• American Classic TRANS-AM: October 12, 2012

[Wolfpack987]

I think we're going to go ahead with the Stock GT supercars as Grilled's enduro next week is slightly similar to the other option I presented.

Did some longevity testing last night for the SLS & LFA and found it remarkable how closely they are matched.  Best lap times were within a few 10ths of one another and they both can stay out on track in between pit stops for around the same amount of laps.  If I have time tonight I will do the same with the SLR and Z06.

So pick your vehicles!  For the first 8 entrants I would like no more than 2 people to claim a vehicle.  If entrants exceed 8 then it'll be 3 per car and so forth.

[DudeTuna]

LFA me. 

[dlrws6]

Z06 here

[Wolfpack987]

I will be piloting the gullwing

[RickS95]

Having not driven any of the cars, I'll go with the Z06.

If the car sucks and there are still options, can we change to a less shitty car?

[Wolfpack987]

yes

[Wolfpack987]

Okay so far the sign up sheet is like so:

DudeTuna - LFA
dlrws6 - Z06
RickS95 - LFA
WolfpackS2k - SLS
GrumpyTuna - SLR
Grilled Tuna - SLR

So until we have more than 8 people I would prefer if nobody else picks the Z06.  Keep in mind I've done extensive testing (IMO at least) that has determined that any of these cars are capable of winning.  I'm confident the winner will be decided by who makes the fewest mistakes, not because of what car they're driving.  Also, people can change which car they want to drive up to 2 weeks before the race date (TBD) as long as it's still available.

I will make another separate thread later today so that the individual race info will be easy to find for everyone.

 I will give the SLR a shot even though I have driven any of the cars! That will be if i can make the race. I know i probably miss it some where, but what can be done to the cars?

[Wolfpack987]

Nothing!  100% stock 

SLR is a good choice.  While it's the heaviest it has the highest PP, is very stable and planted and reaches the highest speeds on the oval section.  Damn good brakes too thanks to the air brake.

[GrumpyTuna]

 That would include no oil change?

[DudeTuna]

 That would include no oil change?

Change the oil and break it in! 

[Wolfpack987]

you can change the oil and break in the vehicles.  I'm not sure what power they top out at but I think all mine are broken in.  And they are (assuming I remember properly):

SLS - 592 hp
SLR - 631 hp
Z06 - 529 hp
LFA - 570 hp

[Grilled Tuna]

hope i didn't cut you off wolkpack just didn't see or hear of anything assigned for that night. BTw sign me up for a SLR 

[Wolfpack987]

Not at all man.  And car choice noted.

Btw, what does everyone think of January 11th or 12th, at night, for the race?  Or the 13th, during the day?  Let me know what you think.

[DudeTuna]

I would prefer 11 or 12, but 13 would work for me too.
