Weekly Race Series, Week 40

[Jpec07]

Well then, I guess I'll just have to find me a faster car (if I intend to win beginner league, that is)

 

[gt4]

oh your not gonna win beginner league i am

 

[Jpec07]

ARE YOU ASKING FOR A CHALLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENGE?!?!?!

 

[gt4]

im not asking for anything i am merely declaring my intention of taking the beginners crown

 

[Jpec07]

Well then, step aside and let me show you how to drive...

 

[boombexus]

Ooh! I love it! Trash talkin!

[Mr. Burns]Excellent![/Mr. Burns]

 

[Small_Fryz]

My T times might be the same if not a little faster than my last post 34.4 / 59.6 but my overal time improved greatly

 

[gt4]

yeah when i dropped from 1:00.2 to 59.6 i dropped almost 2 seconds of my overall time

 

[Jpec07]

I really gotta find a faster car (I pray to God it's not a Lancer; I can't stand the Lancers...)

 

[gt4]

all right after another 15 laps i got a 34.4 and a 59.3 and dropped a half second overall

(oh and dont worry i dont think its a lancer or at least im not using a lancer)

 

[gt4]

oh and i just noticed your name is josh. so is mine. maybe we can have a battle to be king Josh

 

[Jpec07]

Well, Josh, good luck, although I doubt you'll be able to keep up (once I find the right car, that is)...

 

[Small_Fryz]

well i garutee you guys wont keep up with me

 

[gt4]

thats fine with me as long as i win the beginners division. (your not in the beginners division are you?)

 

[Jpec07]

No, I think he's one of the better amateurs...
(BTW, I'm trying out Subarus as I type, and thery're promising...)
Edit: Nevermind that...

 

[hippyneil]

Seems to me Evo VI or Camaros put in very similar times (around 59-60sec at T2)... can't find anything else that goes too well.

 

[VG30DETT]

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI RS: 25,980cr
Oil Change: 250cr
Lightweight Stage 1: 1,200cr
Intake/Exhaust Stage 1: 1,600cr
Super-Softs: Free, from's Boom's Big Tire Emporium
--------------------------------------------------------------
Total: 29,030cr

I was running it with a chip, but I found the exhaust still kept me in the 30k credit range, while giving me three extra horses. The previous set up yielded me with a T2 of 59.5.

 

[gt4]

well ive stopped with that car having gone a 34.215/59.338 on my best lap and will now check out a few more cars since ive only tried 3.

 

[codered_59]

just a general question: do you people have ASM and TCS turned on at all?

 

[gt4]

i dont

well me, i turned both ASM and TCS all the way to zero... (just because i like to drive without any interference, if the car wants to slide.. so be it)
maybe thats why my time is slowwww oh well

i think your time will be a bit faster if you turn off ASM and set TCS between 1,2, or 3 (depends on your driving style)

 

[VG30DETT]

I turned all of them off.

New T2: 58'8xx
Was clean, till I met that little niche in the wall.

With 970 credits left, you could get yourself a flywheel.

Did anyone else have to turn the music down. I just could not hear these cars with their crappy exhaust. That Camaro SS sounds like it's electric or something!

haha, yeah i have it turned off too, cant hear the cars revs w/ the music on. I really gotta get some time into this, hopefully i can tomorrow cuz im off work. project gotham 2 is owning me hardcore tho

 

[gt4]

well ive managed to pull off a 33.7 3 times now but always hit the wall right after T1 so i know i can drop another second of my time so far.

Yeah, I've met that wall a time or two while admiring my T1 time. Couldn't they have put that in the middle of a straight?
