What does rm stand for? I've never really used a standard car. Does the Zonda R count since its road legal in some places? I suppose I can do around 6.40 with that thing with racing softs and an oil change.
 
Rm stand for race modification. Not sure about the Zonda R. I guess as long as it doesn't have an rm or race car in the name it is a normal road car. In general I mean cars like the Audi R8, any "normal" Ferrari, Lamborghini etc.
 
Well I dont think any of the other 'Road cars' will get better than the Zonda R. It becomes a Zonda R race. LOL The Enzo without tuning is considerably slower.
 
mmg. It took me 6:38.253 sec to finish a round in a tuned zonda r. i lost tons of second while "accelerating" out of sharper corners. the x button wasnt sensitive enough. guess i have to change x to l2 later and change the setup of this car a little bit. it is a monster on the fast parts but hard to control in the slower parts.

So far I have only had one normal car with any speed out there for a run and that was in an online race. I turned a 7:03 in a 67 Cougar XR7 but it was an ugly lap. I could definitely go faster.

The Zonda R is basically a race car btw so I would not count that one nor the Stealth McLaren F1

As far as I know the R in Zonda-R stands for Race
 
So far my only stock car lap was with the NSX-R as it was bought(Sports Hard came with the car). And I just changed the brake bias. 7:56.xx. Ran a 7:10 on a XJ-13 on Sport Medium instead of the race hard...
 
Ok fair enough. I never considered the Zonda R as a roadcar either. Just got a 6:47.176 in my red Audi R8 5.2. I love this car. The 4wd makes it a really forgiving car.
 
x1 in 5mins 19seconds

x1 would not be a normal road car


I just did a lap with an Enzo the other day. i forgot to look at the lap time though, as I was just trying to finish a championship. I'm not particularly good in this track tho, so it was probably low 7s

i'll do it again tonight.
 
Most fully modded on race softs. No aids, no driving line, ABS1, TCS0.

6:25 GT-R SpecV '09
6:28 Ford GT '06
6:50 Dodge Challenger SRT '08
6:43 BMW M3
6:52 Camaro SS '10 (Sport Soft, no tune)
6:51 Trans-Crammer (Sport Soft, no tune)
6:24 390 Road Car
6:28 Mclaren F1

I have seen ZondaR in low 6's like 09's etc but the non R road car is considerably slower.

There is more I got a big list at home.
 
I did 7:25:XXX with the stock GT-R from arcade mode in time trial (when I was trying to win the trophie)

The 6:43 with the BMW ist great, because I can imagine doing it. I am not even as fast as this with an almost 300hp stronger full tuned Audi R8 5.2 on racing softs. Quite impressive to me 👍
 
Okay, I ran 3 cars. All were totally stock with no tuning and race soft tires. "Street legal"

1.) Pagani Zonda R (6:17.130)

2.) Mercedes SLS AMG (6:52.916)

3.) Audi R8 4.2 (7:15.29)


The Zonda was the first car I ran.....I drove this car to a 6:23 in Need For Speed Shift a few months ago and so was expecting a much slower time than I got there. I was pleasantly surprised to be a few seconds up on my NFS Shift time. The car stuck really firmly, and it took alot of thumb pressure from the controller I'm using.

The Mercedes was the last car I ran. Much more power than the Audi, I hit 190 mph down the dottinger strait very briefly. Nice.

The Audi was under powered but drove very nicely. By far this is the easiest car to drive. It struggled to make it over 165 mph down the strait. A bit of understeering at times slows it down in some of the successive corners towards the end, IMO.

That is a road M3 with 500hp not the GTR M3. Under 7 in the road M3 are good times. The lowest hp car in the lot (390 road car) is the fastest. I have done probably 100 laps in my Audi R8 LMS and can only reach 6:31 in it and I feel thats pretty fast with no aids.

Wait, are you saying you didn't use the race soft tires, or you did and they are "street legal"??

I took the Zonda R around the track in 6.11 ... The replay is in the video section (Track edge is real)

However, this thread is pointless BECAUSE if you do it in practice you get two different times, for example:

Test Car - Corvette ZR-1 C6 (RM)

Track Edge Setting set to real - 6.16 (Standing lap during online race)

Track edge setting set to low - 6.07 (scruffy lap so that will probably go down to sub 5)

So if we are going to have this thread then can we say what is your fastest time, in practice, with the real / low track edge and then we'll get some fair comparisons going ;)

Race softs, no tuning, arcade mode. :crazy: I guess with street legal tires it'd be slower. But how much, who knows. What is that defined as, comfort soft tires, sports softs?

While I do run the race softs myself for the most part when in practice or arcade mode, they are far from street legal. And you don't see them on standard road cars.

On a completely unrelated note, I found it hilarious that I did a 7:00.xx in a RM'd Elise that only had 244 hp. That was done with whatever tires came on the car after the RM. You can drive most of the track with the accelerator to the floor.

huh. I just did 6:30.083 with the sports softs. Zonda R again, practice mode. Track edge real.

Wasn't trying to take anything away from your lap times. I was just referring to what I thought the OP was actually asking. The Zonda R isn't exactly a "normal road car", and normal road cars don't run racing soft tires. You also can't apply the kind of downforce to a normal car that you can the Zonda R. It might as well be a race car.

Those are all edge real..online mode times no aids no nothing but my pedal and wheel :)

But on a side note a RM Vette is not a street car :)
 
MMM....in real life Zonda does not allow their car to be street driven, atleast I thought I read that somewhere....Although technically it meets the emissions laws?? I;m not extremely informed on the topic. Anyways, I think if we all ran the same car, The Nissan GTR 07 for example, and used the full track boundries that would give a good indicator of a realistic street legal car....Using the sports softs.
 
The zonda r was not a road car it was much like the Ferrari fxx. Customers buy the car but can only drive them on track they have private track time on tracks as this car was not FIA approved which meant it couldn't compete in pretty much any formal race series and it was not built to be a road car it was built with being a road legal track car in mind, but I don't think that ever happened. And it just became an exclusive car like the fxx that can only be driven on private track days with I guess the other zonda r's
Basically rich assed mother sons of bitches got them
The normal zonda from used cars is road car but not the r


I've done the ring in
7:07 in a nismo R32 skyline
7:27 in a ep3 civic type r
7:35 in a spoon civic ek9 (285hp)
