I have finally taken a run on GVS with this stallion and I must admit that I am quite impressed. There was something about SSR5 that wasn't quite right, most likely that I have far less experience there than at GVS. A fun track but as they say, knowledge is power. So I brought it to what could be a home course for me and had a go.
On the same asphalt it could be likened to...a less tame NSX-R. The speed is fantastic, sliding easily controlled but it lacks the otherworldly grip of the NSX. I'm sure the extra ~250HP might have a thing or two to do with that. Still, it is fast. Much more so than it seemed during my run. This and the NSX are still the only two tuned cars I've run under the 2' mark on this track. The NSX edges out by just a few tenths but kudos to the Stradista for posting up a time a good couple seconds faster than I thought it pulled, officially marked at 1'59.465".
As I've no doubt said before, or at least alluded to, the drift character of the RKM tunes is incredible. Both RJ and Roj claim to make powerful cars more accessible and there is truth in that claim.
To echo my initial review, another job well done!
