Yeah let me know when you get around to that... *patiently waiting*
Now comes the difficult part: Picking a song out of the music library for the FC's video. So much Eurobeat to pick from...

Just got done with the F Bomb Z/28 with the Stars N Stripes seasonal on Cape Ring:
Pretty much everyones letting off F bombs as I speak. My only complaint is that the gearing is unusually short. But apart from that, its brilliant! Plus, it looks great with Matte Green.

That's one I didn't expect. I think the gearbox is just right on the F-Bomb. Accelerates nicely, hits a reasonable top speed for the car in question. It's not like it's a drag racing tune or anything.
I feel like it definitely doesn't need a higher top speed because of how badly it spanks other muscle cars in the cornering department. Don't get heated up on me, I'm just bored and wanted something to talk about. We all have our own opinions, after all.

It's because it was tuned for a Cote d'Azur shootout. It's worth using a lower final gear ratio for it. 👍

Hey that's cool! In the end it's only really the people I never even see around GTP any more that will be deleted. All the cool people and my CoD clan will be kept

Hope you find some room to make. You'll be missing out on the new track I made, which is a lot of fun.

Welp... Not much I can do about that.
Anyways, here's my "review" of White Loveliness.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6I1is8wz7Y
Ahhh, the days when it was young.
I guess I'll give some history here. This particular FC has been in my GT5 garage since the beginning, along with a black Evo IV. The Evo IV was retired when the Skyline R32 came along and now it sits happily in my garage for casual driving and marveling at just how far I've come. The FC on the other hand continued seeing action as a drift car. It was a star at the 'Ring and Fuji. The activity withered and died away as my garage got more populated. Eventually the FC just wasn't seeing the light anywhere near as often. That's where Roj comes along.
Like I said before, I'm quite...limited on words for this car. I requested my FC to run kinda like Dreamy Ghost does and expected something whack. Never in a million years would I have expected the final product to turn out this good. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but I've noticed that the tune pretty much resembles what I enjoy the most. I have to say that for pulling 420 horsepower and 322 pounds of torque, this car is very controlled in touge. Overall, White Loveliness is wild amounts of fun and fantastic for touge.
What's the catch? When you corner, you give this car your trust. If you don't trust it, your corners are going to be extremely sloppy.
That's really all I have to say for it. There's a lot more, but that would extend my time away from driving the FC. Enjoy the video, which does the car more justice than I can with words. Big thanks again, Roj. You brought life into this car for me again.

Oh yeah, I had stumbled across your old thread the other day. I was planning to surprise you by bringing a review of one of the tunes to this thread, but now that you're planning to re-release some old tunes already...so much for that.
EDIT: I got rid of the grumpy face. It was more angry than sad. I don't like giving the wrong ideas.

Well yesterday's casual touge with Sapphire and Che69velle was a lot of fun. I got to let the FC, GT86 GT-Apex, and Miura LP380 out for some fun times on my course.
I can see myself running LOTS in the future now that Che69velle's Scarlet Lady is in my possession, so I have a "shoto" to go off of for other builds.
For my non fighting gamers, shoto is a term named after Ryu and Ken's fighting style. Ryu in Street Fighter is a textbook definition of a solid fighting game character because he's good at everything, but not great at anything. Thus, Ryu and other characters that share this trait have become referred to as shotos.
Che69velle's Scarlet Lady FD is what I would consider a shoto in terms of touge. It doesn't lean towards power or grip because it has a solid balance of both.

in other words, it is a jack of all trades, master of none.
(that's a little harsh though :S)
well it fits, if you face a power focused say gtr. the scarlet lady will decimate it in the turns and dust it before the long straights give the gtr an advantage. if you face a turn focused car like an nsx, you can tail gate it till the driver cracks under pressure or get the edge in the straights. the car relies on the skill of the driver to get master status.
the lack of full racing trans and the use of sports hard tires at 450 and 500pp classes ballance the cars competitively.
