    My A-Class 1970 Corvette ZR-1 is, for me, a prime example. I haven't done what most people do with classic american muscle cars (max out the power, then sort out the handling). I've tuned this Corvette for handling and acceleration, and it's able to keep up with and/or beat almost anything. It's even beaten a few scoreboard cars, including the Elise 135R and VW Golf Mk 2 (with AWD).




    you are aware that virtually nobody uses the VW Golf Mk2 in A-class nor is it a scoreboard car in A-class.  Now i'm almost afraid to ask what tracks you beat the Elise on.... Sunset Infield?....................Tongue Tied [:S]

    While on the topic, i'm sick of people saying "well I ran this car and it beat an Elise" or "I ran this car and I beat a Stingray".  That stuff DOESN'T MATTER, stop judging the cars by the drivers.


    Ok Sneaky, before I start, I realise I made a mistake about the Golf Mk2 (and after a bit of online racing recently, I should've put the '69 Fairlady Z), but there are a few things I need to make clear.

    1. My Corvette ZR-1 is NOT a missile car (it only reaches 165).
    2. Because of this, it rarely wins at Sunset Infield.
    3. The tracks that I have beaten an Elise on include Maple Valley, Silverstone and Suzuka.
    4. If you've read my post, you'll have noticed that I've tuned this car for HANDLING and ACCELERATION, not for speed.
    5. I don't drive this car to say "this car has beaten an Elise", I drive it because I like it and it's fast around the track.

    There. Have I made my points clear enough?

    i find enjoyment in driving not winning, so i usually dont. even if i did i would still lose, im a horrid racer, but i have fun!


    This plus my preference for unusual cars that only I have a build for are why I'm much better at coming in second consistently than winning at all.  :)

    Tip :-
    Drop gravel into your fuel tank so you can fill up your car for less.

    lol!  I never thought of it that way.  I definitely find myself in the camp as abacacus in that I find more enjoyment in the driving than where I end the race.

    Well thats no better, thats like saying you beat a 1000+ 69' Charger with a VW Beetle and bragging about it, and later say you beat it at Tsukuba...
