there are all these different JGTC GT-Rs and NSXs in the new car dealerships. is there a difference between them? They all have the same stats and prices...
I love my ARTA NSX. which GT-R do you guys recommend i buy and test?

Could you also do one of the Level 20 Nissan Race cars? (Calsonic Impul GT-R '08 or Xanavi Nismo or Yellowhat)
Also if we look at the Level 20 Nissan Race cars, and compare that to the Level 21 Nissan Race Car (Xanavi Nismo Z'06), we see that they have the exact same power (493 hp) and weight (1100kg), however the Nismo '06 has much more torque (520 ftlb vs 376). Should we prefer the latter one then, if we want better performance?

Im planning on getting a couple o JGTC GT-Rs. just taking a break from farming for a bit.
its much more important to look at peak torque @ RPM. the one which peaks at a higher RPM will eventually out accelerate the other. (drag race)
if they both peak at around the same RPM the higher torque car will definitely be faster. if theres a difference of, lets say, > 2000RPM in the lower torque cars favor, she'll put up a good fight.
Ill check it out 👍

I just checked, they don't give peak torque @ rpm for the jgtc gtrs. Except the xanavi z '06 Which is a 350z not a Gt-r (72kgfm @ 4000rpm) that peak rpm is really low. I'll bet the GTRs will have a much higher peak rpm and should be able to beat the Z after a couple of gear shifts. Only one way to find out.
U have my curiousity going, I might get em both today.

Just bought the xanavi GTR 08. She develops 68kgfm @ 7300 rpm (+mods)
initially I think it was 50ish @ 6300rpm (without mods)
buy the gtr, she's a much better performing car overall, in theory. I'll test her once I get the Z. The Z is probably a better choice for a track like cote d'azur. Basically any track where there are lots and lots of corners and no chance of getting close to top speed.

I think that was one of the toughest events for me. finished most of it with the veyron. just bullying my way thru. nurburgring is impossible with the veyron. try the minolta (Aspec "like the wind" prize car), the furai (Bspec prize car). Both cars are free, so u could save your cash for something nice.
the furai is easier to get, i think its the roadster challenge in Bspec. Get it, itll save u all ur money and you should be able to complete the event. or u could use it for "like the wind" to get the minolta. vette zr-1 RM is another good choice for like the wind.
another tip, before u start the allstars event, look at typical opponents, note the higher HP cars. start the event. if u see those cars in the race, quit and restart until they randomly dont get picked. makes the event much easier.
hope this helps

why doesnt it let u use the 787B? that sounds odd.
Thanks a lot for your attention and help.
Regarding your other post, if one of them had a higher torque at the same peak rpm, I guess the higher torque car would dominate in horse power.

PS: You're gonna test the Xanavi now that you bought it, right?

ya the higher torque car would out accelerate if peak RPM is the same, will therefore have more HP than the other too.
I'll test her later today along with the Z and a few others ive got lined up.

Just noticed this:

19)-Nissan R390 Gti '98--1062---722----1.44------1:06:693--------9----9-------10--------9 new
Look at the lap times. I think the Vertigo should move up a spot

@stormbringer - this a great thread and v useful. Thanks for all the effort u put in!! A couple of comments:
1. My Sauber C9 has 1003 HP prob cos of oil change. A few extra HP may help beat the Nissan.
2. It's interesting that the Nissan R89C has noticeably better lap times than the R92CP even though the R92CP is supposed to be the improved version.
3. Very curious to see how the Bentley Speed 8 performs cos it is slightly more expensive than the C9 and always pain in the **** in any races against it! On paper it cud b faster but iv heard it does bot handle as well. Wanted to get a 2nd opinion before investing in one.
4. On the to be tested list still dont see the Jag XJR-9 LM and BMW V12 LMR mentioned. They should be worth a go as I would expect them to be in top 15 if not the top ten.
Keep up the great work!!!

ok tested both, the Xanavi GT-R and Z.
To tell you the truth, they both feel very very similar, especially on this track.
they got pretty much the same exact lap time too.
there should be a much bigger time gap between the 2 on a track like sarthe.
I really liked them both.
btw the Z has 85kgfm @ 4500RPM (fully modded)

good eye 👍 ive fixed it. thanx
thanks
1-im pretty sure i remember changing the oil, force of habit. But i'll double check
2-theres a lap difference of about 0.500sec. probably negligible, due to driver error. Its hard to say which one is better. both these cars are pretty much the same. they have almost the same HP W/P stats and i remember they felt very similar when i drove them.
4-ive added them to the list. they come across my used store very rarely. I mightve seem them both just once. just didnt have enough cash at the time.

Thanks for checking the Nissan race cars out.
Quick question: Do you have Skid Recovery Force ON?
I also started doing similar tests myself for the cars in my garage, but I seem to be about 2 seconds slower than you. You are probably a better racer than I am, but 2 seconds seemed kind of excessive for the same cars. That's why I wanted to check.

Nice updates!! You would know every single corner of Deep Forest like the back of your hand. Are you getting tired of this track?

i do have it on. 2 seconds isnt much, its probably because of our racing lines and braking. the 2 corners after the first U turn are the spots where anyones most likely to lose time. online thats usually where i overtake everyone.
if ure using a tuned car, touring car or race car you dont really need to brake at all when taking the first right and the left after that. Just let go of the accelerator a little before the turns. will need to brake just after the second turn when the road drops down and takes a sharp right into the underpass (tunnel).
its great youve started testing your cars too. It might get a tad bit boring after a while but It'll give you priceless insight when choosing cars for different races and tracks. everyone should do this. keep a record too.
hope this helps

u said it. Im really sick of it. i mustve done a gazillion laps around this track.
On the plus side, ya i know this track really really well now.
