LDP Banshee 3000 Predator Edition
(360hp/268kw @ 6,700rpm) (404Nm/298ft-lbs @ 5,200rpm) (1310kg) (481 PP)
Description: Based on the naturally aspirated version of the often overlooked and under rated Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO, and chosen due to its lighter weight over the turbo model, Lion's Den Performance is proud to present our very first ever Predator Edition working out of the new garage. Aptly named due to the fact that it's a naturally aspirated screamer, the team at LDP have worked on turning this into one mean street cross track car. The engine has been honed to produced almost 270kw whilst still retaining the 3.0L displacement, and the torque is ample anywhere you wish to plod it in the rev range. The real news however is in the chassis work, all non-essential items were removed, bringing it down to 1310kg, and we've done much to the suspension and drivetrain allowing near race car like adjustability. Of course, any old shop could do these things, where LDP shines is where we hone the handling and general setup through these parts. The result is a sublime drive, one that was capable of close to 7'30 lap times at Nurburgring. Enjoy our first new release, feedback is always appreciated!
Base Model: Mitsubishi 3000GT SR (J) '95- I'm working to see whether this will work on any naturally aspirated 3000GT/GTO, not yet confirmed however.

Tuner's Notes:
The ideal shift point would be 7,000rpm, however on corner approach it's fine to use the full 8,000rpm
You may notice some settings are unchanged from default, this is not due to confusion, they were simply that good as is. You may also notice the toe angle is at zero, this is good for tyre wear, but the main reason was being that the car already handled pleasurably, and in particular I didn't want to throw out the braking balance. With the extra options for tuning over Prologue the setup can be honed in other areas nicely. I also thought that sending more torque to the rear wheels would have made the car turn better as it should, it simply wasn't the case here.
The tail can kick out under light braking applications due to the four wheel steer. It can be a help or easily avoided, but something to be aware of.
The Sports Exhaust was chosen for the sound, if you're overly keen get the racing exhaust if you wish. Alternatively, there is a glitch in the game that if you enter the chosen event with the sports exhaust equipped, then switch to the race exhaust, the sound will remain the same but you'll have the extra power. Since that'd need to be done before every race, I don't bother.
