I'll drop purple if someone higher-ranked than me wants it, but I'm going out on a limb to assume not

Trial Mountain first, wahey, love it..

well someone kind of has but will soon find out if they want it as their first pick or not

My other choice, the Camaro '69 is down to 248bhp at 1300kg. Arse nuggets.

Back to testing again.

how did you manage that? i was getting about 280hp off it with about 1400kg iirc

Allaloneatron said:

Ah those colours come with a great PH championship pedigree. They were mine last time and if you look at the last champ, you will see I did rather well. You are welcome to use them this time.

guessing after season 3 you wont be running all nissans again

fr sent and tables updated

[CJ1987]

Alfanatic said:

I've updated my car entries, bear in mind I haven't actually driven any of them yet so they might change if they turn out to be rubbish (and not Alfas)

trust me you'll like the rx-8 and GT

[CJ1987]

Alfanatic said:

Has anyone tried the Z4? I haven't seen it come up in conversation yet (that I remember) and it looks like a reasonable S2000 alternative, I believe it's about 425pp standard?

yeah its a good car at 450pp, handles well like like most bmw's but didnt decide to go with the convertable class

Where did Carmo's comment go?

he must have deleted it

[CJ1987]

Carmo99 said:

CJ - thought about fixing some races so we have Hot Hatch / FF only for a race for example?

was thinking about it before i came up with this seasons rules but thought a mixed field would make it like the old btcc i.e small hatchbacks vs muscle cars for an example.

anyway my hatch is mr so could work in that combo lol

No pressure then.

Cripes lol

i used white in season 2 and didnt do too badly, tron just wants to blame the colour for his season

[CJ1987]

Alfanatic said:

LOL!!! I was googling GT5, and you know how Google autopredicts what you're googling, I typed in "GT5 what is the " and the first prediction was "GT5 what is the best 450pp car"!

How much research have you all been putting into this?!?

well i just pick from my garage and test whereas you want to google it

[CJ1987]

Alfanatic said:

Yes, and googling "what is the fastest pickup truck in GT5" didn't help me either. Turns out they're all the fastest one.

dodge ram or the toyota tacuma are the fastest

[CJ1987]

im hitting 1:34.3's in the evora but reckon i could gain another second

[CJ1987]

i personally tend to go faster in the race even without slipstream bonuses but im happy a slong as i have a close race with someone

[CJ1987]

Alfanatic said:

The GT is faster and like Colin said handles nicely. The RX8 is fast,

told you they were good

After some more testing I don't know if I'll use the M3 again. I just seem to get on so well with it and it has a really stable setup.

so your not going to use it because you like it?
