Super GT/JGTC Shootout - 07/06 - Shootout Officially Finished!

[BolverkGTM]

But why would you want to beat the RX-7? .....

Self improvement type of thing. Whenever I see two cars that run really close with each other in lap times, I always end up doing this. I set a time with one car, then try to beat it with the other car. It's not so much to see which car is better, but rather to challenge my own driving ability to keep two completely different cars in close competition with each other.

I'll keep at it until I finally hit a point where one car sets a lap time that I absolutely can not beat with the other car, no matter what effort I put forward to push the car as hard as possible.

Some of these duels I've had include:

Mine's BNR34 vs. Honda NSX Type-R at Eiger
(back in GT5 Prologue, I forget which car won)

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 vs. 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T at Nurburgring Nordschleife
(Camaro won)

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX RM vs. TVR Tuscan Speed Six RM at Tsukuba
(Tuscan would've won, but Roj's tunes are keeping this fight going yet...)

Yay! Go go go! Just don't die and keep awake, eh?

As a goof, death is not a option!

He says, buried in the wreckage of Onboy's Garaiya...

 

[Michelin]

I know that.

GT300 Count: 3 down, 7 to go.
GT500 Count: 0 down, 10 to go.

 

[Onboy123]

As a goof, death is not a option!

Well, yea. It's only until you get to the GT500 car will you see death in the face.

He says, buried in the wreckage of Onboy's Garaiya...

Oh shut up you, or Imma strap you into both of them and see how long you last.

 

[GeeBaby]

Tune based on Praiano, final tweaks by him, I'm guessing.

Correct. I didn't see anyone choose the Wedssports Celica and that is my favorite car in the GT300 so I did a search and the only tuner that had one was Praiano63.
I asked him if he could enter it and he said it was an online tune and he wasn't sure how it would drive offline. He cannot drive it since he is away so I offered to tweak it for the shootout and he agreed to let me do it based on his tune.
I just wanted to see the Celica in the shootout because I know most would get the Garaiya, Subaru and the RX7.

It was pretty self explanatory, I'm not sure what Trackripper didn't get.

Well, not really. I know that JG had one, and a few others as well, maybe the database needs an update or something. Also, the C-West is just there to take up space, right? It's so slow.

And sorry to break it to you, Slacker (CSLACR) took the Weddy a moment before you did.

Ahh shush, I woke up at 6am for some reason, thought "what the hell" and checked this thread, and first thing I saw was that, so in my groggy morning state something didn't click...

 

[Michelin]

Let me axe a thing guys. GeeBaby/praiano63 has his GT500 entry ready, but he couldn't post it at midnight like he said he was doing to me. Would you guys have any problem if he posted it, even though it's way past the deadline? I don't see a problem, but it's better to have a common sense and voting to reach an agreement.

 

[trackripper123]

Your call NM, I don't have a problem with it, even though it'll probably wipe the floor with us

Depending on what "way past the deadline" actually is. If it's within 24 hours, I'm fine with it. If it's something longer than 2 days though, not really.

It's within 24 hours for now.

 

[Onboy123]

It's within 24 hours for now.

Then I'm fine with it. As long as its in by the extended deadline, it's fine.

 

[trackripper123]

Depends when he actually posts it though doesn't it?

 

[krenkme]

I say a serious scolding, wave you finger at him and tell him to NEVER do it again, have him promise to be on time from now on, and then except his entry

I just turned a 1:44.645 with krenkme's RX-7.. even though I only tested 3 cars, it's 0.903 faster than Roj's Impreza!!! And 1.334 seconds faster than XDespy Garaiya... What's happening? I did run 5 laps with each car to be fair.

Looks like castration is the way forward.

that's not quite how that sounded in my head.

Guess its a good thing this Shootout isn't just about lap times.
Must say though I am a bit surprised that you only beat my time by a half second or so.

 

[VTiRoj]

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX RM vs. TVR Tuscan Speed Six RM at Tsukuba
(Tuscan would've won, but Roj's tunes are keeping this fight going yet...)

Are you using my Tuscan RM tune too? That might sway things back in the Tuscan's favour.

Also has anyone noticed how convenient the latest seasonal is? All anyone has to do is borrow someone's NSX GT500 from here and win.

Not really helpful for me right now since I'm with max money.

Just to say that some cars will gain a re-run after finishing the whole lot of cars due to me constantly finding new ways of making certain turns. As example, Roj's and XDespy so far will gain a re-run.

 

[XDesperado67]

@Onboy which Garaiya did you enter?
I entered the standard '03 one cause of lack of time to break in the premium one.

He entered the same one. Just tested it.
