Lion's Den Performance- New Autozam, Camaro RM

[CamryFan]

That Corvette on those Goodyears look mega cool. I nearly bought a 3000GT SR from the used car lot too but I thought, "when will I ever use it". Anyway I'll definitely try some of your tunes guys when I figure out some sort of GT5 cash strategy.

Even if YOU don't use, B-Spec would find my version useful in the Japanese '90s challenge.

 

[E28]

As soon as I've got enough money, I'm trying out those 'vette and Brera tunes!

Have you thought about an E92 M3 tune?

Interested in a setup for a fully modded XJ13 and AMG SLS.

LDP NSX Type X Predator Edition
(460bhp @ 7,900rpm) (45kgfm @ 6,400rpm) (1051kg)

Description: The Honda NSX is already an excellent car, the type R even more so, but we here at LDP thought it still wasn't quite enough and got to work straight away to try and create the ultimate naturally aspirated NSX on the road. The result was over 450 horses from the fully modified 3.2 C32B V6 and weighing just 1051kg, that's 2.25kg/bhp for you mathematical folk which needless to say is respectable to say the least. Naturally though power and weight isn't everything so we couldn't just leave the suspension and other handling components alone so the car was given the thorough treatment whilst keeping to road tyres to create a true street monster, a Predator Edition.

I really need to find a GNX in my used car lot so I can try out this tune.

I didn't know what a GNX was several years ago until I saw this YouTube video:

LDP Veyron SS-R Predator Edition
(1256hp/937kw @ 6,600rpm) (1451Nm/1070ft-lbs @ 4,600rpm) (1424kg) (PP)

Description: Lion's Den Performance has come up with our answer to the Veyron SS, this Veyron SS-R. Pushing 1256hp, top speed is not that different to the regular SS, at just over 430km/hr, however we've stripped out luxuries and the result is acceleration from 0-100km/hr in 1.9sec, and a car that can go under 1'50 at Grand Valley Speedway- and take it from a veteran of that track, anything that does under 1'50 there on semi-slicks is mind bendingly fast. We've also paid some attention to the handling, although it must be said persuading 1256hp to do anything other than what IT wants to is like asking the moon to start spinning in the opposite direction. At any rate this should keep those speed junkies out there reasonably happy.

Tuner's Notes:
If we're ever allowed full gear ratio control, I'll be changing to the fully customisable gearbox. For now though, the stock gearbox has an almost identical 7th gear ratio but longer 1st and 2nd making the car faster on acceleration.
I'll come out and say this is NOT pretty to drive, stopping distances are marathon long, and putting over 1250hp through an AWD system does create some understeer. Best thing to do is slow down early, get the car pointing straight at the corner exit and just let it rip, the engine will take care of the rest.
Just shift at the usual 7,000rpm.
I've put in the option for Racing Soft tyres because some drivers will need it, I tuned it on Sports Soft though.

OMG the Veyron can turn now!

Wonderful Veyron tune! This car is scary fast.

 

[Abraxis]

Long time lurker, first time poster. The NSX tune is, quite simply, sublime.

 

[Paulie]

OMG the Veyron can turn now!

Wonderful Veyron tune! This car is scary fast.

Thanks. It can sort of turn now anyway.

 

[psychot|K]

We should have an RKM NSX-R vs. LDP NSX-R battle!

Let's agree on a track and post some times.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

That'd be unfair to our car, we're down 60hp.

 

[Paulie]

That'd be unfair to our car, we're down 60hp.

You do have aero though. It's a shame everything short of a race car or race mod can only get a bit of rear aero though, particularly when you can buy front splitters that do nothing.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Well, some road cars have front downforce, it's just not added to by the aero kits nor is it adjustable (F430 Scuderia comes to mind).

But yeah, definitely agree with you there; so many of my cars would be hugely improved by a few clicks of front downforce.

 

[psychot|K]

Come on now... where would Rocky Balboa be if he thought like that?

Lion's Den Performance is back in action! Looking forward to all the future tunes Paulie! 👍

Not to mention I flat out forgot to include downforce as I do run a wing . To be brutally honest though I'm waiting for feedback on my set up, I don't feel to confident in my abilities so far.

*Squints eyes* Oh yeah you can JUST see the wing in the dark.

 

[Blitz187]

Hey Paulie and Dragonistic,

I have a question for both of you... Do you guys find tuning in GT5 to be easier than in GT5? I find the tuning in GT5 to be a bit easier... I've been able to setup my cars a lot quicker and they seem to perform well on different tracks. In GT5 you really had to make track specific tunes in order to get the most out of them... Still sucks about the transmission though.. I wish we could do the individual gears, that would make a huge difference in tuning.

 

[Paulie]

I do find that general setups work much better now at more tracks. I think it could be because we get proper engine tuning now, so we don't have to work around super narrow power bands. Some of my tunes would benefit hugely from individual gear tuning if not all of them. I'm still hoping that's coming in a nearby update. Tuning itself is rather more difficult, especially now in GT5 we have cars that aren't that crash hot to begin with (most Prologue cars were pretty good cars).

That could be it too.. I havent taken a really crappy car and tuned it to full potential yet... Only cars that already drove well in the first place... I think I'm going to go give that a shot as well... Thanks for the input 👍

I think perhaps it's because I'm finding I estimate figures and find they work just fine with only a few tweaks needed that I'm skeptical about my set ups so far. Which is why I'm hoping for some feedback on the NSX as soon as so I need not worry about my other set ups so much.

LDP Cien-V Predator Edition
(787hp/587kw @ 9,000rpm) (645Nm/476ft-lbs @ 6,500rpm) (1208kg) (PP)

Description: This V-Series version of the Cien as imagined by the folks at Lion's Den Performance has now become a performance package available to you. We've essentially left the mammoth 9,000rpm 7.5L V12 untouched, with a minor tune-up yielding 587kw, and have instead focused on the package as a whole in order to improve driving pleasure. Suspension and drivetrain tuning being the key, we've turned the twitchy Cien into an enjoyable fair dinkum answer to the world's exotics, and answer it does. With a 380km/hr top speed, and a Nurburgring lap time of 6'42, it is nothing short of astounding. The use of exotic materials in construction help too, dropping weight to a paltry 1208kg.

Tuner's Notes:
Run the engine right to the 9,500rpm cut-out
Unfortunately with no gear tuning, 1st and 2nd are WAY too short for a car of this level of power, so unless it's the tightest of tight corners, leave it in 3rd gear as a minimum. I never used 2nd gear once on my Ring lap.

Really looking forward to those Skylines! Great to see the tunes on GT5!!

I heard that Cien didn't exactly outrun a certain NSX.

Who's NSX would that be?

We need to have more friendly races with our tuner cars, Paulie. 👍

[crazytortise]

Nice to have you back Paulie

 

[Paulie]

I heard that Cien didn't exactly outrun a certain NSX.

I heard different, I heard the Cien was killing a certain NSX until it spun and took its time to make sure no damage was incurred. That one wasn't even a race anyway, just a demo. I also heard a certain 3.8L V6 muscle car thrashed a certain Silvia that was said to be just as good.
