hey guys.
today, I was on my Driving Force GT, testing out heaps of road cars on Daytona Road Course.
all cars are manual, and have a oil change, apart from that, they are stock.
here are my results...

1st place Mclaren F1 1.51.717
2nd place Ferrari Enzo 1.51.909
3rd place Mclaren MP4-12c 1.54.164
4th place Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 1.55.022
5th place Corvette ZR1 1.56.943
6th place Dodge Viper ACR 1.57.173


so, from these results, you can see that the F1 and Enzo are very fast. and why is that so?
Daytona Road Course (possibly my new fav track now), has chicanes, many high speed parts (300kph ish) and parts where you brake from 300kph to 100kph

the Mclaren F1 and Ferrari Enzo had astonishing brakes, and the chicanes parts were very easy, these cars are ideal for throwing into chicanes at high speeds.
 
also, the Mclaren F1 and Ferrari Enzo were the fastest accerating cars, and used there light weight and high power very well on this track.

Mclaren MP4-12c? that car was 3rd place, but it lacked power. The brakes were good, but not as good as enzo or mclaren F1, the car was also heavier.
overall, it would be as fast as a F1 or a Enzo if it had more power, and better brakes.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP670? that car was in 4th place, I am very dissapointed.
I have driven this car many times before, convinced that its the fastest road car in the game. however, its not :O
the car is extremely heavy and far from a light weight (1560 kilos). although it has plenty of power, it does not use it well on the road like a F1 or a Enzo.
the murcielago's brakes and cornering were average, although the 4wd makes it easy to drive, but 4wd also means you can't reach the limit of the car

Corvette? extreme power, lighter than a Murcielago (1507 I think)
but the car is still more on the muscle car side than the supercar side. the cornering is ok, but its terrible at transferring weight in a chicane.
the brakes were alright, overall, its a good car, but theres stuff out there thats better

Viper? I was expecting this to be very fast also, but no, because its a bit heavy, the massive torque made it hard to corner especially in the chicane. cornering is really good though, and the brakes were epic, but not as good as Enzo or F1.
yes, 1 did a 1.57, but I could have done a 1.54 (I had more laps in the other cars than the Viper)
 
Sorry to interrupt, but I like to mention 2 things that will help with your thread:

1) Try to edit your OP instead of double-posting, mkay? 👍

2) Try moving this (if you can) to the GT5 General Discussion ;)


Nevertheless, nice times and performance reviews 👍

I understand you're new to this forum. I'm just stating a couple of tips to improve your feedback a bit 👍 Also, try to get in the habit of capitalizing before starting a sentence, as grammar is the notion around here 👍
 
blah blah blah, seriously, nobody cares about grammer. this is a place to talk about Gran Turismo, not English Class

Sorry, but I don't make the rules around here. Discuss it with a moderator, kay?
 
This is a place where you will need to watch the grammar it's in the AUP which you agreed to joining. Other then that welcome to GTPlanet :)
 
I don't usually drive stock cars, but I'm pretty sure the F1 should be the fastest stock road car not only on Daytona, but on almost any circuit... 👍
 
A Veyron and a Saleen S7 would be around the top of the list if added. I am a little suprised at the Enzo's speed but maybe that car just doesn't like my driving.
F1 is still at the peak of supercars 16 years on.

I don't know about the Veyron, the thing has only a slight chance due to the track being half oval..

Exactly i could care less about how these cars stack up against each other on a half oval, or a stupid track like le mans

throw them into a technical course
 
Just looking at the list im surprised, i'm sure the ZR1 and the Enzo should be trading spots, i might give it a go tomorrow.

You know, I wasn't going to say anything aobut your grammar, or the double post, but that post above shows a lack of respect for us and our users.

We do not expect perfect English but we would like you to use English to the best of your ability. We ask this as GTP is an international site and we wish to make it readable and understandable to folk that are using English as a 2nd or 3rd language.

So, just watch your posts, use the edit button instead of double posting, and keep that attitude in check. Thanks.

Oh, and why does the thread title say Daytona, but the poll says Nurburgring?

I think it's to predict which car will be fastest according to results obtained on Daytona Road Course, as according to the OP says they both have similar corners and elevations.
 
McLaren F1 is easily the fastest on nurburgring, capable of going under 7 minutes with sport hard tires and with no oil change (stock). All the other cars can't go even under 7:10 barring LP670, so the fastest is the McLaren. And by far, I tested a lot of stock road cars on other tracks like Nurburgring GP/F, Spa and Suzuka, and the fastest was every time the McLaren. The Veyron is even faster than the McLaren, but I rarely use it because I don't like the bad understeer this car has.
 
I'm voting for the Mclaren F1 about which car is gonna be the winner at the Ring...

The Veyron is perhaps only remarkably fast on oval tracks with few layout of corners the weight being too heavy hampering the immediate deceleration of the car in approaching each section of turnings...

The Mclaren F1 is a little bit inferior to Veyron in maximum speed and promptitude of acceleration from 0 mph as it's not supposed to be extremely fast in acceleration - the distinctive feature of the car is the lightness and proportion of distribution of load(car weight) enabling it to have a swifter response at turnings, when it comes to overall performance The F1 come to superiority to most of its rivals in my opinion.
