What mods did you do to that Integra btw???Originally posted by Pulse414
Thank you Shinez, for being the voice of reason...I hate Camaros! Have any of you Camaro lovers managed gold on license test A-7? I finally did after about 2 hours, by only .021 seconds. It was hell! It really demonstrated the effects of heavy weight, poor chassis balance, and ancient suspension design. BTW the other day I entered the Seattle enduro in a US spec Integra Type R, and stomped the American field (2nd thru 6th: Corvette Z06, Mustang SVT, Viper GTS, Camaro SS, Camaro Z28) by over 13 seconds, despite their love for slamming my little front driver into walls with their massive weight. Score one for the Japanese!

Just got back from the Seattle enduro...man am I sick of getting bullied by big muscle cars. I ran my stock Lotus Elise 190, 196hp with T3 fronts/T2 rears. It was tough coming up on the AI in the turns, only to watch them speed away on the straights. I spent most of the race in 4th place, concentrating on the proper line in order to not lose time to the AI. It finally paid off at the end of lap 35 as I passed the Z06, Mustang, and Viper in the pits. I had made my pit stop on lap 20 and still had light green/yellow on all 4 tires.Here's how it all ended:
Lotus Elise 190 1:11'19.630
Corvette Z06 +8.577
Mustang SVT +16.421
Viper GTS +20.615
Camaro Z28 +1'18.005
Camaro SS +1 lap
Keep in mind that these American muscle cars have twice as much power as my Lotus, and couldn't beat it even on a track with long high-speed sections. C'mon, admit it, American cars are weak...
Injected, I think I'll have to agree with you on the fact that the AI drive like 3-year-olds. The idea of "Emotion AI" is great but man it doesn't work worth a damn! I always do my best to race a clean race, but no matter how much room I give the AI they still crash into me, run me into walls and basically just piss me off. The Seattle enduro is actually one of the absolute worst races in the game for this exact reason. Between track layout and the behavior of the AI, its almost impossible to make a clean pass without being slammed. I've found that unless your car has a lot higher hp than the AI, your best bet is to wait to pass until after the last chicane before the finish line, where the AI brake too heavily and usually lose about a second to a driver taking the proper line. That way you can pass 'em on the front straight, but be careful or they'll drive you into the wall on the 1st corner. Trying to pass these guys in the corners usually results in black-flag action (if this were real racing!). I'll try the race in a stock Z06, but I'm not looking forward to it. 
Focus, Mondeo (Contour), Escort Cosworth, RS200, etc... just a very few of the cars that make me resent living in america!

Focus rally car is awesome (I personally like it better than any of the cars in this poll) but you can barely call it american! Sure Ford is an american company but the good Fords always come from Europe.
