SuicideKing/1' 48.116"

My car still has under 50miles and I did not oil change yet.

Looks like I gotta go git me one of them there ferd ratpoons and give'er a run. Shoulda left the premium outa the name. Sluggo would be more appropriate or how ever you spell it.

The car is heavy but surprisingly, a smooth ride. Not too torquey for the comfort soft tires either. It makes a good car/track combo, anything outside the TT, you're on your own. Tame the pony .

1.48.238. 1st run 5 laps, "kickin the dust off" oil change when bought new only.

Will update soon.

Damn, DD. Pretty harsh.

I think 3D may disagree with that assesment of his beloved FORD.

Friggin Old Road Debris

Just fattened the competition with generosity.
Updated leaderboard.

Oh, I won't be baited into a childish and meaningless argument over brand loyalties.

For refrence, Motor Trend lapped Laguna Seca in a 2010 GT500 Mustang at 1'44.320! That was a heavy and very powerful car. The Audi R8 4.2 did it in 1'40.750, a far better car to attack a course on. The 2012 Boss 302? 1'40.210 with less power than the GT500 and thousands less than the R8!

Bear in mind that the Mustang used in the game is a Japan spec export model. With an automatic transmission and less than ideal suspension tuning, is it any wonder it feels slow and cumbersome?

1.47.669 after 74 miles. One oilchange since the initial dust off.

Update soon.

Ok, try this... Take the stocker. Go to American Muscle Car Championships. Get whooped while fighting your way out of the wet paper bag. When you are done, you will be the best FK'n Mustang driver. Good drill SK.

I now nominate SK official Drill Instructor. LOL, JK. But you can have that title if u want it. Drills prepare us.

Prepare for Stunt Drills to follow. I will show you why these drills are the biggest asset in RIP's tool pouch. If you can drive a stock car fast... If you can save a spill and still remain in position... If you can drive and F1 (ok. im learning)... If you can drive Nascar with the best... then we will eventually show the PSN (ahhh, maybe) that RIP is the best.

SK, I think the next Time Trial, if applicable should be the Bavarian Motor Works M5 2008, at the Nordshleifhosenshnitzel.

Role call... BMW M5 '08 at Nurburgring Nordschleif 24 hr?

Hehehe.

This time. All bets off. No limit. Event to be posted....

1'47.675 Damn this automatic tranny and it's woefully inadequate ratios! I'll see if I can coax any more out of it.

Make that a 1'47.021 for now. I'll try to push 'er into the 1'46s before turning in tonight.

Leaderboard updated with more informative data.

OK, last run before bed netted a 1'46.744

Final power looks to be 314 HP @ 6000 RPM and 332 lb/ft @ 4500 RPM - 449 PP This was after 135 miles and an oil change.

I'll try again later with the chassis re-built. Good fun so far guys!

Childish? 3D was that name calling? I never called you any names! If I'm not allowed an opinion I'm in the wrong group!
