Mid-Field Raceway Lap Times For 716 Cars!

[Thomas__633]

Its funny how fast auto-only cars are when you know its complete 🤬. Although the sound gets annoying... And they are terrible to drive...

Anyway I got similar results against the Fit but the old Demio was closer to new Demio around my testing. I will put a 5-speed on new Demio and see if it will still beat Old Demio and Fit.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Demio with 5-speed modification should reduce its lap time by about 2 seconds, I'm guessing.

Tested:

Mazda Demio Sport '03
Mazda Cosmo Sport (L10A) '67
Mazda Cosmo Sport (L10B) '68

Demio '03 is 2.3 seconds slower than the '10 and 1.8 seconds faster than the '99.

It ties with the Corvette '54 👍

L10B is 2 seconds quicker than L10A.

It ties with the Corvette '54 👍

Now there's a car that suffers from the auto transmission. Powerglide =

Tested:

1:32.835 - 376 - Toyota Vitz RS Turbo '02
1:37.284 - 342 - Toyota Vitz RS 1.5 '00

What a difference a turbo makes!

 

[Rotorist]

A great one indeed!

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Last two for today (probably...)

1:39.836 - 327 - Nissan Bluebird 1800SSS (910) '79
1:41.565 - 320 - Nissan Bluebird 1600 Deluxe (510) '69

The Bluebird '69 has the same exact lap time as Nissan Silvia (CSP311) '65!

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Okay I lied. Here's 3 more

1:36.918 - 344 - Renault R8 Gordini '66
1:49.886 - 309 - Toyota Sports 800 '65
2:22.995 - 216 - Mazda Carol 360 Deluxe '62

 

[Thomas__633]

lol...
also pretty funny that an american sports car ties with a car that is yellow... and tiny... and handles like a van...

Also, has the Yaris/Vitz used the same engines the whole way through its lifespan?

 

[MidFieldMaven]

The 1.5L 1NZ-FE has been in use through all three generations. Not sure about the smaller engines.

MILESTONE ACHIEVED - 250 CARS!

Lucky #250 is the Ford Ka '01

It's a tenth slower than Toyota Sports 800 '65

Tested:

Nissan Cube X '98
Daihatsu Move CX '95
Volkswagen New Beetle 2.0 '00
Daihatsu Midget II D Type '98

lel
try the RSi it is a truly terrible car. (might be the worst 400-450PP...) Wow great effort though.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

RSi might be terrible, but with a powerful 3.2L V6, it won't be slow.

 

[WhiterunGuard]

The RSi is the 4wd Beetle correct? I like it. Ugly but I like driving it, easy to swing it into a drift (powerslide, wtf ever.)

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Tested:

Volkswagen New Beetle RSi '00
Honda Accord Euro-R '00
Honda Accord Euro-R '02

It's 8 seconds faster than the regular Beetle 👍

Euro-R '02 is about half a second faster than '00.

1:29.517 - 397 - Honda Accord Euro-R '02
1:29.954 - 406 - Honda Accord Euro-R '00

'02
2.0L
215 hp / 8,000 rpm
152 ft-lb / 6,000 rpm
1,390 kg

'00
2.2L
215 hp / 7,000 rpm
165 ft-lb / 6,500 rpm
1,330 kg

Interesting that the '02 is faster considering it has less torque and more weight. It has a "more rigid body and better suspension" according to Car Info, as well as a 6 speed transmission.

Noticed the Acura CL Type-S '03 is less than 2 tenths quicker than the Euro-R '02.

Mazda Atenza vs. Mazda Atenza!

1:32.734 - 375 - Mazda Atenza Sport 25Z '07
1:32.772 - 382 - Mazda Atenza Sports 23Z '03



'03
2.3L
175 hp / 6,500 rpm
158 ft-lb / 4,000 rpm
1,390 kg

'07
2.5L
168 hp / 6,000 rpm
167 ft-lb / 4,000 rpm
1,470 kg

The newer car has 7 fewer horses, 9 more ft-lbs of torque, and weighs 80 kg more, yet manages to tie the older car.



Also tested:

Nissan March G# '99
Nissan March 12c 5door '03

 

[88GTA]

I always drive the 25Z '07 because it is the closest car in GT5/6 to my real car a Suzuki Kizashi. Similar dimensions and power to weight. My car has better suspension though.

It is a fun car and being premium makes it look good.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Oh crap I recorded the outside of the car and not the cockpit, and I deleted my replay! I guess I have to beat my time, which might take a really long time...

 

[Thomas__633]

I was almost right... the RSi was faster than the Taurus SHO by about .300. I think that the Mazdaspeed though is a bag of junk, although the standard Mazda 6 is cool.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

The Mazdaspeed Atenza tried to steal some thunder from the Evo and STi, and failed miserably. It's got serious sleeper capabilities though. On first glance, it really looks like a normal Mazda 6.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Tested:

Mini Cooper '02
Toyota Voltz S '02
Audi A2 1.4 '02

We have another exact tie!

1:36.918 - 343 - Mini Cooper '02
1:36.918 - 344 - Renault R8 Gordini '66

 

[Thomas__633]

Try the Pontiac Vibe, I will test it as well...

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Tested:

Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1800GSR IC Turbo '83
Suzuki Swift Sport '07
Pontiac Vibe GT '03

The Vibe is 2 tenths quicker than the Mazda Atenza Sports 23Z '03.

 

[Thomas__633]

its funny how many good small cars you can find if you look hard. I always have liked the small cars...
I forgot to test the Vibe.

[88GTA]

No Kharmann Ghia? Wasn't that made by VW?

 

[MidFieldMaven]

I'll do that next time I get on. Then the '49 Beetle and I think that'll do it for VW.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Tested:

Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe (Type-1) '68
Volkswagen Beetle 1100 Standard (Type-11) '49
Opel Tigra 1.6i '99

The Beetle '49 is 8 seconds slower than the Beetle '66.

Karmann Ghia is 11 seconds faster than the Beetle '66.

 

[Rotorist]

Karmann is the most beautiful VW ever by faaaaaar!
