right now, i am trying to get the fastest lap on midfield, and right now i have gotten my 300zx 2dr twin turbo down to 1.09.718, and need too know if there are ways to get my times lower, and if anyone has used this car, and what are there fastest times. Also what are everyones fastest times, w/out using the racecars.

Mid-Field Raceway

393 mrsmooth Nissan 1998 300ZX 2 by 2 680 MT FR 5/29/02 4:06 AM Dual Shock 2 1:08.809

409 Johnboy Nissan 1998 300ZX 2 by 2 911 AT FR 5/3/03 11:13 PM Dual Shock 2 1:09.304

they are the only submitted times in the 300ZX at Midfield

EDIT: mr smooth's time seems a bit strange with that power
 
right now the mods are basically everything, but i think i have a pretty good suspension setup, I am running around 903hp, but when i saved my replay it said 881, so i don't know. 1.08 with a 2+2, that is crazy. you would think with all the extra wieght, it would barley get 1.11, i am going to have to try that car out. I have been messing with the evo 7, and i have got my time down to 1.10, maybe with a lil more fine tuning, i would be able to get it!!
 
A GT-One Road Car will break a minute, easily.
 
that's why i wrote no racecars, i know it says road car, but you don't see those on the road. Plus, i think it is better, with street cars, cuz it is good to fel that you are capable of tuning you own car, to be one the fastest gt cars out there!!
 
Of course, the Toyota GT-One Road Car IS a Road Car, as it's allowed in both the Trial Mountain 2hr Endurance and the Polyphony Digital Cup.

How far down the "road car" scale do you want to go? TS020 Road Car, R390 Road Car, TVR Speed 12, Jaguar XJ220 Road Car, Ford GT40 Road Car, Ruf RGT, Pagani Zonda?

Well, I'd say Nismo GTR-LM is the limit... basically any street car with a track-only sibling, like the Beetle RSi or Clio Sport

Famine, I know you're a bright guy and want to show off to everybody, but please, stop with the scientific nonsense.

Scientific nonsense? Showing off?

It takes great scientific knowledge to know that the GT-One Road car is a road car considering that the road car bit is in the car's name. Is he showing off because he knows that and no-one else does?

And you can argue whether the GT-One should be a road car until the cows come home, but that's not what the topic is about. The topic is about fastest lap of midfield without using racecars. That lap will be done by the GT-One road car.

Whu?

How is saying what the quickest road car in the game will lap - and thus answering the question - either "showing off" or "scientific nonsense"? You make no sense.

I don't understand this either. Are you saying that the Nismo GT-R LM is the upper or lower limit?

The TVR Speed 12 is a road car. It has a track only sibling which, importantly, is derived from the road car. The Nismo GT-R LM on the other hand is a road car derived from the track car - in line with homologation regulations at the time it raced. It thus falls into the same category as the TS020 Road Car and R390 Road Car. If you exclude one from the list, you must exclude the others.

The quickest road cars are:
Toyota TS020 GT-One Road Car (derived from LM racer)
Nissan R390 LM GT1 Road Car (derived from LM racer)
TVR Speed 12 (purpose built as road car)
Jaguar XJ220 (purpose built as a road car - with GT derivative)
Ruf RGT (road car)
Ford GT40 Road Car (derived from LM racer)
Pagani Zonda C12-S (purpose built as road car)

So, if you want to exclude the cars derived from racers, the Speed 12 is the quickest. If you want to exclude that too because it's too quick, the XJ220 is the quickest. If that's excluded because it's too rare, the Ruf RGT is the quickest - seeing as how it's based on the not-very-rare Porsche 996 911 GT3. You may want to exclude this too - for some reason. Then it's the Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept car - but this is a concept, so you may want to ditch that. That gives us the Lotus Esprit Sport 350 or it's more common and almost as quick sibling, the V8 SE.

Just selecting road cars only (that means no Tommy kaira ZZII, as GT3 classes it as a race car) and top 1000 times at GT3Times gives the following records:

Toyota 1999 GT-One (TS020) Road Car (1122hp) 0:56.218
Ruf 2000 RUF R-GT (1099hp) 0:59.739
Pagani 2000 Zonda C12S (1128hp) 1:00.116
TVR 2000 Speed 12 (1070hp) 1:00.299
Nissan 1998 R390 GT1 Road Car (997hp) 1:00.314
Dodge 2000 Viper GTS/R Concept Car (980hp) 1:01.447
Lotus 2000 Esprit Sport 350 (1089hp) 1:02.147
 
Let's include the Speed 12, Zonda, and RGT, as these all started out as road cars, the rest i know for sure started out as full race cars, and then were detuned for the road. In my opinion i consider this as cheating. but if you want to include you fastest times from DETUNED RACECARS, go right ahead.
 
