Well I searched the web for a bit but was only able to find 1 tune for this car (Ford Taurus SHO)

I went in expecting it to be a few seconds faster but I found the opposite. My tune got a 1:22.054 on midfield but the best I could pull off in the other tune was 1:25.212.
My conclusion is that either my tune is actually pretty good, or this other tune is just really bad, but I got it off the gt6 directory so I don't think that's it

Edit: took one of Shaun's cars with a similar power, weight, FF N/A out on the same track and my Taurus was still 1.6 seconds faster. Starting to think my tune is actually of good quality.

I used Shaun's 147 GTA at 450
Also here is the link to the Taurus tune I used

You could be right,but here is the thing. Maybe when someone else uses your tune he's slower then with another tune.
Me fore one noticed that @shaunm80 's tunes fit my drivestyle.
So basicly, the tune must also fit your drivestyle. And also if you drive gamepad or wheel.
(Posting with my phone limits some gimmicks :-) )

the Ford is actually a good car. So comparing it to another car is hard to do. It's s online sleeper car actually.
Find a tuner that tunes fit your style pretty well the find a car you have used in their list tune it and compare that way.

What Drug did the guys at SRT smoke for making the Tomahawk?
LOl
The trick to the Tomohawks is to keep the power down. They turn much better with power then with out. And lots and lots of trying. If you're not great with throttle control use TC 5-8 to keep the back in check

After practicing with both tunes I learned mine was slightly slower but the other persons tune always felt unstable at high speeds, like it didn't want to go where it was supposed to. Mine feels much more stable although there is still a touch of understeer most noticeable in the long sweeper corners which I believe is from how heavy it is

Just glancing at it the sweeper understeer is prolly due to the front being too stiff or the rear too soft. It's not getting enough weight on the outside front at speed.

I made some changes to the suspension and removed the spoiler, just because it looked kinda awkward with it on there
