ive been playing with my elise setups lately and found one thats interesting for my RM.  Very stable at speed and gives lap times of close to 8 min dead at the ring (version V)

(max diff settings, zero toe, -1.7 camber on all corners, top speed of 290km/h, dampers at 7/9 for both settings, springs at 8.7 and 11.2 and sway bars at 6.  All settings on the LSD maxed at 60, downforce maxed, hp at 318 and brake bias at 5/5 or 5/6 since so much weight is on the rear due to the downforce of the car, but thats a warning.  brake in a STRAIGHT LINE.)  This is a very fun car to drive on throttle :)

Also playing with the street version i removed the spoiler and discovered just how tail happy it can get.  doesnt matter though, as its only good for 230km/h.  (london, tsukuba and cote de broze)

and finally, i have a 425pp evora that is absolutely stupid quick, which is funny since its almost totally stock. :)

Still waiting for the Ruf RGT to show up for sale :(

I was able to beat Eiger by shortening up my gear ratios. (less top speed)

So...  Apparently doing all the B-spec races except for the last one (24hrs of Nurburgring) doesn't give you a high enough b-spec level to do the last one...

So now I'm having my B-spec drivers do the second last one (24hrs of Le Mans) again.

I'd gotten so far through GT5 without having to "grind" and do the same race over & over again for either $$ or XP (mostly due to those cool seasonal races), but I guess it's an experience they just couldn't remove from the game. :P

Isn't that the normal price? That's what I paid for a G25 back in 2009.

Got my g25 almost 3 years ago on sale at Futureshop for around 175.00. I really wish I could make it work with forza like it works with everything else.

Don't we all. I got mine for Live For Speed but it's served pretty well with other racing games. Have to clean up the living room before I can hook it up to GT5 though.
