500 253 4500 2778 9.2 11.0
02:27.3 2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A 298 6500 250 4500 2800 9.4 11.2
02:30.4 1991 Mazda RX-7 Type R (FD, J) 261 6500 224 5000 2778 10.6 12.4
02:39.2 1990 Mazda Savanna RX-7 Infini III 214 6500 208 4000 2712 12.7 13.0

The '91 RX-7 ties with the 2000 Spoon Civic Type R and is 3 tenths slower than the Tesla Roadster.

The Bathurst is just as fast as the old type r nsx
 
True haha that's crazy, and they both have 9.2 pounds per horsepower.

And the 91 RX-7 is 3 tenths slower than the 90 NSX.

Did the last of the GT-Fours, the Toyota Caldina.

02:35.0 2002 Toyota Caldina GT-Four 267 6000 249 4500 3263 12.2 13.1
02:37.8 1998 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST205) 262 6000 234 4000 3064 11.7 13.1

Not sure how the heck it's almost 3 seconds faster than the Celica but hey, that's pretty awesome. Must be the fact that it's 4 years newer and built better.

Updated first post to be current. 168 cars done.

Sorry, 169 cars lol

02:42.1 1993 Mazda Lantis Coupe 2000 Type R 180 7500 137 4500 2646 14.7 19.3

This ties with 4 other cars.

02:42.1 1997 Honda Civic Type R 180 8000 119 7500 2315 12.9 19.5
02:42.1 1990 Honda CRX SiR 163 7500 116 7000 2174 13.3 18.7
02:42.1 1999 Hyundai Tiburon Turbulence 158 6100 146 5000 2844 18.0 19.5
02:42.1 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT 181 6000 189 4500 2954 16.3 15.6

Japan really loves to put Type R into everything...

Somehow the M3 CSL is faster than the GTR, but not even by a full second. This can't be right. I'll have to try again with the GTR. It has to be at least faster than the CSL because check out the numbers:

02:21.2 2003 BMW M3 CSL 370 8000 286 5000 3053 8.3 10.7
02:22.0 2003 BMW M3 GTR 391 7000 300 4500 2976 7.6 9.9

Though the GTR has a 4.0L V8 whereas the CSL has a 6 cylinder. Maybe that helps the CSL in the corners because the front is lighter.
