I think there is another 0.300 in that time... but the Camaro is still faster, I gave up on it early cause it's a big brick with wheels compared to this other car.

Holy S*** :lol:

PM me the cars so I can check them out. In two weeks, I'd like to wrap this up for an article. You guys are insane!

Bhawk, downloaded the vid. Clean lap, bro. :) ...too clean maybe, I'll consider any lap as long as you have two wheels on the track at all times. :lol:
 
Valkendorm
Well, you can easily know which one it is by clicking here. ;)
Click to expand...

Should've thought of that, and I should've known... but who knew it'd be so fast? Good find!
 
It was the RX-8 Type S (More Power)

Who knew? I did, it's only marginally slower than an RX-7, and I will take an RX-7 before a Camaro any day in Gran Turismo.
I spent I alot of time looking for a 'real' Mid Engined Car ( I can't stand that MR-S), bu tto no avail, they were all too expensive.

Car 1 and Car 3 are the same, I just adjusted the parts, Car 2 is the Camaro, and The second post is the Scooby (mentioned that one directly)...

Hmmm... can we add in cars that are used; BUT; newer than model year 2000? (so 2001 and newer)... would make this more interesting... there becomes about 4 times as many choices :)
 
I'm kinda against the idea of cheap muscle killing new cars. If you want to score it, it should be a separate division. Will update rules.

Simply, Used car value should be counted from the value of the 10km/ 6.2mile specials. If the car ISN'T a 10km special, it receives a free chassis rigidity refresher and oil change.

I've linked the data dump in the original post. You'll be surprised how expensive some cars are! I'm making a shorter list of the legal cars. Sorry, no Skylines fit within the budget. :(

Here's the list of LEGAL USED CARS and their 10k prices, from SilverEclipse's List.
 
Argh. They're too expensive, too...

RX-7s, R32 Skylines, 3000GTs, S2000s... and some EVOs... this could be interesting...
 
Ah... but those are the prices of worn down used cars... you've got to use the list I posted on the first page... that gives you the 10km price. Oh well, maybe it'd be too hard to do it via 10km. I guess your idea for USED based on age is better. :(

Will update, and let's see what happens. :lol:
 
It's closed, but you're welcome to submit. SS tires are standard. :)
