I hope I can get closer to that with my 998kg beast. I think the big limiter is going to be my Driving skill.

I finally test drove Slender's R34.
I drove it for around 23 laps. I did 3 hot laps at the very end, which I taped. Sorry for the bad quality as I have no capture card and for my BGM. It is a lovely car. Very responsive. Has ton's of mechanical grip. I kept running high 2:45's to 2:46.3's. It has potential to run mid to low 2:44's in my hands. It is neutral under most circumstances. It does have a couple problems though. It hates panicked braking, and on a few turns, has very slight understeer. Almost unnoticeable. I also find the gearbox a bit short, limiting the car to 160 on the back straight. I did run it tcs and abs on 1. It is very fun to drive though. Corners like a dream and is fast as hell. It is very easy to drive and allows you to feel like you are a few notches above your current driving level.
98/100
Pro's
-Extremely fast
-Easy to drive
-very neutral, even under no throttle.
-Amazing dampers
Con's
-Brake balance makes it lose traction on front tires even with tcs on 1 under heavy load.
-Gearbox feels short
-Very small understeer on exit on a couple turns

He's only testing Slender's car, since Slender isn't allowed to test his own car.
I feel slow with that time, Hei. I only managed a low 2:48 on first and second.
Slender said he made 2:38. O_O
I thought Slender wasn't running TCS anymore?

2:38 are in my other GT-R
JC as for the short gears, I was running a Close Ratio Transmission 👍

Ohh... I was acutally close to panicking when I couldn't get anywhere near that time. I kept running constant 2:47-48's
Anyways, Korza! Rob's car! NAO!

Ohh...
Wait? Vol.3? But I thought TMax won't be present in S3.
EDIT: Volume 3, I thought Season 3. My bad.

