Call him mcshammy instead Thiele. Or if Macca doesn't like that, call him mcstooge.

I'm sensitive to name calling . Call me anything, even my real name, but not mcstooge... that applies to you as well, Ithiele

Edit: That's my 100th post in this thread!

Real name, you have a real name?? Don't worry Macca, I was watching Fat Pizza the movie and mcstooge came up in that bit when Paulie fights Ronald McDoggle after smashing his Porsche.

But you didn't say anything about mcshammy.

Edit: That's my 100th post in this thread!

Noooice. And a lot of records in those 100 posts too Macca. Congrats.

 

[Dark Elite]

Hey, guys..

Apologies for the protracted absence, I seem to be ridiculously busy these days, so, much as I know I'm far too late - congratulations to all who've got new or improved speeds, and I will get the Leaderboard caught up to date soon!

Nice to see the banter

Oh, and Macca being called mcsqueezy is pure subliminal messaging from his previous avatar..

. I'd have to agree with you on that DE. 👍

My favourite quote is just after that scene: 'That's why you get Mcnuggets!!' Classic how they put 'mac' in front of everything. But 'mcshammy', i'll have to think about that one...

How about McDonalds?

Congrats, that means almost 1/5 of your posts are in this thread...

Hehe

Is there a statistic somewhere for how many posts you've made in each thread? I'm interested to know, now you mention it, how many of the 7356 posts in here are mine

A conservative estimate would say around eight hundred, which is quite a few
And if that's right, I've got almost a quarter of my forty-one-month membership's posts in here
Actually, that doesn't sound right, maybe I have a lot more than one in ten posts in here!

Reading back to update...

Making a new post so DE notices it

Eep

Macca, ZOOM OUT THE CAMERA AND MOVE AWAY FROM THE TV!!!

Yeah, what he said!
What d'ya think I'd tell a new member if they came in with 356mph and video quality like that? Oh, go on then...

If I'm not far too late to say so, a big welcome to MadMax86, along with congratulations on being really original with the first car! 👍

Yes, that's a Delta S4 doing 300mph

You, sir, are clinically insane. Proud of ya
Actually, more to the point, I'm proud of the old Delta for doing it, heroic car that it is
How much power did that FTO put out? Wasn't it 570-ish brake horsepower? Perhaps the Delta's the least powerful car ever to top 300mph...?

I was hoping for a slightly better speed, but...

You're always hoping for a slightly better speed! Taking the record, even by a mile per 4.17 days, is never enough for you, is it
0.01mph = 1 mile/4.166.. days

I left the gearing as it was, and...

...here we go again

And finally, huge respect for getting the Audi RS 4 up there! Generally, Macca, all-round congratulations are in order for you destroying everything while I wasn't looking 👍

Believe it or not...
Leaderboard Updated
Let me know if there are any mistakes in it, I don't think I've ever done so much at once

Sam

 

[mcsqueegy]

No mistakes I noticed on the leaderboard, except you didn't update the HSR in the records section 👍. Aside from that, is that possibly the most records taken at once?? Well by me at the very least
And as for how many posts you have here, it's about an extra 400 on what you were saying

Scary eh? I'll be back with a couple of Lotus speeds soon, I plan on getting most brands on the leaderboard (except the Saleen and maybe a few 4.5 mil cars). I gotta learn to stick with one car, though

The Delta S4 has 580, the FTO 693, and the Spec C is lowest, with 522/526 (original turbo/stage 3 turbo)

I've been known to post 4 in a single post in the past.

You can plan all you want...

The Delta S4 has 580, the FTO 693, and the Spec C is lowest, with 522/526 (original turbo/stage 3 turbo)

I was going to say that the Impreza was lowest, but I didn't know offhand what the Delta S4 was pumping out.

Here's to all the tuning I need to do over the next month or so... 👍

Ahh, bugger. There's always one I asked because I knew I'd probably forget one of the records somewhere, so, thanks for the heads-up! It probably is the most new cars in one update for a very long time, but remember it's over quite a few weeks too

And as for how many posts you have here, it's about an extra 400 on what you were saying

Whoa, that is quite a few Very nearly half of all my posts here, which sounds about right! Looking at my recent posts from my profile, there seems to be a recurring theme on the thread titles hehe. Look forward to seeing some new stuff from you!

The Delta S4 has 580, the FTO 693, and the Spec C is lowest, with 522/526 (original turbo/stage 3 turbo)

Ahh, damn that Impreza for being ridiculous. I forgot about that. Cheers

Thanks for the post count info, it's interesting to see who's been here the most often! I'm not too surprised at second place, though
Something else it brought up, though, is this: "Mt. Lynx 156". Now, these were up to November 2006 at the latest, save for a couple of posts in May and July last year, so I can't for the life of me remember what name this Premium member used to go by... The posts are familiar, and I'm gonna kick myself when I find out, but... Anyone know?

