Fine, be that way! That goes for both of you!

Can anyone tell that I am clueless when it comes to Cadillac? My must say though, my interest is peaked about this vehicle. Will have to check tonight!

Changing it now!

I never knew that there was a market for such high-ticket, high-dollar toys!

Just received word that there is a new fastest time in the 400m (1/4 mile)

Accomplished by a Skyline GT-R no less... 8.694 seconds! That is quick!

That thing is awesome!!!

For the record, the iA license Nurburgring test is good fun I loaned my copy of GT4 to a friend, as I would be out of town for a week. He kept "forgeting" to bring it over...just got it back after 3 weeks I've got the bug again

Oh goodness! I get too frustrated! I think, if memory serves, that the last one I did involved Zs. Where you have the 350 LM and you have to "catch" the other models prior to them finishing the first lap! Then I moved onto the NSXs where I found out that the 5sec penalty was still in effect!

Good fun though!

Sorry to kill all of your times!!! mawahahahahhahahaha

Modified MINI S using NOS at Nurburg: 7'37" (there were two places I went off into the grass (see video, 5'15" and 6'15") so this is not by far the "perfect" time)

Modified Caddy Cien with NOS:
drag: 8.974"
top speed: 287.95mph

nurburg
drag
top speed

and I have a movie of the MINI on nurburg but it is really crappy, I will try to get a real video camera to record it cause it is so bad ***.
heres the link: MINI Video on Nurburg (28mb) right click save as

I also took some COOL pics: here are just a few (rest at here

Yeah I used NOS on the track!!! It makes you go faster!

Why, is there a no NOS on track rule....

The video link works, just right click save as or left click and wait a long time as it loads.

I did not see the rules at first and I did run low 7sec as well. I did again without NOS and the best I could is 7:43. I think I could do faster If I cut some corners.

Love the video.

No, unfortunately NOS is not allowed! In trying to shadow realistic rules in the racing world, nitrous is not allowed...

I think you will only find NOS allowed in the 1/4 mile challange!

Modified MINIs:

Stock Production:

Race Prepared:

LMP:

I have to check this video out! Okay, I will wait, I grew impatient waiting but I guess that is what you have to do! DL-ing now!

Wait, I did right click and selected save as... and the screen goes away!

Spent some time tonight!

1/4 mile:

'00 Skyline GT-R (N) 8.674

'96 Ruf CTR2 (N) 9.812

I must admit, I was a little disappointed at the Ruf... On NOS, only a 9.8...

Damn! you're good. I did try again on Nurburgring 3-4 laps and I just could not even do any lower than 7:43

I did 150 something on 5th gear at the back straight. I set the final gear ratio to 14 or 15....not sure... thinking that I can hit 160+.

Here is my best shot at Laguna with my same old MCS. 1:35.121
