Yup, already have it and ready for practice!
I need to work on going gold. I upped one of my silvers yesterday after about 10 minutes. Got 2 or 3 golds now. I hate how you barely rub someone and you get disqualified.
Anyone want to save me some trouble and get me a parts list and the specs for the GT Academy GTR??
I can do that for you, but I wouldn't trust it. This game is wacky sometimes and sometimes special cars drive a special way. I will get the list right now.
What tires? lol
478hp
1680kg
Brake Balance Controller is the only mod I see on the car.
I think it is just a stock GTR Spec-V haha I never paid attention to it before. If thats the case no need to get the GT Academy edition unless you want to cool livery. 👍
Wow kinda of suprised. Not many mods like the 370Z had. I will get it in the morning since its 1am here on the east coast. I will gift you one with that setup. If you could just let me know if it drives the same that would be cool. Thanks for the info. 👍
Haha I am sure it will drive the same, but sure. The big thing is practicing on the right tires, I wonder what tires they will have us run. The 370z tuned car that I own had different tires than the ones in GTA.
All the street GT-Rs come with Sports Hard. However, the 370z comes with Sports Hard tires, but the GT Academy ran it with Comfort Softs. It's probably safe to assume Sports Mediums will be the tire of choice for tuned cars, since that's what PD has chosen for Round 1 tuned 370z as well as the bonus time trials.
I did a few laps with the GT Academy with sports hard and comfort soft tires at Top Gear Test Track. The good news is that the comfort softs are relatively easy to control because the GT-R's AWD is like a driving aid you can't turn off.
Side note - the bad news is that I realized how much easier GT5 is than real life. In less than 10 minutes I put up 1:15's with the GT-R and comfort soft tires...for those following at home, that's about 2 seconds faster than the Stig's fastest time with ANY Top Gear test, and almost 4 seconds faster than his run with the GT-R...
The 370z was on Sport Softs I believe.
Top Gear test tend to me more entertaining than fast, he does a lot of drifting sometimes, and only does one lap (on the show anyways).
370z tires - sports softs for which, from the dealership or for the time trials? Round 1 was definitely comfort soft for Tsukuba/Rome and sport mediums for Cape. I don't think any new street cars come with sport softs, Nissans included. They are almost always comfort soft (comfort mediums for econo-boxes) or sports hard, with race cars fitted with race hards.
Top Gear test - I suppose that's true, it really can be for show. Even so, the GT-R's time of 1:19 can be smoked first try with comfort softs not pushing very hard. The same is true about the GT-R 'ring challenge. The record of 7:29 can be beaten by 10s+ in GT5.
Sport mediums your right, I was referring to cape not tsukuba.
I drove both GTR's and can't notice a difference really, just practice in a Spec V and you should be fine.
Still getting all gold on all 60 licenses still I think will help drivers with some of the techniques that you learn that might not of picked up already. At least it helped a little for me as well as competing in WRS as well.
