Hi all, today I bring you a little something special! I have done some research into some of the best 500pp cars out there by some of the best tuners on gtplanet, and put their tunes to theory. Why 500pp I hear you ask? When online, I prefer to use 500pp as I believe it is the most fun/competitive rank. Now before I annoy or upset some people, there is a few things I would like to get clear:
I am nowhere near the perfect driver, possibly not even classed as 'good' (lol), so the lap times may not be fully the result of the tunes, it may be down to my driving and preferences. another thing, if your tune is not here, it doesn't mean your tune is not the best, definitely not; I only picked out what I acknowledged as the most popular or interesting tunes, and I only had time to do 7 cars.
What did I do? thanks to the people here,
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/best-track-for-testing.321875/, I decided to test these cars at the Trial Mountain track, as I concluded it was the best overall test for these cars. I did a few hotlaps for each car, and recorded down my fastest lap time for each one. I 100% did the cars and tunes accurately to what their source (creators official tune list) stated.
So here is my leaderboard!
Sorry that it is not to clear:
1st=1:36.725=LotusMotorsportElise'99=Shaunm80
2nd=1:38.289=HondaIntegraTypeR'04=JakeDog23
3rd=1:39.111=JaguarSTypeR'02=Praiano63
4th=1:.39.991=SubaruImprzWrxSti'07=Slender_Man
5th=1:40.291=Rx7SpiritTypeA'02=MotorCityHami
6th=1:40.549=LancerEvoIvGsr'96=Bowtie-Muscle
7th=1:42.198=FordFocusRs'02=TUNERXANDE1959
