Decided to go with American Muscle, doubt it will be running for top lap times but the sound of that engine!
Realized my initial test bed car had the chassis ridgity on it so got a new one and the understeer is all but gone now.
Got my Bobs smoking the field at the Laguna Seca 200 currently to get It fully broken In.
I tried to tune the Dodge. Although I love the car, and the sound, I felt I needed to go Euro

@krenkme like I said it will probably be well off the pace...but that sound is "Plum Crazy"!

Don't feel bad my best so far with my Challenger is only a 1:31.075.
I'm sure with a bit more fine tuning and some luck I can get "Plum Crazy" into the 1:30s but seriously doubt I can get a sub 1:30 lap with my driving and this car.
At least it sounds great!

Uuuuggghhh!!! I am so pissed! Bought a new car, broke it in with Indy 500, saved game... but when I came back today, there is nothing in the race log showing the event and the car is back to zero miles? I was counting on tonight to tune a car, not break one in.

I hate this feeling of being so slow again, I only just managed to crack the 29s in my Ferrari. It's like we're back to the very first shootout with me being at the very back of the pack.
I might…just might have to pull out if nothing goes my way though.

Your still doing better than me...mid 1:30s here with "Plum Crazy" and don't think I can get much if anything more out of it. Picked up the last .4 of a second with an adjustment to the transmission that helped reduce the wheelspin in second gear.I hate this feeling of being so slow again, I only just managed to crack the 29s in my Ferrari.
I might just might have to pull out if nothing goes my way though.
The LSD is frustrating me as I'm getting inside wheelspin on some corners and outside on others...
Will probably give it a rest for the night then make one more stab at improving the tune before tomorrow's deadline.
Oh and did I mention the sound?

I am almost finished with tuning my Dodge and sitting right around 1:30's. At least that great sound is also helpful in drowning out the tire spin that occurs almost every corner when driving quickly.
My best lap had 8 out of 10 sectors with one of the rear tires in the red while cornering and still holding a decent line.

7-Litre BBQ 615PP
based on the Dodge Challenger R/T RM '70
After lightly tuning the base model Challenger R/T, I decided I would have a go at tuning the bad-boy RM version. The additional power and loss of over 400kg doesn't help with traction out back. A bit of ballast out back did wonders for rear traction and also helped to reduce understeer. The chassis has been setup to be more aggressive while attempting to control the ever present wheel spin. My best quick lap had a few one-wheel smokey burnouts around Nurburgring GP/D. At least the exciting sounds coming from the exhaust can mostly drown out the awful tire noise!

If I read the OP right, I'm supposed to send the full Tune in a PM to you Krenkme, and then you will post them all at some point, as opposed to posting my tune here directly? I'm commencing the PM to go to you...

Not sure I've ever driven a car that was so sensitive to just about every tuning adjustment available. The car is very sensitive to begin with as probably suits a race car of this era but I think I finally got it to the point where it's driveable and consistent, if a tad too safe. Putting the power down consistently was very tricky and it can still get a bit wild if you aren't quite balanced but you'll get the hang of it in a lap or two. Rolling on the throttle out of a couple of key corners will help, especially the two hairpins. 👍
Might be worth noting that I've recently moved from DFGT to a G27 and this is my first full fledged effort at tuning with the new wheel. It does make it throttle and steering inputs more accurate, but not sure how it will translate to other wheels or DS3.
Didn't drive any other cars in the competition but the laptimes seemed pretty good although I'm guessing the 2D will be tough to beat. I was able to consistently run 1:26.3-1:26.6 with a best of 1:26.1, Also note that I left off the Mid-RPM Turbo option and sacrificed 100 hp in the process. I did try it but it made the car much more difficult to control with minimal gains in a straightline and most of that given away under braking, hence the lack of turbo.
Hope you enjoy the ride!!👍👍

Dodge Challenger R/T RM '70, "Plum Crazy"
Krenkme from Clueless Tunes announced his Classic Race Car Shootout and this is Ol'Harvey Wallbanger's entry. While not the fastest of cars from that era it's looks and sound are a great transport back in time when the American Auto Manufacturers were engaging in an all out war with their muscle car offerings trying to entice younger customers to buy their offerings. The concept was simple put a big engine in a small or mid size body then send the cars out to tracks all over the country to race. The mantra was "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday" and until rising insurance costs, government regulations and the gas crises intervened the formula was very successful. This Challenger is representative of the end of that era, a final salvo to the war if you will. With the burbling growl of the race tuned BIg Block HEMI it's easy to imagine tearing up the tracks across the country in the SCCA Trans-Am series or blowing through the quarter mile at your local drag strip. Driving such a monster at speed around a road coarse is not for the faint of heart indeed one would have to be "Plum Crazy" to push such a beast to its limits. Technology has moved on and cars are faster, safer and easier to drive now. Yet if like the Ol'Wallbanger you long for the thrills of a bygone era where men tested their skills and courage by muscling overpowered brutes around a track at insane speeds then you to may find the joy in driving "Plum Crazy".

Drive hard and have fun!
