Three Hundred Miles Per Hour

[Greycap]

And I'll jump in with a bit more education... the GT2 version of the ZZII has very little in common with the GT3/4 version, except for the name. The GT2 model was a race car prototype, the GT3/4 model is a road going supercar proto.

 

[Speed 12]

ZZII comes with racing parts therefore it is a racing car according to the game(tranny,brakes,suspension,exhaust)=not road car

 

[Greycap]

So do at least the Jaguar XJ220, Nissan R390 road car and Peugeot 205 T16 road car. All those cars exist in real life, and are perfectly road legal. Sure, some of them may have been built specifically to become race cars but so what? They're still road cars, and classed as such.

The Rac3rX Section - Advanced Rules

• 6. Whether a car is catagorised as road or racing class is usually very clear, however in some situations it is not. My decision is final when there is doubt on this...

Either way, in the end D.E has the final say and I think we'd all agree that his opinion is already very clear. In terms of the Three Hundred Miles Per Hour leaderboard, the ZZII is classed as a road car.

As for the differences between the versions of the car in the GT series, Grey and Leo have pretty much nailed it... Let just move onto making new records 👍

ZZII comes with racing parts therefore it is a racing car according to the game(tranny,brakes,suspension,exhaust)=n ot road car

Let's correct that by saying that the ZZ-II comes with adjustable parts, which GT4 catagorises as 'racing' equipment. The ZZ-II was a road-going car, with parts taken from a GT-R Skyline, which is also a road-going car. It wasn't designed for racing. In my opinion, this makes it a road car, but if any more arguments are forthcoming, I'll happily consider them. I don't want anything incorrect coming through the Club, hence the strict verification rules, and I won't compromise that just to save face. If it turns out I'm wrong, I'll change whatever needs to be changed

By the way, I'm back.

Mazda RX-8 Concept LM Race Car
Mercedes CLK Touring Car
Nissan Motul Pitwork Z (JGTC)
Subaru Impreza Rally Car
VW New Beetle Cup Car

The cars above come equipt with Racing tyres, thus are race cars.
The cars below come with Sports tyres, so should be considered Sports (road) cars.

Audi Nuvolari Quattro
BMW M3 GTR
Buick Special
Tommy Kaira ZZII
TVR Cerbera Speed 12

Interestingly, the Gran Turismo Skyline GT-R looks race ready with its sponsor decals, but as it comes with Sports tyres I'd consider it an overly decorated (Tuner) road car.

Nice work! Just quickly, though, before I put it on the Leaderboard - did you follow all of the rules outlined in Post #1 with that run? 👍

DE

 

[crimson_menace]

Well, I'm back...and I actually have some records to be put up...

(and yes, DE, I did follow all the rules in post one. )

Oreca Viper <-- quite possibly a decent improvement.

BMW v12 LMR <-- a new one for me, maybe.

V-spec II Nur <-- I just can't seem to hit the proper line for the 'twitch glitch'

I'm trying like mad to beat the Viper's roadcar record, but I'm stuck 2/10's behind it, and I can't further my progression...

 

[Tornado]

I'm sorry to burst YOUR bubble, but TK ZZ-II is actually a concept car that never saw production.

ASL RS-01?
​

 

[Dark Elite]

Well done, Crimson - particularly with the Viper, it's a pretty tough car at the best of times, going .39 over the previous record is a nice achievement
As for the Skyline, I think it's safe to say your setup has still got something to do with it - more than your line, anyway.

Crimson, congrats on all your new speeds 👍 It seems like you've been giving all the cars a good run recently

well done Crimson........congrats on all new speeds 👍

Crimson, nice work. 👍

I feel your pain with the Skyline - I can manage 315-320 but can't touch the leading speeds. The surge of acceleration just isn't there.

but would the audi count as it was never made as a production (road) car? maybe add a concept car catorgary D.E?

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Buick Special (As it is in game) isn't production OR concept. It's custom.

As was said, cars with road tires are considered road cars.

Therefore, no.

 

[Dark Elite]

I don't quite see why that comment about the Buick is relevant, because that one was never questioned , but as for the Audi Nuvolari Quattro - thankfully it has never reached 300mph, so we don't have to worry. I confess I'm not entirely sure where I would put it, but it would likely be catagorised as a road car, as it's clearly a concept for a road car that is now in existence.

Hello everyone, I`m newbie here, and don`t know so much that know you! I tried hard, and finally did it! How i got my skyline over 300mph?

I used setup for Nissan SKyline GT-R V-Spec II Nur `02 (R34) from GTVault.com setup ID 6596, tuner Pyrelli and little modified it.

My modifications to this setup:
- 6th gear to 0.700
- final gear to 2.840
- Downforce - Front 0 / Rear 33
- Ballast 0

My max speed with this setup - 304.88mph!!! I`m happy!!!

here are photos to prove it!





I hope you will include me in 300+ mph Club!

 

[Leonidae]

ASL RS-01?
​

That's not ZZ-II, but more like ASL's version of Lotus Elise, Garayia.

 

[Dark Elite]

Looking forward to seeing an improvement in that Skyline speed, greens, the car has a lot more to give!

Thank You Dark Elite! Will try to improve my speed when I`ll have a little more free time, I hope this weekend!

Hi, i did few runs this evening and finally I got 314.31 mph , please update my speed in list! Thank you!
Here is photo of it!


Ihope to improve this a littlo more in future But not now, because have to race a couple of races too, not only run after speed

 

[Dark Elite]

Nice work! 👍

I look forward to seeing you push on with the same car - four-wheel-drive totally different to rear-wheel-drive for high-speed tuning, so use what you've learnt here first before trying any different cars

i found here 2 good manuals how to tune setup. and Pyrelli gave me good advices, so will continue to push harder to get better results!

 

[crimson_menace]

@ DE, Pyrelli, Viper & 2078TM: Thanks for the Kudos! 👍 +rep to all that I could.....

"...you must pass around more rep before you can give it to so-and-so again..." = boo. 👎

Can't wait to see what kind of speeds you guys bring next. Trying to beat them is the only thing I've got left in GT4, aside from starting new saves, and beating them over & over & over.

'Til payday, then I download whichever GT is available online. So's I can beat that over & over until gt5 comes out.

I made my cien go 290

I made my cien go 290

That ain't quite 300mph, dude. As soon as you see a '3' in that first digit there, follow all the rules in post #1 and you're in.

Unless, of course, your speedo is being nice and rounding 299.5mph upwards

Good call with that, DE. 👍
