Notes: AAAAAAAH!
This tune is full of firsts for me and for VL. It is the first tune that proudly displays "Tuned on a wheel" below the header, and it is the first tune tuned using a manual transmission. It is also the first tune that I don't really want to publish. Tuned by request, I would have thrown this car away as a failure by the makers if I didn't have to keep trying. This car will kill you if you aren't on your guard. Maybe it's just because I'm not as used to the DFGT as I want to be, but there really isn't anything that anyone can do for this car. IRL I would put a big fat wing on the back and turn it up to 11, but for some strange reason PD wants this car to be challenging. For a car that came close to being the Lamborghini Diablo, it sure does deliver! 16 cylinders mounted amidships makes this car a force to be reckoned with...in a straight line. Next to useless around corners. If you want a semi-decent 800HP drag car, use this. But of course I don't tune for drag races. I tune for speed. And this car has globs of speed, wrapped up in a huge dosage of screaming metal death trap. Use at your own risk.

The tune so far is called Venom Project R. That name won't stick, though.
Here is a picture of my test at Monza. My lowest time of about three laps was 1:58.975:

Notes: Gran Turismo 4 was the first GT I played where I actually spent most of my time tuning. My first car in Gran Turismo 4 was the Ford Mustang GT '05, in blue. When playing the Sunday Cup and other beginner events, I noticed just how much potential this car showed. I put hours and hours and hours into perfecting the tune for it, and that is basically how I learned to tune cars in GT. When I decided to start publishing my tunes for Gran Turismo 4, I went by the name "Reaper Labs", and the second tune I released was for the 2005 Ford Mustang GT. It was received so well, and I it became so popular that I decided to continue tuning even after I moved on to GT5. I donned a new name, joined a different site and the rest is history.
History lesson aside, this car is an absolute joy to drive. It has just the right amount of power, torque, and weight to be able to put it's power to the ground without any nasty under- or oversteer. This tune takes all of that and brings it to the extreme. You would think you are driving a Suzuki Servo the way it just turns and shoots of like a rocket! This is a great car if you are transitioning from an automatic transmission to a manual transmission, as well as if you just want to have a good time driving.
I spent at least six hours on tuning and testing for this car, which is nothing compared to how much time I spent on it in GT4. Still, considering my average tune time is somewhere around an hour, that is a lot of time and certainly the most time I have ever spent on one car in GT5.

Some of you may know that I recently made a news post saying that I was in the process of tuning a Nissan R92CP '92.
Well, I'm not. That car is a piece of disgrace, I can't believe I spent all that money on it :yuck:

I am now stuck between two cars, and I might as well ask here which one you guys would most like to see.
I know that there are what, two people that post in this thread, but never mind that.
Here are the two:

  • Audi A2 1.4 '02
  • Jaguar E-Type Coupe '61

I'll check back on this thread sometime tomorrow and tally the votes.
 
The A2, believe it or not, is a handful (fully tuned), but a good car. The Jag is...well a Jag, and is far from ugly (unless you find Margret Thatcher a pretty women... then you need help :dopey: )
 
Well, it's an absolute tie considering QS didn't actually vote, so I make the final call and say that I'll just tune both. Expect the A2 first.
 
That works:tup: To be honest in case you haven't noticed:sly:, personally if any car can be custom painted, thats exactly how i like it.👍 Choice is yours of course:bowdown:
 
Very cool, thread. Great to see someone who tunes their cars to the max. Kudos. [ tune the e-type first ;-) ].Ciao

Thanks!👍

To be honest, both the A2 and E-Type will have to wait. I am in the process of reworking (if necessary) the Mustang tune due to...reasons I won't say here.
 
Coming soon to a Venom Labs near you:
Jaguar E-Type​
8098409352_6e38c4b10d_k.jpg

(Yes, that is unedited from GT5)
This classic English sports car also went by the name XK-E. It is often called (and I have no idea why) one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. When fully upgraded, it may not have as much power as modern supercars but it is remarkable lightweight, weighing in at just over 1000kg. Be sure to stick around for this high-speed tune, and expect it some time in the next couple days.

EDIT: 200th reply! I never expected VL to get this big...

We've even been featured on the latest episode of the GTPodcast!

