Since the Shelby is so much faster than any other AI in the 500PP events, and given how poorly the AI drives I decided to give the Shelby a run to see how fast it could be if driven by a competent (but not alien) driver.
The AI Shelby runs 1:03 laps in this event, with a trt of 7:03 (due to him running a short lap 1).
I grabbed an unmodified Shelby from my garage and gave it a fresh oil change. I checked to be sure it didn't need an engine rebuild. Good to go.
Headed to CR where I have been putting in alot of laps in low PP cars. All aids off except ABS1. My first response was Holy Frijole! It's 486PP bone stock, and it's seriously underrated. (Which we already knew.)
If the AI was driving this car to it's potential you wouldn't catch it with anything at 500PP. The AI loses 7 seconds a lap compared to a decent human driver.
The first 2 laps are just dodging the AI roadblocks and then down to business. High 0:57 laps getting past the AI and then low 57s and then high 56s.
I know there is more there so I go again. This time I manage a 56.4
Go again and get 56.3 but I know it can do a 55. I feel I'm losing half a second at least.
I try again and squeek out a 56.1 but I need to take a break. I can feel I'm getting too desperate.
I know it will do a 55 bone stock. Maybe a 54? Any aliens want to step up and show what it really can do...
No aids, no shortcuts.
