A review for the:
After the nice respons on my mx-5 review i decided to do some more reviews, for these 2 awesome Tuners with their awesome Tunes.
(updated the mx-5 review with pictures of my own car)
The Mustang:
This car has many races it can be tested in.
I tested it in the classic muscle car championship,
the muscle car championship, and offcourse the laguna seca 200 miles.
The first feel:
After testing this car i renamed the car to Ford Mach R-itssm.
Ill explain that later when i come to the endurance race of Lacuna Seca.
The Mustang is one of my favorite cars out there. Allways was.
I allready had a Mustang wich i tuned myself. This one wasnt very special while using it. So i bought a new one, to tune it RKM style.
Before i went to the endurance race i wanted to get used to the car so i did both the classic as the normal muscle car championship.
Wooow, what a blast this car is. My first try was at monza, from start to the first corner it was nothing but extreme acceleration and a ******** of smoke.
I had to use very little throttle in the corners to get a nice oversteer. Than when i got control over the car again i could smack the pedal to the metal. And even than loads of smoke behind me. If you start accelerating from below 50kp/h you have one smoke burst till you get above 120kp/h.
I won both championships miles ahead off my oponents. But it doesnt come as easy as it sounds.
Lacuna Seca 200 miles
I menaged to learn how to handle the car, and tought i was ready for this event. I knew it would be harder to win, since there is faster competition than in the other 2 events.
After the countdown i gave full throttle, and even from a rolling start everything behind me turned into smoke. I went all the way, and pushed the car to the max. Every slow corner turns out to be a fast one with this car. And after the 2nd lap i was about 8seconds in front of my oponents.
Than i noticed something bad. When entering lap 3, my tires where almost worn off. So after the end of lap 4 i had to enter the pit (15 seconds ahead) to find i had to change my strategy. When coming out i was about 10 seconds behind #2. So i eased on the throttle but than after another 15 laps i was on the 8th position but couldnt climb up without shredding my tires.
So i went back into the pits and changed to hard sports tires (wich i had bought in case if the car would be shredding the tires completely).
On the hard tires the car just didnt had enough grip to put all the bhp on the track. So after about 35 laps i decided to quit.
The Verdict:
I absolutely loved this car, its extreme hard to handle. And you really have the idea you have to tame this mustang, or you will never be able to control it.
The rename stands for Mustang Mach R-Insane Tire Shredding Smoke Machine. The idea of having a car that produces smoke on about 30% of the average track is awesome. But smoke doesnt come from a smoke machine but from burning/smelting/shredded tires.
So therefor this tune is completely useless for races that let you burn up your tires.
For everything else its awesome.
I played it with a DS3 but i could feel it would be more fitting for a Race Wheel.
Thanks Kyle for making me feel like a rodeo cowboy on this ride.

(can you even improve on what feels like perfection to drive??)
Was that 2.5sec in qualifying? I seem to recall beating you at Trial Mountain as well.
But it's much closer there. I also recall your car being faster off the line when that race started, I don't know if that was just you getting better traction or maybe your car has better acceleration, I would have thought yours would have accelerated faster. And me an alien? Have you forgotten our little slowest fast driver talk?
