Re: What is your favorite car in your garage?

I think I said I was at 93% and lacked the F1 races when I gave up. I went back later and won the F1 races with the F094S and then cleaned up the Arcade stuff to get 100%. I thought it was clear but maybe not.

To Boss San. I never liked the Vertigo. Too much body sway and you lose too much time when you get it a little sideways. Seems like it has a high "polar moment of inertia". But several people including you have said they liked it so I went back and tried it again. After about 20 laps I started to get a handle on it and I now like it. Thanks. It is more of a finesse car. You have to anticipate it's moves. I made a few little adjustments but left the motor stock. I'm running the Cote D'Azur endurance race against the "Big 3" with slick tires and it looks like I'm going to beat the 787 on tire mileage. I'm running low 1:34's to high 1:35's. It seems to be very good on tire wear.

Re: Re: What is your favorite car in your garage?

I didn't care for the vertigo. it actually seemed a little sluggish to me. whenever I drove it, it seemed like there was either too much oversteer, or not enough. so like I said before, I like my GT1.

D'OH!

Same here.. the Vertigo was alright at first, but I got the Escudo right after that. Kind of spoiled it for me.

I love the Zonda for a non-race car.

The Vertigo is naturally aspirated, you have to keep the revs nearly maxed out to get and keep all your much needed speed.

yea the open wheel cars will kill everything cause of the handlein....but i think the mazda 787b is the best other then the p[en wheels...the car handles almost as well as the open wheelers. The lm rx7 is sweet to... i can drift it like a champ (can you tell i am a fan of the rotary,,best motor ever made)

It took me over 30 tries to get the handling during the Class S license test. The SSRoute11 is definitely not the track for the Griffith 500.
