THE competition thread: Week 1

Ok I'm going to set up a little tournement using very descrptive rules on based on the competition in the spaminator's thread.

Race is held on Nurburgring and you only have $50k to spend, that includes the initial cost of the car plus the parts used to upgrade it. Make SURE to record every single exspense put to the car, so you might want to whip out a peice of paper and calculator for that, then transfer those records over here once you've placed your entry. Rankings will be based on your fastest lap (duh) around Nurburgring and you may take as many laps as you'd like, but only submitting your best lap (duh again). Also if you could get a pic of the screen showing your time that'd be greatly appreciated to making you aren't a cheating bastard But if I do feel like something is fishy, I'll take your list of mods and car and see if it truly adds up to $50k and the time you posted

So, quick recap
-$50k for car + parts
-EVERY exspense must be recorded
-Best lap around around Nurbur (photo proof welcome)
-You can enter multiple entries, but they must be of different cars, and already posted times can be edited, but you must make me aware of that

I'd like entries to look something along the lines of this:


Car year, make and model
-time completed

-mods = price
= total $ spent


See? nice, easy, and clear, now get out there and race. It'll be interesting to see how fast we can do with $50k. used car lot here I come!!!!!!

Thanks, I was using the Rx7's stock transmission so the gearing felt a bit taller that I'd like for it to be, it didn't even top out on the last looooooooooooong straightaway. Anyways, my next text subject is gonna be a Trueno, that'll be interesting....

Re: THE competition thread: Week 1

that will be pretty interesting. I think I might go for a 91 supra or a FC rx or something.

Well the eight-six turned out some crap ass time, best was in the 8 minutes 15 secs range. Tried out the FC, broke into the higher 7 mintues times, but the FD is still the fastest out of em and I think it actually handled better than the eight-six, it kinda oversteered in corners which with the right throttle play shot me around some of those corners pretty quick. I'm not sure what else to test out....

Re: THE competition thread: Week 1

maybe a skyrine. or an Supra RZ. I've pretty good luck with that. Just for shits and giggles I ran the Cuda 440 fully modded out with racing meds and I didn't even break 8'30 it was like "under,under,under, SPIN weeeeee"
