I have no idea what Roj will do to that souvenir, given how much he hates that car.

Yeah especially since I couldn't spot a single spec of rust anywhere!

 

[ImprezaAddict]

RJ finally accepted the friend request I'll send the Supra now. Thanks RJ.

Also, just read that the V16T is a nice drive after passing through here, so I'm gonna try it. 👍

RKM Motorsport’s Suki’s S2000

After looking for a proper 450pp tune to take the world on in, I think I've found what works
This iteration of the S2000 seems to be significantly better than what I've tried; even with sports mediums, the rear is always planted, and takes a bit of forcing to make it go sideways. On the online-spec SS's, the grip was even more apparent; The Understeer has disappeared, as well as the oversteer. The only thing that's left is the RWD wheelspin, and that's still quite manageable. Oddly, it reminds me of a RX-7, but without the oversteer

A great, balanced racer:tup:

Now, I only have one question; is it hard to get ~1.5 G out of Sports softs without downforce? This achieves that, but not much else that I've come across can do that without having a wing, or has less than 200hp

Not to take anything away from Roj's tune there but you might also check out a few of the other tunes entered in the 1st Annual Fall Roadster Battle!.
Think quite a few of them might surprise you there including a certain "Super Spooky Rod".

Oh look, here's the RKM Python, a Dodge Viper ACR with a little more bite...

There is something I can't place my finger on here...whilst this car is not the first choice for proper racing, and whilst it doesn't really handle like a supercar should, it is still so amazing to drive it. And you will enjoy it until it bites you...which is your own fault

Just remember to be careful with that throttle...you might regret it otherwise

Of course i'll wait ;D for now, buy an ACR and try your tune ;D never drove that car.. :$

Good luck with it! It is a bit hard to get used to it though...lots of power!

@Dragonthing any chance you've made any progress on my project?

Nope, you just have to remember this is not a fantastic car for corners...

Onboy is right, it says in the OP about this, I'm afraid we cannot make any exceptions. If you want to make a request, just review an RKM tune

And I doubt there will be any ZR1 tunes from me, I hate the car...which is odd because the ZR1 Race Modified is my favorite RM

Please give me an example for a review, because i dont know what i have to write

Well if you have a car with one of our tunes, write about that! Reviews aren't that difficult to write, you just need to think of why you like the car, eg. How it handles...just tell us what you like and don't worry if you can't write an entire story, either

 

[f1357924680]

Oh ok thank you
For example this ?


Review: i love the corvette zr1 because its a real beast and difficult to drive

Just like that although for it to be a proper review you need more, maybe take it for a test lap, and say how that went or something similar...here is a link to have a look at, from some users who write far too many reviews

No, that's a sentence. A review would be to take that sentence, and build on your points.

E.g, (small example as I am on phone and don't know much about the ZR1)

I love the corvette ZR1 because it's a real beast and difficult to drive. In the corners, oversteer is constant, especially on throttle. The car feels very loose, throttle control is a must or you'll crash or spin, Etc.

Okay, no need to make me look bad but yes, what he said

And for anyone interested, I'm currently wrestling an R35 GT500 into behaving properly...

 

[f1357924680]

Review: i love this corvette zr1 because it looks great and its a real beast but it has to much understeering at the complete corner so i have to break and it isnt fun to drive slow with that monster. this corvette accelerates so fast with the standard gearbox! Its like a rocket
some people say i am insane because i drive this with racing hard tires, but they dont know that i want to use this car as an endurance racecar

... did Spec 2.0 change the GTR GT500 drastically? As far as I remember, in Spec 1.0, that car was glued to the road like hell.

……it wheelspined from 1st-3rd and oversteered at every opportunity.

It didn't for me... If it did then it didn't really whip out its ass around too much. That's just me though.

 

[Dragonthing]

…it wheelspined from 1st-3rd and oversteered at every opportunity.

Exactly my problem, even with stupidly long gears...cannot keep it stuck at all. It's worse than the ACR I posted up, and the MP4...and the SLR...
