Spidey and I both tried it and it was great until you hit a rumble strip, or used the pendulum technique to aid rear rotation, then things went to hell in a hurry. i took rear spring, sway, and dampening out of it and increased the ride height, but it was just not my type of car. Had fun even though I got whooped. I'll see you all again though for Bullitt night.
 
The tune for my lotus has caster at 7.0 and some toe out one front AND rear (+0.3 and +0.1). I don't know where I wound up but springs, rebound and bump were all almost maxed out. I know you guys don't like the lotuses but for some reason it's by far my favorite.
 
We could make it old school vs new school bullitt?

2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 VS 2007 Shelby GT500 OR 1969 Dodge Charger R/T-SE vs 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429
 
I had no problems with the Lotus. I was running some fast laps and set some new fast laps. I'm not sure how fast the laps are, though, really, since I have a lot more track time in A class cars than S class. I broke 1:20 for the first time in S class, though, dropping several tenths of a second off my previous fast lap.
 
I ran a couple best times w/the Lotus also. 54.8 @ Tsukuba and 50.9 @ Suzuka West, but it didn't feel 'fun' to drive. I prefer my moderate hp'd lightened AWD cars that you need to muscle a little more and are less sensitive to suspension disruptions.
 
Yeah we actually had to rotate out because we had too many ppl for a single room. I think Arby won almost all the races.

that's because he always takes out spidey in the first lap.😀

Negative, I don't dislike the Lotus. It's just different, but it's a fun little car. Is it my favorite car, nay, but I'll race it happily.

I just used the tuning calc and changed a few of the settings, I really liked the car overall but, being a Lotus, it's still pretty squirely. If you can harness the squirel power though it's very quick.
 
Squirrely? It's a motorcycle with 4 wheels, what do you expect?. But I digress, that was some really fun racing on wednesday and I still love racing with you guys. We should try to help our newcomers if we're off the pace and race with them.

Not to take away from RP's week, but I've been thinking of my next pick which is the following week.

I've got 2 ideas:
02 Camaro SS vs 05 Mustang GT
Porsche 911 shootout

I'm leaning towards the Porsches, even though I'm not that good with mid-engine cars. Just haven't decided on a PI or which ones to include. I'm posting early to get a bit of feedback from everyone.
 
I'm fine with either of those ideas, hopeless.

What I need to do is get on my car for this week. I'll probably be tackling that tomorrow, building and running laps.
 
Porsche night will always get my vote, although I'll practice my awesome knowledge elitism and let you know that the 911 is a rear engine car, not mid engine. The Boxster and Cayman (as well as the old GT1 and Carrera GT) are their mid engine cars.

What would the PI cap be?
 
I think skinnee won most of the races. I will lay claim to highest cumulative total margin of victory time, which I can do every night we run the Nurburgring 😉
 
I can't remember which races I won the other night. I know I got Laguna, Maple Valley, Road Atlanta (maybe?), and possibly a few others. Not enough to get my damn 19 back, though. That one night just killed me. I never do well at Nurburgring and sat out that one, anyway. I generally do well at Sebring, which I missed 🙁 I don't mind sitting out but if I have a choice, Sebring is one of the tracks I'd rather not sit out for. I probably could have won Tsukuba but I got punted twice. I can't recall what happened at Suzuka but I think I pretty solidly had fast lap but finished third due to an early wreck or something. I don't remember what the problem was with that, though.
 
I won the first RA race and Arby won the second I believe. My only win of the night (I'll take what I can get).

Tell you what, Sebring is not one of my favorites so next time you have to swap out I'll take Sebring for you! 😛 Heck, I'll take Suzuka for you as well.
 
I only suggested the 'new school Bullitt' SRT8 vs the Shelby 500 because I already have both those cars. Since my game completion is obviously much lower than my fellow drivers here it gets expensive to have to buy and build a new car every week, and I don't want to have to rely on someone's good graces to gift me a car so I have something to drive. As for Porsche week I vote 914/6 or old school Carrera because I already have both of those 🙂
 
If anyone needs any of the cars just holler. Blowfish and I are sitting on 180 mil between us (yes I did the ebay thing too). Sometimes I make multiples of the same car just so I can test different parts-builds back to back.
 
What is the Ebay thing you speak of? Some way to buy credits? I saw like 10 stock Volvos in the AH the other day each one with a 10 mil buyout and 2hrs on the auction and 2 mins later they were all sold. I figured someone was doing a little money laundering.
 
BTW here is a Tank tune for the '69 charger...

Week 21 Jan

Porsche 911 family at S998, with no restrictions.

I think this all of them including the DLC cars:
1973 Carrera RS
1982 Turbo 3.3
1995 GT2
2004 GT3 (996)
2007 GT3 (997)
2007 GT3 RS (997)
2007 Turbo (997)
2008 GT2 (997)


Edited to remove the GT1 from the list.
