This is a thread for sharing test reports of Stunts cars: all cars are fair game, and everyone is welcome to contribute. It is a spiritual successor to the "Trying out Ryoma's cars" thread from the 2022 preseason, and accordingly tests from there will be linked from here as well.

Let's begin with one of Alan Rotoi's muscle cars, the 1967 Pontiac GTO (forum thread)!

• Gears: 5
• Powergear: No (unreachable)
• Flat track top speed: 167 mph
• Real top speed: 177 mph
• 0-60 mph: 3.75 s
• Time to hill at Default (auto gears): 11.40 s (References: F40 - 10.75 s; GTO - 12.10 s; Vette - 12.25 s)
• Default test lap (NoRH, classic line): 1:25.65
• First impressions: With excellent acceleration offsetting its relatively low top speed and pretty good handling for its class, the Pontiac GTO is an imposing car with plenty of potential. It will be interesting to see how it compares with its stablemates in the Tier 1 muscle cars pack, as well as where the other tiers will stand relatively to it.

Today's car is Ryoma's Porsche 959! (forum thread)

Important: If you downloaded the 959 from Southern Cross or somewhere else before today (2024-01-06), make sure you have the most recent version of the car, which is attached below, as there have been performance adjustments.

• Gears: 6
• Powergear: No
• Flat track top speed: 209 mph
• Real top speed: 218 mph
• 0-60 mph: 3.75 s
• Time to hill at Default (auto gears): 10.90 s (References: F40 - 10.75 s; GTO - 12.10 s; Vette - 12.25 s)
• Default test lap (NoRH, classic line): 1:24.05
• First impressions: A step above the GTO/Vette tier, the 959 occupies a niche of high-end sports cars similar to the Diablo VT featured earlier in this series -- though the 959 is slightly but quite noticeably ahead when it comes to grip. A pretty enjoyable ride, all in all.

Thanks for this insight - and the link! Was having a hard time finding this car
Having not driven the 959 before, I'm loving it's performance and handling!
