where are all the times

you waited 36 minutes before getting impatient and asking where everyone's time is?

 

[GfxJG]

Can we change the tires to Sports Soft then? As they are street legal? Or must tires be stock too?

...Something is wrong with these lap times. How can a goddamn Mazda 3 be 20 SECONDS FASTER than a Mustang? o.O

 

[Exorcet]

Just FYI, that's the 2010 ACR. The 2008 ACR in the game is slower (well, except that it somehow reaches 200 mph). The ACR time you should aim for in a stock ACR in GT5 is 1:35.117

Nice. So if done are we using sport softs or tires that came on the car?


On an off note today on Speed is the Monterey Motorsports Reunion 3:30 et
Classic muscle on Laguna

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

Lets keep the tires stock too, just to see how close they will be off the real times

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]
