Car of the Month October - Featuring the C5 Vette! Tunes and Reviews Wanted

[Bowtie-muscle]

I did take the safe route with my Callaway C12 and I can see from your review that in hind sight, it was the best option to do. It seems that just lately, our tunes are being split by a hair when it comes to time. A slight difference in tuning style but as you say, your tunes work well on some tracks where as my style has better stability on corner exit which has its own advantages. Great review by the way. Thanks for taking the time as I know that your busy with FITT tunes and tests as well as creating tunes for your garage.

Your tune would do much better on a wider variety of tracks, nice job. And thank you. Safe is not always a bad thing in my opinion, gets me and you both better DC, and not far from how I tune anyway. Amazing how our times are super close lately.

@Rush471
I'm trying to setup your transmission values (ratios), can't seem to get it working as you've written it. Can you please give me the order in which you set it? Thanks

I set the final gear to 5.000, then I set the top speed to 220 km/h and set the gear ratios starting from 1st then to 6th. Then set final to 2.930. Hope this helped!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. And who doesn't like, Big...firm...round...Tail lights!!!!

So I thought I'd honor them in a pink Chevy. Not my best tunes (no time really) but I think they turned out okay.

Firstly. Very nice colour. I remember a pink Chevy before and it went down like a lead balloon. secondly, you have. Typo and you put 5500pp I think. Your wish for PD to give us powerful cars came true.

 

[DaBomm4]

@krenkme nice typo, 5500PP, you must have an insane amount of torque for that. 👍

I think all errors are fixed, and thanks guys 👍

Again, not my best tunes, but I needed to contribute.

 

[TurnLeft]

I set the final gear to 5.000, then I set the top speed to 220 km/h and set the gear ratios starting from 1st then to 6th. Then set final to 2.930. Hope this helped!

Yes this seems to be it exactly, thanks, I will probably only get to do it on Sunday, just finished a 12 hour shift, same tomorrow, just feel to much like a zombie to try someone else tune and be fare.
@ krenkme glad to see you've joined in, welcome aboard . I'll try it as soon as I finish Rush471 car.

About me:
These are my impressions, opinions and also me driving, so take what you want and throw the rest in the garbage. The reason I do these reviews is that it helps me as tuner to get better by learning the things “to do” and the “not to do”.
I think that anyone who puts out a tune to be reviewed deserves that we be honest with them, it’s the only way that we can help them better themselves at this craft. I think that we all want to get better at this and that we can all use some help from one another to achieve our goals. If you find that I’m to harsh, please tell me.


About the Tests:
All my lap times are shown in total seconds per lap, I use this method because it’s easier to calculate averages and other things. I run 9 laps on a track and keep my best 3 to calculate the average. I do all the testing in the garage test tracks, track grip = low.

I use a PS3 controller all aids off, abs according to tuner.


Laguna Seca
I’d mention on a preceding post that I was going to do this on Sunday, I was tired and felt like a zombie after a long and tiring shift. So I went to check if the transmission setting was now working properly and took it for a little spin. ended up doing the test drive. The car feels like it has a lot of grip, that is until you hit a bump. If you are not careful after a one of Laguna’s gentle asphalt ripples, you can lose it easily, On this track this was my major concern, I often hesitated because of the fear of losing control, makes you drive with a little less edge. Another little thing that bothered me was the turning on the first and last curves, didn’t feel like I could rotate it like I’d want it and felt I was losing time there. (Don’t worry, I always feel I’m losing time if the throttle is not full.) I’m keeping the flowers for later, for now you’ll have to settle with just receiving the pot.


Deep Forest
Came here with a little apprehension, knew there were some nice waves on this track and I didn’t feel too secure that I could surf this one well here. Well my apprehensions were half right, but on my last 4 laps it was pretty much magic, was it the car or me driving like a zombie? I say it was the car, very fast here, with a little tweaking for bumpy roads this could be a killer. Best Lap was 0.410 seconds faster than my previous best lap. Now I’m going to bed and will finish this another day.


Tsukuba
Well, .... it’s still the fastest car, but, .... on this track you feel bumps that you normally don’t. The car may become unpredictable coming out of turns 1 & 2, when braking if the car skips on a bump it also loses direction. It’s really hard to find faults on a car that you’ve been the fastest on it.


General

Brakes:
The BB balance seems good, did it’s job but with the speed you get with it it could be useful putting an anchor to it.

Power:
I’ll be taking your setup to analyze it, great job, the rev’s are great, the acceleration is great and the speed is fantastic.

MLSD:
Can’t say anything about it but 👍.

Transmission:
Good, just wondering have you tried different ways of setting it up? There may be another way to extract more from this.

Suspension:
I think it feels sometimes a little too stiff, but that's my opinion.

