Welcome to Sideways Tuning, the garage for those cars that seem a little too oversteery for their own good. being that there are a limited amount of cars that behave in this manner, this garage wont be open long. I plan to put out tunes that are well balanced, planted cars that can put the power down efficiently and produce consistent lap times. My cars will have Sports tires on road cars and Racing tires on race cars. If the demand is there i will put racing tires on my road cars granted its something that demands it.

I don't claim to be an expert tuner but i can offer you advice on how to get your car to handle properly. I will flat out say I do not believe the backwards ride height theory. I will not argue that point in this thread either so please if you have a disagreement with me PM me instead.

The inspiration for this garage must be that i enjoy challenging cars. Zondas, Rufs, Stratos', GT's, and other cars that just seem to oversteer or step out constantly are my favorites to drive. My friends can vouch for me on my choice of car and it puts a smile on my face when i can beat them with a car like the Stratos.
So without further boring typing i reveal my debut tunes for my Pagani Zondas.

Pagani Zonda C12 550PP
Pagani Zonda C12 600PP
Pagani Zonda C12S 610PP
Pagani Zonda C12S 7.3 636PP

Saleen S7 tunes coming soon!!

The addiction to Zondas is a 6 step program. It begins with the first of the breed, the C12. So you've spent the money for a car that has unique styling and the performance to match, whoop de doo. You're just like every other fancy guy in Itlay with a Ferrari or Lamborghini. But wait, you bought a Zonda, you went against the status quo. You're brave my friend. This is your first step to recovery.

This is a middle of the road car. Its not quite a C12S but its a cut above the C12 you bought earlier. Strap on some stickier tire's, retune the engine, ditch the stock suspension and you have a track monster of a mid engine Italilan car. You now have a car that corners flatter, has nearly zero body roll and can power out of the corners without fear of losing your rear end. Bring on the Maserati Gran Turismos, Alfa Romeos 8C's, Ferrari F430's, and Lamborghini Gallardo's, they're nothing compared to your new track oriented C12. By the way, its still wearing street rubber so take the beatdown to the streets as well. What your still not satisfied? Well there's more to come....

Step 2
So your mildly tuned C12 wasnt enough to satisfy your appetite huh? You got greedy with more horsepower and more tuning. You went and reinforced the chassis and gave it an insane amount of power. Good thing you already made the right choice with the tires. Still havent upgraded that Transmission huh?

Well now, your car is nearly at its limit with the performance enhancements. That doesnt bother you one bit. Not as your watching that F430 Scuderia disappear in your rear view mirror. This car not only looks good but it goes just as well. You've spent your hard earned cash on all the go fast goodies and the rewards are wonderful. Handling remains uncompromised, but watch your right foot. Push it too hard and the spirit of the Zonda will bite you where you least expect it. So have you had enough yet? No?

Step 3
What happened to your C12? I thought you really loved that car? Did you really sell it to that fat cat on Wall Street? He can never truly appreciate a car like that. I gotta say though this new car is a beauty. You're never satisfied with just a single color are you? Well step 3 has hit you hard my friend, a C12S is no laughing matter. More power, more displacement, more concentrated driving will have you on the edgee of your seat lap after lap.

I hope your happy, you had a good thing going with your C12 but no you had to go and upgrade. Sure that Enzo didnt know what passed him but is all this horsepower means nothing without control. Yes the car still has no body roll and yes it still corners flatter. But you're dealing with more torque so be careful when acceleration out of those slower corners. Don't tell me theres more....

Step 4
Oh now you've gone and done it. First the C12, then the S, now the S 7.3. You've gone over the deep end, i'm surprised your significant other hasn't abandoned you yet. That power will kill you if she doesn't.

I hope you're happy. Greed is no longer good but power is indefinite. You have a massive 7.3 liter AMG tuned engine churning out 865HP, all on street tires. You must be a madman, all the Murcielagos and Enzos behind you are nothing compared to that next hairpin you have to late brake into. But you're not worried. This car can handle it. Mid mounted engine means you can turn in harder and sharper than those Vipers you passed 3 laps ago. Be careful with that throttle pedal though, too much pressure and its bye bye first place. Roll into it though and all your worries are gone. It looks like you'll be content with Step 4.
