what i meant was the arcade car, or a prchased car. I think you mean the arcade car, but I want everyone else to know so I wont be competing with broken in cars.
I just ran the supra at tokyo r246. I havent driven the supra in almost a year I bet. It isnt very pleasing to drive, but it is quick. It doesnt understeer much, and has tons of power. One thing I have noticed with the car is that it seems more realistic than other cars, in the way that it understeers quite a bit with no weight over the front axle, but if you are to slighty touch the brakes the front tires regain a ton of grip.
I tried out tokyo because I was doing testing there yesterday with the other class A cars and I thought that that is where this competition was being held. I got a best time of 1:53.6xx after about an hour trying. I had one lap where I was 8 tenths faster after sector 2, but I bonked the wall on the right corner after right after the esses.
I also find driving the supra with the DS2 very annoying. It is difficult to put the car where you want it. I constantly find myself bonking the walls requiring me to start a lap all over again. I think I may FINALLY bring the momo down stairs and master GT with it. I had played around with it a bit before, but had brought it up stairs to use for GP$ soon after. The wheel will take some practice to be driving at the same level I am already capable of with the DS2, but it will be much easier to make mistake free runs.

alright, thanks askia.
I tried for about an hour and a half and got a best of around 1:33.9xx. I think I could probably atleast get down to a 1:33 flat. Maybe even lower. After I got a 1:33.9 I kept shaving off 5 tenths after the end of the first sector and then bonking. After using the analyzer I have already found what I think is the best line for all of the corners. Now I only have to worry about executing.

Im faster than you? im amazed. I was really impressed with your time in that other challenge. I couldnt even get close to it.
So what is your time as of now?
I will try to lower mine some more as well. As I said, I expect to get it down into the 1:32s. Maybe I will tonight.

Okay, I now know this course with the supra RZ like the back of my hand. I actually believe I have the perfect line memorized. If you guys would like me to share later, I can. I dont mean to be pompous, Im just taking pride in driving.
The analyzer is really handy, but I wish it could go in realtime or slowmotion sometimes, to analyze the throttle and brake application of the two ghosts. I find myself looking at a 5 second sector like 10 times before I can see who brakes later, and when. More options, and more cameras for the laptime analyzer would be a great addition to the next GT.
1:33.102
I know I can drop another 2 tenths or more. If i need to I will go do it. I will see what others can post first. Getting into the 1:32s is tempting, and I know the higher tier GTP drivers will probably be here soon.
I had just done about 20 laps straight all in the 1:33s. I was surprised I could be so consistent. I think being so confident that you know what to do at each corner before you get there helps you with consistency. Basically improving my time depends on how cleanly I can take the third gear left before the long back straight. To get high 1:33s I will shave my speed off to 56 for that corner. If I can get through it at 58-60 I get a much shorter first sector time. I actually got a first sector time -.498s once, but I started getting sloppy on the slight right directly after the end of sector 1. If I am going to get the way I take that corner back into shape I must analyze the short sectors for the hotlaps I have saved first. Sometimes I just start getting sloppy, and because the sector times had been changed by setting a new fastest lap, I dont know how cleanly I take that corner anymore.

thats it this time. I will go and improve only if someone beats my time. This really takes a lot of my time up for weekdays.
I can see room for improvement by analyzing replays. A lap compilation of my fastest sectors adds up to about 1:32.2. A 1:32 is definately possible.
