Dibs on all the DLC cars!

There, we'll get it first then. You take your polar bear friendly Nissan, I'm going in the Jaaaggg XJ-R LM thing.

You should see the Nismo Leaf RC. Omg

The Aston V12 Vantage is a good call 👍 I want aero kits on the Aventador that make it an SuperVeloce Aventador. With 780hp

XJR-9 is something I'd rather beat in races than drive. It's a good comparison in the Dream Car Championship And at last, that driver will have a shinier car to drive in!

Beetle will be modded up of course. Mini Countryman will be made into a WRC

Hmm…Wishful thinking, but Nissan Leaf RM anyone?

Dibs on that. And the Aventador. And the Premium'd XJR-9.

Woo hoo. Here is a very insane Lotus Esprit that is sure to make you feel all warm and hot inside. It's even got good handling and speed...just to make you feel scared too. Lol.

This thing though, really, is not so bad to drive. It has good steering that won't kill you, it isn't too crazy for an MR, and apparently, according to Praiano, it is very good at 600PP racing too.

So then, if you want to drive an MR without killing yourself, I suggest you take one of these. You never know, it might save a few lives. Nah, it won't. It's not terribly important. Hah.

Right, now we have a simple tune for all to try. A Seat Ibiza, made into a super hot hatch that could level the Megane RS. But it won't really, partially because it isn't good enough for that.

This thing though is not terribly bad to drive. Understeer isn't prominent, it does have some good speed and on twisty tracks your speed limiter won't matter.

This then, is a hot hatch made into real life, only smaller. Sort of like a Leon Cupra R for the game, but not a Leon. Still...you could do worse. This is the only Seat in the game, so...yeah.

Lol. Bet you thought this was an actual Swift. Instead, it is the concept version of it, with a traditional hot hatch setup. Like the Seat Ibiza Imola. Indeed, most of the parts are identical to what you see on the Ibiza.

But this is still a good handler regardless. You will have to come up with a bad speed limit, but oh well. Most of the time, if your straight isn't long enough, you shouldn't have to worry about it anyway.

And still this thing is fast. You shouldn't need to worry about understeer, and again, the lack of top speed is not as much of an issue as it could be. Just remember...it's not actually a Swift.

Ford GT, at long last. For those who are a fan of the crazy American remake of a 45 year old legend, this is your car. Not a full mod, though, so watch out for that.

Realistically, the steering on this GT isn't as good as it could be but watch out in a straight line...the gear ratios are set up for super good acceleration, whilst 6th is merely set so high to stop it from having no top end speed.

You will love the speed this thing delivers so brilliantly with very little effort. I don't know if this works on the other 3 Ford GTs, seeing as the No Stripe is 'different', but have a go with it on any Ford GT and you'll be good.

If there's anything more anonymous in this game than the excellent Mazda Lantis, or Lance of Lantis as it is put here, this Mazda Familia could be it. Never has one of these really been bought in a GT game to date.

Yet when you do actually get it at last, try this tune. Awfully simple, yes, but then you might wanna know this tune doesn't understeer, and while you have to be careful with the brakes, it isn't bad to drive at all.

I realise I might well be boring you with these light tunes, but do not worry. One more after this, and we're gonna go all out...but you'll have to wait till next week to find out. Ha!

So then, here we are with an old British classic that we have decided to bring back to life with many new parts. Triumph Spitfire. Lightweight enough for most, but powerful enough for enjoyment too.

Here though, you can actually have some fun too. With the FR drivetrain, on a remotely wet road, you will have a lot of fun sliding this thing. And you won't be killed by any sudden jerks because it's only got 105bhp.

So say no to any dullard old racers and try them out for yourself. Give them the ZedTunes treatment and you're golden. Although you will have seen more powerful tunes, unfortunately.

But the only real Countach tune I'd try doing is a 25th Anniversary one with enough speed to make it feel like a 5000 Quattrovalvolvevovalvovivevolvevave version.

