RKM Motorsport - Tuned Tuners - May '13

I've been convinced to release one last tune before I take a little tuning break whilst waiting for Spec II to come. So that'll be arriving later this evening. 👍

Also I urge anyone with a tuning request to hold onto it until after Spec II. It's unknown whether Spec II is going to changes anything regarding tuning so I'd rather be safe than sorry and avoid any cars being returned because the Spec I settings don't work with Spec II. Thanks!

whats spec II?

A big update coming later this month. If it's anything like the GT5P Spec II update, we should see new cars, tracks, features and maybe some changes to current content. The changes part is the reason why I'm not releasing anymore tunes after tonight. I don't want more cars to redo than I already have up on the first post.

Tuner Comments:
Dragonthing wanted us to work our magic with her 3000GT.

The 3000GT used to be one of the top dogs of the GT world, fighting with the Skyline’s and Supra’s, but in recent games it seems to have been toned down and turned into a bit of a boat. It’s kind of sad that the 3000GT is actually no faster than an Evo now.

We decided to fix that problem with our tune. The suspension and LSD keep understeer at bay and the transmission lets the motor use it’s power much more effectively. This 3000GT now goes, stops and handles much more like it should’ve done in the first place. Infact it’s so fast now, you’ll find yourself taking corners at speeds that’ll embarrass many sports cars. The only thing we couldn’t do anything about was the weight, but it does mean you can shunt people off the track much easier.

It’s big, it’s yellow and it’ll drive straight through the car in front without feeling a thing. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Big Yellow Penetrator.

Looks like a challenger to my GTFO has approached. Now, I demand a race in it on the Dream Car Championship at Monza :lol: Preferably in the dry. With an XJR9 in the field :P

Little mistake in Torque Dist?

Nope. It has a special RKM part that takes the car's normal torque and adds another 20% to it. So making 120% total! 👍

Just kidding, thanks for noticing. Fixing now. :P

Since it's my car, yes, 35/65 is the correct setting :D Roj must have been distracted...

And who's fault is that eh?
 
Not really in the mood for a review, but I definitely want to say the Corvette ZO6/R tune kicks some serious ass when.it isn't being spun off the road by arrogant, s**t-talking r-tards >_>

I found that, for my (currently 884bhp) car, changing the final drive up to 2.250 is perfect for most circuits, although you can draft to 260+ mph with it at 2.000. So 👍 for making a passionate pink Corvette racer all that more rage-inducing, to the point where SLS Stealth Editions ram you off the track in jealousy :D

:lol: you remind me of this girl I know, great fun to be around. Till you piss her off, then she becomes a lawyer and rips you apart verbally. :scared:

And FYI, I had a maxed out Merc C63 (pre RKM), did 267mph drafting an italia. What happened to the Fezza? Let's just say it didn't look so pretty afterwards.

Lol the Merc wasn't sexy. I made it look as understated as I could, everything looked stock. I even left the carbon bonnet off to avoid having the little pop ups being there. I know it scared a lot of corvettes on SSR7.

I have a SL55 AMG premium just like that, even got stock exhausts...and it still has 750bhp and drafts to 250+ :D

AMG OMG SUPA OVAKILLLLL!!!! :D

I want to try and find my C63's max speed without draft now that I've
A) got a bit more knowledge
B) oil changed it for 40 more hp

I'm expecting numbers in the high 230s/low 240s :D

Edit: Roj,do you like the 2CV? I'm guessing not, but I still want to ask :D

Time for an early morning review! And it's the Corvette C5's turn today. Trial Mountain best lap: 1:36.999 (not trying too hard, only had 2 cups of strong coffee)

So despite being a bit tired after not having much sleep I decided to do what I always do and hop onto GT5, to pick up yet another car I didn't have...the Corvette C5.

And as per usual, after acquiring said Corvette, I wandered on over to RKM's page to tune it up :D

Since I seem to be getting a lot better at it, I decided to use Trial Mountain as a test circuit - the circuit that has a habit of trying to kill bad cars and their drivers. But I was confident; hell, if it's RKM, it's unlikely to strangle me with a seatbelt straight away.

Instantly it became clear I was being too cautious with this car. For it's power, it has great traction through the twisty bits, especially for a Corvette, and seems to be the ZO6/R's little brother. Whilst it isn't 100% happy with the bumpier bits of track it doesn't lose grip and go all axe-wielding psycho on you. And when you inevitably lose the tail end, which you will - not because it's bad, but because it's 500bhp and on road tyres - it is more than happy to hang it out and drift itself back into line, and then the grip is back and good as ever.

So overall it's a 9/10 for some quick and lairy fun without going overboard and getting squished, Christine style, by an 800bhp Corvette. And speaking of Corvettes, this is definitely a 10/10 Chevy :D
 
:lol: Online or offline tests? Because that tune was meant for online, wasn't it? And I don't get how you can see the light in it so quickly yet it takes me the best part of a week to get there :confused: Ah well, I'm not its biggest fan, but I don't mind it now. At least its got some form of character.

Offline, because I'm really not a fan of the physics difference...and it definitely does have character! It had me giggling all the way round just powersliding and chucking it about...

Try it online, you'll see the other side to its character.

I don't think I'm gonna do that, I never actually race online, apart from the occasional SSR7 run or that complete slewage with my ZR1 RM...which by the way definitely deserves a review now I threw it around Trial Mountain Supercar Seasonal, and set a personal record of 1:17.753, which not even my detuned 908 HDi can surpass
