Well, im running out of cars to go really fast with
I tried that nissian GT-R lm roadcar (the one with 7 gears) and I only got it to 280ish
that thing's rear end is way to big:crazy:

cant belive this thred leanth!?!?!?
 
Hmm, 280 with the GT-R LM is nice going... I might've had about 280-285, but that's after a long time of tinkering.

I can't believe how successful this little idea of mine has been either, and it seems like a good time now to thank everyone involved. :)

Leaderboard Updated

Seems my R8 is no longer top, although it's gone fast enough to be - Need a video soon ;)

Allright, just to add to the competition: I´m going to claim the top spots for the following cars by tomorrow night: Merc CLK-GTR, Supra RZ, Bentley Speed 8 (limited, so I don´t have to post a vid), BMW V12 LMR, Pescy ´03, Nissan R92CP (also limited). Think thats it. See ya´ll tomorrow!

EDIT: Well, since my already posted pic of the R89C speed is not up on board, I´ll post a new one of that too!

Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted the fast speeds al to myself:grumpy: :grumpy: :grumpy:
 
Don't we all, Opendriver?

Bet my Merc will go a tiny little bit faster Team666. :p

JoshB1984, just as a little note, did you read the rules at the bottom of Post #1?

DE
 
Ok. Here comes my claims! Note that the Speed 8 and R92CP has been limited so that I don´t need a vid. They are both more than capable of over 350.

Now, let´s see your Merc speed, DE! I actually hope you beat me, since a good competition always is fun!

Team666, I won't pretend I like you doing this... You're just posting up speed after speed after speed, with no comments on how you did them, whether there's improvement there or anything - it just feels emotionless, and that's not what I want.

(I don't really want 8 speeds to put up at once, either...)

DE
 
Alright, I´ll go for some show and tell, thats only fair, but I will ignore the Bentley and the R92CP as they are limited, and not such an achievment that they deserve a writeup :sly: But I do want them posted in the leaderboard if thats fine by you, DE.

I´ll start with the BMW V12 LMR,
a great car with great looks aswell. Somehow it´s not as fast as most of the competition, like the R8 and such, but still very, very fast.
I initially just went for 330 mph with it, as I had troubles reaching above 325 starting out the tuningsession. After some major gearboxtweaking, I got 333.xx mph, and went to have a look at the leaderboard, to see how I was doing. Scheisse! I realized I had to get 335 or more to maintain a safer lead, so back to the old drawingboard!
I finally nailed it, with some sensible toesettings and some further development in the gears. 336.05 mph!

Next up is the Mercedes CLK-GTR, one of my favorite cars in GT4. I did have the overall fastest for this car, until a few days ago, when it was snatced, so I had to get it back. This is an open, ongoing case though, as there are more guys out there who likes this car, and wants the top spot. I managed 329.53 mph this time around, and I´m guessing someone will push it over 330 next time. Hopefully, it will be me!

The Toyota Supra RZ was easier than I thought to get over 300, and my current 304.43 could probably be knocked up a couple of mph, but I´m happy for now, as it is very fast anyway! I´m lucky enough to have the 904 bhp version, so my car isn´t that high on mileage, even though it´s not a 6.2mi car. It´s surprisingly how much downforce affects the cars top speed! Without a wing, 300 was impossible, but once fitted, the whole thing was a walk in the park!

I´ll do the Pescarolo Courage C60 Peugeot ´03 and the Playstation Pescarolo C60 Judd ´04 at the same time here, even if they are very different cars. I have to say that I don´t particularly fancy these cars, since I feel like they have no soul. Not like the Bentley or the R8! They are great machines capable of great things, though. The ´03 Pescy is really more personal and more fun than it´s bigger brother, mainly because of it´s very cool V6 engine. It´s obviously quite hard to get enormous speed out of it, but 330.64 mph is certainly not bad at all! Some fiddly gearsettings made that possible!
The ´04 Pescy is just a mighty machine, that gets the job done. I haven´t really sunk my teeth into this one one, so the speed is perhaps lesser than it could be, but 343.01 will do for the time being.

And last, but not least, the Nissan R89C ! This car has virtually the same engine as the Nissan R92CP, but due to it´s lesser aerodynamics, it´s a bit slower. If you can call 342.11 mph slow...
We had some discussions about this car a while back, but somehow it never ended up on the leaderboard, so I want to change that! This car is a one off though, so driving it too much is not advisable.
I pretty much used the same settings for this car as for the R92CP, wich was almost 10 mph faster at this point!

Hope you enjoy this to whatever extent!

Toronado
It can go far faster than that.

So can I. That was an old pic, but it was never put up on the leaderboard, and neither was your speed IIRC. So if mine goes up, you´ll have to do something about it! :D

Yes... I read rule. But I don't have a camera and things. :nervous:
 
Thanks Team666, I feel much better about your speeds now - it seems like more has gone into them. Nice reviews as well.

Screw that, I'm probably going to drive mine into the ground! I love it too much to moderate myself with it :lol:

Mr. Deap, I'll have a look at your comparison in a little while (my connection's a wee but busy at the moment), but there is some debate in my mind as to whether it is or not. In fact, if anyone beats the speed it will be removed completely, just for his general behaviour in the thread.

I've got a video of my top Audi R8 run, and I'm uploading it now. Updating the leaderboard while I wait...

EDIT - Leaderboard Updated - There's now 111 speeds on the 'board! My 351.17mph run in the R8 has been added already, but I will link to the video for it as soon as possible (Still uploading.)

EDIT2 - Dark Elite's 351.17mph Run in the Audi R8 - With zoom on tyres @ 350mph (17.76 MB .mov) (Playable in Quicktime or RealPlayer)

By far, mate... By far! I'm not sure why, maybe it's the uniqueness, but it's really special.

Could be my mind playing tricks on me, but I think it's more stable than it's brother too, and certainly better looking. I want to take a shot at Team666's speed with it, but I want to keep it stock more.

The video is up and running.

EDIT - In reference to Opendriver's post #1621, sorry! I misread that, or missed out a word or whatever... I got 285 with the GT-R LM Race Car, I think the roadcar is more capable.

Really?
It was eather you or tornado that said that it had only 600-700hp and I dont think anything with that low of hp is 300mph capable

EDIT: just tried the BMW LMR and got 335.69 and my phone was dead and tried again and only got 333:banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
I've never said that the GT-R Concept Roadcar had 600-700bhp, I know for a fact it can clear a thousand :) so power won't be a problem!

Bad luck with the BMW - I know the feeling! I've had 351.xx speeds in my R8, then dropping to 349mph the next run! It's partly luck and partly knowing the car, so practice makes perfect! ;)

DE
 
Are you sure? I could never get a Skyline ove 300. I think I got a R34 to 292, but that´s it. They are too much of aeodynamic bricks.
 
Yeah, I would disagree with that too Ghost - None of the 34s seem to be close to capable. A 33 or 32, maybe, because of better aerodynamics and less weight, but it's never been done. The GT-R Proto is more likely because it's more powerful and more aerodynamic than the R34, and it has a fantastic gearbox Remains to be seen, though.

DE
 
I've tried using the Cizeta, figuring 900hp and 16 cylinders might reach the magic 300...but no matter how much I tweaked the gearing or how much nitrous I pumped could get me over even 260. Has anyone succeeded with the Cizeta?
