The 300SL is a little more, but also a bit heavier. @DrifterJoe sent me performance stats for it.

Yep, the regular car has 330hp and 1059kg at WSC spec and the chromeline has 344hp and 1099kg without the power limiter. If you leave the chromline's power at 344hp, both cars have nearly identical power to weight ratios (3.20 and 3.19 according to GT6).
 
Rusty finds a loophole and its legal, nice 👍

For some reason, my standard 300SL has 337hp with all parts installed. Should it be restricted then...?

By the way, I have tested GT-O's at Daytona and Monza so far. My suggestions for BoP...

BMW, Ferrari, Shelby: all on par
300SL & Corvette: about 0.8s too fast.
Jaguar: About 1.5-2s too slow.

Shelby is the only one to have power restriction applied so far (370->350hp), 300SL was at 337hp, so maybe that's why it's too fast.

Probably case with 309SL. I'll hop on quickly and check myself.

Is the P4 going to be able to keep up? 40-60 BHP reduction seems a bit extreme.

210kg less than others though, it is so agile. BoP to be assessed at the Rolex on Sunday evening.
 
The regular SL300 does need the power limiter to reach 330hp.

I've tested the stock XJ13 against the stock Daytona and they are even around Bathurst. I think I'll use the Daytona though.
 
Put me down as a reserve XJ13 as Joe is using the Daytona

I just don't like how it handles stock. If any setups existed for it, I'd probably use it. Right now I can only find GT6 setups for 2 GT-P cars.
 
Any lap times I should be expecting in GT-O at Daytona?
 
Excellent, I'm on pace then. :D It's going to be great, so excited!

And thats precisely why I've held on to GT6, totally rediscovered my love for the game!

I really enjoyed my 28 lap stint in the Mk IV. GT-O, how are your tyres and fuel looking?

Sounded like you did! erm if I can stay out of trouble I'm confident I can one stop.

Reminder 1 stop is mandatory. Indeed it is required in lobby settings.
 
Yeah I meant I'm going to have to stop once for fuel/tyres but any others will be through mistakes...

2 stop here, just. Wouldn't be surprised if Le Mans we run till the fuel runs dry.

That's still a huge improvement! I can't remember how many laps I did at daytona but my tyres didn't get below 9 and that's pretty impressive for the Mustang!

After 28 laps I had 4 in the rear, and 8 in the fronts!

You need to stop getting so sideways then ;)

Edit: Just found this pic... I definitely chose wisely with the colours

That's crazy, my tyre wear is pretty even

Bathurst i'm encouraged. 2:06.1 for me and I know a mid to low 05 is possible. I could drive for 4 hours on that track, love it. Overtaking will be scary though.

I'm feeling confident about Bathurst too, the generic tune I'm using works really well there. Oh god I'm not looking forward to getting lapped D:
