Hi

Just done my first attempt trying to get to the magical 300mph mark. I have tried two cars, the Nissan Option Stream Z and the Toyota Supra RZ, both tuned to the max. Had some tuning with the tranmission, suspension etc. and I cant get over 294mph. In fact it appears 294.00 mph and I cant find the last 6 mph to make it to the 300mph mark.

Well as a sort of newbie on the forum, can anyone give any tips for achieving 300mph and what gearing you need to do to achieve that mark.

Dam I am so close but yet so far. As well I am trying to get onto the leaderboard of the 300mph without a car used in the list..so thats my mission as well.

Views and comments welcome

Here is my latest results from test track.


Improved Lotus Esprit Sport 350 speed
Old speed 305.16mph -> New speed 313.94mph


Lotus Esprit V8 307.61mph


Lotus Esprit V8GT 304.28mph


Lotus Esprit V8SE 301.09mph

I'll post couple more speeds later.
 
Nice work, guys 👍
I like the stream of Lotus speeds, Shadow :lol:

I'll be away from now until Monday, so please avoid posting any speeds until I let you know I'm back - it stops me having a huge backlog of things to update when I get back. Thanks. :)

Leaderboard Updated - Yeah, the original one. Good, eh? :)

It's now Tuesday, and I am indeed back - however, I will be away again from this Wednesday until next Tuesday or possibly next Wednesday - I'll be travelling to and watching the 24 Heures Du Mans :)

I'm afraid Leaderboard updates will have to wait until I get back then, sorry guys. Nice work, and good luck with your tuning while I'm away 👍

Use different cars, to be blunt. The Option can't do it, and that assumption is backed up by tests of multiple members attempting it. And the Supra? It can do it, yeah, but you need both a lot of experience to do it and (I think) a 10km special.

Yep, a non-6km Supra was the first road car I pushed over 300mph. It certainly wasn't the easiest of cars to push past 300mph, though I eventually got it up to about 302.50mph before the 6km special finally came along. :)

what all this 10km special, 6kn special stuff?

Cars sometimes show up in the used car lots with only 6.2 miles (10 km) on them. They're easy to spot when scrolling through the lists because the mileage is displayed in orange instead of the usual black. The number of low mileage cars, and which cars, varies from week to week. Some weeks there are no 6.2 mile cars available, while in Week 67 (NTSC) there are no less than 16 different ones. There are differences between PAL and NTSC, for instance a 6.2 mile Fiat 500 is available in PAL but not NTSC. A car might be available almost every week in a high mileage version but only one or two weeks with 6.2 miles. An example of this would be the Mazda 323F, which is available in 75 of the 100 weeks in the used car cycle with mileages ranging from 31,253 to 52,251 miles. However in week 30 only it has 6.2 miles (again, NTSC version).

The 6.2 mile cars are for all intents and purposes new cars, not used. They have more horsepower than the high mileage versions and they do not need chassis straightening (rigidity refresher plan). Because of this and also because of their relative rarity they're more highly prized.

Needless to say it's easier to get a car with only 6.2 miles on it up to 300 mph than the same car with 30,000 miles.
 
the other day I bought a nissan skyline gtr n1 with 6.2mi on it
i didnt even know that specific type of skyline was in the game
thats what I do when im bored
buy random cars I dont need
 
Is this thread still going? Surely some kind of record? Are you married yet, Dark Elite? Kids?

Greetings to the one or two who might remember – from the early days!

Answers to your questions, respectively: yes, possibly, no, I'd better check... :lol:
Nice to see you around again, Ozmac, it's certainly been a while. Hope to see you blasting around the test track, or, at least, see the results of said blasting 👍

Anyways, the observant ones among you will have noticed by now that I'm back (having caught an earlier ferry), extremely tired and slightly hung over but otherwise none the worse for my little trip. Audi's win was a foregone conclusion at the start, but Aston Martin Racing really did deserve to be victorious at last. And the T-shirt I was wearing had the 009 DBR9 on it, too :D

Back to the topic...
the razgriz, you made an off-topic post to admit that you made an off-topic post... This thread may well hold some sort of record for unbroken posting life or outright number of posts (outside the Rumble Strip, of course), we don't really need useless posts knocking up our count. Cheers.

Been waiting a couple of days to post these and i'm guessing that you've had a good time given the hang over. I've been playing around and got three speeds to post. The Viper and Supra speeds are actually quite old but finding it hard to improve on them so figured I might as well post them now; as for the Skyline, I wondered why everyone was using a different version of the Skyline to me and it shows, just by changing the car to the V-spec II Nur version I got a few extra mph with near enough the same settings as on my other Skyline (though without a rollcage if that makes any difference).


Dodge Viper SRT10: 300.33mph




Toyota Supra RZ: 305.32mph




Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II Nur: 327.44mph [Replay]




Probably won't be doing anymore for quite a while since I'm going on a couple of holidays (Hong Kong and Magaluf) but I'm pretty happy with these as they are.

Nice work with the Skyline, but I'll let you know now that I already have a quicker run with the car from a few weeks back. It's the second road car I've managed to break 330mph with, and I think I can push it past 335 with just a little more fine tuning.

I'll post the screenshot/video on the weekend when I can get back to my desktop. I would have posted it before, but I wanted some of the Skyline Squadron guys to reclaim the record first. 👍
