What Four Race Cars Will You Use To Shatter Afroduck's Manhattan Lap Record?

Above is Afroduck’s Lap of Manhattan. As you can see, and as proven by the 24:10.07 time, it’s still pretty tame. We think that a few contract signings and road closures and SAFER barrier installations will be enough to set an even more blistering lap . And you’re getting four cars, because every manufacturer is in on this.

Once again, the car you choose is a package deal, meaning once you choose a car, you also get their crew, supplies, and one spare car.

Now, this time, there will be ground rules.

Of the four slots that you’re given, one has to be a rally car or Pikes Peak Unlimited special, of any vintage . Only one. Just one.

The second slot has to be a GT (GT1, GT2, GTE/GTLM, GT3) racer.

The other two slots are free , but you can’t have two of either classes in the preceding slots (you can’t go have another rally car and another GT car).

And finally, list them according to the order you’re driving them —which one will you drive first, drive after that, the second-to-last car you’ll drive, and the last one you’ll drive.

Here are my choices.

First go: Honda HSV-010GT

Second go: Audi R18 e-tron quattro (2013)

Third go: Toyota MR2 222D Group S

Last go: Brabham BT44B

Now it’s your turn. We’re not gonna necessarily rub it in to Afroduck, but we’re here to push the limits while still keeping things relatively safe and sane. Besides, he gave the challenge. Might as well accept it.

Audi R18 TDI four times because there’s no better car to do the job.

What’s the bike that set the Isle of Mann TT record? That. And the car that set the fastest time for cars.

Yes, yes, the Subaru Time Attack car.

I intentionally left that out so another user can pick it up.

How about cars that have won the Safari Rally? Paris-Dakar Rally?

Maybe if Manhattan was overcome with aggregate and/or sand.

I’d rather choose four cars to drive in Manhattan while someone is attempting the record.

That Jeep ain’t gonna stand a chance.

No, here’s what I propose: the suspension tune is for tarmac, same with tires, but the engine is a tougher, Safari-spec tune.

Oh, and BTW, you’re forgetting Stadium Super Truck. They run on tarmac.

They’re also bouncy as hell and not built for high-speed maneuvers like a P1 car.

Who needs an engine tougher than one that can run more than 24h nonstop at full pace for a lap that would last not even half an hour though?

I do think I now know what you’re getting on with those.

And I say: Bring it on. Oh, and really, use another heavy-equipment monster, not that Jeep. It’s just doesn’t gel well. This is America, after all. Go full-on.

Jeep’s just there to block the road and ruin the run

Nothing a quick carpenter and some construction material can’t solve.

First: Corvette C7.R

Second: Peugeot 208 T16

Third: Williams FW14B (how much advantage will active suspension get me?)

Fourth: The real record breaker- Ferrari F2004

Can I just say: all the racecars you guys are picking will be absolutely destroyed because planet-sized potholes/bumps.

Rod Millen’s stupid fast “Tacoma.” (First, because daylight)

Acura NSX GT3 (second, because it would look evil under the cover of darkness)

GRM Challenge ChEaparral sucker vette. (Third, because it would take ages to get running).

Mello Yellow Lumina Stock Car. (Days of Thunder, even with the casual racism, still evokes good memories so I figure I’ll end on a high note with the whole city illuminated).

Huh, this is my first time seeing the actual footage, just watched parts of the full thing. I’m surprised he got in so much trouble, other than a handful of parts, you’re right - he’s really not going that fast. I guess I assumed otherwise haha.

1. E53 X5 4.8is - Fast but not too fast for the first time.

2. S65 AMG - Way faster but also comfy.

3. 2016 STI rstage rally car prepped for tarmac obvs

4. Conti GT3 last because I’d definitely crash it
