    Since the other one disappeared... here's a new one!

    alright, so this is how it's going to work.

    We pick a certain car and track from the arcade mode (no garage cars) and leave them totally stock except for taking off stability/traction control. The tires will be up to you.

    The car and track will be played until Friday night at 7 pm . At this time, the winner of that week will pick a new car and track. (this is so if there is a winner that frequents firestone, you guys can discuss the new stuff there).

    You must post a picture like mine showing the hp, weight and the car on that track. This will make sure no one cheats and lowers the weight and ups the hp. Is this cool with everyone?

    So for this week...

    Car: S2000

    Track: Suzuka

    Okay, I did arcade mode but raced against other cars and got 2'09.xx
    I didn't take a picture but could do it again if someone wants proof.
    I had Sports Medium tires on the same car, no mods on suzuka.

    Took about 7 laps but I got it :)

    And Substeroo, you're going to have to post a picture of that, because I have no idea how you cut 20 seconds off my time.

    Really?

    I can't be that good at driving GT4 you guys!

    I'll do it again and take a picture.
    Does it automatically adjust power to what cars you run against?

    I ran it twice and got consistant 1'04.xx to 1'07.xx lap times!

    I'll do the timed run tonight and maybe it'll make a difference.

    Try it in time trial mode with the 04 regular S2000, I think you might accidentally be using the type z or whatever it is. And if you're totally right... I suck! :cry:

    It was the East circuit. I just got the game so it's not unlocked yet. Anyone want to humor me and play the east circuit?

    Just so you know guys, I have the best time so far and we will pick a new track and car tonight so you better get on it! And we can have two races available at the same time, just make sure the car can be driven from the arcade mode (I'm not sure if the 22B is available).

    Nope, I live in Ashland, WI so I rarely ever get down to Firestone. It'd be nice, but it's really waaaay too far :cry:

    Damn I think I was running the '99, I'll have to check, either way I don't think my time was any good anyways, Short attention span (nothing to beat)so I didn't play long.

    I wasn't sure if it was available if you haven't unlocked it in simulation mode. Let's go with the Subaru IMPREZA Coupe WRX Type-R STi version VI (GC) '99

    It should be availabe for everyone no matter how much you've played.

    I just did it and got a 2'16.604 (1st lap, so someone beat it)

    Crapola! This is a nother course you have to open by playing simulation mode. I guess we're all going to have to pull our memory cards and restart before picking the next track :(
