Request: SL65 Tuning

I was wondering if anyone had any decent setting for Mercedes SL65. I have fully customizable everything, brake controller, a stage 3 turbo, etc. During braking the tires will not stop slipping and I just cant get it to turn the way it should. Its a sweet car and I was hoping it could perform a little better. Any ideas would be great. Thanks

That car is real front heavy. Put some weight in the back. Also reduce its weight as much as possible (the car is almost 2000kg).

Also decrease the Rear Camber a bit. That will slow the car's dive toward the front during braking.
 
try this, i posted these settings in a similar post earlier.

i have stage 2 engine parts with a full racing suspension.

13.4--14.4
93---95
6--7
7--8
3.1---.05
-1---2
5---6 (in order as they appear in the settings screen)

custom limited slip:
10
40
20
weight balance:
15
15
driving aids off. (you can punch up the understeer up if you want)

with this set-up this car will want to slide all over the place but plow in some cases unless you put on a set of racing soft tires (R4)
with these tires the car grips like no other an hardly understeers with the right technique. i like grip with some over steer so i looked around for drift settings for this car as well as grippy settings for similar cars. have fun.

Please don't take this the wrong way, as I'm not being a dick, but...what? Put weight in the back, and also reduce weight as much as possible?

I've noticed alot of tuners on here like to toss ballast on the vehicle to get 50/50 weight distribution. Okay, fine...but has anyone actually tested to see whether or not the improved weight distribution is actually more beneficial to the car's performance, since you're adding weight?

I don't know... I'm by no means a GT4 tuning expert, but that seems like lazily tossing a crap bandage on a sucking chest wound. I have some insanely well-handling cars (for my personal driving style), and for none of them did I think, "Hmm... I need more weight."
 
This works for me:

SR: 12.5/14
RH: 83/87
SB: 5/6
SR: 4/6
C: 2.2/1.0
T: 0/0
S: 5/5
BB: 12/10
(Add a wing and max the downforce front and rear.)
LSDI: 10
LSDA: 40
LSDD: 25
ASM: 0/0
TCM: 5

721 HP, all drivetrain, chassis, and lightening mods. Don't forget R2, R3, and R4 tires for the Mercedes one-make events. You'll win the Silver Arrow event easily with this setup, which gets you the CLK Touring Car, which you can use to repeatedly B-Spec spam the German Touring Car Meisterschaft event (European Events) and sell the prize car again and again for huge bucks.

I use the old "Tranny Trick" from GT3 to set up my gears: Run the final drive to the highest (5.000), then slide Autoset full right, then slide it back full left to 1. Now set the final drive to the correct one for each track. This gives you an extremely close set of gears. (I think my Nurburgring final drive was 4.00.)
 
Duende,

this improves the weight transfer during breaking and cornering. because the car is front heavy, the added weight in the rear prevents the car from nose diving while breaking and preventing front end plow (understeer) while cornering. its not like you're adding what you took off already, you are simply distributing the car's weight in a better way. i hope that helps some.
