Here's my time to start things off. I'm pretty bad at this game so I'm sure it won't be hard to beat.

Hi pcwzrd13, here's my time....33.394:

Playing on CRT monitor so had to take picture of screen.

Unfortunately your achievements are not possible in the Mazda MX-5. The fastest track time registered at Cyberscore is just under 31 seconds with the Skyline (one of MSR's top tier cars). My track record is just under 30 with the Supra.

Nice, rjay. I thought that 25.000 achievement was...steep.
Been looking forward to this one.
Here's my first effort.....34.232

Nice times guys! Thanks for checking on those achievements for me rjay. I had a feeling the top two might be impossible but I've set achievements that were way too easy before so I like to make them higher (or lower in this case) than I think is possible. Anyway, I have edited them to 32, 35, and 37 seconds. Do you think the 32 can be done?

A time between 33-32 is definitely possible; 32 or below I'm not sure about. I'll have to play some more to decide. Perhaps ChrisHa2049 will set a 31.xxx time before I get the chance? ;)

You may notice that MSR has its own "Par For Car" times for each course/car combination when playing Street Race mode. Unfortunately some of those times for the top-tier cars are also impossible to match!

As it is now, I seriously doubt *I* can get below 32 with this car. (My real best time is just 31.9xx with the Mustang.) If it is possible, I think it'll take a near perfect run at least. But I too need more play to be sure. ;)

Well, I'll leave it at 32 for now. From what you say, it should definitely be a challenge (which is exactly what I want the top tier achievement to be).

It really is a fantastic looking game! It's best experienced through the use of a VGA box.
