Huh...?
And SVX is only 9, so he is a child. You don't sound so mature either, TBH.

Luke (MinoltaMan89) is right. This thread shall be closed. I'm going to report it to a moderator.
If any moderator is seeing this, refrain from closing the thread. I will go back to business again. 👍
Thanks for the compliment, KidrauhlM5, and mazdaman, you can get those rims at the used wheel lot. 👍

Welcome back, Lucas.

Yep, I have decided to be a loner... Only jokeing! As Lucas and Nenad started wanting to pursue private interests, I was also yearning for more freedom. My new, improved AMMT will reflect that, and hopefully raise my reputation back to a respectable level (because I guess my tunes were not what you could call community favourites). Glad to see you back in business of your own Lucas!

Thank you very much, guys. 👍 Couldn't upload any more tunes yesterday because I wasn't at home at all after I posted the Commodore tune. 
senamic is absolutely right, and I believe that it is better for us to do what we think works best for our individual garages, without nobody telling you what you should/should not do. Freedom is something I believe everyone wants when you are working but you are not getting paid. Anyways, I will be uploading tunes today, if I don't fall sleep on my keyboard that is: woke up yesterday at 6:30am, slept two hours today from 3:00am to 5:00am and I'm planning to stay awake until 10:00pm . If it wasn't for those two hours, then by the time I go to bed I would have been awake for 39 hours straight.
Tunes list will be separated in old tunes (before "closing") and new tunes (after reopening). Just because I don't feel like updating the old tunes with the new layout.

Remember when your father told you "start in first gear. That's why it's there for"? Don't think of doing that when starting this car. Ever. You better start off from second gear, but even then you still won't be able to apply full throttle without spinning the rear tires. You should never go lower than second gear, in fact, you should barely use second gear. Throttle control is a must, otherwise, you will find yourself spinning the tires at corners when driving on second gear, and since you can't resort to drive every corner in third, you should learn to control your right foot. With that said, have fun!

Awesome, isn't? With 409 horsepower, it sure is. Fasten your seatbelt, good sir. This is a ride you won't forget.
A word of advice, though: if you keep your foot on the throttle for too long on lower gears, the car will experience throttle oversteer. It comes in handy in some situations, in others, it doesn't.

Brakes? You will need parachutes to stop this car before it hits the wall. Oversteer is something every RR car experiences, so learning how to use it to your advantage is very important, especially in this car. Otherwise, it won't get you far in terms of laptimes. Those who do not take risks do not win. Think about that when driving, and do your best. If you crash, don't worry: dying has never been so fun.

Ah, a RUF BTR.. I know exactly what you mean with the handling and brakes.. It would be interesting to compare this to my "Blackbird".

I decided to go for S3 tires just for the sake of having fun. But seriously, this thing has me 
whenever I approach the first corner of the GVS. I tried a different setting, with more stability, but it seemed that the car was more prone to go off-track. Since I had the setup above already tested with a fast time, I decided to post this one. 👍 Comparing the two setups would be interesting, but since mine uses S3 tires it can get a little complicated.
I'm thinking of changing the wheels and spoiler to make it look more like a Rauh Welt Porsche, which was the car I originally based it on.
EDIT: Now looking better than before. 👍

Well, I am updating my RUF soonish, as soon as Grey has had a chance to test it to see if it really is faster than the old one.. ( should be, even I beat the cars official laptime with a comfortable margin)

Argentune Clio 300 '10
296HP, 354NM, 1134kg
The Clio. Already nice hatchback to nip down to the shops in. Just when you thought Renault had completely forgotten about there high performance past, along comes the Clio V6. A Clio with an amazing twist. A engine in the middle. All done, everyone thought. Nobody told Renault about that though, then releasing the Phase 2. That wasn't enough for Argentune, though.
For Matej's Gran Turismo 4 Hot Hatch Series I chose one of my favourite cars for the job. The Renault Clio V6 Phase II. It didn't start off amazingly well as I'd thought it would, starting with Autumn Ring. I tried the best I could to fix it's problems with the stableness. None worked (much).
I then turned to the wonderful GT4 tuning community, and got greeted with this. It basically was the perfect specifications I had chosen, except my car producing 14 HP more than Argentune's car.
And what a great decision choosing this car was. The car still liked to slide, but it was completely controllable. Coming off the first corner of the first corner of Autumn Ring Reverse and into the second one is much improved. You can actually control it now!
After doing the rest of Series 1, which glided smoothly, except for one near spin out at Deep Forest, I decided to try Trial Mountain. The car is basically perfect there.
Then I tried the one, the only, Nurburgring Nordschleife. Sadly, this car doesn't suit it. It could be that the track isn't wide enough, The car is too stiff. That is perfectly fine by me though, as this is one great setup.
Thanks for a lovely tune, Lucas!
I give this 8/10.
