Gino , you are the new Carlo Abarth indeed.....
Tested the 458 on High Speed Ring and passed !!! Great grip in the critical chicane before tunnel and top speed on the straight.
Welldone , my friend

Gino , before I purchase the car and necessary tuned parts , I need to know the top speed at 500pp.
In a very competitive online room can be useful against the Mazda RX 700 ? It is a real beast.....on Apricot Hill , Silverstone and high speed ring.
Thanks
Massimo

If it could be useful for your race, consider that the car in this configuration has a very low tire and fuel consumption. I have tested it in Silverstone 10 laps race, and with a proper driving stile and maybe with longer gearbox setting you could finish the race without a pit stop. Of course, I did the race just for car testing, not for victory!

After buying a brand new 458 and applying your tune to it (without oil change), I have to say, this car sticks to the track so well. The rotation it has means I can use virtually full power round bends without the rear end sliding away from me too much, and if it does slide, its very easy to control Excellent tune all round.

Gino, you are undoubtedly a great tuner; all the cars that you proposed to date show a strong grip to the track and are easy to take when you exceed a while. Very well, it's nice to see an Italian tuner ( living in Rome..... 👍 ) in this fantastic driving simulator. If only my steering wheel was equal to that provided to my Alfa Romeo .....
Have you something in progress for the Spyker Laviolette? Another car with superior performance
This evening I will test your Chevrolet and I am sure that will be another welldone work
Bye and "ad majora !! "

I have bought Laviolette (weird name for a car
) two days ago, and I am trying hard to find a decent tune. It is a very light car, but even with the body rigidity improvement, it seems to me that the chassis does not keep the pace with the Audi V8 engine.I am looking for the optimal balance weight/power...
Once ready to race in a consistent manner, I will post it.

Thanks Gino.I have used till now two different setup of other tuners and with 550 pp. It should drive the car very carefully otherwise you leave the road easily but the car is very fast: 340 kmh at le mans with 550 pp....

I don't think this question was meant for me? But on the off chance that it was, I would tune this car to 550-575PP as it is very light and any power upgrades with the aero package would suit this car perfectly.
