Hehe, so be it. I think I only did stage 1 lightening on the Camaro so I've got a bit of room smile Still not too far removed from "normal" performance road cars.
only because the stage one weight removal on the CSL took it from 1375kg (I think) to 12xxkg something :blast:



I'll gladly set a series up for these if we can get enough interest smile

shout400bhp max, 1200kg min, SPORTS TYRES (whatever sports compound you like)



any takers

I've shamelessly copied Goodwood and got a classic cooper, mine's a nice blue though.

Can't we all have different cars?, it won't be as good if people start buying the same cars and tuning them the same....

You need a more noddy car Goodwood! Your car is cool as standard so really it's not eligible! hehe

I'm going to earn some money and develop a new beast at some stage! I saw a car today that I hope is in GT5. A proton savvy!!!

I just hope my old 1978 Allegro is available. That'll show you all. A little know fact: It's even more aerodynamic going backwards.

it's only norbury who feels the need to cheat
weight in at something under 800kg
I didn't cheat! My car isn't faster anyway, it's your one which is slower... my car is slightly heavier than everyone elses too.

I need to check if the old Nissan Micra is in the game, i'm so having one if it is!
i might have brought an old nissan micra, althought i'm not giving to much away biggrin

i feel your pain, sorry to bore with my figures. I spent 240k on a subaru 360 to find it onyl had 3 gears what meant 60mph :/. Then spent 160k on a wagin r rr to find it's st. And 275k on my winged blue thing which on average is two-3 seconds of the pace :'( There should be a way before you spend all your money to see what figures are possible save so much time, money and frustration!

There is a demo in the used car section but i don't know if you just watch a video of the cars or if you get a test drive.

To keep everyone happy i have done some more work to my Lupo, i clearly missed some of the mods yesterday. I have adjusted the camber, ride height, spring rate and gearing so after my expert mechanical work i'm sure it will handle like a bag of st!

I shall be on aound 19:30 for a few practice runs before the main event.

If anyone wants in on the Noddy Car Championship tonight, add me to PSN, PulseTurbo. We'll kick off around 9pm.

Remember, the noddier the better, and try to get near-ish to our stats else it's just plain boring! biggrin

My car is 606kg and 140bhp. I believe Norbury's car is about 800kg and 230bhp, and Goodwood's Mini must be around 600kg by tonight with 185bhp. I'm losing in the power stakes right now!! You need some worse cars biggrin Norbury's car is definitely noddy though!

My Ford is 858kg and 229bhp. Have built a new car for tonight - 162 bhp and 753kg, but it's pedestrian compared to the Ford so I may slap a Turbo on it.

I don't have enough money to keep building cars so I have to stick with what I have for now!
