3 minutes as in three flat(or seconds off)??? I think it’s quite possible with a superman run. people breaking into the mid 3 minute mark easy all the time.

SG just posted he ran a 3:57 or so with his.

I have a fully modded 458 Italia in Rossa Corsa red with annoying color matched wheels if you want to trade me something for that. I already have a fully tuned flat dark gray F40.

As previously mentioned it’s possible. I think I did it in the mid four minute range.

Murrdog. The F40 just went back to you. Set D-options as per the message I sent you via PSN. Unfortunately that car is so lopy compared to the other stuff you drive later in the game and it was hard getting used to it at first. Car doesn’t like to turn in too well. Watch for long high speed braking, ass end like to walk around a bit. Take corners via braking fully, turn in, and don’t mash on the throttle on exit or the car will push.

Want a fun car to drive, go buy a lotus 111S and tune to the max. Send to me and I’ll put the exact same settings I have on mine. Car two-wheels around corners :lol

I’ve got a sick 1979 Honda Civic 1500 that’s fully tuned, big turbz, and makes just over 200hp. :excited

If you guys ever race online and see an all Honda drag called “Team Afterdark” fuckin’ join it, just make sure you have a Honda or they will boot you. I dont know where they are from but one guy sounds like Eminem and the rest sound like they are Ricans. I got told by one guy every time we lined up: “Yo, Killabird, watch me stretch you kid…imma fuckin’ stretch you right now”. Of course their Civics are brightly painted yellow with red wheels, etc.

Just found the GNX in the used car lot. I had to purchase it to add to my mullet ridez collection. I’d like to find the IROC Camaro, jack the rear end up, paint it flat black, and do sick burnouts everywhere.

Ok setting for the Lotus. It’s an '04 111R, not the 111S like I thought.

You can Race Mod this as previously stated, but I don’t think it’s as much fun as this. Go to the tuning place and throw the book at it, including soft r-comps. Go to the GT store and do an oil change, throw some wheels on it(yes it does help with lighter wheels in the game), and throw all the aero on it including a sweet wing on the back.

Under tuning settings set the following

Brakes: 8/7 (f/r)  
Diff: 5/35/20 (IT, Ac, Dc)  
Gearbox: 162(mph)  
Aero, max the rear(can’t adjust front)  
Suspension:  
-HR: leave stock 0/0  
-SR: front 5.2, rear 6.4  
-Extension and Compression: 5/6 (f/r)  
-Sways: 4 (f/r)  
-Camber: 2.4 front, 1.2 rear  
-Toe: front 0, rear .18

Under driving options before the race:

TC: off, Skid :on, AS: Strong, ASM: off, ABS:1

If this is how the car handled in real life, I would buy one tomorrow. Do all the type of driving that would make an instructor shit bricks. Brake way late, turn in way late and hard overshooting apex. Hold on, hope tires stick and aero keeps you top side up 😃

Do this:
