GTP's Hot Version Touge Showdown

[Mat123]

Car is sent to mat. Thanks to all who helped.

I placed it on share for Slender to test. Rob tested it already, right?

 

[Hei]

Pretty much. Yup.

 

[Slender_Man]

I shall be testing more cars today 👍
Mat my WRX T300 is on share for you to test 👍

 

[robrabbitman]

Pretty much. Yup.

I'll have to test it offline when I wake up. Still need to get sector times..

Tested already. 👍 Very impressive.

 

[Onboy123]

Mat, did you get the replay in the end or did it not load? Also, how far into testing are we?

Yep! Got it!

Also, Rob's pretty much done everything submitted so far. Slender, I don't know. While I'm almost half way done. Will finish tomorrow morning. Hopefully my friend requests will be accepted by then.

Pending list:
Korza

I am awaiting your friend request confirmation. If by any chance I have mistakenly added the wrong account, add "MatMed123".

- Testers, submit to me your final reports anytime this week, after evaluation of all cars.

- To those that have been given extensions, submit your tunes no later than 10 PM PST tomorrow!

It's an S13. The R/t is for Road & Touge. Boasting over 300lb-ft of torque gives it rocket acceleration out of the corners but if you're selfish with the power it will make you pay.

[Ridox2JZGTE]

I hope my car is not causing trouble when tested , haven't heard any news from the testers :/

 

[Rotary Junkie]

My entry is finished outside of break-in and possible resulting tweaks to parts selection.

It was finished the first time I drove it though... Not sure if good sign or bad sign but it feels really wicked.

 

[BobbyBRAKEaNek]

I'll be sending my car by the end of the day Mat.

I can PM you my review if you like.

I can't wait. If you post it now, I can have it broken in in about 5 minutes.

It's presently on share, waiting for Roj to get off Unreal, chop up the banners for it, and get me the parts/settings list (PS3 is downstairs and I can't find a notepad). I doubt it'll really threaten the Imprezas on pace (though in my own testing it's about 4 seconds quicker than an early version of Onboy's Pretzel was) but it drives seriously well.

My ratings are based on driving feel and then sector times, so as long as it drives well, it'll get a good score.

I seriously need help figuring out Snake's and Optomoscrime's gear ratios. I can't even get Optomoscrime's and Snake's look a little weird to me.

That's what I'm banking on.

Looks like they used km/h instead of mph for the "top speed" setting, so try 112.

Tried, and Optomos' were still out of reach. Really confused here.

[SolidSnake7735]

Tried, and Optomos' were still out of reach. Really confused here.

We both used MPH.

For mine, you set top speed THEN final gear. for optomus' you set FINAL GEAR then TOP SPEED. Afterwards, individual gear ratios.

Worth noting, for my car, it's meant to be quickbetween 2nd and 4th gears though you'll spend most time in 3rd gear andgo down to 2nd for the slower corners out there. Since the shifting point is above 8000RPM and the mas torque and power are 1000RPM apart between 5k and 6k, I suggest you shift up at 7000RPM unless you're at higher speeds in 4th gear. In which case you'd shift up at 8000-8500RPM.

The reason for such long gears in mine is because of the big mid-rpm range turbo kit and the drastic drop in power and torque at a certain engine speed, I kinda had to tune the gears for higher speeds than actually capable just to make most use of the turbo. Instead of tuning for the 8400RPM redline, I tuned it for 7000RPM shifting points. It can be revved all the way up to 8500RPM id\f need be.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Here ya go:

 

[fbccars924]

I'm a tad scared now lol. I knew this would be a David vs. Goliath thing for me in terms of tuning ability but I have a feeling I may not even make Honorable mention. Oh well... all is in good fun 👍 If at the very least I should gain some knowledge on how to improve my tuning.

 

[robrabbitman]

I just have RJ's car to review and then I'm basically done. I'll do some proofreading and editing tomorrow, and my results should be posted Tuesday.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Pure awesomeness, very diligent testers this should have been from the start

 

[Aesthetics]

Have you been reading my mind? That was exactly what I was gonna say.

 

[fbccars924]

Lol, I'm pretty self aware. I came in not expecting to win but hoped to a) get my name out there in the tuning world and b) get information on how good/bad my tunes are and an idea of how to improve on my theory.

In all honesty I'm more excited to get on with Tmax so I can see how my Venom Viper fares.

I figured out the gearing on both, thanks. I was short shifting based on my knowledge of the powerband; both cars accelerate like rockets when you shift right.

Here ya go:

I'll have this done in just a bit. Maybe I'll have results posted tomorrow, unless everyone wants them posted tonight, in which case I can get it done. If three people ask for them tonight, I'll have them ready before I go to bed.

Indeed. I'm trying to make things more organized not only for myself, but the competition as a whole.

If you can get them up before I leave for work (so around 8:30 AM EST) it'd be awesome. Sooner would be even better if I'm still up.

I can probably get it done. My reviews sound very objective.. Should I make them sound a little more personal? Or would I just sound biased? I want my reviews to be as fair as possible.
