Spec Street Tuner
I’m not a negative person, so if there is any criticism it’s not meant to be an insult, and if my time is slower than what you have, then that’s fair enough. These are non bias opinions based on how I drive and should be taken with a grain of salt! I respect and appreciate the time the tuners have put into their tunes and I will try everything I can to get the most out of the tune itself. I ran each car for 2 sets of 10 laps at each track. I will do a post here shortly explaining what I found about tire wear/heating up on both tracks and why it is crucial to run this many consecutive laps.

Took a few laps to get the braking down, but soon became manageable. A little on the snug side through the center; made worse if you clipped a curb with the reduced ride height. And on this track, a lot of speed is lost/gained on the backstretch leading down the hill by “legal” curb clipping.
Drivers Choice Score = 7.0
Tsukuba: 1:05.776
The brakes were perfect from the drop of the flag, but again, the lower ride height hurt the car over the many bumps on this track.

I could not get a handle on this car. It jerked from side to side on almost every turn. I don’t know if it was the AYC or what, but this car did not like me.
Drivers Choice Score = 5.0
Tsukuba: 1:06.140
More of the same, my driving line was constantly interrupted by a side to side motion, killing my lap time.
Drivers Choice Score = 5.5

Grand Valley East: 1:11.189
Very solid tune with excellent traction. Just felt a little sluggish coming out of the turns.
Drivers Choice Score = 8.5
Tsukuba: 1:05.162
Seemed a little tight in the turns. But once the tires started going away by lap 5, the car was fun to drive and the lap times began to drop.
Divers Choice Score = 8.0

Grand Valley East: 1:11.213
A little tight overall, but excellent braking ability. Solid tune.
Drivers Choice Score = 8.0
Tsukuba: 1:05.416
The tightness was still there, but it was safe. After a few laps this car got better.

Grand Valley East: 1:10.822
It’s not the fastest pony in the stable, but you can’t beat the drive with this car. It was amazing, point the nose and the car followed, and stuck! It restored my faith in the Evo, because the Imprezas were killing them on times. And on a side note, shaunm80, you can tune me a car, like that, any day. Great job and one I would recommend for Tune of the Week!
Drivers Choice Score = 10.0
Tsukuba: 1:05.098
This was the case I was talking about when asking about 2 DC scores. With a car that was amazing to drive at GVE, it was like someone flipped a switch. It was extremely tight and took until lap 9 to start to come in, but still respectable when it did.

Grand Valley East: 1:10.742
This car can get away from you under heavy braking, especially on the bend leading up to the first turn. Get some practice with it though, and with its ability to exit well, it turns into one joyful ride. Great job krenkme…Grimace did about kill me the first few laps though!
Drivers Choice Score = 9.0
Tsukuba: 1:05.195
Tight on corner entry, pushed through the center, and was loose on exit. Not a bad tune, I couldn’t find any rhythm with it though. I’m sure other testers will.
Divers Choice Score = 7.5
ABP (+1 Rim)
Grand Valley East: 1:11.919
I struggled getting the car down to the apex of almost every turn, just too tight for me. But the brakes weren’t as bad as you made them out to be, very controlled.
Drivers Choice Score = 7.0
Tsukuba: 1:06.289
The tight condition was more dramatic in the wet. Had to wait for what seemed like an eternity to get back into the gas. Probably a good second on each of the U-bends which hurt my time. I’m hoping someone with more talent than me can get a better time for you.
Divers Choice Score = 6.5
Impreza Sedan WRX STi Version IV ‘97
Dolhaus
Grand Valley East: 1:10.848
This car was squirrely under heavy braking and loved to slide around, but once you got used to it, you can easily throw it around the track. You can tell you lean more on the drifting side of car setups, nice job!
Drivers Choice Score = 9.0
Tsukuba: 1:04.544
Snug on corner exit, but came to be a nice treat when the tires got warmed up.

Grand Valley East: 1:10.750
Once again, my hat is off to you Mr. P. I’ll admit as I was setting up the LSD, I was smiling because it looks like what I throw on all of my 4WD and it didn’t disappoint. It can get loose if you push too hard, but very manageable and fun to drive.
Drivers Choice Score = 9.5
Tsukuba: 1:04.051
That mid level Turbo killed me on this track with my driving setup. I could not get out of the sharp turns fast enough because I couldn’t “hang” the RPMs. I changed my line on the last turn, practically in the sand, but with the RPMs up, it shot me like a cannon heading to the finish line. Wall riding is fun (Yes, I do realize I wasn’t against a wall, but you guys know what I mean!)

Hard to handle on the heavy braking and was a little snug, but once you got used to it and the tires heated up….this car was unstoppable. I was very impressed with this tune.
Drivers Choice Score = 9.5
Tsukuba: 1:04.354
What can I say? This tune was fast on wet or dry. I don’t know where you came from or how long you’ve been tuning… but boys and girls, we’ve got one hell of a contender here. I’m looking forward to more tunes in the future. Awesome job!!!

I felt like this was the most “stable” of the Impreza’s. A little on the tight side, but the best braking of them all. I think I need to view your video and see why my time doesn’t match to how the car felt…5 speed transmission perhaps?
Drivers Choice Score = 8.0
Tsukuba: 1:05.988
Like krenkme’s, this car did not like me. I was struggling with the same tight/push/loose condition on almost every turn. Maybe it was both of you having no spoiler! (I wouldn’t think it would make a difference haha)

Bowtie-muscle (+1 Rim)
Grand Valley East: 1:10.863
With it being snug on entry through the center, I struggled getting the car down to the apex a lot of the time, and when I pushed too hard, I was roasting the outside front tire throughout the turns, especially on acceleration. Still a solid tune though.
Drivers Choice Score = 8.0
Tsukuba: 1:04.483
The tight on exit was more noticeable, but once the tires got heated up, I loved this car. You can’t be too far off with the tight condition because I was hitting the fastest times by lap 3 on every set.

It was too tight for me from the center of the corner through exit. If you pushed harder, the car would push you back. But not a terrible tune.

I’m calling this car Donald Duck, because as soon as its feet hit the water, it was a different animal. I will be watching the times of the other testers for this car because I think it can go faster, but I was never able to get it to take the right turn before the Dunlop Tire bridge. Not sure if you spent more time testing in the wet, but I had a blast driving it!
Divers Choice Score = 9.0
The tune is made to be close to how a WRX would drive in the rain, it can push and it can slide 
The real car it was based on originally has understeer when driven by pro driver in Best Motoring video at Tsukuba ( dry ), it was fitted with street tires and managed 1:03s - very quick IRL - similar to Ferrari F40 Tsukuba record, but in GT6 the Rex FITT version can get close to the time in the wet with only 315HP, the replica has 339PS / 334HP.