I was amazed with joy when Lamborghini's Aventador was put in with so many bodykits into this game. I only wanted to make an SV prototype of the thing, and while I would need a bit more bodykitting to make it work (presumably because of the rear end) it's not bad.

This is the Vent and Door LP780-4 SV, which sounds like what the real car will end up with given that they have now been crazy enough to go beyond the 600s for horsepower. I'm looking very much forward to seeing the Ferrari FF Scuderia that tries to rival this thing.

Alas, thanks to poor implementation, the 0-60 time is only 2.9 seconds, the same as real life when it's stock, while stock it'll do it in something in 3.3. So, bit of a disappointment there, but still...you could find worse to drive.

This tune works on so many variants that I have decided that it probably works on all 9 variants of the Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO SL/R in this game. Goes to show part of PD's failure to notice that we don't want that many in this game. Just get two Premiums in for either and we're done. Yes, they all look different, but really...you could have fooled me.

This is perfect for the character you should, or may have (since I'll definitely get it changed out at some point) seen in my avatar, Ryuuko. You see, because of the complication that is the Japanese alphabet, people like to change her name up using different alphabet types. And that fits the 3000GT/GTO - always having its name changed.

Alas, this isn't as energetic as her, it's still overweight despite all possible effort, and this certainly is not as cute. But not only is it a good drive, in the right colour and very loud, but even in the seemingly old colours you have here this 3000GT here looks good. The overall body shape isn't great, but all the little details, like the lights, vents, spoiler, exhausts, they're all great. Which is why I chose the 3000GT SL '96 over the rest of them. You may wish to try the GTO SR '95 instead, or the 3000GT SR '98, but this is the one I'm having. And I'm not changing it.

It's OK, PD. No, really, it is. Continue to not provide us with the excellent Honda Weider HSV-010 that so brilliantly won the 2010 Super GT in its first year, and continue to keep the outdated NSXs in the game that feel so boring now. Keep on going. Keep on going!

Because of this infuriation with the lack of a Weider Honda HSV-010, I have sort of had to make one myself. And that's where this, the Weider Honda HSC comes in.

In terms of Super GTs, it is nowhere near them generally. It can beat AIs easily, with its RS tyres, and it has only a little less power and not much more weight, but a lot less aero too. This is annoying. But the colour scheme is almost there! Silver and red combined with blue, that is about as close as I'm gonna get it.

So, while PD doesn't provide us with a Honda HSV-010, use this instead to express your infuriation with them. Go on. Go on! Sorry this tune is obsolete PD have answered my calls. Still, might as well drive it regardless!

The VW 1200 may have been annoying for some in the DLC pack, but it was great for me. It meant another classic VW to tune!

And here's what came out of it. Look at that wing. Look at it! That's the sort of thing you get on a 3000GT '98. It almost squashes this Beetle by itself!

This particular Beetle is very fast, although absolutely bizarre sounding. Who would have though part-extracting a 458 Italia engine would work on this thing? If you turn in hard enough, it will have a worrying habit of falling over, which might well have something to do with the dampers, but this makes it even more Bonkers But Brilliant. It doesn't live up to its completely promised brilliance but still, please enjoy.

This is the Volkswagen Beetle 1100, probably the most sane of all the classic VWs in this game.

And yet, I still love it. 88bhp may not sound like a lot, but really, it isn't that bad. You can still get a good drive out of this thing, and while the 1200 now outdoes it in next to every other category, I will still say I prefer the 1100 here. Really. It just feels so much easier to me, and that's why I would take it over that. Still doesn't stop either from being great, mind you.

Yes, a bit in your face to any Brazilians, sorry. But with a name like this with puns galore to make, who can resist?

This is the Volkswagen SambaBus, one of the crazier classic Veedubs. With a power band with a peak to rival Mount Everest's, (ie one of the worst powerbands in history), 200 rear mounted HPs, and many crazy possible paint jobs, this is probably one of the more fun cars in the game.

This particular version is rather out of control, with its setup, but that just makes it somewhat more fun. Enjoy.

DAARG! The puns return...

