Lap Time; 1:08.759 DC; 8.2
Impressions of the tune;
Solid, dependable and very consistent đź‘Ť. But lacking in that X-factor for me unfortunately
. The transmission made the difference over the other cars around the same lap-time, with much better acceleration out the corners
. This is more for those of us who like the slow in fast out approach than those of us who like to try and carry the speed through the corners. The suspension was very on the soft side which did help maintain grip on the cobbled surface and over curbs, but I felt it did hinder the car a little in the loop round the colosseum a bit. Brakes were very good if applied in a straight line, but really didn't help if needed to balance the car in the bends (caused a bit of understeer). Generally a good tune and I can tell it works as meant, just not as much my cup of tea as others may be.

Felt a little like Otaliema's car (Just checked the settings and see you both went with similar BB and LSD settings đź’ˇ) But with a bit more of the X-factor đź‘Ť I liked the suspension balance of this one more though. Felt better through the bends and a bit more stable on exit too, due to the extra support of the higher rear springs. Just didn't feel it had the same pull as his car, perhaps because I was already coming out a little quicker to begin with
. Great job on this one. For personal preferances I'll be making some small tweaks for taste and keeping this one around for sure.

We'll keep this short and sweet. If you had used either@Dabomm4's or
@Ridox2JZGTE's brake selection, a slightly stiffer rear spring (with recalibrated alignment of course
) and a little higher pre-load (LSD initial setting
) this would have been a 10 for me and would have probably ended up on top of the time sheet too. A very fun car, as you said, just what you want from a MR Ferrari
. I didn't even mind the "stock" transmission, I think the power upgrades put it in a good place and it works out quite nicely. Should have been down in the 1:08.7s but I just couldn't put it all together. Great build Ode

Impressions of the tune:
Shouldn't be too much of a surprise to you that your car's lap time is way own at the foot of the leaderboard. But not by as much as I thought if I am being honest, given the extra weight she seems to have put on over the holiday
But I know what you were trying to achieve and I know the limits you have doing it your way
. With that said. Nice build my friend. Very smooth power delivery (when my thumb was smooth enough at least
) and good balance. The steering was extremely sensitive, making it difficult for old heavy thumbs to hold the required steerning angle....or to catch the ensueing slides
. The "stock" car is just a little to soft for my tastes round here and the E-Diff is a little tight for my liking, On a positive note brakes worked like a charm, even if they did have more asked of them than anyone elses
Nice replica dude, a real pleasure and not as scary as some of your Lambos around that PP bracket
. (Just remembered you did a Reventon for this challenge too
should have kept my big mouth shut
)

Impressions of the tune;
A little bumpy at times and not a big fan of the BB settings ( for me 3/5 worked way better
), otherwise this was a great fun car to drive and was pretty quick too. A longer final gear ratio would have helped a bit and would have put this car right up with the big boys on the lap board for me. Really good work Xande

Lap Time; 1:08.617 DC; 9.0
Impressions of the tune;
Of all the cars that went for the stiffer spring/lower ride height combo, this one was hands down the better car. Made for a little more drama and also made the chicane at the end of the back straight more like threading a needle than any other car I've tried so far
.But this made it all the more
when I did đź‘Ť. Not my favourite transmission, not my favourite for braking, not my favoutite for overall feel and not the fastest car on my time sheet. But as a complete package it's close to the top so far. Nice work Shaun

Lap Time; 1:08.466 DC; 8.9
Impressions of the tune;
Took a couple of laps to get use to, but found a nice groove with it. Not the fastest on the board for me, but very close. Had the same Skippy feeling that a couple of others had but didn't effect this one as much (I think because the LSD was a bit tighter
) was smooth enough when it needed to be and could be pushed pretty hard to the point of powersliding everywhere with not too many worries (besides being slower of course
). Very nice work again sir. The last couple of events I've tested for your work has been a joy, keep em coming

Lap Time; 1:08.117 DC; 10
Impressions of the tune; Brake balance was not as much to my liking as the rest of the tune, If you'd got that right it was perfect. Super tune, fast, safe and very consistent. Only car so far I feel I got close to a perfect lap with. Leaves the others in the dust with just one more car to test.
@787bcgr
Lap Time; 1:09.195 DC;7.5
Impressions of the tune;
Felt on edge at every moment. I did eventually find a groove with it but it was a very fine one and needed a combination of total commitment and complete reckless abandonment at the same time to stay there. Do you use the D-pad per chance !? Suspension balance was good, but a little too stiff overall for the track condition IMO. transmission felt like it was screaming the whole time to. I ofter think when it screams so loud that it's not pulling like it should and the lap time would tend to support that a little too. Not a bad tune at all, just not my cup of tea (....or coffee
).
@fordlaser777
Lap Time; 1:08.430 DC; 9.2
Impressions of the tune;
This lacked a little support at the rear for my liking, (perhaps a little more spring and a little less ARB đź’ˇ), but overall this car felt very to my liking and evidently the lap time reflects that too. This just blitzed a very close field by 3 tenths (including a small error in the last corner complex
. Little higher initial LSD setting would have been more to my liking, but the other two were about right. Transmission set very close to how I use to tune them too which probably helpd me find the right rhythm with it. Great effort dude, really great effort
:tup:
@ugabugaz
Lap Time; 1:08.748 DC; 8.0
Impressions of the tune;
Not too hard to use but felt very choppy at times (think the dampers need a little work). Not very good at running over the curbs either. it became very unpredictable whenever I clipped one. A lot better in start stop sections than in flowing section of the track. But boy it had a good launch and flew down the straights. Damn fast car, just not the one I'd want to be in. Good work on it.though

@DaBomm4
Lap Time; 1:08.858 DC; 8.5
Impressions of the tune;
This was the first one out the door due to luck of the draw (Just happenned to be the first one I came to on the "recently aquired" list
) So the laptime probably sufferred a bit due to the whole getting into the swing of things. Probably left as much as 3-4 tenths out there, just couldn't nail that perfect lap (well...when I say perfect
). There was something just not quite too my liking at the rear with the suspension, seemed to work too much in phases and not really as a fluid system ( I hope you get what I mean
). But once I found where she wanted to go and when it was awesome fun. Did pretty good on the consistenometer (Yeah, I just made that up
) with a particular liking for the 1:09.100 bracket for me. LSD was ok (prefer 18/18/12
), transmission made for some interesting smoke producing sessions if I wasn't on my toes
and the brakes were spot on đź‘Ť.
Overall a great fun drive, but not the easiest to temper.
