overall.

Sweet gotta get more people involved to make this interesting

 

[Jackelope]

ok, i'll add my time

i know.. i used all the assist.. but i did get a 3:22.xxx w/o STM/TCS

 

[Koenig]

I shall join in.... give me a couple to drop my time in whilst I play

 

[Koenig]

I need to tweak my car for better turn in, but I know I could get close to Jack's time (maybe slightly past it?), since my car is only a A762 class. I'm taking turn 4 too wide, in my 135R. My Exige takes it tighter, however it posts slower times (heavier and less power) in the low 3:30s

(rlaugh) j/k man - I've been playing around with the tuning myself, to I can put up a time w/o STM @ least, and been running w/o TCS also, got it down to 3:22.xxx, just needs a bit more tweaking.

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

Figure I'll throw my time up over here also.

I actually tried to grab your setup but it didn't seem available for download, only the replay. Which I watched. I'm thinking of removing the turbo and installing the supercharger, since it yields mroe HP and torque, and the low end would be better for the track i suppose.

did you just use me as a ghost? some of the 'top' of the leaderboards have downloadable setups.

??? How do you grab a setup from the leader board?

hit 'A' with them highlighted, if you can d/l the setup, it will be a listed option.

 

[Koenig]

Nope.... I just watched the replay to see what mods you had (forza front bumper or wing) and the telemetry to see what your peak HP and torque was, and if you had boost or not

I did download 2 setups, the front anti-roll bars were too loose so i tweaked them a little and it's definitely better but still not quite there, so i'm gonna do some more tweaking.

 

[Jackelope]

faster time.. 3:19.483 (w/a stupid .6 penatly, it was clean pass! dangit.. stupid slow computers.)
