I coulda swore i raced this monster a few times and track tested it, too but i can't find any notes on it.

you take notes for the car you tested? Awesome đź‘Ť. I don't :P.


BMW 740i - 75/100
At stock, this car roll so much, easily tail slide and agile. Fully tuned, this car has oversteer characteristic, feels powerless, has bouncing rear, and rough acceleration. Drifting this car is easy if you can reduce rear bouncing. And it is fun to make this car do 360 degree drift :D, easier than fully tuned S2000 :confused:.

Next car: MR2 GTS '98

Oh yeah. I have a 2-sided sheet that I premade in Pagemaker and fill out tons of info on each car I test. That's why it takes me ages to get simple racing done sometimes and it's also why (after 2 years) I've only driven maybe 1/3 of the cars. :embarrassed:

Also, sometimes I'll write down my racing experiences by hand. This comes in handy months later when I want to read about how that car behaves and what to watch for. I remember that the BMW 740 is mega-heavy and doesn't get enough power but that's about it.

That's really handy đź‘Ť. The only note I take is like:
- low front high rear is good for speed in GT2, opposite in GT4
- damper 10 is soft
- use power curve in GT2, tourqe curve in GT4
- etc ..
 
Jaguar XJR 15: 80/100

A really nice car, fast and agile. We don't feel the weight in this car. Wheel spin exist but not a problem. It don't spin easily. Not like what Jeremy Clarkson say on real car test "There you are, I spun Jaguar XJR-15".

Next car: Ford Mercury Cougar '99
 
6.5/10
I like the MG in this class better. The Cougar is too overlooked too. I can use it, just It wouldn't be my first choice.

Next Car: R390 GT1 Road Car '97
 
Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car '97: 96/100

In the words of Jeremy Clarkson: POWAH!!!!
This car is fast, turns on a dime, and looks wierd. Kind of like a Toyota GT-One Road Car made by Nissan.
 
Impreza STi
Next Car: Daihatsu Storia X2
Click to expand...

I think you mean the X4...there is no X2?

You can get buy one in any color you like, as long as it's white. For it's engine size it has good power to start with, but this is assuming you're keeping those revs above 5,000. Anything below this is pretty tepid.

I drove it completely stock around Trail Mountain and was shocked at how grippy the tires & suspension are. In fact, I kept waiting for the understeer to show up. Instead, I found I really had to push it before it plowed, and by then I was going so fast my braking distances were useless. What I'm trying to say is this car starts off as a narrow paintbrush on a large piece of canvas...it gives you plenty to work with from the getgo. An easy car for anyone to drive.

On the aftermarket, the power upgrades seem tame since you can only push the Storia just under 200 hp, but since it only weighs 1,851 pounds at the most, this car can go pretty far in the game if you prep it up nicely. And the racing kit is available, which helps alot with rallies. I especially like the white & black scheme :)

On the downside: you can't win them all in a Storia X4 since power is limited. The stock 5th gear is a bit tall. The grippiness is a bit extreme...I'd personally tune some of it out. And white....I'd buy another color if I could. :embarrassed:

My vote: 85/100.

Next car flips Pupik's list and plunks down finger

'92 Toyota Mark II Tourer V

Ummmm there is a X2! I thought the tourer was a bit heavy and sort of pushy in the corners so I fixed it! I give it a (((80/100)))

What about the D-Rights

Sylvia and Miata?

Ummmm there is a X2!

Really? Where is it? Pupik's list doesn't list an X2, nor have I seen it in used or new car lot. The Storia Rally Car? is that what you're talking about?

There is a X2 either in the use car lot or Hidden, But it's there! I have it on my memory card but it's been Hybrided! It's a Two wheel drive car where the others are 4wheel, The body is the same as the four wheel drive and the body mod is also the same! Do you have a Dexdrive I can send it to you?

Silvia and Miata both get 80/100

now how 'bout them 95 Celica GT-Fours?
Click to expand...