Track Settings
3 Laps
Track Grip: Real
Sector used: Sector 3
Results & Reviews:
Slender_Man Nissan Skyline GT-R M-Spec NUR (R34) 02
Sector Time: 0:52.991
My impressions: Ive gone for a Feel over Speed approach to this R34 GT-R. Focus has been solely of the handling of the car whilst putting out 565BHP. I also chose to use a close Ratio transmission as i felt it work better for this tune... As its my own tune i found to me to be no faults with it....
Pros:
- Great Rotation
- Good Acceleration
- Great Grip
- Good Transmission
Cons:
- None
My Score: N/A (New Rules)
--------------------------------------------------
DCybertron Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro 09
Sector Time: 0:52.445
My impressions: This car has some potential for a serious tune... Rotation is on point and the speed is up there, But i found it reaches peak in every gear to quick and that it is unstable with its weight transfer on switching direction at speed.
Pros:
- Good Rotation
- Good Speed
- Good Acceleration
Cons:
- Transmission needs Work
- Unbalanced Weight Transfer
My Score: 98/100
--------------------------------------------------
Krenkme BMW M3 Coupe 07
Sector Time: 0:53.707
My impressions: I think this BMW has the acceleration & speed of a well tuned DTM machine built for the road. Suspension wise it is well tuned but it has issues with understeer from corner entry to mid turn which i believed slowed the car down more than needed...
Pros:
- Good Acceleration
- Good Grip
- Good Speed
Cons:
- Understeer Entry to Mid Turn
My Score: 97/100
--------------------------------------------------
Onboy123 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C 04
Sector Time: 0:52.641
My impressions: Onboys Tmax Impreza is insanely fast compared to his T300 car and i could easily notice all the same Pros that i found on the T300 car... But i felt that this car was suffering from understeer from Mid-turn causing me to have to slow down on pace. Other than that its a great car.
Pros:
- Good Rotation
- Great Acceleration
- Great transmission
- Insane speed
Cons:
- Understeer from Mid-Turn
My Score: 99/100
--------------------------------------------------
RobRabbitMan Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR p.p 07
Sector Time: 0:53.204
My impressions: Rob has brought a Lan Evo X to Tmax and it feels like a rally car... Rotation, Acceleration & transmission are all good if not great. I felt the was a little still mid turn but other than that it was good fun to drive.
Pros:
- Good Rotation
- Good Transmission
- Rally Car Feel
- Great Acceleration
Cons:
- Stiff Mid-Turn
My Score: 99/100
--------------------------------------------------
TanJaM92 Shelby Series One Supercharged 03
Sector Time: 0:53.497
My impressions: Bringing a muscle car to the Touge is brave as the handling isnt the best thing on these cars, But this car has been tuned well and rotation is good... It still has a bit of that muscle car understeer mid-turn and i found the brakes to be a bit weak. Apart from these issues i enjoyed driving this car.
Pros:
- Great Acceleration
- Great LSD
- Good rotation
Cons:
- Weak Brakes
- Muscle Car understeer Mid-turn
My Score: 97/100
--------------------------------------------------
JC18137 Dodge Ram 1500 LARAMIE Hemi Quad Cab 04
Sector Time: 0:53.944
My impressions: Talk about thinking outside the box... JC i think is off to Pick up some boxes when he entered a Dodge Ram Truck into the Touge Shootout
Its a heavy old thing but when driving it, It doesnt show it. The only thing i found was that it understeered on corner entry but everything else i liked. Truly a quick heavyweight 👍 Pros:
- Good Grip
- Good Rotation
- Good Excelleration
- Great speed for its weight
Cons:
- Understeer on turn entry
My Score: 99/100
--------------------------------------------------
SolidSnake7735 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C6) 06
Sector Time: 0:53.563
My impressions: Snake has entered a Corvette for Tmax and this one i feel like...Wait for it... Try to kill you!!!
The transmission is very nice and evenly spread out for speed & acceleration. Rotation is good once the front end grips after its finished understeering.... Pros:
- Nice Transmission
- Good LSD
- Doesnt try to kill you
Cons:
- Understeer!!!!
My Score: 97/100
--------------------------------------------------
SAPPH Honda NSX Type R 02
Sector Time: 0:53.321
My impressions: This NSX is FAST!!! The grip level on this car is great combined with the LSD work is spot on. Acceleration is excellent but i felt that the car needed more rotation... Also i found that the weight ballast was in the wrong place on the first run and i moved it as far forward as possible, This resulted in better front end grip...
Pros:
- Good Suspension
- Excellent acceleration
- Great levels of Grip
- Good LSD
Cons:
- Needs more rotation
- Weight Ballast could be further forward
My Score: 99/100
--------------------------------------------------
BobbyBRAKEaNek Chevolet Camaro SS 10
Sector Time: 0:54.876
My impressions: Modern era muscle car look kinda cool on the Touge but i felt this Camaro was a bit stiff causing major understeer throughout the turns. Also i think the LSD could do with some more work as it lights up the inside rear tyre on turn exits. Acceleration & speed wise this car was good.
Pros:
- Good Acceleration
- Good Speed
Cons:
- A Bit Stiff
- LSD needs more work
My Score: 96/100
--------------------------------------------------
fbccars924 Dodge Viper ACR 10
Sector Time: 0:53.272
My impressions: A 900+HP Widow Maker on the Touge.... Overkill? Maybe but some people could say otherwise. The power delivery in this car was very manageable. The rotation was ok but i found the car to feel soft causing it to understeer on turn entry. The transmission is for using its 900+HP power band, But the gear ratios are way off for use in the turns where i found myself having to use 1st gear in some turns.
Pros:
- Manageable power delivery
- Ok rotation
Cons:
- Understeer on turn entry
- Felt soft
- Transmission Ratios not suited for track
My Score: 94/100

I figured the ACR wouldn't fare to great considering It's power. The main purpose of the trans being so high was for the power to be manageable however I had to sacrifice some corner speed. I'm happy for what it's worth. Expect to see the thunder pumpkin back next season.

Quick question; Will Season/Volume 3 be staying at Akina or move to a different course? I want to start work on my T300 car soon.

^I dont see any reason why it would move. But, for good measure I'd tune at Akina, The 'Ring or Eiger. Akina and The Ring are the recommended.
