I just wanted to say that I love your tunes. Avid is the first brand that I look for when searching for tunes and I'm even preferring to use cars that you have tuned...
Compared to others, Avid tunes have just the right balance of handling and stability. I find that some tunes go crazy for toe-in and use imbalanced front-rear settings that imbalance the car. This almost makes me think they are "winging it" and tuning for an unusual personal style.
If I had minor requests for Avid, those would be: I'd like to see you tune more race cars and work on tunes specific to Nurburgring. I'd also love some commentary and YouTube videos that actually show the "work in progress" of your tunes; perhaps showing how the same series of turns look with different settings so we can all gain a better understanding of the principles.

I do believe all your tunes are up to date as of this exact point in time. You have had 8100+ views of your tunes (with less than half of your tunes on the site) and are the most favorited tuner so far

Do you think that you could release a Formula Gran Turismo tune?

So currently I am tuning a Shelby Cobra 427 '66
I have a problem... In the middle of all corners my rear end starts to skid out and I have tried everything to correct it. I think the problem is that I can not achieve the correct amount of downforce on the rear of the car, but does anyone have some ideas that can correct this without the use of a wing (since no aero kits are available for the Cobra).I have tried adjusting the roll bar, camber, toe, spring rate, and ride height along with all the lsd settings.
My current settings are......
608 hp (No Turbo/Supercharger)
961 kg
SUSPENSION
Ride height: -12, -10
Spring Rate: 7.1, 4.8
Dampers (extension): 4, 6
Dampers (compression): 3, 5
Anti-Roll Bar: 6, 3
Camber Angle (-): 1.4, 1.2
Toe Angle: -.10, .15
LSD
Initial Torque: X, 10
Acceleration Sensitivity: X, 30
Braking Sensitivity: X, 20
BRAKES
Brake Balance: 6, 2
Help me please

Amemiya FD3S RX-7
Its February and Avid is continuing to provide you with more JGTC goodness! Coming up is the RX-7 tuned by powerhouse Amemiya. Much like the Furai concept tune posted previously, I was again taken by surprising at how willing this chassis is. Furthermore, I truly believe that rotary engines and turbos are a match made in heaven, the noise is makes is simply elating - I promise you it it nothing you've ever heard of before.
Anyhow, my abiding memories and first impression of the chassis was one of understeer and a slight reluctance or hesitation on turn-in. I suspected that the front spring rates were too low, and further tuning verified that case.
Further changes were due for the limited slip differential to allow better mid-corner. Aerodynamic properties were optimized with a slight bias towards the front for better traction on turns.
This car is much like the Arta Garaiya - not amazingly fast and certainly won't set you any new records, but hell will it give you bags of smiles when you take it for a spin. Its predictable, clean, and a blast through corners.

Gran Turismo Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car
I was never a big fan of American cars, I concede that the ZR-1 was good, but as I have demonstrated, its rivals from Japan and European countries have done better. However, I stand here dumbfounded by the prowess that is the Ford GT - no, i'm not talking about the garbage you buy from the dealership, but the one you either win or pay a massive amount of credits for. Seriously, this car will blow all of that low into the pages of last year parse (before GT5 was even launched maybe).
I hadn't fiddled with the car (I won one from B-spec i think) until I was smashed by some idiot who claimed to be faster in a Ford than my beloved Supra. The race was on the 'ring (aka green-hell), things looked evenly matched - that was until we reached the second corner - when he suddenly took off in a flurry of smoke and left me trailing in his wake. Needless to say, I was dissatisfied.
The next round, I whipped out my own GT and boy was I dumbfounded. A car of such prestige, pedigree, prowess was sitting in my car this whole time, but overlooked by a wary eye of negligence and somewhat prejudice.
The rest is history. You shall find out soon enough too, once you have enough credits or win the car from B-spec.

This was an experimental car, one I did out of complete and utter boredom. Don't be fooled though, this little baby packs one hell of a punch. It'll put some supercars to shame - it looks somewhat vulgar and ostentatious, but I love it.
Kudos to the French.

Same question as above post. Is the car the LM Spec II Race Car? White with black stripes.
Vette you have truly got me hooked on JGT cars. Your tunes are amazing. It would be fantastic if you could assist with a xavani nismo z tune. I can send you the car for testing. Keep up the good work.

Yea i'm a bit confused too but I finded the diference.
Standard - 1130kg - stage 3 weight
Premium - 1165kg - stage 3 weight - this one matches the tune above.
So can only be premium but let's wait to see what the master say

Sorry guys, a clarification is warranted! Okay, there's little performance gain (if any) between the test car and race car, and in all honesty I think the test car looks a billion times cooler because of the naked carbon fibre panels. Anyhow, the test car is available at the new car dealership for 3.6m credits. On the other hand, the race car can be won through B-spec (or was it A-spec?), or can be bought in the used car dealership. Either way, both cars will satisfy your lust for speed and some more!
Thanks

Got a 6:10 lap on the Nordschelife with the LM Test Car (premium one). It had racing softs. But still, damn fast. And I'm sure a better driver can do it in 5:5x.xx. Great tune, vette. 👍
Oh, and the same tune with the LM Race Car pulled a 6:36 lap. But it was a pretty bad lap with lots of run offs and spins.

Hey Vette i have been tuning all my cars with the tunes you have posted and they are better than ever also could you please do a tuning guide for the Used Toyota Supra RZ the 97 version

Nice tune for the ZR1 RM '09. Best lap time was 1:48.827 for the 3 lap Suzuka Seasonal Event. The only suggestion I'd make is to drop the tranny speed down to 205mph. It will hit the rev limiter on the front straight, but it's just before you brake so no big deal.

I kindly ask you to post on my thread Initial Torque: What do you do? There are so many thoughts and ideas on what it does and I'm trying to get all these thoughts in one place, so we can compare them all to one another. I would like you to post as your a well respected tuner and probably have a well defined idea of what Initial Torque. You can find a link in my signature, it's the second one down.
