The Z06 seems to have the most potential for gains once tuned.

Hm... interesting, Serial.  Thanks for writing this down 

[Serial]

Added 3 more cars after tonights test run.  Still in initial testing phase, but I'm hoping this gives a good idea of how these cars can run together.

As of right now, the 83 second cars feel much faster than the 84 second cars (the F430 time had .1+ of penalty...it's a high 84 second car as is).

[Serial]

Just finished testing the 3 Porsches and the BMW.  The M3 shows a lot of promise, as it was just the 5th car to reach an 83 in just 5 laps.

[Drift2XL]

You have go to try a Sagaris.   

It sticks like glue. Has a good top speed. I took a heads up from Fit and left it at stock weight and full grip then power. It topped out at over 175 and has mad grip. May be the fastest I found.

A good driver and a great line will do this car well.

[Serial]

You mean fastest as in too speed or fastest as in lap times ? I had multiple cars that broke 180 on the straight for sure.

[Drift2XL]

Fastest as times.

I've hit over 190 with the GT3. Just nowhere near as comfortable. The Sagaris just overwhelms the others with balance. It has alot of grip. And then it has enough power to get up.

The F430 was a total disappointment. I barely hit 170's. The lack of grip was disheartening. No top speed+no grip =  slow times.

I think that a very good driver and a clean lap in the GT3 will be fastest. Could be sub 83's. But the Sagaris is an overall All-Star. It would be a great race car. Very repeatable.

[Serial]

Ill have to try it out. Make sure to try out the F40 and Z06 for yourself if you haven't. The F40 is just awesome all around with a stock tune. The Z needs some more work but has a lot of potential.

[Spiny Anteater]

I've not run the F40, but it is my ghost on this track. You're right that it is an awesome car around here - I can't tell you how depressing it was to watch that rough-tune F40 walk away from my Viper lap after lap

[Serial]

Finally...initial testing complete.  3 cars have made it into the 82's with a stock tune and only 5 laps.  I'm thinking those same 3 cars can go into the 81's with tuning and more practice.  More testing to come.

[Serial]

5 More Laps in the Shelby Series 1 with a Stock Tune (28/28) netted an 82.723.

A few more laps in a lightly tuned Series 1 and I'm ending the night with an 82.704.
