My testing times for comparison:
Panty Modena: 2:17.3 - 177 mph best speed Vette : 2:17.5 - 186 mph Daytona : 2:17.5 - 184 mph 906-8 : 2:18.8 - 171 mph
The top 3 are for me within 3 tenths after more than two minutes, so that's close enough in my livre Panty is fastest round the curves, Vette the slowest, Daytona is in the middle for top speed and corners. 906-8 is slowest but I struggle with Porches front or otherwise, is likely not far behind if you can keep the speed up in the turns.

Can't match lap time for Panty but confirm top speed - tried different axle ratios but 177 mph is max speed.

Not telling you any lap times or you will ban the car. LOL But are we supposed to do pit stops in this one? EDIT: Ah, scrub the question about pit stops. You fooled me by having the practice server set for a 25 lap race.

@Tudor: I looked at a few including my test and our real server and they were all the same, except one had disallowed auto gears I have the servers set to "Simulation" and I tick to allow auto clutch and auto gears. Not sure how to make it so it allows less without editing files. Did a few more laps in each car earlier with Ricardo, and I am quite a bit faster in the Panty than the others, we got down to 2:14.8. then I did few in the Vette and was just scraping the top of 2:15.9 also low 16.s in Daytona I think the Panty should be left for normal earthlings like me and hot shoes should (and probably can) push the heavy metal round. I am not changing any cars this week. I am just working out the fueling for each car so as not to scare CLive with pit stops I still think that if anyone can hustle the Vette round the turns it will be as fast as the Panty, just I can't Riccardo blew his motor in the panty after only 6 laps. I think it needs gentle gear changes particularly downshifts I did 6 laps at 60% and it stayed at 60%

Checked the server in-game and these options seem to be greyed out and unavailable, so maybe it's just a GTR2 or PnG bug. Braking help would have been very handy here

Makes me feel better with the Panty. Had 10 Lap on-line session, 6 qualifying and 4 with race fuel load. 2:18.78 with qualifying fuel and just under one second slower with race fuel.

OK now I`m officially confused. How on earth you did 184mph with daytona? I can manage only 180mph (290kph). With other cars I can hit those speeds that you wrote but with daytona not even close ... My top speeds: vette : 187mph (301kph) modena : 179mph (288kph) daytona : 180mph (290kph) 906-8 : 173mph (278kph)

Try 12/38 final drive Ed, some of these big yank motors peak well below max revs, some of the Corvettes particularly so.
I tried with 12/38 and got 184mph, with the next lower final drive I was getting 182
I have also run a few laps in each car for fuel consumption, and they will all do the race with at least 1 lap extra fuel remaining

Just had a few laps round here in the various car choices and I'm quickest in the Pantera by a couple of secs. Must admit I'm not a fan of these cars, especially on this type of track where just putting one wheel on the grass is race ending. Roll on Hungaroring
