"69... Année érotique..." like Gainsbourg sang. And the Stingray is damn sexy !

With a 240km/h gearbox, I win Bronze in Deep Forest in Historic Car championship, 1 second after the two first cars, a GT40 Racing and a Chaparal. For a car that weigth almost twice as the Chaparal, that's quite a challenge !

What can I say more : it's cheap - 60k, it's premium... Go for it !

I realise for the guy asking for her it's been a long time, I was fine tuning this and that. I restarted 3 times the suspensions of that car because there was something I wanted to be under perfect control (powersliding, but only mid curve and nowhere else), just to make her eat corners. And... Since it's a very pleasant car to drive, I think I was playing around with her a little too much, sorry for that... My mileage is 785.3km, woops

I think the guys who liked this Scuderia setup will appreciate that Stingray...

Any comments, improvements or suggestions are welcome.

Tips
- At 50%-75% of a U-turn, step LOUDLY on the gaz for the lulz. It's actually quite effective, try it !
- It's a shame she have no sixth !! Her gearbox is quite a mess, too. She's like a Porsche : you set max gearbox and she's still higher speed than 10km/h less than max. Polyphony, why didn't you proposed a 56560560560560km/h gearbox just for that car ? Because she would break the speed of ligth ?

Hey,the tune worked great.Nice to get revenge on those lambos!Going to try out your tune for the old jag now,thanks.

 

[Jeff G]

Very nice tune. Thanks.

Is that a negative 20 for ride height? Mine only goes to -5.

 

[starcb26]

Are the camber and toe angles supposed to be switched? You can't have a negative camber angle.

It's a first class car for me too... Actually my first "trully" supercar which I spent a lot to tuned up... I tried hard to win the Historic Car Challenge in Deep Forest driving my Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (C3) '69 but... No! I' ll try again using the tuning you propose... I understand that it's very difficult to win racing cars over 700HP and less 1000Kls with a Convertible '69... But it cost to much to buy a racing car of 60-70's... So I'll give a try once more... Thanks!

PS. I agry with you about the 6th gear... It's missing from this car... Too Bad!

This tune didnt work for me - turned the car into a twitchy mess when braking hard

I tried this tune after being dissatisfied with another, and it's much better. I run sport soft tires so there's some understeer at the limit but turning was really difficult with the original tune, not so here. Not bad for a '69. Everyone complaining about the gearbox, remember that the stock one is a 4 speed

 

[kevargas05]

Awesome tune! Thanks.

You have the compression dampers set higher than the extension dampers??? Does this work the game says extension dampers should be set higher than the comprssion..

Sometimes yes, mostly not.
