So I've looked around at the tuner list and maybe there are a few underground tuners or something. Some smaller rising tuners that look like they have promise aren't getting back to me on if they can tune my cars or not. So I will take it for face value and say they can. I had another bigger tuner give me a tune for my ZR1 Non-RM and to be honest it was better but still has plenty of oversteer that made me never want to drive Cote D'Azur again. My thing is I have a Corvette Z06 C2, Challenger RM and 69 Camaro RM for the vintage trans am online, and I would really like a car that doesn't have massive oversteer. So my question is...is there any tuner out there that can set me up with a great tune? I need not an average tune but one for my race style it seems and since I'm not too good at tunning yet I need some help.
 
Also I will give me driving style if that helps make it easier for anyone wishing to help me tune. I haven't seen too many tunes on the vette but I hope to see someone help or try taking up the challenge of it.
 
Straight off the top of my head, the only thing I can suggest is using the growing evidence HERE, ride height effects are reversed.

I've somewhat confirmed this with some BMW builds I have. I build them with positive understeer, I like it that way. However I can change the balance between under and over steer by adjusting the rear ride height. If I want more oversteer, I lower it, more understeer, raise it. *

Take some of the builds you've already tried and raise the rear ride height, see if that tames the oversteer sufficiently for you. I know the real world effect of doing this is opposite, just go with it. You don't need to make drastic changes to see large differences either.

Also, try to find builds that have a heavy bias toward the rear. The harder the rear the more understeer, which again might suit your style.

Thanks for your help, but the oversteer in the RM cars is quite asinine. The Challenger doesn't even attempt to turn, the camaro is better about this. I have the same problem with the Z06 '63 it goes straight almost when turning. I wish they had more understeer at least that way I could slightly powerslide myself out of trouble instead of overbreaking or early breaking. I like to drive my car hard into the corners and steady through the middle so I can power out of the turn.
 
You're confusing understeer and oversteer.

Understeer is when the front pushes wide in the corner.

Oversteer is when the rear slides wide in the corner.

What you're describing is understeer, not oversteer!

You're confusing what he's saying.

He's saying he would rather have the car understeer, so that he can just throttle the car into an oversteer situation to compensate, rather than oversteer throughout the entire corner.

My recommendation, is kill your LSD to 5/5/5 and go from there.
 
Whut he said ^^

OP wants understeer, I build my cars to understeer. Raising the rear end of a car in this game appears to generate understeer (the opposite of what conventional physics dictates)...

OP saying he likes cars that turn hard (ie; have no understeer).

I have been tuning muscle cars for the seasonals. Go try some of my tunes - see sig line below. Turn the power restrictions back to 100%. Take one for a drive and post in my garage what the car is doing and I will tell you the adjustments that I would make to have it match your driving style.

I will need descriptions for a few things:
1. Behavior under braking - stable, loose, impossible to keep straight, front lock up, etc.
2. How is it from turn in to apex - push, oversteer, any red tires?
3. How does it act mid corner for a longer, sweeping corner?
4. From apex or coming back to throttle, what is the car doing - oversteer, understeer, etc.

Happy to help.

Also working through my muscle cars. Tuned the '54 Vette just for fun. Need to post. Have the C2 RM Z06 on my short list. Maybe I'll do that one next.
 
PM me with the cars you want tuned and I'll offer my setups for you. But, everyone likes the car set up differently. I like mine where I can throttle oversteer when I want it. Not enough to spin, but enough to break the rear loose.
 
Actually to be honest Adrenaline got it right on the head. He just described my driving style easily, wow! Well thanks Adrenaline.
 
If you're racing in the Trans-Am series just ask the experts, Kal or Skeletor. I don't know of anyone who a) is faster in those cars or b) has a better tuning set-up. I tried Kal's RM Camaro set (he's posted a thread about it on here somewhere, so looking it up is a good idea) and I got my times down to 1:11's on Deep Forest just for a good reference point. Otherwise 200MphFord and I have been working on the Cobra for a good while and have a set that can be taken with capable hands into the low 1:11's (my personal best is a 1:12.2, with time to pick up all over) so check the link in my signature for that.