I went and bought a light green metallic. I love the color even though it's gay (not that there's anything wrong with that ;)

$17,166 from used car lot. Quoted at 251 hp. Sounds like a good deal to me. I took it to Tahiti for some track tests (seemed an appropriate place to be, what with that fruity color and all). Now I'm here. Bags unpacked. Coconut Maitai in hand. \\

Pleasantly surprised by the dyno results...it's actually got 253 hp, and the torque band from 3,000 to 6,000 rpm is as flat as a mesa. :) Decent redline (6,500)...should provide a great launch with the 4 wheel drive and all.

But not as good as I'd hoped. 0 to 60 mph in 6.468 seconds is a lot slower than many stock Lancers and WRXs or 2wd Supras can crank out, but 2nd gear gets you all the way to 61, so that's a bonus.

From there on up it gets worse. The Celica GT-Four slowly builds up steam in the first corner and up the hill, but this is mostly due to tall gearing. From here, you gotta brake. Yup, brake response is okay if kept well-timed and not too heavy. I tried a drift into the chapel corner and had to fight a little to get the car lined up correctly out of the corner.

The handling? Eeesh. The front-end is grippy but the actual steering feels unprecise. The car wallowed around a bit and leans A LOT. I didn't lose much speed in the corners, but this was due to last-minute countersteers and a bit of guessing!

So if you're a newb, don't buy this car, it's a tad more advanced. If you're more experienced, you'll need a suspension right off the bat ($3,000 for sports or $8,000 for semi-racing) ..and a shorter transmission ($6,000) . And let's remove some weight ($32,500 w/o race kit). And full brake upgrades ($16,000). The tires are okay if the car is kept with low power. Now we're cooking! Now it's like a different, car! Much more responsive.

So it is possible to take the Celica GT-Four from a sluggish car towards stardom. Also, we got 3 stages of turbos, intercoolers, etc. which push the power past 450. Good power for lots of racing in GT2, but at this level, the car still seems unsure and sometimes difficult.

It's always gonna be a tuner's project car...not an easy one to win with, but for someone with exp. it can rock.

66/100

Next car: Pupiks list...bla bla bla Dodge Intrepid ES

No Dex...I'll just keep an eye out for a Storia 2x in the used car lot mental note to self.

mine I had managed to top out at 464 horse power, but when my card formatted I cried for about an hour and a half while getting my liscences back, but it does become awesome. I bought more or less because of the fact it looks exactly like my brother's rugular Celica

Yeah, the Celica does become awesome, but at first a “Great Deal but Needs Work” sign should be hanged along with its For Sale sign.
 
How do you like the Nissan C-Class touring car, I really enjoy the sound of the engine and handleling!

I'd rate the ZZII at 85/100 [wait, I just did]

It's a pretty awesome car, but I didn't use it much.

Next my favorite car [am I random or what] - '97 Nissan Stagea Autech Ver. 260RS
 
82/100
pretty fast for a wagon :)

i was just wondering....the max hp of the stagea autech is 600++ hp right?
it has the same RB26tt engine found on the R34...so why 600++hp? :)

next car...the spoon hatchback
 
Spoon hatchback

95/100

Sooo much bloody fun winding that engine aound its tach, with a little help, smokes the nsx's and other BIG DAWGS. Tune it to swing its ass around the corners and you've got your self an entertaining ride my friend!



Lexus SC300
 
intake
for the lexus....i havent tried that one
but ill rate it 84/100
Click to expand...

Well, that's a little off the hook, don't you think :scared: ?

The Zanavi Silvia? Well, it's pretty well balanced and it uses its tires equally, vrey useful in endurance races ;) Allthough it may not be as powerful as the GT500 GT-Rs and Supras, its distinctive easy handling and low weight makes it a great car for hunting those GT500 in ;)

Rating? I haven't driven it, but I'll rate it a 90/100 ;)

Next car: (hope we didn't have it yet) the BMW E36 323Ti Compact

EDIT: Hope you don't think I'm making fun of you, my friend ! I'm making fun of the situation ;)
