It looks like a proper man cave in there. Apart from the baby toys and pampers that is.

Decided I'm actually gonna test, I realize I can't really do my usual style of posting results 1 by 1 and notifying people. Yet I'm still going to do that, so check back this post daily (I'll go in order). Once everything is done I'll do the tagging.

TUNERS - DC Ratings Not Final
#1
Time: 2:06.785
DC: 9.0
Very good top end and acceleration throughout. Puts power down very well, very little oversteer. Handles bumps fairly well. Transmission is okay as well. Suffers from lazy turn in and understeer in low speed corners.
#2
Time: 2:06.486 -
DC: 9.0
First couple of laps I really couldn't put my finger on anything in particular on this car. There's actually nothing wrong with this car. Nothing really stands out either. Wherever you point it, it goes without any drama. I was actually thinking it would be lucky to get a lap in the low 7's. When I slammed this lap home I could hardly believe my eyes. I'm still not sure how it got around so quick. Some witchcraft at work here....
#3
Time: 2:04.721 👍
DC: 9.3
Didn't like this car all that much. Felt bouncy throughout andsomewhat unpleasant to drivealthough consistent. 2nd and 3rd gear seemed both to be a little long. Has the best power parts fitted to a GTR however and is quite fast.
I found the trick to this car, It never understeers! You slam it into corners and you can always expect the front to rotate, Lovely! I actually wouldn't be surprised if someone runs a 2:03 in this car. Watching the replay, it seems the LSD needs tweaking since at two portions of the track one wheel is lighting up hard.
#7
Time: 2:04.977
DC: 8.5
Fairly consistent lap times in the low 5's. Car is easy to drive and cooperates most of the time. Only downside is that understeer creeps in quite a lot making certain corners a challenge. If you screw up, it's easier to recover your line than in #11.
#11
Time: 2:04.734
DC: 8.5
Car does almost everything well. To get a fast time you need to be really precise all the time, since there's very little recovery available. Only complaint is that the car is a little slow to change direction and generally feels like it's swaying around.
#13
Time: 2:06.934
DC: 8.5
Dives under braking. Feels very soft when driving. Initially wasn't impressed however this car has the best turn-in I've tested so far. It's a pleasure taking the last corner with this car, it's so easy!
#14
Time: 2:05.365
DC: 8.5
I had to put in a lot of effort to get that time out. I liked this car initially, in fact I loved it. Thing is it has a bunch of problems. 2nd gear is too short, I was bouncing off the limiter several times. In several sections the car is bouncing around losing me time. Worst of all this car doesn't ride curbs and you have to on this track for a fast lap. What I really loved was the on demand throttle rotation - this is how every car should feel. Could have been great...

Time: 2:07.018
DC: 5.0
Slow. So Slow. I simply don't understand what whoever was tuning this car was going for. The weight of this car is puzzling. Handles alright, but then again you can never drive it fast enough to upset it. I don't get it.
#18
Time: 2:05.673
DC: 6.5
Not a fan of this car. Doesn't like to turn in to corners, although its not a question of understeer. Acceleration is slower than #3. Can't drive it consistently lap after lap. Has a very hard time with the chicane - No matter which way I go it seems to bounce around hard.
2:04 am on the moon. *** speechless, very good friend .Thank great job

