Supercar Test

[leepangfu]

About a week ago I decided to find out which of these 10 supercars is the fastest. I kept them stock apart from Soft Sport tyres and did 5 laps of Nurburgring GP/F in each one to see which one is the fastest.

There was room for improvement with each one so the list would probably change a bit if I did more laps. I think the Viper can make up a lot of time. It was hard to get a good lap. But one thing is certain. Not one of them would beat the Lamborghini. It's almost 2,5 seconds faster than the Ferrari. I did not expect that. It's probably because of the four wheel drive.

The GT-R SpecV was quite suprising too. It has the least horsepower, pp and it weighs the most and still came in 3rd. It's just so easy to drive and fast aswell.

Was pretty fun to do. The cars all handle very different. I would like to test more groups of cars. Maybe one of you knows a group I can test.

Nice, You could do cars from different country's? e.g. United Kingdom ,Aston Martin's ,TVR's ,Lotus's etc.

[Blessorship]

Sounds like a fun experiment. Surely if you used the ZR1 it would have been higher in the ranks. Testing the muscle cars might be fun as well.

[hennnerz]

i like this idea maybe some LM cars or some classics like the 2J and the GT40,

[metdevil678]

I'm quite suprised how high up the Ford GT is. It's one of my favourite cars in the game

[Ronsin]

This may be a dumb question but why didn't you use the Enzo instead of the Ferrari 458 Italia? Nice list btw.

[chrisheadshot]

maybe replace the murcielago with a gallardo if its destroying the competition? i've done this a couple of times around the top gear test track although my cars are fully tuned with racing softs. When i do it the Mclaren F1 tops the list, followed by the Corvette ZR1 and then suprisingly by the GTR 07. I also put the zonda R around it but its a little unfair seeing as its a race spec car, demolishes everything by about 4 seconds. When i run these tests i laugh every time at how poorly the veyron performs, by my times an F430, R34 and even a supra all run better times.

Nice list there... Interesting the Lamborghini and the dodge have the same PP, but big difference in times.... Just shows the engineering a design elements involved and general poor overall performance for US cars....

[leepangfu]

I picked this list because I though the performance of the cars would be close. That's why I didn't pick the Mclaren F1, Enzo etc. Never thought the Murcielago would be so much faster. I actually thought I used Racing Soft by accident first but it were Sport soft. The Gallardo was probably a better choice.

[leepangfu]

Tried the Gallardo now and did a 2:07,118. So I guess Lamborghini's are very good in this game. I'm going to add some more supercars. Feel free to add your own if they are stock with Soft sport tyres.

Here's a list of cars I still want to add:

Ferrari 599
Ferrari F40
Ferrari F430
Ferrari F430 Scuderia
Ferrari California
Maserati GranTurismo S
Alfa Romeo 8C
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
Audi R8 4.2
Mercedes SLR
Dodge Viper SRT10
TVR Tuscan Speed 6
Nissan GT-R
Mclaren F1
Ferrari Enzo
Bugatti Veyron
