Was just discussing the LM, I reckon with a wheel user mines a 1:55.3 car, it's just to big an ask for me on a controller.
Which shows PD's stupidity at times even more, I'd accept the V10 being faster on the straights, but not the Viper in the corners, not a hope.

haha just my luck, very nice time Timppaq
My effort:-
1'56.593 | Lotus Elise 111R Tuned
I'll go out on a limb and say that 1'55.XXX can be done in the 111R
Ummm...I couldn't help but comment on your rather ignorant statements (when looking at the facts). First off, do you follow real racing or know enough about vehicle engineering to even make such a claim? The new generation Vipers are some of the best handling machines in the world. In fact, the ACR just set the new production vehicle lap record at the ring with a less than stellar driver (7:22 IIRC). Vipers have been extremely successful at Le Mans, the FIA GT series, and Speed World Challenge just to name a few venues. FIA also put a big restrictors on the Viper V10 back in the day (98-00) to keep them from dominating the competition. So much for them not being competitive in reality.
Here's a little list of series and race wins copied form wikipedia:

Italian GT - 2003, 2004
Oh ho, who's the ignorant one? Reviews alone will tell you the Viper does not handle better than the Z06, then there's lap times, and if you think the ACR "proves" anything at all then you know less about cars than you make out. The Viper ACR has had reduced weight, near racing tyres, and a complete aero package to make it fast. A car like that with downforce is inherently going to be lethal, and there is no Corvette in the real world with equal downforce to compare to. Over half of your race wins are enduros, which are essentially who has the righ stategy and who can last to the end rather than actual speed. Did I also mention that race cars have very little in common with the road going counterparts? Perhaps I should also mention that in a few race series I've seen the Viper is not fast enough to take down Porsche's and Maserati's which the Corvette would beat in real life.
The Viper can not handle better than a Corvette. (At least not in the current generations.) Of course though, the Viper is still an amazingly awesome car.

Holden, BEAUTIFUL tune on this baby, can be thrown all over the place and it is absolutely epic into T1. Well done and thank you.

Watch out, they might recruit you!Wow I hate when I say this, it makes me look like a moderator. (Don't take it personal MODS)
Ok, disregard the racing credentials I brought up, as they were a bit irrelevant in the overall discussion that a current gen Viper does not handle as well as a C6 Z.
If you follow rag reviews then what makes you think the Viper is a inferior handling machine in comparison to the Z06, considering that their test data and editorial bits show otherwise? I don't get where you're coming from with your views. Testing data has shown the SRT-10 and Z06 to be extremely close in terms of laps times, usually with the edge going to the Viper, despite having extremely similar trap speeds. Which is good indicator of rolling acceleration differences. So much for saying the Viper isn't in the Z06's league in terms of handling hah! Correct me if I'm wrong...? Maybe I should bring some lap time data to the table.

Hope to see you on track racing this, doesn't seem that many people like racing with this car, must be that they want to win a race My prefered car on Suzuka

im comin for ya holden
The controller has been faster in every other racing game released to this point, dont see what is different now (almost all times times in Forza2 are controller). You get AI smoothed steering and can go lock to lock in a flash helping in tight turns. Its just not as fun as a wheel but in terms of speed its win win.
I am surprised that Renaults arent all over this, in the 700pp class there dominated, maybe the 9pp they are missing is hurting them?
Chipped a bit off the Tuned Vette time.........

PLEASE, POST WITH THE USED FORMAT. (thanks for those who already do this!!) It means that the only thing I should be needed to do is copy your time to notepad and then paste it to the board. I know it feels that it's easy to add your name or other rather small edits to your submition but it does get a bit annoying and time consuming especially when there are hopefully more and more people submitting. Here is the format, so copy-paste this and edit your own details to it. It's actually quite easy..
for example:
