Good read, but I think it would have been more fair to use the ACR version.

ahaha, the ACR would mess the Camaro up, 06 Coupe was a much better contestant. 👍

Well I don't know about you, but it was obvious to me that the Camaro would kill the Viper. I wish PD had put the Viper from 2008-2010 in the game instead because it makes 600 horsepower, as opposed to a little over 500.

Anyway, that's just what I would do, but maybe the ACR would kill the Camaro. It is a brutally fast car after all.

I know as a fact that the ACR would dominate the Camaro.. It is only worth something like, 1,000cr more than the Coupe. With that extra thousand, you get over 100 extra hp, downforce, and a race tuned suspension.

The Camaro wouldn't be able to compete.
 
Any plans for the next episode you wanna tell me about? (privately of course, we can't have these hooligans knowing our secrets) :sly:
 
I have some suggestions:

BMW M3 vs. Toyota GT86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ

Nissan GTR Black Edition vs. Silvia S15 Spec R

Chevy Corvette ZR1 vs. Corvette Z06 C5

McLaren F1 vs. Skyline GTR R34, Viper GTS or RUF CTR2

:sly:👍

More than likely they used the '06 viper to be a more fair competetor to the Z06 and to give more room between the base viper and the ACR.
 
Or use the BRZ as David in one of these challenges:

BRZ vs. GTR Black Edition, C6 Z06, SRT-10 Viper, NSX-R NA2 or CTR2?

;)
 
Here's another challenge:

Nissan GTR Black Edition vs. Mitsubishi Lan Evo 8/9 GSR/MR

or

Nissan GTR Black Edition vs. Subaru Impreza WRX STi '05
 
I like this idea, I voted for it depends on the car, as I think tyres are just another upgrade, but for these kinds of tests both cars should run on the same tyres.
 
Thing is while you give the lap time you don't give enough feedback on the drive ability of the car or consistency.

For instance on the corvettes which car was easier to get a consistently fast lap in. Was the tuned car lap a banzai run or could you lap comfortably Within a tenth or so and vice versa?

Still pretty cool though.

I've said all of that in newer episodes 👍

Vette test was one of the first ones.
 
Cool I only read up to that point so far. Doing a 3-5 lap shakedown showing consistency of times and total run would be useful. Good work.
