With the seasonal races set to expire later this week, I decided to give the 500pp at Deep Forest reverse one last push to gain credits and try out a few new cars. I had a few cars in my garage that needed tuning desperately from back before I knew about this forum.
BMW 135i Coupe '07 (500PP SH)
Another BMW, another fine tune. Easy win, and consistent lap times. This made me think of the Top Gear episode where the Stig takes out the 1M and mows the lawn with it in one of the outtakes. I did the same thing on the last turn of my first lap. I got better though.
Callaway C12 ‘03 (500PP SH)
Good performer and a good looking car too, considering it's based off the ugliest of Corvettes, the C5.
Chevrolet Camaro SS '10 (500PP SS)
All I can say is "wow". This is one hell of a car and tune. I'm not even a big Camaro fan, but as I mentioned earlier in my muscle car write up, the '69 Z28 was the leader of the pack by a long shot and once again the Camaro takes the lead. I haven't been keeping the best of records, but I'm pretty sure this car got me my fastest lap out of any of the cars I've tested. Of course I'm getting more and more familiar with the track so I may need to go back and revisit some of my old favorites (RX-8, M4, M3, Evora) but I don't think it takes anything away from the results I've had with this Camaro.
Ferrari 512BB '76 (499PP SH)
This was one of the earliest cars I bought because it allowed me to complete so many races in career mode. I never could trust it completely and I always had to rely on its speed in the straights to win me races. Once I applied this tune, I finally got a car I could trust and get good lap times.
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Coupe Dynamic '13 (500PP SH)
I took this one out as a bit of a joke. Joke was on me, it's a great performer. No trouble get it to rotate despite it being a bit heavy and 4WD. Also by virtue of it being 4WD it's more forgiving of poor throttle control.
