room up...

 Had fun to night! Was nice racing with everyone! Also sorry for running over most of you guy's, some more than others!

[Feldynn]

Had a lot of fun too, I was surprised how relatively well the cars seemed to stack up against each other without any tuning!  Also gave me some useful test data / ideas for some other ToC classes I'm planning .

I had a lot of fun as well.  I came to a few conclusions last night.  1. Even if they are slow compaired to some of the other cars, the original viper coupes are fun... I want one. 2. I think a Viper cup series would be cool.  Maybe with a stock ACR Viper or a lightly modded GTS. 3. I'd do this again.

I want to send out an apology for my horrible driving last night. I'm never any good if I show up late and try to just race. I need some seat time in the car to know how to drive it. And that dang F40 was a bear getting out of first without spinning the tires. Lord.

Anyways, I hope to try an alternative to the mic I've been using tonight and see if it works or not. I hate typing on that thing. LOL. Thanks for organizing this Feld.

I'd also like to throw out a request .... since today is my HNCD (happy new car day), could we get a drive one of these nights in unmodified stock Miatas? That'd make MX very happy.   

Thanks,

MX

The Viper GTS has always been one of my favourite sports cars, I've found with they handle really nice with fixed suspension, close-ratio transmission and a couple of power bolts, I'd definitely be interested in some sort of Viper Cup series like that with the GTS.  I seem to remember something on the PSN forums using the ACR Viper, I want to say it was called the Scream GT series but I wasn't involved with it at the time and I haven't looked in a while.

I can't think of any cars offhand that would work good with the stock Miatas but I'll look.  I do think it could make for a good TuTu race one night so I'll pass it on to HotStepper too .

Ummm ... how about ... another Miata?     

Different colors would be ok.         

[Feldynn]

Hehe well yeah but that's what I kinda what I meant, if it was just the '07 Roadster or maybe any Roadster / Miata / MX-5 at 390PP it'd be about perfect for a TuTu event . 

For ToC I'd be thinking more along the lines of a handful of different cars including the Miatas, like a Miata Vs. other similar convertibles at the same PP like we did last night, I just need to do some research and see what cars have similar stock stats, there's already a class for lower power convertibles so I can probably use that as a base .

Another idea ... just let everyone show up with what the drove in Time Trial #50. I had a decent time in the Miata in the 400PP race. And I have Chrome's tune for the Elise 111R for the other one Would be a fun night of racing with cars we've already tuned. Easy peasy.