General:
I know I said I was going to do this Sunday, but I just didn’t feel like doing my exercises this morning, so used that time to finish this review. Is this the best that this car could be made to be? Of course not, and if you made it perfect for me another driver would want something a little different, and so on, so very good work here. Keep up the good tunes and a good day to you. 👍

 

[krenkme]

@TurnLeft, no rush. To be honest, you don't have to review it/them. I've been tuning on these forums for over three years, and never got an in depth review such as what you do. I wouldn't know how to react

Honestly, I'm in no rush, except that I have this list with some of the tuners I really want to try out their work, and believe it or not, you are their on the list, yep, black on white, and best of all is you come and deliver it right to me, no effort for me, now how could I possibly not do this. As for not knowing how to react, well one thing that usually helps is a bottle of wine before reading the review, then another after. Should feel P-R-E-T-T-Y G-O-O-D no matter what nonsense I write.
I buy a different car for every tuning I try, than assign a color so that it's easier to find them in my car list, so it's kind of great that you used pink, it will sure make it easier to find it, and most of all it's for a great cause:tup:👍👍. I've also thought of a few things I'll add as a thank you to all the tuners that participated in this thread, you'll all either love it or ban me from ever writing another review.
Have a great day, sleep well, and don't worry.

Tuner Notes

Hello dear gentleman and fellow member of the Tuning profession, would it be possible to verify if the data sheet you provided does not have ant typographical errors, after adding all the said parts, it seems that I am getting a reading of 557PP, 537HP, weight distribution 50/50. I gather that you added a rear wing since you put the rear force at 20. I have double checked on my part but would it be possible that you may do the same please. Very much obliged, thank you for your courteous time. ( I suffer from minor dyslexia, so I may have done something wrong) BTW read this with a British accent it's a lot more fun.

It's probably something on my end. I kinda rushed the posting before I left for work. Not sure when I'll be home and able to check, but I'll let you know. Sorry

Okay. Fixed my problems on the car . Definitely an error on my end. Sorry

Sports computer was missing from my original posts, and I did not use stage 3 weight reduction. All fixed now. Again sorry for my shody work

I use a PS3 controller all aids off, abs according to tuner.


Trial Mountain
Guess what after putting the correction from your post I still wasn’t getting the right values, I said to myself that maybe you just forgot to mention you did an oil change, so I did that, and that wasn’t it. Bought a new one started over and saw my mistake. I put Catalytic converter instead of the sports computer. Damn I hate it when I do things like that.
I chose Trial Mountain for your “Tuner’s Track” because the picture you had, seemed to have been taken their, if it wasn’t, sorry about that.

This one feels totally different from the others:tup:, I think the best description that I can think off is it feels like your in a boat, mind you this is on trial mountain where the waves are pretty big. I found it easy to predict when the car would not make it in/out of curves, just follow the cars sway. I think there might be a little to much body movement for this track, on the other hand if I had taken the time I think that I would have got some incredible pictures here. The oversteer and body movement does make you lose time, but it’s rather fun, I actually did extra laps trying different approaches to the curves and bumps, finally stopped when I rolled over on the last curve before the finish line, you know the one where there’s that ground/dirt that has a slight slope, I hit it.


Deep Forest
To drive this car here you have to use the control of the throttle (gas pedal) a bit, after a bump let go the gas and then peel away, what’s fun is that every little decision has an impact on your lap time, the downfall is that it’s hard to be fast and consistent. Same problem as the track before, to much oversteer, to much body roll, I think these two conditions are brothers in arm, get rid of one and the other will disappear too.


Tsukuba
Generally, smooth here, body roll is less omnipresent, the only thing I can say that I wish it had more speed, I found it was a little too slow here, the engine sound makes you think your making top chrono’s, but when you look at the numbers your kind of disappointed.


General

Brakes:
Real nice balance, this actually saves the car quite often when the body roll wants to take you for a visit too the neighboring walls/trees.

Power:
In general I found my lap times a bit slow, but before blaming it on this section I would interrogate Mister “Suspension”.


MLSD:
I found that with a PS3 controller it’s hard to ease up the gas in a gradual manner which makes out of curves acceleration a bit problematic. If the acceleration sensitivity is not point perfect and you give to much gas your nose goes in or out but not straight. In this case the nose would dive towards the turning side.

Transmission:
I found this interesting, can’t say if it’s good or bad, but I like it when people do different things (especially something I didn’t think off). I took a note of this and will try some experiments with it.


Suspension:
Ok, here is something that is sometimes good:tup:, bad, fun and also a pain. This is just my 2 cents, and since I’m canadian it’s really only worth 1 cent, in my opinion the problem is not the softer spring rates but the ratio between the front/rear spring rates, again I could (and probably) be wrong.


General:
It was fun to try this, I really like cars that are setup differently (feel wise) gives me the opportunity to try things I would not have thought off, no matter what the outcome it’s always gratifying. I had a few apprehensions before doing this one, mainly because of all the little problems I encountered in making the setup work, almost felt it was possessed, and that I shouldn't touch it, good thing I don't even listen to myself.

