Great... that's my second Mitsubishi beast (my first is the Lancer you tuned for me, and 3rd is my FTO... which I'm currently waiting for the GP Version R '99 to appear in my UCD.. 2000 game days and nothing on the car...)
I didn't realise we were the #1 Google result for "RKM Tuning" too. Sweet.
Just try it

I decided to actually do that review on the Enzo GT vs. The Murcielago LP-780-4 SV. So ,um, yeah..... here you go...
Enzo GT: The Ferrari Enzo is an amazing car. I know that even though I've never driven one in real life. So when I drove it in GT5 I was utterly disappointed, the steering was awful, the brakes were awful it was, well, awful. So I came to my favorite tuning group on GTP: RKM Motorsport.
I knew that they had a tune for the Enzo, I knew it was good (I saw a review of it), and I knew that it was RKM's 50th tune, so it's undoubtedly special. hen I first drove it, I put 50 KG of ballast at the very front, I have removed it. I LOVE this car, if my favorites list wasn't reserved for drift cars, this would be there.
This car is SOOOO easy to drive without traction control, something that can't be said for many cars with this much power. Now, I don't like putting racing ties on cars if it isn't a race car, but I know this car needs it. The brakes are still bad, but much improved over the stock setup. I love how I can hammer the gas early in a corner and there's minimal wheelspin. The transmission is also well setup, I can tell some time went into it. On a chicane-less Sarthe I hit 260 MPH without redlining, now that's something.
I think that this tune makes the Enzo the very best it can be, and for that, I congratulate RKM.
Murcielago LP-780-4 SV: Once again, this car was a little disappointing out of the box, so ,again, I came to see hat RKM could do. I think this car also needs racing soft tires to be really good, which is a little annoying, but ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do. The Murcie understeers more than the Enzo, and is a little fidgety under hard braking, but I find this car to be surprisingly fun, and it's also beautiful in Verde Ithaca, but Every lambo is so...
In real life, I've seen 0-60 times for the Murcie between 2.9 and 3.2 seconds, Now that's stupid quick. The Enzo has been rated at 3.4 seconds in the same race. Between the two tuned cars in-game, the Lambo is a smidgen faster to 60, but then the Enzo blows past it, and keeps accelerating.
I love this car too, but just doesn't feel as fast, but, in reality, it is. Now I didn't test these two very long, So I don't want to put out my times, not yet at least. But I can tell you that the Lamborghini was about 4 seconds faster than the Enzo at grand valley. I also compared these two against the other Murcielago tuned by another tuning company, and it was 2 seconds slower than the SV. So, here are the scores for the two cars.
Enzo: Handling:9 Fun to drive:9 Track time:8 Overall:26/30
Murcielago: Handling:8 Fun to drive:9 Track time:10 Overall:27/30
So as you can see, They're both great, but the Lamborghini wins by the tiniest bit, which is why I feel that Lamborghini>Ferrari. But whichever one you choose, you can rest assured that you made a winning choice.
But please, don't start a war about which you think is better, I don't want to see this thread turned into a huge war. I think I'll try the *giggle* Big Yellow Penetrator soon.

I picked up a used FTO GPX to replace my GP Version R today (haven't touched it yet, waiting for some other cars to show up). I went and sold a lot of my older cars and now am bringing them mostly back. Still have one GTO/3000GT each now though, still have a Mirage too, don't have any Evos now, except for the good old CT230R I have

I'm currently using the MR GTO Twin Turbo, I can send you the non-MR version fully tuned...

My non MR version is fully tuned though...
Just without downforce. Makes it great for drags, mind you Has 695bhp, which is not enough for a GTO still. I want the 900hp+ monsters of GT1 back... 
Also I'm still waiting for confirmation that the Penetrator
can win on the Dream Car Championship at Monza

Just let me change my MR setting from your GTFO to the Penetrator and try...
Maybe later, gotta finish school work (which I'm lazy
) and need to go back ASAP to your Rally Shootout (totally forgot I was a tester 
)

Thanks for the review! I'm sure any Ferrari vs Lamborghini fight won't happen because of your review.
When we realised the Enzo is no NSX, we decided to improve everything we could to make up for it's flaws. The lack of wheelspin, the insane top speed, the great control, it's all done to make up for those horrid brakes and the lack of any front grip. Little bit of trivia for you, the Enzo will do 274mph before redlining.
I love the Murcielago. I love Lamborghini in general, but yeah, it's a rapid car even against a 900bhp Enzo. I want to do a normal LP-640 tune on sports soft tyres, just to complete the set.
But yeah, thanks for reviewing those two head to head!
Also I'm still waiting for confirmation that the Penetrator
Do it yourself! It probably can win if your driving is up to it.

Maybe if you ask Dragonthing nicely, she will.Can't really be bothered to find the right form in my UCD so I wanna see the true owner pull it off
It's obvious where your loyalties lie. 👎
I kid, I kid. Drive the red one and compare it against RJ's RX-7, since those are the RKM flagships.

I'll compare them later. Actually, I should have an NSX shootout. I love the NSX so much. I remember being to an auto show when I was eight or nine and the most memorable part was seeing a Type S Zero in Imola orange. I have more vivid memories of that car than seeing a pontiac GTO race car or the riced out civics and integras there that I thought were cool when I was younger.It's obvious where your loyalties lie. 👎

Yeah you'd think that they'd make that a trophy with so many cars. Also I wonder where that meme came from..

The AI is very cautious with that LM though...I certainly know I am! It tries to kill me every time I try to tune it. But congratulations! A heavy 4WD Mitsubishi that sounds like a sex toy won!
