Fair enough. Besides which he actually always seems to say what the hell he wants. I've noticed on some photomode galleries he just says on some photos "I don't like [xxxx] photo". Which is pretty awesome I guessAlso since I've left Croatia I'm not really two timer anymore.
Also I've just noticed how close in terms of profile me and Roj are. We're both level 35 A-Spec, 40 B-Spec, have almost identical game completions, about 18,000,000 Cr+ as I speak, very close in trophies earned as well. However he has almost 300 wins more than me, has 4 times as many cars and has driven 2 2/3's as many miles as me. And his B-Speccers are roughly 3 levels higher than mine
Who? Me? Oh yes I like to say whatever I want. And I'm going to reveal Onboy123's secret if he will reveal mine.
You are a copycat and a stalker!

As you know, Roj. I was terribly disappointed with the first update of the NSX. So, another short run with the new new NSX-R.
NSX-R 3rd Anniversary (Update 3.0) Take 2:
Now this, this is more like it. The handling by telepathy is back. It feels confident, surefooted, and yet can have the spirit of old. This is among the most tail happy, fun, eager cars I’ve ever driven. It’s also the only car which goes faster around a track sideways than it can when it’s gripping to the tarmac. The only change is the grace of old which has been replaced with the exuberant need to slide. It’s now the car that previous update should have made it. That bit faster than before, with the same spirit. By bit faster, I mean just a tad faster. like…0.4 seconds faster. Which makes it marginally slower than before, but I just can’t care less. As I’ve said, a fast car which isn’t fun is not as good as a slower one which is. And this definitely strikes the balance of fun and speed better than ever before. And that means it’s just about as good a car as a car can ever be. I eagerly await the next update, Roj. More like this, but with less cock ups along the way.

Are your sandwiches as good as your tunes? If so, you guys should open up a stand. Marvelous tunes...

Not sure, I rarely make sandwiches for myself. Since you're post #4000, I'll make you a sandwich and you can answer your own question for us!

On the RKM SLS:
The SLS may not be an Elise, as Roj himself put it. However, despite its heft, the RKM SLS is nimble and brisk. Its present setup would give a 599 Fiorano a run for its money in terms of the better grand tourer. Speaking of which...
Not only is the RKM SLS tuned without a rear wing, it handles superbly - I don't know how much downforce the active aero of the SLS produces but nevertheless it complements the suspension setup. Turn-in is sharp and steering feel is responsive. The LSD improved the car's tractability, ensuring there's no wheelspin even with aggressive throttling on corner exits. For a car with 400+lb.ft of torque, torque-steer is absent.
Excellent job on the gear ratios too. Thanks to the fully customized ratios, the car's always kept within the rev range where torque delivery is linear. Broken-in at 590 bhp (no performance upgrades), acceleration is brisk. Given enough road, the car'll redline 7th gear.
Overall, the RKM SLS is a superb piece of engineering. SLS: Slayer of Lightweight Saloons.
Rating: 9/10 (I'm running an S-Spec RKM SLS, Roj!)

Lol, just to confirm I'm an idiot. :/
Just going through my cars and thought I'd try this again as I couldn't believe it was that bad, it's not.
Turns out for some reason I had RS on the front and SS on the rear.
Ooooops

Well hello there RKM Motorsport, after admiring your talents with a number of tunes transforming some relatively mundane cars sent to the depths of my garage to gather dust into lean driving pleasures (most notable the admirable job on the Enzo which now nets me 500 big ones in 2:23 around sarth) that I felt duty bound to show my appreciation with a post.
However I thought to myself a simple post would show neither depth of thought nor a warrent much appreciation therefore however I thought given the challenge that appeared to give much enjoyment in tuning the Enzo I would create a challenge and that I hope I have and that is to best a 01:10.010 lap around the Rome circuit in a pp500 car.
This i hope is enought of a challenge to provide suitable involvement and therefore reward, a track myself and a few hardcore followers of GT series have come to admire for its technical sections and hard breaking corners.
Best of luck and thanks,
Jon.

Thanks for the review! Can't argue with anything you wrote and I'm glad you liked it! 👍
An honest mistake I'm sure.
Glad you like the Enzo. Even though it was our 50th tune celebration tune, we wasn't too happy with it because of the Enzo's natural flaws. So it's especially nice when someone says they like it.
Do we have any tyre limitations or anything like that? After I've finished with this mountain of cars I think I'll take you up on that challenge. 👍
