IM CSL? I think you mean the 135i, right? Or you could use the Bread Van. No, not that one, the other one. The one based on the Z3.

Hmm most people I know plumb for an M3, FT-86, S2000 or NSX *hint*
The S2000 got me to 1:11.0 but that's my limit with it. I'm just going to call it quits as I'm sick of Rome now. Great challenge though.

Great effort
S2000 I can get around in 1:09.338 my best recorded I wont post the tune as I don't confess to be up to much in that dept I just drive whats put infront of me, for your efforts I will definately drop in a review the big cat Jag has caught my eye (and my heart).

I must confess my childhood love for Jags and when I saw the tune was for a fully fledged green mean soft rubber racing machine my heart missed a beat. I began with only the tuning as to get a feel for the base to comment on the differences (I skipped the wheels though as tbh there hideous
) I was a little heasitant about not fitting a rear wing as I was sure with the devils advocate in BHP it was going to be a big cat ready to pounce and put me into a wall, not a tame pussy cat but hey ho the sacrifies we make... The first thing I noticed tuning the car was that with the same tunes my big cat was putting out 696 BHP think there might be a typo?
Never the less out we went with all the tunes but default settings.
Rome 1:06.286
Grand Valley East 1:00.116
Nurburgring GP/D 1:26:447
I was quite surprised by the initial handling much to my astonishment rather than being the predicted live rear end it was very in check, as was to my astonishment the turn in on slower 2nd gear corners was very good as was the overall rotation however the acres of understeer in 3rd and 4th gear corners meant that missing an apex was as likely as it is that it would rain on the factory in Britain it was built, and after a few laps of blasting around my 'test' tracks I was so annoyed at the back pushing the front out through the longer corners I found myself trying to kick the back end to force some senblance of oversteer and therefore came to the conclusion it was time for the tune..
The results speak for themselves on a more flowing track like GVE the power could be tamed through the open flowing bends, on a more twisty track such as Rome it was a bit of a handful and on the hard breaking tightening first few corners of GP/D I felt like more of a soggy moggy than a sharp cat.
Rome 1:06.312 +0.03
Grand Valley East 1:00.001 -0.1
Nurburgring GP/D 1:25.844 -0.6
The tune went on fine despite the extra 30bhp than quoted. The first thing I noticed was that the stiff suspension had improved the observable body roll the second being that I had a very hard time staying with the standard setup around Rome I suspect due to the measily 170mph that it could reach on the strights. So onto GVE where with the flowing corners and longer straight it should come into its own.. it didn't what it did do however was create a lot of smoke from the front tires under braking for a relatively little gain in overall lap time. In an indurance race I think I would opt for the original setting as it would tear through these softs in short order. The turn in was better for the corners but it developed a front end understeer kick when changing from 3rd to 4th while still winding the lock off in the longer corners causing me to run slighty wide on a couple of exits, thus causing a delay in getting the power down and hurting the laps.
In summary then I suspect this tune would perform at its peak on the nuburgring nords where it can really get the rubber down as it started to show promise on the back end of GP/D, it does feel like a fat cat not a lean killing machine with understeer being the order of the day and the back end being safer than houses on the soft rubber, which definately explains the lack of aero on the back. I would like to see a slightly shorter box and more front end on this. As it suffers from apparent Enzo'itis as in turn in you fat piece of **** Enzo, this may be cured by some front end ballast but I haven't tried it so may ruin the wonderfully predicible understeer and excellent braking stablility.
I would rate this tune a 5.5 iNNoVations out of 10 for its predictablility. I'm sure that given enough laps you could shave some time off as it is very consitent in its handling and this could be used to manhandle it into some better lines and although on a single lap the times were not all that the consitency and ease of putting these laps in was greatly improved, but saying that I dont think its going to compete with the ferociousness of the LFA's, 548's and M3's for out and out pace that all also reside on the upper side of 550pp.
I would therefore feed this cat kitty food, not raw steaks.

Thanks for your tuning thread guys, your 908 and R10 tunes were outstanding making these cars great for me. I've used a few of your other tunes with some success with a few minor tweaks to suit my style. The tunes don't always work out but that's cuz styles vary, but keep 'em comin, Good stuff!!!

Probing?Yes yes yes please do it!
Thank you!Great effort
At least my bad driving didn't go to waste.Some cars... With wheels and stuff... Okay one car is a BMW of sorts, that's all I'll give.
Did you oil change your car? Perhaps that's where the power came from? That or the exhaust, or maybe a typo on my end.
Anyway I never realised the stock setup was actually faster in a time attack so I'll definately have to go back and give the Jag some tweaking. I just enjoyed how it drove and thought the default settings wouldn't be close. The lack of a wing is more for style though, I do admit.
Thanks for the review!
Thanks! 👍 We understand everyone has different styles so no hard feelings there.

Tuner Comments:
This is the 599 Wild Pony. As the name suggests, its pretty wild. The reason being is that it has 723bhp. Are we crazy? Yes. Youll notice that even with the cars colossal power, the front end is still as sharp as a razor. This means when the rear end does kick out, youll be able to hold and control it. So with this, you can change the behaviour of the car pretty quickly during cornering. Understeer? Boot it. Oversteer? Back off the throttle. Its not the fastest 599, but its the one thatll never fail to impress.
Woooo wtf you got the rims with the chrome lip that I have always wanted to put on my 599! Times like this are what makes me thankful you guys put the name of the rims you use lol. Also my Art Morrison is the same color you choose I like that old school red corvette look too
I ran the new diff setup last night and I am deeply amazed on how the car responds to it. I cut my best time in tsukuba by -0.08...s (not much but still) after doing only 3 laps (1 installment). Give me 3 more laps, I believe I could do better. The early sign has told everything....
The cornering capability do not suffer even any tiny bit, however the new diff setup gives the car more punch on corner exits as the inner front tyre spins MUCH less than before. It still turns red in some deep corner exits, but for the whole course, it notably has less spin, prolly 40% less at least.
I feel like it has more acceleration going out of every corner now. Maybe it's just me... but the lap time confirms it
Overall I want to say thank you again for the improving jobs, ur really a God of tuners man...
Peace

A+ swag. I like your style.
Although I loved your R33 (somewhat, since mine has a retuned tranny that crushes Onboy123 every second, all done by me), why do you have to quote the entire tune? Takes up lots of space.

hmmm...Doubt it. Maybe they'll give online and offline the same physics but otherwise I don't see it changing. It's mostly setup changes that's holding things up for now. Whether they'll redo the transmission again or if they'll add more options and stuff.
I'm just hoping for the FT-86 II.
How about
Boat tail Duesenberg, Mercedes-Benz 540K, Rolls Royce Silver Phantom, '55 Chevy, Model T Ford, Model A Ford...
Sorry my list of wanted cars is endless!

Agreed!
I'd love to see some British classics from here in Southend-on-Sea...stuff like the Ford Escort and Fiesta RS Turbo, and the good old Vauxhall Nova GTE