Have good day and thanks for sharing this with us.

This is just to add a little fun to this thread, take it with a “pinch of salt”, this is just my personal view. Also note that not all cars were tuned with the same PP, ABS, TC, and you guys actually made all the rest of the adjustable parts different too .


I’ve made 4 different categories,

1) The “Gotta get to the bank before it closes” award, this is the car that I would take to do a time trial, or to get to the bank before it closes.

@ Rush471

@ xande1959

@ Bowtie-muscle




2) The “How much time before we get there -’Dad’ ” award. This is the car I would take to a 24 hour race, come out of it without a scratch and an easy win.

@ xande1959

@ shaunm80

@ Ridox2JZGTE



3) The “Can we go for another ride please?” award. This is the car I would take to just have a blast on a track, see how far I can take it and than just push it a little more.

@ krenkme

@ sinof1337

@ Bowtie-muscle





4) The “There’s no way you can do that” award. This is the car that will make me become a better driver, if you can be fast with it, no one will ever catch you.

@ Ridox2JZGTE

@ krenkme

@ sinof1337





I’ve included a few notes I’ve taken, the first is Powering up comparison data sheet, since it was all of your cars that served as guinea pigs for my experiment it’s only fair that I share back the results with you. The second is the compilation of the lap times, and the third is a test I made a while back for the different tire compounds that shows the gain/loss according to the tire type. So to all of you congratulations on your masterpieces, I’ve had a good time doing this.

I finally won something even though my car was the slowest ( lowest PP ), I also really appreciate the bronze ( third ) award , great job on the reviews, and making those data sheets It would take months to do those elaborate calculation and data farming if I were to do it I see that you also share the Honda NSX Type R '92 Ayrton Senna Tribute replica tire vs lap time data, it's very useful to see how much tire can affect lap time.

Been busy and have had little time to respond so I apologize, really did like the award thing and linked it this morning with your reviews so it is listed with all the tunes and reviews. Only problem is this, you may need to do it every month.
As everyone seemed to like it and you did not kiss up to the host of this thread by putting me in every category, and you should not have. I do not mind criticism, otherwise I would not continue in FITT, not everyone likes me tunes all the time and that's ok. Also there sometimes are better tunes, like @shaunm80 Callaway is better than mine in my opinion.

Been busy and have had little time to respond so I apologize, really did like the award thing and linked it this morning with your reviews so it is listed with all the tunes and reviews. Only problem is this, you may need to do it every month.
As everyone seemed to like it and you did not kiss up to the host of this thread by putting me in every category, and you should not have. I do not mind criticism, otherwise I would not continue in FITT, not everyone likes me tunes all the time and that's ok. Also there sometimes are better tunes, like @shaunm80 Callaway is better than mine in my opinion.
Thanks for all you have done in this thread, it is much appreciated and I hope you continue.

I agree, this award thing is really nice. It was nice to have my tune picked for an endurance race, I liked that award.

Gentlemen, good morning from the East Coast. I wanted to take the time and thank everyone who had taken part so far this month with submitting tunes and reviews. Special thanks to @shaunm80 for all your efforts in helping to get it going and to @TurnLeft for being a huge contributor..

I have my choice narrowed down to a one car "Car of the Month" for November between two cars. Will not unveil them yet but next month will be slightly different. For December however, I would like to get back to something similar as this month with it being a one model, one generation type. If you read my thoughts on the first page you will see the type of idea. At the moment I am leaning toward either the BMW or R34 GT-R. Your input would be appreciated and considered.

@Ridox2JZGTE @xande1959 @sinof1337 @krenkme @Rush471 (I tagged you all since you have all taken part)
Once again, I thank you guys.

Your welcome on the assistance. I'd hate to see threads like this disappear completely. As I think I have said to you previously, a lot of new, amazing tunes appear for cars which had very few through threads like this one so I (like yourself) am doing my bit to keep it alive.

I would have to say, BMW is an excellent choice. those cars can be used in many races through career mode and in online seasonals. The R34 GT-Rs equally have a similar number of races they can be entered in. The only thing I have popping into my mind is the R34s look a like and I have found (from personal experience) that one R34 tune will work on another R34 car. For me, BMW is the option I would go with just because the cars look different and there are a lot more variations (such as body styling) that can be applied.

Did I type R34, meant the R33! In my opinion not as good as the R32 or R34, that is why I was considering it.

Ahh. R33... Now there is another story. Hmm. Not many tunes out for those cars.. I still think BMW though, I wanted to buy a BMW 1 series when me and my wife were car hunting but the cost of them was too much for us. Hence we went for a VW Golf instead..

R33, I have replicas of them ( Hosaka Tuning and HKS ) BMW too ( GT4 ) Either way are great

Not a fan of the Datsun, but maybe I just never really gave it a chance. I like BMW though
