I like using Matterhorn Rotenboden as a test track. It reminds me a lot of the elements that make the Nordschleife so challenging- mostly the narrow, twisty roads and tricky undulating elevations.

I also use that track as a test track...

To test extremely underpowered cars and extremely overpowered cars :sly:

And back to the topic!

I've gotten the Mazda 787B' 91.

Blew 20mil on the GTO. Now to do some pics with the 288 and the Pontiac.

No Mitsubishi?

Another Ruf CTR "Yellow Bird" '87 so that I can continue to drive it stock without having to switch out my drift tune.
 
This beauty!

'99 Honda insight :D
After tuning that small 1.0 VTEC engine delivers 170BHP, it is able to go 280km/h.
Full throttle on Route X at 280km/h and fully customized it is able to do 6 kilometer per liter.
When driving like an old man: 105 km/h in 5th gear, it does 20 kilometers per liter (measured over 2 laps = 60 kilometers).
 
Another MX-5 (well, Eunos technically) to make into a little drifter for the Seasonal, somehow I managed to pick one without a hidden stripe though :( oh well.

Comparing a NSX to a 350z is like comparing a Ferrari 458 to a Volkswagen

I know this is an old post, but I found it amusing, because a late 90s NSX does about 8:35 there. The magazine that tested it has the quickest stock NSX (not R) time as far as I know. Confirmed and stock that is. The same magazine that posted said time, did an 8:26 with the 350z. And it was Autosport. They're massively respected. The NSX is a fanboy car. It looks cool, but it is slow and can be outperformed on a track by an e36 M3. Same time period, less than half the price in america and the american e36 was slower the euro one. Every magazine praised the M3 over the NSX. Apparently it can't hold a candle to a 350z either lol. As I said, looks cool...not quick in a straight line and so-so in the handling department. I don't know how otherwise would be expected. Throw an underpowered v6 into a MR chassis, sell it for as much as a Porsche, whilst it is far slower. It must be great though, be cause it looks like a super car. 99.99999% of people who talk it up, have never sat in one, let alone drive one. They also sold like.crap and for good reason. It was not a performer. Looked cool, sounded cool, didn't handle terribly - that's it lol.

Comparing a ferrari to a Volkswagen hahahahaha holy crap, kid.
 
Bought a Lister Storm today, why didn't I buy this car sooner? Before driving it, I looked at the tuning sheet and thought "What the hell?". Changed it to some sensible settings and wow, I don't usually choose racing cars or racing tyres, but this car went straight to the top of my all time favourites after just a few corners. It's handling characteristics are remarkably close to my Lotus 97T, even if it is nearly three times heavier.
 
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 '11 - I needed a 'real' race car that wasn't just a highly-strung street car, set it up with Team Shmo's setup and started tweaking to my preference from there.

Worth every single credit.

Then I also bought my 1st Ferrari 458 in GT6, and installed 'my version' of an 'Eibach Pro-Plus Kit' (lowering springs+stiffer spring-rate+sway-bar upgrades), Boy is that Ferrari A Ferrari. Had to re-use my Ferrari avatar, the fan-boy in me is coming out again. :lol:
 
Today I bought the '85 Honda Today (lol)

As well as the Nissan Be-1 '87, Honda N360 '67, and the Nissan Cube EX (FF/CVT) '02

In order of fastest to slowest around Suzuka Circuit 100% stock except for Sport Hard tires:

2:58 - Cube
3:03 - Be-1
3:21 - Today
3:27 - N360

There's over 1 minute and 15 seconds between a stock McLaren F1 and a stock Honda N360.

Well, except I was using the Bentley Speed 8 when this happened. Forgot to pit and by the time I'd realised it was way too late.

Anyway, today I bought a Mercedes C63 AMG. Man that thing is mental.

Haha. That several classes racing at the same time. You were doing the S2k challenge in the mod class, no? It's a smaller world than you think ;) Put the same driver in the cars stock out of the box and it would be another story. Your video is proof that you're better driver. No offense, but you would destroy your lap times, if you were in an e92 on the same tires as your s2k. I've seen it a million times. I am part of the SCCA and BMWCCA. We have a lot of s2Ks that race with us in the bmwcca. Especially at auto-x. Only tracks. I don't do auto-x, but I watch and see the results. S2ks have trouble with stock US e36 M3s and C5 vettes. You can look up SCCA results around the country, if you please. Not insulting you or your car, but let's be serious lol.