Good luck, MS, with whatever mentality you choose to indulge in over the festive season.. 👍

And indeed a very merry Christmas to everyone

Sam

A 'not too shabby' 4th place for myself.

Indeed, quiet as you can be, you've been putting in the posts over the years

Team666.

Ahhhh, of course. I should've known, by his absence high up in the post rankings! Thanks for that

Let the craziness begin!

He says, as if it didn't being when Tommykairas started topping 380mph...

EDIT - Merry Christmas, everyone

Sam

 

[mcsqueegy]

Coming back with updates:
Lotus Sport 350: 313.97mph
Lotus V8 GT: 304.7xmph
Lotus V8 SE: 303.7xmph
The '89 300ZX: 297.05mph (how many people have actually tried this? It might be capable)
And....drumroll... I got another Impreza up to 300.01mph! It's the sedan STi next to the Spec C. They're similar in every way except for 1/4 mile times (but hell, it's still FAST). Video of it will come up eventually, i'm enjoying my holiday right now

And merry Xmas to you guys too, who cares how belated.

-Macca

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Hey Macca, I hate to rain on your parade...

But I've had it over 300 for a while

No proof pics though because I'm a lazy bum.

But yeah, 300.01 is perfectly achievable with the non Spec-C (to DE or anyone else who's skeptical)

 

[C-ZETA]

Managed 353 mph in W12 Concept. That's my record, but it's been ages since it was done, so I don't remember the setup.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Funny, fastest it's gone is 306mph.

 

[C-ZETA]

Funny, fastest it's gone is 306mph.

So it's slower than a Sport 350?! Unbelievable.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Perfectly believable.

Sport 350 has the benefit of downforce. The Nardo, if I'm not mistaken, does not.

 

[Dark Elite]

The '89 300ZX: 297.05mph (how many people have actually tried this? It might be capable)

Given how long the '98 one took Leo, it probably is, but you might lose a lot of life force in the process
Nice work in the others, though! 👍

Hopefully, I won't have to quote the AUP at you in the festive season... Don't come in here making stuff up. We've seen it too many times.

300.01 is perfectly achievable with the non Spec-C (to DE or anyone else who's skeptical)

I love the automatic assumption that I'll be skeptical

Anyway.. Happy New Year to everyone! Don't do anything I wouldn't do..

thanks for reminding me of that depressing and frustrating experience.

like date a pretty and sober girl? 💡 j/k Happy New Year to you too, old buddy.

 

[Greycap]

Sport 350 has the benefit of downforce. The Nardo, if I'm not mistaken, does not.

Unfortunately I have to tell you you actually are mistaken. It doesn't have a visible wing but it does have adjustable downforce. My track version has the settings at 20/30, no idea if those are the maximum values, probably but I'm not completely sure.

 

[Dark Elite]

thanks for reminding me of that depressing and frustrating experience.

Anytime

like date a pretty and sober girl? 💡

Hehe, that's coming from you, mate?

Happy New Year to you too, old buddy.

Cheers

Apparently, this is my 1200th post in here.. Wow. That's a few.

[Saleen757]

Hello, I'm new to the forums. Owning GT4, my favorite car is the Saleen S7 I can reach a Max speed of 285MPH. I am trying to reach 300 MPH.

Any suggestions?

 

[Leoni Dias]

Lotus Esprit Sport 350 beat 300mph easy...I'll post soon, for me it isn't normal O.o

 

[aguilar]

Benz C9 Race Car. Full Nitrous, long 5th, no down force.

 

[mafia_boy]

Looks like some twit didn't even bother reading the EXTENSIVE SET OF RULES that DE has set which are required for a 300mph run. Allow me to refresh some slow-witted people's memories:

-1.1 All speeds must be proven by photograph of the Session Record screen showing your maximum speed in miles per hour to go onto the Leaderboard.

So, go and do your run again aguilar and then put a SESSION RECORD pic up of your Sauber then DE might put you in the books, and that's IF you actually read the first post again and follow ALL THE RULES!!

 

[Thiele]

Benz C9 Race Car. Full Nitrous, long 5th, no down force.

Bad luck mate, as mafia boy said, it has to be the session record screen. I did that a few years ago when i was new to this club too.

A while ago i got had a 300mph pic (can't remember which car) and i got up to get my phone and accidently pushed triangle and got out of it.

 

[Dark Elite]

Reiterating somewhat less aggressively Yes, sorry aguilar, we require all photos to be taken from the Session Record screen, as some discrepancies between this and the "Recent Records" screen have been noted in the past.

Sam

 

[mafia_boy]

Just call me your 300mph guard dog DE, mauling legs of people who don't follow the rules.

 

[Dark Elite]

Meh, fair enough, it keeps them under control while I'm not paying attention
