Funny I thought it was Italian, seems to me the movie with that song in it had to do with an Italian pizzaria...
No wait. I got things mixed up.

Goddamnit, you made my car look so good, fantastic paint
I am so looking forward to testing it out later...then I shall probably go dig up my old S2000 noobwagon and, well...I think that the Evo IV and VI are completely pointless, so I may buy them both and have a go too!

Spend nothing at all when you go at RKM. The dynamic duo exactly knows what you want out of an Evo...

A HSR-II you say? that's what I should request...I used to love that bonkers thing

Don't. You're better off with 3000GT/GTO.. Which is what HSRII ended up becoming. Just how can something so good have such a dreadful starting point..

I can't find the good 3000GT or GTO though...there are so many and I don't know which one is gonna have better handling or downforce...

I believe the '98 with the chrome DUB's is the best one.

As long as there's MR in it (3000GT MR '95, 3000GT MR'98), it's good.

The only MR I see is the GTO Twin Turbo MR. The 3000GT is a VR-4 Turbo. Same thing right?

Gallardo LP 710 SuperLeggera
Hello again! Im am going to review the Gallardo so here it goes
When you buy any Lambo you expect it to spit flames and powerslide round any corner no matter what gear. Not the case here, The stock Gallardo seems to have no passion or defiance in it. It was an incredibly stable ride thanks to the AWD, which also turned out very minor under steer. All in all the car bored me and it did not appear to be a raging bull at all. The time I set around Grand Valley East was a rather slow 1:14.
Then I tried my own tune for this car. Bad mistake. The car went from a tame obedient car to something that would suit a horror movie about cars of course! It was utterly terrifying, the car would oversteer at anything and everything! This is the car I was describing but boosted on Red Bull!!! The time The Beast set was a bone cracking 1:10 minus 5 minutes to remove the mess in my pants Lol!
Now came the time to bring expertise into play. The RKM tune for the Gallardo combines the best of both worlds with sensible speed round corners above 3rd gear with amazing controllable oversteer that provides the madness and passion all cars should have. Its responsive and can beat some respect into its older brothers with epic tire smoke and rapid cornering speed. The final time was a blistering 1:05.
The point here is, Own this car or you are a total wuss

RJ's Gallardo scared me when I first drove it all those months ago.
"How did the Gallardo end up like this? GT5 physics are insane man!"Ah, best go UCD raiding some more.

you might find this link helpful assuming you haven't already found it

Give's power/weight ratios for every car in gt5 so ya know what's the best car to start with,
3000GT VR-4 (J) '98 has best power/weight ratio stock.
Plus helpful members have filled in their max PP they got with the car and if it can have turbo's or aero mods so ya can see if it will fit in with your plans before wasting credits.

Lancia Delta HF
This tune I got from VTiRoj, it’s not up on his tuning page but he let me have it. This car is good, but because of its stock weight it’s pretty slow and very stable. It has 320 hp. Very easy to drive but has a small tendency to understeer. Also the gearbox is stock… ugh I think this car could be so much better with a full custom gear box. Easy to drive because the weight keeps all those 320 horses in check so it doesn’t get crazy on you… not even a little bit… very planted the weight I feel takes the fun out of this car. It’s a good little car don’t get me wrong, I just wish it was lighter and had a full custom tranny and I bet it would be a blast to drive. Also I don't get why there is a Mid-range turbo when I spent most the time in gears at the end of 3rd and 4th and rarely seeing 5th in this car. I think this car would be better suited with High rpm turbo, that's just my take on it; I am no tuner so there might be another reason for the mid-range turbo, I could not tune a shoe box if I tried lol. To me it’s a tad boring when a car doesn’t show character and this car doesn’t have it at all with this tune. The tune is below have at it.

Jesus… this car is a blast. An awd car that likes to stick its butt out, how could you not love it? Great grip and likes to slide (when you ask it) mmmmmm heaven. Just like VTiRoj said… very sharp handling don’t be afraid to throw that thing into a turn, it will eat it up. And the acceleration is great, coming out of turns and even into turns because he kept the AYC it’s easy to go fast in a turn and keep that speed coming out. This is the first emperor car I have tried and I love it. If the other ones are anything like this I got to try it. The one down side though is …. I forgot how fast I was going a few times and over shot a turn this was only on the first lap but you get use to it very quickly. What a great little car.
