Since the final piece to the RKM tuned Super GT500 puzzle is the Lexus SC430, how about tuning one of them? Or would you rather the IS350 GT300? Or neither?
Edit: Is anyone online on GT5 at the moment? My friends list isn't showing anyone as being online, heck it doesn't show anyone at all! And I can't access my friends list which means I have to actually grind my ass off to buy the frickin' Miura that I had Roj put on share for me
A 1967 ticket will get you the Miura. You just have to keep re-opening it till you get it. I think there are 10 to 15 cars to cycle through with the 1967 ticket.

A: I'm pretty sure Roj's 'signature' NSX-R is more for fun than outright speed, because that's how I feel about it.
B: Racing soft tires? Really? Almost no road car needs those, and the NSX-R is definitely not one of them.

I don't even know which NSX he was refering to. Sometimes I don't think anyone reads the OP or half of the tune sheet.

I wanted to scare people to death in that special way only an 800bhp and 800lbft Italian supercar with a 64-valve V16 can

@Dragonthing expect a belated Valentine to be arriving in the next hour or so.
Hope you find it more fun than the extended shift you pulled at McD's that day.

LOL. Bro, you can't. You just can't.
For starters, our NSXs (all of them) are tuned for LESS power than you're running, WORSE tires, and to have downforce.
How you wound up only doing 1:27s in one fully tuned like yours is, I have no idea... Ours do 1:27 (well, mine DID back before Spec II ruined it, Roj's still do) all day every day on sports tires with ~400hp.
We've got no problem with criticism, but you're whining about a tune not doing what it should do WHEN YOU WON'T GIVE IT A CHANCE TO!
C'mon. You're kidding right?

Just to clarify. Mine does 1:22 and 1:27 with your set up. Re-checking my set up it also has a weight disadvantage because I added more weight to balance out the car. It is at +94kg's and ballast all the way to the front. And I've been testing your set up all day vs mine so I think I gave it more of a chance than most would.

Perhaps it's just because you're using a DFGT and the tune was done with a DS3. DS3 tunes are much looser than wheel tunes by nature because the DS3 isn't as precise as a wheel. Although that still shouldn't result in such a terrible laptime, which as RJ said, could easily be done with 400bhp (390bhp too) and sports tyres. You've not mentioned which NSX tune you used, so there's not much more to say really.

It's definitely the controller difference then. The Evolution R is rock solid with racing softs in my hands. I'd say it's actually a bit understeery at the limit. No sudden oversteer or anything.

I will re-test with ds3 tomorrow then. I really hope it is as you say. Although I am so used to my dfgt now it may take a little time for me to get into the groove. I will be happy to pm my tune to any of RKM's members for testing if you wish just let me know who. However that will have to wait since I'm at work tonight.

I shall look forward to it! Plus I might do a quick tune for a Fezza or a Lambo, I'm bored...

The Evolution R is a bit understeery on sports tyres too. It's more suited to flatter tracks than Trial Mountain. For that I would use the red NSX tune, which is more suited to bumps. But hey, it might just handle fine on a wheel. If not, I'll retune it since I'm not happy with it.
And I guess I can test your setup. It would give me some insight into how you drive too.
Do an F40 so everyone will stop harrassing me.

Uhm...nope? You should already know how secret my matte brown F40 remains
I was thinking maybe my SP1R tune could be popular, since it actually makes a good racing car, very stable and a rare sight too

It's rare because it's ugly.
Why did they put eyeliner on an F430?

Mine is a slight improvment, and either way it makes a fun troll car
plus it's MY tune so it's atleast worth a drive!

You have to name it after an eyeliner manufacturer then.

Sorry Dragonthing but looks like my internet has gone in the 🤬 craper again so won't be able to send the car until tomorrow. (At least I hope it will allow me to connect long enough to send it tomorrow
) Anyways the tune for it is posted over at the Café though sadly the internet crashed just before I finished the post first time around, taking my original post and around 2 hours of my life with it. So until I find the energy (most likely tomorrow)to rewrite it, its without the fun descriptive text I wrote up.
In the meantime...
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
This Alfas been tuned,
Just for you.
Sidewinder NSX...
I need more practice with the car but I see the awesomeness contained within. Had it not been a faux pas on my part on lap 1 Id have won the new Seasonal. BoB on the other hand, he wants to marry Roj after "cruising" to victory in every single 500PP B-Spec Seasonal. In 1st place after 1 lap every time!
BRAKING NEWS (pun intended!):
DEAR GOD DRAGON WHAT HAVE YOU WROUGHT WITH THAT BLACK SWAN?!?! Please, everyone go get one and spec it out as she has laid it out. It is like Mr Toads Wild Ride and then some. I had a girlfriend in HS and in to College who was like this thing. You may be behind the wheel but seriously, you are a GD passenger. Sideways at over 200MPH and suddenly SLAM back in to position then sideways the other way. Pulling hair, scratching back, talking VERY naughty and even some slapping going on in there. It IS an experience unto itself.
Sidewinder NSX... I am going to continue to use it til I win that Seasonal. Even try it on the others if I can. So if anyone wants their BoB to make them some easy credits, you can do no wrong using this piece of marvelous machinery and setup, just set it and forget it. Come back after 10 mins or so to 400k or so.
Now to OH DEAR GOD THAT SWAN IS COMING FOR ME AGAIN!!!!!

Well, the SP1Maybeline was actually rather nice to drive, though I did nearly overstep the mark quite a few times with it. Which was hardly a nice experience, to say the least. No, if it's your tune, it just means that my chance of survival is quite a bit lower.Mine is a slight improvment, and either way it makes a fun troll car

You already did.
You sure hope it would.

So my SP1 is better than I thought with the spoiler adjusted, and I also found my old Peugeot troll car that I might upload too...