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Well, time for me to do something that is long overdue...

Toyota 86 GT-S

Ok, so I was happy to see the "New Hachiroku" in this game. And then I was kinda dissapointed with the engine. It needed more powahhh! And a handling that would make me say "Damm, this is fun!" Has this car answered those questions? Actually, it has. Sure, it is a bit specific (only works on tight courses), but at least it has far more fizz and a lively handling. The close gearbox hurts the speed, so the main target was handling. On Deep Forest, it handled. Pretty good. You need to see it for yourself, though. What did I think? Good job, C! You improved the 86 to the good sports car level!

I was amazed with joy when Lamborghini's Aventador was put in with so many bodykits into this game. I only wanted to make an SV prototype of the thing, and while I would need a bit more bodykitting to make it work (presumably because of the rear end) it's not bad.

This is the Vent and Door LP780-4 SV, which sounds like what the real car will end up with given that they have now been crazy enough to go beyond the 600s for horsepower. I'm looking very much forward to seeing the Ferrari FF Scuderia that tries to rival this thing.

Alas, thanks to poor implementation, the 0-60 time is only 2.9 seconds, the same as real life when it's stock, while stock it'll do it in something in 3.3. So, bit of a disappointment there, but still...you could find worse to drive.

Just a note. Tyres on the stock car, sport soft, mean faster acceleration. 2.9 seconds to 60. Not real, but close enough.sxe

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET

THIS IS A NORMAL NISSAN MARCH

MADE G MAJOR

DO NOT TAMPER WITH IT

Why do Nissan choose to make specs based on musical notes anyway? Mercedes do not have the C-Class A♭, nor do you see BMW providing you with a 3-Series E♮. Still, the Nissan March. In G Major.

Well, here she is. An MG TF160 designed not to slide. Quite amazing, really. Capable of an 8:41 in my hands, but remember: these are my hands we're talking about, not anyone else's. Depending on your speed, and maybe your controller type, results may vary. Thank you.

Here is the not-so-long awaited sequel to last update's Ryuuko-S: the Ryuuko-R. Sit back: this one's not gonna be for the faint-hearted.

Designed mainly to inflict fatality on the victim/driver with killer acceleration, the Ryuuko-R has been tested to do 0-60 times with next to identical values to a stock FTO STC. Which is lighter, obviously, but then 110bhp down on this. This thing has 555hp, which is a nice round number. Just watch out for the short fuse on this thing: it only does 164 tops. So it's like a CT230R then. Only in a 3000GT body. So, that's a CT230R for everyone then. A CT230R for those who like Evo's, an FTO STC for those who like FTOs and this for those that like 3000GTs. I've gone for all three, obviously.

This tune works on so many variants that I have decided that it probably works on all 9 variants of the Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO SL/R in this game. Goes to show part of PD's failure to notice that we don't want that many in this game. Just get two Premiums in for either and we're done. Yes, they all look different, but really...you could have fooled me.

This is perfect for the character you should, or may have (since I'll definitely get it changed out at some point) seen in my avatar, Ryuuko. You see, because of the complication that is the Japanese alphabet, people like to change her name up using different alphabet types. And that fits the 3000GT/GTO - always having its name changed.

Alas, this isn't as energetic as her, it's still overweight despite all possible effort, and this certainly is not as cute. But not only is it a good drive, in the right colour and very loud, but even in the seemingly old colours you have here this 3000GT here looks good. The overall body shape isn't great, but all the little details, like the lights, vents, spoiler, exhausts, they're all great. Which is why I chose the 3000GT SL '96 over the rest of them. You may wish to try the GTO SR '95 instead, or the 3000GT SR '98, but this is the one I'm having. And I'm not changing it.

I tried this tune on the 'Ring or whatever you call it (nordshief) and wow

Very good handling , I feel segure and I can do the litle chicanes at the begining just accelarating 👍 , very light handling too 👍


I only thingthat it's bodering me is the gear box it's a bit "tiny" (only 245 Km)

Definitly recomended 👍

Thank you !
