Zonda R '09 FTW!

[cheso]

I just got this car, have it fully tuned and optimized, with racing soft tyres. It's just awesome! What I want to ask is: Is this one of the best cars in the game? (Like in the top 30 or so?)

 

[Hayden]

Production cars? May well be #1 for lap speed

 

[dabest2500]

Best in terms of?

 

[cheso]

Best in terms of?

...speed, acceleration, grip (with the right tyres of course), etc.

 

[dabest2500]

*sigh*
Does that mean we need to talk about the bloody X1 then...

 

[GTP_Monkey]

No there are far better le-man cars out there,
mazda 787B
sauber mercedes
minolta toyota
peugeot 908
to name a few.

 

[Falango]

For 'road' cars this has to be the best. It sounds amazing, looks great, and it's a monster on the track. I absolutely love driving this car. For overall cars in the game, I put it in my top 5 for the enjoyment factor.

The Zonda R is not a Le Mans car. The cars you are comparing to it are not in the same class at all.

The zonda filled a nice gap before I got the minolta. Still enjoy using the zonda around laguna seca.

It has a difficult time getting traction in the first 3 gears unless you're using TCS or a wheel. Once you get used to it's incredible response then you'll like it. The car is just GONZO fast.

Nice feedback! Fully agree.

I haven't seen a decent thread in a week...

 

[StowStud]

I was tryin to see if I could win Indy 500 with it, got to lap 22 and the tires was to bald and I spun in one of the turns, restarted decided to pit on lap 20, by lap 20 I was 22 seconds ahead of first, and out the pits was 1 lap down. On lap 25 got back pass the leader so I unlaped my self, then on lap 33 one of the other cars tapped my back end and sent me spinning so I quit. I think it is do able but the other cars don't pit until about lap 40, so I would be hoping the lapped cars slow the leader down enough when he get behind them for me to make up the time

 

[will4noobs]

got a feeling the mclaren F1 might be even match for the zonda

would have to test it though

 

[Raitziger]

There is no class to Zonda R. It does not follow Le Mans regulations or road car regulations. (you can not race the car or drive it on street in real life )

 

[Fredde_swe]

I think the Zonda R is OK but that's it.

Would preferred to see the Zonda F or Cinque in game cause they look better and are road legal. The R is just fast but kind of pointless.

 

[Big Ron]

He didn´t ask for street legal cars only, but for all cars in the game. And to draw a line: within street legal cars, it is one of the best....all in all NO

 

[ZEROX]

The grip. The speed are the best next to X1 and F2007.
It's good for not turning off the TC.
Or else you'll be drifting along the corner.

 

[cheso]

A bit off topic, but if I paint the Zonda for example, and don't like the color, will I be able to restore it or do I just have to turn off the game before it saves?

Turn off the game before it save.
Well, save word is save thing.lol.
I don't how to explain but do it before it save.

Yep, I get it, it just kinda seemed right to say "it saves", don't know why, but thanks for the explanation anyway.

The Zonda R is like the Ferrari FXX. A "race" car that is based on a fast road car but stripped out.

So it isn't road legal, but it isn't a proper track racer... it's an 'inbetweener'

I'd say its easily in the top 30. Brilliant piece of kit, and Bob loves it 👍

No problem.

Some fact about Zonda R.
It's not street legal.
It's a hybrid of extreme racing car and supercar.
Too loud and too extreme for the road.

But that car is a monster! 👍

 

[cheso]

Good enough for "Like the Wind" with Bob?

Don't know about that though.

 

[BigMackAttack]

I think this car looks good naked or in Formula Red via the Amuse GT1 Turbo
I love it, it would be beast at drifting if it wasnt so powerful, imo
jeez, its loud too
my brother saw it in europe, he said it was the loudest thing he ever heard
i put it on a friends surround sound
so loud the neighbors complained
i like the look, just the details look outof place in that bottom corner
in my top 10 for sure

The Zonda R is a little nervy in the first few gears in terms of grip and throttle control. Ease the throttle when you come out of slow turns, as all the power can be difficult to control at times.

Very useful car for raising the level of your low-level B-Spec drivers, and good for the Expert Series events where it's eligible.

Yes, I only bought it yesterday, and still struggling with the DS3 with TC off. Awesome

You're using Racing softs, that have more to do with altering your car's handling than the Zonda's setup.

Don't feel bad. I won it earlier this week from B spec and I'm still struggling with the DFGT with TC off. I'm really happy with the tune right now, but if you mess up and get on the gas just a LITTLE too much coming out of a corner in any gear below 4th and you're going to spin. Putting together 5 clean, fast laps for the GT All Stars Championship has been impossible so far, but I'm getting better. Here's hoping this car will prepare me for the Formula GT in a few levels.