Indeed - the Speed 12, which broke TVR's 1000hp-rated dynomometer, had to be detuned to race...!
 
Dude, famine. I was jus playin wit you. I should have put some lol's or sarcasm tags 'round it. All I meant was you were stating the blatant obvious, thas all. :)
 
Are any of you competing in the weekly race series?????? I think i want to compete, that would be awesome!!!!!!!!
 
SVT 716 hp 1m 06.853 secs GT40 road car 1m 05.512 secs famine needs to take some stupid pills to fit in. :crazy: or maybe just bang his head a hundred times a day with an irion skillet before logging on. :dunce: move to a trailer park and raise chickens :dunce: :dunce:
 
Let's see, you would think an 1000hp supra wouldn't get around the track quick enough, but that thing is fast. i got around midfield in 1.07.178, or something like that, i don't remember the exact time, but it was in the 1.07's. Plus, i got 1.09.174 with the 300z. i am going to try to do some more fine tuning on the 300z, and beat the supra's time, well atleast i will try to beat it. i think they held back alil to much on the 300z. I know the vg30dett is capable of enormous power, i should know, i own one, and soon to be N/A to TT. This engine is a super engine, damn gt creators. Well hopefully in gt4, they will realize this mistake and correct it.
 
Mazda RX-7 RZ: 1'04.144
Mazda RX-8: 1'07.759

I've also pushed a lightly modified RGT to 1'09.149. The same car was used by Slowpoke, and he pushed to 1'08.460.

Hello 4genZX & Welcome 👍 to the GTP Forums!

:D Kool Thread! I always like thoughtful challenges such as this.

As Famine has already pointed out the ZZ II is mis-labled in the game as a "Race Car" :odd: but I found a "Well Used" one on a memeory card & within 3 Laps turned in a "Clean" 58.953'.
The same programmer is probably responsible for the error, (also pointed out by Famine a few days ago) that has the Altezza LM car listed as a "Road Car." :odd::odd: BUT since the game says it's a Road Car I ran it for 6-8 Laps anyway. Results = a Clean 59.421' with LOTS more time to be found.

I know these two "Rides" probably aren't in the "Spirit" of your Challenge & hope you don't mind my throwing them in...UB57 :D
 
"WOW", can't believe a Kool thread like this is goin' dormant!!! :odd:
Found a clapped out Zonda C12S w/1230 miles on the clock & "Only" 797HP (I believe there's still 300+HP in 'er) & ran a quick 1'02.676 with more to be found. Still gonna be tough even w/a fresh one w/MAX HP to break into the 1'00.xxx area. (BRAKES would bean enormous HELP!)
THANX Again 4genZX 👍...UB57 :D

EDIT: TV "Bad" tonite so I gave this a shot w/1026 HP. 1/2 hour of "fiddling" & about 15 Laps = 1'00.470 Looks like a "Sub" 1'00 "Might" be possible :eek::eek::eek:
 
Wow, i haven't really thought of the zonda, but man that is fast...right now i am seeing what the r34 gtr can do. It should clock a quick time considering it does have attesa ets, and is considered one of japan's best cornering cars. but i can't still shake the fact of the supra being quicker than the Z, the z has hicas and the supra doesn't, i just don't get it. Well i guess i just have to face it!

I managed to get a 1:03.954 with lotus espirit v8 se (1063 hp) 2 tcs 0 asm
 
300ZX Twin Turbo 2 seater 925hp (not fully broken in): 1:06.588

RX-7 RZ 709hp 1:03.916

The reason the 300ZX is so slow is because it handles like ass. It could go into the 1:05's easily with a good lap, but that's really hard in that POS.
 
there's no need for downsizing a 300z, This is game, i would like for you to say that the 300z, is pos to steve millen, and se his remark to you. The 300zx is a beautiful car, it is a little on the heavy side, which is why it is little hard to handle, but the 300z is a supercar.
 
Oh, and by the way, i got a 1.06.XXX with the R34 GTR, i am sure i can get lower, if i can just get it to corner quicker.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend you personally.

I was just referring to the game. It doesn't turn or handle very well in the game. There are many great cars in the game that they don't do justice to. The 300ZX being one of them.

That being said, I still put up a respectable time for it compared to all the other regular sports cars. It's just hard to drive is all. Maybe with a majic set-up from one of the imortals it would be better?