Notes: Ah, yes. The famed Jaguar XK-E, more commonly known as the E-Type. For quite some time this car has been sitting in my garage gathering dust, but one day I looked at it and instead of seeing it's ugly lines and poorly modeled headlights, I saw it's 3.8 liter straight six engine and a chassis that wants to roll. Another car that caught my eye was the 120 miles/gallon Audi A2 hatchback, and as most of you already know I put up a poll to see which one people wanted more. It was a tie (one vote each), and thus the XK-E is here, and will be followed shortly by the Audi.
When I first took this car out to the track, I was impressed only by it's slowness. However, bringing it up to 440 horsepower and down to less than 1050 kg whilst also installing a rollcage brought out the inner beast of the XK-E: oversteer. But not oversteer in the sense of the Pagani or Ruf, this is a different (E-)type of oversteer unique to front engined cars. A combination of a long wheelbase and basically no braking stability meant that the car simply wanted to turn, often more than you told it to. No amount of suspension tuning could tell a car like that how to go about it's business, so I turned to the often overlooked side of tuning, the one that is more unique to each car than any other part of my job. I am referring to the differential, of course.
The Jaguar E-Type was the basis for the unraced Jaguar XJ13, but this car is by no means a race car. Slow turns are it's speciality, and I had ot reteach this car how to car, if that makes any sense. I wasn't planning on putting in the rollcage (I rarely do when tuning), but this British robot needed it. I realize only now how much I have been rambling about how bad the car is, so let me fade into the actual process of tuning.
The first thing I did (as always) was lower it and overhaul the transmission. If you use the method I use for tuning the transmission, it becomes very hard for the poor little S6 to get out of first gear, so you will notice a shorter first gear in this tune as opposed to my other tunes. My leaderboard for lap times around my track is dominated by high-powered supercars such as the Aventador, Veyron and Viper (God, how long ago was that tune?). At the bottom is the good ol' Vauxhall Skyfire, and for some reason this car couldn't break the Vauxhall's lap time. Extensive tuning was necessary.
I'm rambling too much, try the tune for yourself and see how you like it. It has been a LONG time since I said I would tune it (almost a week), and I know my two-strong fanbase is holding their breath for it.:lol:

And one final note before I give you the times and head off: use the throttle sparingly. Second gear is your best friend with this car.

Notes: When I first decided to tune the Audi A2, I thought it would be just another hatchback. Just an oversized Yaris that might understeer due to it's drive wheels. It isn't. It is a 250+ horsepower pocket rocket, that truly defines the term "point and squirt".
The real Audi A2 broke the world record for miles per gallon, achieving 120 MPG on a flat road about ten years ago. To this day that record has not been broken, and the A2 isn't even a hybrid. Well, the RS 2 Kleine Blitzschlag doesn't really car about that. I honestly don't know what it's MPG is, although the large turbocharger must contribute to that somehow. This car could take on the best of the FFs, even the legendary Peugeot 207 GTi, and most likely win. It is a raw and unforgiving cute little hot hatch, but take it to the track and it is practically on fire. For reference, Kleine Blitzschlag is German for "tiny flash of lightning".

For a FF car this has a lot of front end bite. In the bends it grabs the corner and just grips all the way round. Only on very hairpins, pushing very hard did I get understeer. The setup is very stiff but despite this I was flying over the curbs on the left right chicane at the end of Autumn Ring and having a blast on the twisty section. It coped well over the jump on Cape ring too, not squirming upon landing, remaining safe and secure. Despite its size this was also a blast to take round 'the Ring', even on the fast section after Berkwurk.
Not usually a fan of racing tyres but they work well on this.
Nice Car

First off, thanks again for the review.
I was also surprised with the performance of the car, not something you usually get from an FF (other than the SRT4). The car itself is a very agressive tune, as most of them are, and I am glad it fared well on the Nurburgring, as I don't test there and haven't driven the car on it yet.
And I 99.9% of the time use Racing Soft tires for my tunes, simply because it is faster.

Notes: I wasn't planning on tuning a Honda ever again, nor was I planning on tuning anything premium, but the color of this car looked nice so here it is.
稲機 (pronounced "ine-ki'') is Japanese, obviously. The car has been completely riced out: a complete overhaul of the engine brought peak power output to over 180, torque to 195, and the car was lightened to a tad more than 1,000 kg. It is a hybrid, but it doesn't rely on it's electric motor to do much. You can run the battery dry and it will still hot it's top speed with little difficulty. It is front wheel drive, but it is fast for a 430PP car...more or less. If you are doing any endurance races for 430PP cars, I suggest this, as it handles well and gets wonderful gas mileage.
