Ultimate GT4 Nurburg ring hot lap thread!

[bluebullet]

I just pulled a 6'13 with nitrous, ran out of gear on the back straight. Just hangin at redline (never bounced off of it) 201mph.

Larger turbos should be in order...as soon as I can come up with $90k lol. The suspension is good as its gonna get, and Im afraid to tweak it more cuse its already on the verge of losing it.

im loving these times but you all just prepare yourselves for when it hits the uk shelves.......

I'll use the nitrous to make up for a mistake if I come out of a corner too slow. The brakes on the TT are amazing. I may buy the '99 BMW LMP and try to go under 5'30" tonight.

[Sarc]

So, does anyone have any "real" 'ring times to compare to these guys? It'd be an interesting comparo.

The ultimate was of course the late Stefan Bellof in a 956 @ 6'11"130. I guess I know the 'ring better than he does!

I suck so far at the RING.. I have a few mid 7's.. I do have a RUF BTR that I took to the top speed run and hit 250 mph with it haha! scarry fast then I crashed it as I lost control! ahahhaah

[bluebullet]

haha where are you getting all this money carl? I have like 30 grand left in the bank account..nowhere near enough to buy another car. I like the 350Z cuse its brakes are nice and progressive. But its a heavy car, and putting bigger turbos will give me more lag, but the nitrous should make up for it. 789hp anyone?

Any of the real GT1 cars, such as the LMPs (even the audi R8 should be a serious contender) should be putting down high to mid 5 minute lap times. I dont know if I can react fast enough....

Ah... I'm thinking the exact same thing for when it hits Australian shelves next Thursday.

[lendaddy]

OK, another question. Are you guys using manual trannies? I've never done the auto's.

[bluebullet]

yeah we are..im usually pushing it into redline most of the time, cuse its still strong on hp.

Auto always shifts at the wrong time. And I can get nice backfires on downshifts.

How about someone edit the first post, and put peoples times up and they car they used. TC/ASM is optional. I run all my cars with the ASM off cuse its a load of crap, and I usually keep TC on 1 just to keep the tires from heavy wheelspin.

[lendaddy]

Oh yea, I'm using the wheel with shifter, the one made special for GT4 and it is a ball! If it had a clutch pedal I would spend my wad I actually caught myself several times in the beginning using the brake like a clutch, you really get into it with this thing.

[Carl Bauer]

I took a little downforce off and gave 5th gear a little length for the 3 200mph areas. I also found 2 new areas to stay flat through. For some reason I couldn't string together a decent lap tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

[bluebullet]

dang 200mph on the stretches? jeezus. Where did you win that car??

[Carl Bauer]

Purchased for 550,000 Cr in the new Audi area. Then I did everything the Audi tune shop will let me.

A very quick way to make credits is to pass all the license tests first. Each level gets you a free car. By the time you're done w/ all the testing you'll have 5 or 6 free cars.

Sell all but the best one which I think is some 240SX Nismo thing and rod the hell out of it. Go to the "Special Conditions Hall" There are tons of mini races vs one other car that will win you some good stuff like the Renault Maxi 5 Turbo, Ford RS 200, or Peugeot's '85 rally car. All of those are worth 250,000 Cr. Sell those and pick up something like the Audi or whatever.

After you sell those Group B rally cars you can cancel the results and do it all over again, winning the same car if you like for more Cr.

[bluebullet]

yeah I got all pieces of crap for the licenses. I still kept the nismo 270R. Im going to toy around with that cuse I havent modded it yet.

I'll check out that special conditions hall, and try to save up for that audi R8.

[Jeremy Cottrell]

How about a 7:50 with a 70 Chevelle?? I'm going to try that in the vintage enduro so I'll have 25 laps to improve on it.

[Adam]

7:50 in a Chevelle??? LOL!

Can anyone tell me if the new C6 Z07 is in the game? I had a C5 Z06 in GT3 which whipped serious butts on the track.

[Carl Bauer]

No versions of the Corvette C6

[adomakin]

ok, just got the game over here, bought myself a Ruf BTR. 7.50.19 unmodified. what an awesome track

Andy

[adomakin]
