Here I was hoping you were right.

I'm wall eyed from trying to watch the course and the car @ the same time so I can stay off of the walls.
Graefin, i'm going to try and just go with it
and I still dunno what i'm gonna use for both classes yet but I thinks I has good choicees!

Allriiiight
Come on and show us how it's done. Air and Apex especially need some instruction.

I have. It's actually not that hard to do a clean lap, you just have to mash the brakes a little earlier/harder for any of the corners and do your damndest to keep to the middle lanes. Your best bet is to leave some downforce in the aero, don't just min it out for top speed.
haha on what may that be
Bump so Apex knows what qualifies
Ran one race with Apex and Aircooled. Apex in Godzilla, Air in an RX8, and myself in the DB9.
The GTR destroyed us easily, but the Mazda and Aston were very close the entire match. Need to learn to stop drifting the corner after the straight at Trial Mtn, and dial in the suspension a little better, but quite good with the basic tune I put in.
Air, break in that RX8... i was pulling away from the Aston in the straight before my internet kicked me in the RX8. 
I had to remove parts... it's over 550hp fully built now.
But i'm not going to run the RX8 i don't think. I found something that has a HUGE rear diffuser as an exterior option at GT Auto. It looks awesome. I just have to hope i can find more power out of it as it breaks in. It's at 528hp, and it's slightly overweight at 1251kg.

I think I know of what car you speak. Unless there are more than one Giant rear diffuser as an option car in the game.
I am going to enter another plea for someone to take over hosting / admin duties.
It is increasingly difficult for me to manage this with all the other things going on... add to it that I just got a new position at work that is requiring much more effort than my previous position.
I'll help you set it up, walk you through the spreadsheets, all that stuff, I really just need someone to keep the ball rolling.

Heh, we're probably on the same page... I about fell off my couch when i saw that monstrosity pop up as an option. The bonus is that it seems to handle VERY well despite being a little bit overweight. Must be that Lotus-designed suspension.
I was actually looking for one of the later generation, but apparently Poly didn't want to make that one in Premium guise? Doesn't make sense. The later one is every JDM Fanboi's wet dream.
As a tip for everyone, the RX7 Spirit R is available in Premium guise, and it's a monster. I was faster around SS7 in it than the RX8 last night, and i realized after that i was running default suspension settings. 
Unfortunately Air... it doesn't rev to 11k like the RX8. Seems to stop at about 8.5k.

I have one and I know it's a Premium car but is it on the Admin. Spreadsheet? I didn't really test it because I don't think it is. I suppose it should be though.

I think it should be...
Oh wait... maybe it's not a 4 seater?
It actually books out at less PP than the RX8 did, if that's worth anything?
In reply to 92CelicaHalfTrac:
Yeah, I'd say you're right, not a 4 seater. Now that you mention it, I remember coming to the same conclusion.
Ok, disregard that everyone, i'm stupid.

You were pulling away from an Aston that was geared to 230, had a really strong final gear, and was coasting when you blew by it, on a course that is impossible for cars with about the same performance to catch up to each other without boost.
I don't think it's going to do too hot at SS7, I'm fairly certain the boosted cars are going to hit higher top speeds. But then again, most of the stuff I've run seems to peg out at 205 no matter what it is. But on the twisty courses like Trial Mtn, the car is fantastic, even with my basic crap Rwd suspension tune and odd tranny setups. In fact, when I was racing Air and Apex, I had the trans set up for 230 mph, but the final gear brought my top speed down to 186 or so. If I dropped it down to 160-170 it might have been able to keep up with Godzilla.

That's good, considering the RX8 is technically a saloon
1251.... I think I have that too.

Those mini doors don't really count. I allowed the Rx8
That's what I figured
It's a shame certain lazy car makers didn't bother putting back seats in their cars. I think my first few choices weren't eligible because of that. It's also a shame you can't boost the Skyline 370GT, because that car is absolutely great in the corners, but maxes out 100hp down from the limit.

I bought a G35 last night, but didn't have time/money to build it. Lost cause, then?
I think it's worse than the Skyline powerwise, and it doesn't handle as well.
HUGE rear diffuser?.......I like my MKIII Supra thank you

Blah... i thought i was onto something special here.
Why is there a premium MKiii but no Premium MKiv? STUPID.
Last night I realized that I missed the FR requirement for GT...
2 cars completely built and tested, the GTR and the lotus Evora. Damn... (GTR would be durn near unbeatable, I was able to toy with the others at trial mtn with it)
Back to the drawing board
hahaha you know me I do enjoy my Time Attack Supra a lot though LOL
yeah, that is one that VERY much surprised me
