F.I.T.T. - Clueless Classic Shootout (It's over. Thanks Everyone :D)

[trackripper123]

I'm in with the 2D Race Car '67...

Oh great. That's my tune made a lot harder.

 

[krenkme]

I'm in with the 2D Race Car '67 ,let's see what can be done with it.
I've also tested the Honda S800 race car to duel with the professor RJ ,but i've found that this car maxed even with RH tires is too much grippy and hide a lot the tune . Just need to let the car balanced and the rest is with the pilot. Braking at the right point and accelerate at the right moment. It pass anywhere full gas anyway.
I think it would be good to make another categorie for it, perhaps, perhaps i'm wrong... Don't know.👍

Got you signed up.

How does this sound?
- If you enter a tune you may be part of the "side shootout". Where we all tune a S800 on sport softs (maxed out) for more prizes... or maybe just another shootout by its self?.......

I think the S800 race cars need their own class/shootout. They are great little cars and lots of fun but no way are they lap time competitive with the more powerful cars.

How about fastest S800 will receive the same prize 5th place gets? A car worth 75,000 credits.

Should I add it as a "side shootout" or wait for a shootout by itself?

Sounds good. I may need to have a new "slowest Tune" prize though (it is/was the prize )

I don't think you have to change it just because the S800 has it's own mini-contest now, but if you really must, you might as well just change it to the road car.

Happy New Year!

Sign me up as a tester

I do not know which car I will tune (Challenger maybe?) but sign me up as a testie and tuna.

I just might have to do that... or a Life van

Chevy Camaro Z28 [RM] '69 - Tuna

Drove this car so early in GT5 days I don't remember anything other than it was badass, and needed an LSD more than anything I'd ever driven.

Thanks for joining

EDIT - I've been thinking up a way to include the Honda, but me truck has broken down and my time has been spent trying to find a way home.

We most likely will have a mini shootout with it, just not sure how yet.

 

[Onboy123]

Anyone got any times down yet? I've started on my car (my childhood dream car of sorts being my car of choice), got a 1:30.xxx with no power added, just slight tweaks of aero and diff…and gearbox.

1:30.xxx seems about right. Ran a 1:38.xxx with the Alfa

My carrot car ran a 1:38 too. At least I'm not off pace.

Separate class seems like the easiest way. There may be fancier ways though.

I had a blast with this on one of the recent seasonals... looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

I'm sure there is a fancy way to do it... but I'm not that good.

This shootout will take place as is. Then (if the next organizer doesn't mind) we will have a very quick shootout involving the Honda at Laguna Seca to see who can tune the fastest, slow racer.

Prizes, and time for it (I'm guessing a week... since we know it's coming ) will be coming soon.

Now all I need to do is get home and finish my tune and and help Ripper with his blind tune... still stuck in Minnesota

 

[wildheart90]

I just got a brand new ferrari so i'll give this a go

Glad to see you back my friend. Adding you now.

... not as lively a shootout as we've had in the past. Not as interesting as I had hoped, it seems.

Anyway, I think the Ferrari is calling my name... or maybe the Dodge

 

[Motor City Hami]

Not sure if I am in or out on this one? Worked on a couple of cars that may be good enough, but that hasn't been my style lately. If I post before the deadline then I am in.

This is really shaping up to be a battle between American, big, heavy, powerful and Euro(ish - with one Ford in there) light weight, aero friendly race cars.

Well…I've got myself a 450hp, 800kg go-kart…Should be good fun fighting it out with Ford GTs and the like. You should host rooms for this as well like you did with the RC shootout.

 

[XDesperado67]

Guess I should start testing and tuning my entry...got sidetracked by a late Christmas present of MC:LA complete edition.

Either going with huge American muscle or the Jaaagggg.

 

[Johnnypenso]

I bought but have yet to drive the Ferrari. I may have time before the end of the week to put something together with it in the tuning department. I won't officially enter until I'm sure I can get it done if that's ok.

I do hope you can find the time and car.

I am more looking forward to testing then tuning for this one. Should have some great cars

You bet 👍

I too have been a little sidetracked. I found some of my PSOne games over the holidays and have been playing them

I do hope you can enter. Look forward to testing your tunes

I tested the 63 Corvette. A fun car, but so much power. I can get wheel spin all the way into 3rd gear.
The Jag, Ferrari, GT40, Camaro and Mark IV are all cool too, but each have some bad habits to break. It wil be interesting to see if anyone can build a really perfect tune at this PP level. One of my cars has outside wheel spin in one set of corners, then inside wheel spin on another set. LSD is my speciality and I am stuck choosing one of those flawed selections. It's been frustrating, but hey, these are low tech 60's era race cars. The men who actually raced these had giant attachments.

 

[VTiRoj]

I don't know if I'm just expecting too much from an Alfa Romeo made in 1965, but I really don't like how my Carrot Car is handling. I feel like taking the turbo off, switching out the racing hards for a set of sports softs and go after the driver's choice award.

Each car has its own little problems, but I've had FUN trying alot of them. 👍

I love the feel of the car (tuned by Clueless ), but it seems to be about 8 to 10 seconds off the lead... still may enter it myself though. (Only car I drive exclusively with in car view )

Mine just feels really boring to drive. It has 254bhp and racing tyres so it just appears to have infinite grip at the rear. I just get this really dull handling experience from it. It's doing 1:36 though which I suppose is good. I'll see if I can't bring some life back into it without resorting to putting sports tyres on it. 👍

 

[CSLACR]

My Camaro sits on a 27.387 with room for 26's @ 600PP. With chassis rigidity.
Building one for without chassis rigidity now.(Understeer a small problem)

I don't expect it'll run anywhere near the top, but faster than I expected.
