1:18 in the Superautobacs MR2! Note: Chase cam view for identification purposes only

Also, the Wedssport Celica is barely faster. Only a tenth or two.

Tested:

1:18.803 - 509 - Toyota WedsSport Celica '03
1:18.988 - 501 - Toyota Superautobacs Apex MR-S '00
1:24.931 - 419 - Hyundai HCD-6 '01

Rare to see that Hyundai online, but it's a pretty fun car to drive.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Tested:

1:19.551 - 512 - Mine's Lancer Evolution VI '00
1:23.246 - 464 - Lexus IS 200 GT-1 '04

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Tested:

1:20.404 - 483 - Oullim Motors Spirra Prototype '04
1:29.914 - 388 - Renault R5 Turbo '80

I forgot how great the Renault feels to drive. I'm going to customize it now.

Fully tuned it has a maximum of 344 hp, 261 ft-lbs, and 848 kg with 508 pp. Detuned to 500 pp and given a track like Tsukuba or maybe Suzuka East, it might have a good shot of beating much more powerful cars.

Tested:

1:16.806 - 580 - Aston Martin One-77 '11
1:17.587 - 576 - Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren '09

Sorry for the slow updates. There aren't many cars left that I want to test

1:18.749 - 507 - Subaru Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza '08

@SuzukaStar
I hope you have Diablos there

I'll test the Diablo tomorrow. Must have missed that one somehow.

There aren't many cars left that I want to test

I wonder if you would be interested in testing any of the following cars. I have been testing these for possible future Tuned VS Super Cars events

Ford GT '06
HPA Motorsports FT565 twin turbo '07
AEM S2000 *
Blitz Dunlop ER34 SKYLINE '07 *
HKS CT230R '08
Mine's BNR34 Skyline Base '06
Nissan GT-R SpecV '09
Nissan GT-R Black edition

(* it's a drift tune so careful throttle or TCS=1 needed)

Thanks 👍

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Not sure if I'll do the Ford GT '06 because I already did the '05 and it's probably going to be about the same.

My method:

1) Purchase car from dealership
2) Equip Comfort Softs if not already equipped
3) Go to Test Drive in the Garage
4) ABS1, Grip Low, Manual Transmission

Sorry but I think this is the unrealistic one. Set Grip REAL instead of Low, IIRC. REAL is the realistic one, the one that makes you spin depending on how you touch the kerbs, or makes you slip a lot when on the grass, stuff like that. If you set it to low, all of those effects seem fake.

But if you rarely/never touch the grass or curbs, it doesn't have much of an effect on anything. You shouldn't be touching the grass anyway. Watch some of my replays, you'll see in 99% of them I don't touch grass.

But still you toch kerbs, because you usually have to if you try run on the limit and try to use all the width of the track.

 

[Cu3e]

I do my testing same way, except TCS/ABS =0 and I do the oil change...

I understand using the Grip Low setting offline. I always just forget to change it to Real. So it is too much hassle and causes issues when I have to think if I used it or not. Online I use Real Grip.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Run a best lap with Grip Low and again with Grip Real and let me know how much touching the curbs affects the lap time. Hit the curb wrong with Grip Low and it can still screw you up, especially the raised curb on the outside of Turn 1. This is just the way I choose to do it. It's hassle enough having to turn off TCS with every car. If there was a way to set TCS to 0 and Grip to Real permanently, I'd be all for it. Let's hope GT7 fixes this issue.

Tested:

1:16.060 - 556 - Lamborghini Diablo GT '00

I don't have the time or patience to fight this car for a 1:15 with a DS3. High-powered MR cars are the devil. It really was a great thing that Lamborghini made the switch to 4WD.

 

[Neddo]

@SuzukaStar Now try Diablo GT2 and Oldsmobile Toronato too lol
Glad that Diablo GT is faster than Nismo. Raw power>Electronics

 

[Thematic]

@SuzukaStar Now try Diablo GT2

I enjoyed this one at Sierra (offline single car), it just all comes together (stock with "CS"), like the game is putting its best foot forward.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Is the GT2 easier to drive than the GT? I noticed it's a little heavier, and has a slightly smaller engine.

I think so, though the only time I found the GT difficult was when I got the game and put racing tyres on.
The downforce certainly helps.

Shakes a bit in the last corner of MFR, not as much as it does on Sierra.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Tested:

1:17.371 - 564 - Lamborghini Diablo GT2 '98

It's 1.3 seconds slower than the street-legal Diablo, despite having 59 more horses. Torque stays the same, but weight is up by 40 kg's.

Diablo GT reached 169 mph on the front straight while the GT2 only saw 160 mph.

 

[NixxxoN]

Gt2 is race car. Gt is road car i think? Or maybe the other way round. Both are so tailhappy.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Yea GT2 is the racecar, which is weird that it would be over a second slower than the road car.

 

[Neddo]

I think that GT 2 is RWD

 

[Thematic]

I think that GT 2 is RWD

Indeed, no 4WD Diablos in GT yet.

 

[Neddo]

I have an idea. Maybe MGF and TF 160 could be tested. Edit lol already tested

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Only the Diablo VT (1993-1998) had 4WD.

I believe that when grip is set to low then the rubbered in line is not as grippy also compared to real grip, not only kerbs and grass. Although if every car is ran with the same room settings then it wont affect anything.

 

[ToyGTone]

Can you do a LMP/Group C test of TS020, BMW V12 LMR and nissan R390 GT1?

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Tested:

1:21.715 - 454 - Honda NSX Type S '01
1:22.529 - 454 - Honda NSX Type S Zero '99

The 2nd generation with flush headlights is so much better in the corners. I'll always love the looks of the first generation front end, but if I had to choose one to own, it would be the '01+
