Without further ado... I really enjoyed many of these tunes... thanks tuners!

What a beast! Hang on for Mr. Toads Wild Ride. Loads of power and squirrelly as hell, but a blast to drive white knuckle ride all the way!

What a little 8-gear rocket! Very tight suspension and considerable understeer but after adjusting to that a nice, fast, very enjoyable ride. Lots of acceleration and speed. Excellent tune Mike!

Really enjoyed this car
loads of power and sounds wonderful. Sometimes hard to keep it on the track but nothing noticeable to complain about so I attribute to my inability to harness the cars power more effectively.
I definitely feel with time I could go faster with this car

I enyjoed this car, but for some reason I struggled with it much more than I should have. I think it was that the massive power combined with the mid-corner understeer flew in the face of all of my instincts. So many times I would accelerate through a corner only to find that I gave it too much gas for the understeer and went off the road. It took me a while to turn the aggressiveness down a notch and drive a calmer lap to finally get a decent time. Still.. very nice tune!

Interesting to compare the two IFs in this group. I actually found this entry to be smoother and easier to handle than mike_gts entry, but not quite as fast. Understeer is still present but I attribute that to the car. The balance and responsiveness is good and primarily it handles the bumpy ride of the Ring a little better. Lap time is slower, but I attribute that partially to the transmission. Im not sure the gear ratios are optimum on this trans. I found myself shifting more than I wanted to and at inopportune times. Also red-lined on the final straight. I would be interested to combine these suspension settings with mike_gts trans settings and see what lap time that produces.

A pure joy and pleasure to drive. This thing corners on rails! I have nothing to say other than I loved it, and this tune is going in my garage. It wasn't the fastest (as CSLACR acknowledges) but a thoroughly enjoyable ride! Great tune!

This is one of the most balanced cars Ive driven
impeccable
so responsive, very forgiving. I suppose making it this flexible was at the expense of the fastest time, or maybe that was just the car, but ultimately I thoroughly enjoyed it. As close to a perfect tune as you can get. Congrats!

Great looking and sounding car. Super consistent and very fun to drive. Just the slightest hint of mid-corner understeer easy to adapt to. Only complaint a little bumpy.
DigitalBaka - Ferrari 458 Italia '09 - DC: 9
The Italia has always been one of my favorite cars in the game so it was nice to see it on this shootout. This tune was excellent. The balance, handling, responsiveness were all superb, and I had no trouble turning in a decent lap. In fact I was able to carry more speed through the corners in many places than almost any other tune in either group. The only thing holding it back from competitive times was that it didnt seem to have the top speed of other entries, which seems strange to say for a Ferrari. The Italia only got up to ~182 mph on the final straight whereas the contenders were doing 200+. I think that may be the only difference. Still a great tune and a very enjoyable drive.

Similar to the Italia, also a very balanced and enjoyable tune. It also had the same issues with top speed however.

Krenkme, I really loved your 450pp Challenger tune... this one not nearly as much, sorry. For me the gearing seemed awkward, I often found myself feeling the need to do an extra upshift right before a corner and then break. This has a larger effect on a heavier car. This one also has a bit lower top speed and I found myself redlining on last straight. That being said, the handling was fine overall, a bit soft as expected for this car. I love the fact that it's not phased by curbs!

Full disclsoure... I had to set ABS to 1 to be able to complete a lap! I assume that's OK since we're using ABS:1 on all the other tunes. Aside from that, the suspension was a bit too stiff for my taste. This made for quite a bumpy ride on the 'Ring and forced me into some fairly conservative driving. A slight mid-corner understeer also slowed me down a bit. A little slower than other entries as well.