Thanks for testing this fun bunch of cars DaBomm4. Nice job on the consistant times!FITT M Power Challenge Reviews By DaBomm4
All testing done at Nürburgring GP/F, with ABS 1, no other aids, grip set to real, DS3.
Tuner #1 - M3 Chrome Line
Lap Time: 2:09.973 DC: 7
Comments: This tune seems to understeer at the strangest times, my first few laps were fine, then I couldn't stay on the track at all, finally my last 2 laps were mostly ok again.
Tuner #2 - M4 Coupe
Lap Time: 2:09.669 DC: 8.5
Comments: Slow speeds suffer from understeer, rear can break loose if you try hard enough. Transmission feels a little short.
Tuner #3 - M3 GTR
Lap Time: 2:08.568 DC: 9.0
Comments: Great acceleration out of the corners and on the straights, brakes also were very nice, I feel like I must not be attacking the corners right with this tune because it feels like it wants to go faster through the corners.
Tuner #4 – M3 '07
Lap Time: 2:09.459 DC: 7.5
Comments: The handling to weight shifting felt weird to me. The tune could benefit from more power rotation also.
Tuner #5 - 135i Coupe
Lap Time: 2:10.184 DC: 8.5
Comments: Some oversteer off-throttle and easy to spin the wheels up made this tune fun to throw around the track, drifting wise. Add some careful throttle control and it was easy to get a decent laptime out of it. It felt like the transmission was out of the powerband at the end of the long straights.
Tuner #6 – M3 '07
Lap Time: 2:09.335 DC: 8.0
Comments: Mild understeer, but nothing a little power oversteer can't solve.
Tuner #7 - M3 CSL
Lap Time: 2:08.593 DC: 8.75
Comments: Great handling, very hard to break the rear tires loose. Transmission is unique, a little adjustments and I would like the whole tune better.
Tuner #8 – M3 Chrome Line
Lap Time: 2:10.184 DC: 7.5
Comments: The transmission doesn't feel quite right to the track for me, and it is easy to loose the rear end.
Tuner #9 – M4 Pace Car Edition
Lap Time: N/A DC: N/A
Comments: This was the smoothest ride of all of the cars, but the pit crew can only go so fast when there is no motor in the car.
Tuner #10 – M4 Coupe
Lap Time: 2:09.304 DC: 8.75
Comments: A little off-throttle understeer in slow corners, agressive cornering gets good rotation.
Tuner #11 - M3 CSL
Lap Time: 2:09.305 DC: 8.5
Comments: Easy to get on the power early but will still break loose if you want to.
Tuner #12 – M4 Performance Edition
Lap Time: 2:10.048 DC: 7.75
Comments: The whole car has some understeer and the little power oversteer I can achieve is not enough to rotate the car the way I like. A little more work on the front and I think it would rotate to my liking better.
Tuner #13 - M3 Chrome Line
Lap Time: 2:10.267 DC: 8.75
Comments: Easiest of the Chrome Line's to get use to, no real down sides to the tune.
Tuner #14 - M3 CSL
Lap Time: 2:09.549 DC: 8.25
Comments: Feels really nice, slippery when you want it, control when you don't.
Tuner #15 – M4 Performance Edition
Lap Time: DC:
Comments: Hmmm.
Tuner #16 – M4 Coupe
Lap Time: 2:10.433 DC: 8.0
Comments: Safe tune. To be fast with this tune, I found I had to throw the weight around and get the rear tires to break loose a little to get enough rotation. There is a little bit too much understeer for my taste.
Tuner #17 - M3 GTR
Lap Time: 2:10.316 DC: 8.5
Comments: This tune was an odd one for me, if I tried to push for a good lap I would get understeer and/or power oversteer, if I tried to take the dog for a Sunday walk around the park, faster, cleaner laps.
Tuner #18 – M3 GTR
Lap Time: 2:09.165 DC: 9.0
Comments: Feels very good, every once in a while I noticed a little understeer, but there is always power oversteer available to get you out of (or into) trouble.

It wasn't exactly bad, it just liked to squirm around on the power as it shifted power from one wheel to the other and if you were pushing hard and put a wheel on the curb it would just twitch in the direction of least resistance, once it started to go wrong it was all but impossible to recover without ditching all the speed. Performed extremely well but just needed a little more predictability during power application and it would have been perfect.
The '07 M3s and M4s were very close in terms of lap times but drove quite differently. The older standard models were miles ahead though, I don't know why it is exactly but that seems very much the way things are in GT6.

3 completely different sets of cars. The old super fast cars, the newer beefier Ms, and a lone wolf. Each with its own personality, DC IS EXTREMELY difficult for me in this one. As the faster ones were not all necessarily the ones I liked the most. Some did not like curbs or even touching a blade of grass, others were slower but predictable.
Just my $0.02, worth about 1/2 a penny.

For me the car was perfectly fine on curbs. The problem is that in several corners, hitting the gas results in the inside rear tire becoming a varying shade of RED and a trail of smoke behind. I mean, is it undrivable? No, but it's purely spinning the power away. There is one benefit and that is that this LSD setting acts as a pseudo traction-control, as it's easier to just slam on the gas without losing the rear. Try it with a few clicks higher on Accel and you'll see the difference.

I've enjoyed a lot of the cars, been fun testing so far as the cars have all been very individual and different, no two are alike. Still got 6 or 7 left to test, I'll be done somewhere between Monday and Thursday 👍3 completely different sets of cars. The old super fast cars, the newer beefier Ms, and a lone wolf.

On an previous build of a 135i I experimented with a locked accel (30/60/30) and got really positive results. The car came to life and got rid of the vast majority of wheelspin coming out of the corners, the only problem came on the fast chicane where you were on a knife edge between fast and a massive crash
Felt great to drive though, tricky but hugely gratifying when you got it right 👍
