Good point, hopefully it'll be ok though.
The difference is only 8 bhp so should be OK
463pp (315hp)
467pp (323hp)

Uhm, I was doing 2:06's even without the boost (300hp), so 463PP should be plenty. I'll try it tonight and report the outcome.

Well you can go back to 457PP then we're all equal
Personally I think Furi should have a system like BTCC but instead of added ballast you get a reduction in PP instead if you do well and an increase if you do badly.
EG
1st -10PP
2nd -5PP
3rd -0PP
4th +5PP
5th +10PP
Over 6th +10PP
Yeah. Corvette could do 2:06s easily, could maybe even crack 2:05s on a flyer at 457pp.

Daytona testing with the Vette, fully run in:
PP / hp / laptime
457 / 298 / 2:06.1 👍
463 / 314 / 2:05.3
467 / 325 / 2:04.5![]()

snow your not human xdd
should have tested the vette myself *d´oh*
just leave them cars the way they are. Stratos at eiger is horrible but daytona is okish, if you get the bus-stopchicanes always right and the first turn always right.
That where my findings. Stratos kills you if your one moment unfocused.
But 05.0 is heavy => respecing the stratos is ok.
Vette was ok too like the camaro.
Both are stable and are good on the out-acceleration, where other cars suffer.
Re-spec the cars after a fast and a twisty track, that is my opinion.
I did a 2:06.4xx as fastest time without draft in the z28 (but it isn´t fully ran in 313bhp after leaving lobby) and 06.6´s as "normal" times.
With draft under 06 is possible i think.
Point taken but your missing something. The Vette has neither good acceleration or top end speed at 457PP.
I was trying to even the odds but Snowcrash the alien comes along and Pi$$e$ on my bonfire.
Uh-unh. No alien here by a long shot. But you're right, the Vette is not the fastest on acceleration and top speed at all. It's got good braking and turning capabilities though that let you attack more than most other cars.
Here's a tip (if you don't do it already): change gears at 5.000 rpm or only slightly over. You lose a lot of time when you rev to the red line (which is somewhere around 5.500 or so). That also means you have to set the gears long enough so you rev in that area on max speed. You can also short shift on some occasions to be earlier on the throttle in Daytona. It's basically 4 180° turns, so you need that speed coming out of them. And that means you have to carry more speed through them (because you can't rely on brute power with the Vette), so brake early enough and be smooth through the corner. There's also a lot of lap time in the chicane. Brake and then coast through each entry & exit without much turning of the wheel. And that concludes my being a smarta..![]()
I took the chicane in fourth gear in my E-Type. The only corner I took in second was the International Horseshoe. All other corners were taken in third, fourth, or fifth. Going a gear higher than normal really does help cut down on wheelspin when re-applying the power.

Daytona laps are made or broken on the bus-stop, you can lose half a second or more very easily if you don't get it done right. The key is to get the second part of it right. Being a bit slow through the first part will only lose you a tenth or two, whereas being too slow out of the second bit will cost you time all the way down the banking and straight.
Contrasting styles though, as you say you coast through the entry, whereas on the second part I flick the brake with my left foot (and lift) to shift the weight forward and tuck the nose in towards the kerb, at the same time steering hard to the right, then immediately get hard on the power to settle the car and power out.
Steering lightly throughout the whole corner v.s. steering hard at first and straighter on exit.
Can I have some GT cars sent to me for some testing (standard cars)? Mine all have engine and weight stage 3 on.
Still looking for these.
Crap. Did have a Stratos but got rid.
Will send an Alpine
EDIT: Alpine sent. Jag tomorrow.
Add me (sagarismic) and I'll send the Cobra, Stratos for sure, maybe the Mustang (I'm not sure if I even have one low mileage car).Thanks Fox.👍
That leaves the cobra, stratos, and mustang.

After much discussion it has been decided that the Corvette will be returned to 457pp with IMMEDIATE EFFECT.
