Default For those of you participating in Steve's GT3 challenge...

Notice a few things that may help your lap times...

Stock S2K at the dealer shows 246 HP and 160.57 TOR. Your garage shows the same car with 236 HP & 21.1 TOR (obvious different measurement). The oil change will net you 247 HP and 22.1 TOR, but notice how as the miles go up on the car, so does the HP and TOR. Ex...

000.0 miles = 247/22.1
005.0 miles = 248/22.1
050.0 miles = 250/22.4
118.0 miles = 252/22.5
123.0 miles = 253/22.6

These numbers may seem small, but if you look at the performance increase from 0 to 123 miles on your S2K you'll see...

000.0 miles = 13:940 in the 400, and 25:434 in the 1000
123.0 miles = 13:717 in the 400, and 24:903 in the 1000

Small differences yes, but worth putting some miles on the Stook before racing it...you betcha'.

Also notice how the replay save only shows the car with 239 HP even if your garage shows it with 247 or 253.

I have too much time on my hands tonight...lol.

Don't forget, the more distance you cover on your car ... You start to lose horsepower when you start to past the 600KM mark.
