I might change my vote; i've been using my tuned Zonda on Midfield and it's simply amazing. On the on otherhand the SLR works perfect on the 'Ring as it's stable.

You're not talking about the stock SLR are you? I hate that car on the ring, understeer for days. :x

well... i've been figuring that since there are absolutely 0 proper porsches in the game, and i wonder how GT4 would interpret the 996 GT3 RSR...
some important charactaristics:
996 GT3 RSR---------Ruf RGT (GT4)
1115 kg-------------->1130 kg (3 stage weight reduction)
445 bhp-------------->445 bhp (tuned w/out oil change--451 with)
racing tires----------> racing medium
racing brakes---------> racing brakes
roll cage--------------> roll cage.
etc.
so basically, you can get it pretty close... but w/out ajustable wing and front spoiler.

so i played with the suspension... and the car either oversteers uncontrollably, or understeers too much... so i opted for the closest to neutral i could, so still understeery. so it means you have to plant yourself on the right line a bit ahead of time... otherwise your going 10+ mph too slow. it also lacks the torque that would be needed to send it out of control if you gass it too hard in a corners' exit... instead, the steady power will correct sometimes killer oversteer

naturally, i took my "RSR" to the Nurburgring and the car definately needs a more softly sprung suspension, otherwise the bumps get the best of you w/out any simulated d/f. it feels more proper a lighter/more powerful GT3 cant be a bad thing... it feels soooo much more predictable then the NSX-R...even when similar modifications are made :shock:

so, i think i've gotten myself within 4 seconds of me concidering the lap good, and 8-10 seconds from as good as i could be, if you took each sector individually that ive done perfect... but still, im pleased with a 6:49.898...

i wonder how a real RSR would do on the ring ??

so now that i've tuned her... i start hot lapping it. with 445 hp, and 1130 kg, this feels more like a nice simulated race car...

Edit:
so i've been trying to look up NS times for the RSR and heres what i got
8:53.871 (ring plus F1 track) [24 h of nurburgring]
2:01. 68 (F1 track) [1000km of nurburgring]
so extrapolating... a 6:52 would be a pretty fast time... and remarkably close to my 6:49 :shock: very interesting, i say :idea:
