    I like the no tuning as its fairer for the time trials. I dont like the 40mph hybrid lupo handbrake “drifting” style, so lame

      I also dislike the fwd drifters. I feel like it’s cheating too, and it doesn’t even look good.

      I don’t think front-wheel drive cars can drift well at all. I know it’s easy to do so in one, but it’s not very beneficial due to speed loss.

      I really Like this Timetrail, it’s fun and creative, Because the car can be thrown around like no other, so I actually have Fun with it.

      No:1067 on the board, so doing ok :O)

      But most of all, i find it Fun and Fair for all ..

      But I think getting gold should be harder. When the fastest online time is 7% faster than gold in a car that’s non-tunable it’s too easy. Or are we too fast?

    i find stock cars for a time trial is a bit boring, especially when the dodge handles like a BOAT, also when is PD going to stop the drifters using FF cars with the handbrake on , wiggling MAX points at 55 kph is not cool

      I haet that too!! PD definitely needs to fix the ff drifters.

    Hello all, I need help cuz I’m trapped in this big A truck… making a living. I cain’t remember which is ranked higher, the ZR1 or the ACR? Is there a pp limit or is it stock?

    Anywho, I’m quicker in the ACR, but wonder if others find the ZR1 faster. Is it a matter of tuning? It would be nice if PD would setup these special events for rival competition. There’s plenty out there.

      Oh yeah…. Nice pic SuperCharger ;)

      Both Barrels

      At the dealer, the ZR1 is rated at 638hp, 1505 kg and 574pp.
      The ACR is rated at 603hp, 1552 kg and 579pp.
      The TT is set up with no tuning option in a stock car.

    • March 7th, 2013 at 8:37 pm - #
      Both Barrels

      Oops, that should read 1508kg for the ZR1. I know the ACR was designed to dethrone the ZR1, but for me, they failed. And I’m not even a Chevy guy. I may have just started a holy war.

      Heck yeah you did! Best rival in GT5. Win or lose, I just enjoy challenging Chevys with Dodges. Thanks BB. Hope to get home soon.

    Excellent. There should be one of these non tuning fixed car time trials every time along with a more usual with varied tunable cars.

      infamousphil

      OMT… I’m curious. I have stock, street tuned (to matching pp w/SS tires) and race tuned (to matching hp/kg/pp w/RS tires and wings) versions of the ACR and ZR1 and am quicker in the ACR consistently. Maybe I just enjoy driving the Vipers more… I am a Mopar man at heart ;)

      How did you come to your conclusion?

    • March 8th, 2013 at 7:02 pm - #
      Both Barrels

      I have matched them both PP and weight-wise, and I recall the Viper being just a touch quicker too. I simply found the Vette more fun to drive. I have always loved them.

    this is great to see, i’m grateful for the fact that pd are still trying to keep things interesting despite the huge pressure they’re under with gran turismo 6.

    Is my game messed up or is there a different format for the time trials?

    Normally I have to go to my garage to change cars but not this time.

      Not this one. On these, they let you borrow a stock Viper ACR & Cappuccino. It’s a good way to show the players driving ability, rather than tuning ability.

      Cheers bud. It’s a very good way to see how good we all are comparatively. Got gold but not as good as I thought even with a Logitech wheel :-)

      I beat you! I own EVERY car in the game (except the latest car pack with the Super GT car). No trades have helped me get there either.

      I own multiple cars, also I own every dlc, and I could care less that you own every car, I just put that out there, thanxs for the brag anyway

      Kekke2000? Do hour have a standard version of the Mazda Group C car or the Mitsubishi IV? Some sites say they exist but I haven’t seen them. Real diligent when it comes ucd cars.
