I've given up.

But, I did get a 1:57:9 or something like that in the 1886 Benz Patent Motor Wagen. Anyone else care to go slower?

Surely there must be a jast as fast - if not faster production car than a worked scooby for the 400m. Unfortunately the Evo just doesnt cut into the subaru times with a quick 9.151 second pass, perhaps someone has a worked R32 GTR Skyline they could try?

I wonder about an Rx7 or a Supra then?

I tried a moderately worked BMW M3 CSL, pulled a 10.2 or something like it.

I'm only in the early stages of the game and don't have much time at all to spend on it so I'll just put down my best time for the sake of it.

Continued to fiddle around with my settings on the Evo8 GSR MR - got a 8.940 which is better than the previous 9.151!

Will try a worked M3 CSL sometime.

Update -

Well Haven't tried the CSL just yet - "accidently" bought the Merc Mclaran SLR, runs flat 11 sec 0-400 stock so it could be promising.

Honestly I don't know about the quarter mile comps, to me they get kinda boring, anyone else feel that way? I reckon a lap around a track or something? Either way i'll still compete it doesn't bother me!

a lap would be more interesting imo...especially if its in stock cars


DK, i look forward to seeing your settings and shutting my mate up once and for all! he is 100% certain that nothing can beat the skyline. he also said that in GT3, and i beat him in my pagani zonda, and know nothing about gear ratios etc.

that shut him up, but now he's back. and he is certain nothing can beat it....i think i beat his time with something, and he changed his statement to " nothing in its class, 4WD" so now ill have to pull out a rexy and silence him once more !

I managed a best for 432km/h in a Supra RZ in GT3.
I haven't mucked around with any other cars on there though.
I have the settings saved as well for that set up.
