The SRT Viper GTS + T/A 2014 is a little bit quicker than the Stingray Z06 at Big WillowI will post the Viper as soon as it's ready, it has similar spring arrangement to E92 M3 ( real life based ) and drives quite unique compared to most FR muscle.
đź‘Ť Love those cars!!! I'll be looking forward to it!
It has a good handle, the only thing that I was finding strange was a lot of understeer then oversteer.
) - I got a 1:57.932 on a leisurely 2nd lap. What I said on the SSR7 part didn't apply here, it seems the handle was way more exciting. I had to really use the shifter and wheel hard around turns otherwise the Z would of shook me off course . But overally it's a solid handle and is a good setup for racing here I'd say. The transmission being stock must of helped here too.
S30 Fairlady "Akuma" Z - Star Road Garage 300PS - Kaza's G27 review on CS tire.
I have a suggestion firstly, I'd ask for you to add this as an optional on the tune if you want? - I equipted the Inch up +2 GT Ab08 rims in a matte grey with red brakes to give it a more Devil Z look. The colour I used was 'Aegean Blue Pearl' from the Acura CL 3.2 Type-S '03. The GT Ab08's are the closest to the Watanabe 8.
SSR7/Wangan review - I couldn't test much here as of the limiter on speed because of the transmission stock, but getting to use the clutch on my G27 with a replica Devil Z was really fun! I almost felt like Akio when he tested the Z for the first time.

SSR5 Clubman/C1 review - 1:03.992 on the 2nd lap. A great tune here! I tried my best on the second lap, on the first I had a bit of getting used to it as it's very oversteery on CS, but once you know how it handles it's predictable. I had lots of fun blasting around here with the Z! The only bad points is the hard oversteer if you don't know how it handles. Overall another great tune from you again Ridox! I'll try and get some more of the WM tunes reviewed this week too. đź‘Ť
Here are a couple pictures of me having fun in the Z...

I will look into the understeer and oversteer, the setup was made back in early days of GT6. đź‘Ť
Thank you for review and suggestions for the wheel and paint, will add those when I will update the replica again. I have to drive the S30 again, it's been a while
I've been meaning to ask this question for a while... What are Wangan Midnight tunes? Is that a tuning garage or something? Also, I see that the name of this tune is Akuma Z, but KazaMR2 then refers to a "Devil Z look". Is that the same car, but a different color? I apologize, but I'm not really knowledgeable when it comes to tuning companies.S30 Fairlady "Akuma" Z - Star Road Garage 300PS - Kaza's G27 review on CS tire.

. I tried to get the main character's car the 'Devil Z' or 'Akuma no Zetto' look by adding wheels simaler to Watanabe 8 spoke and I found a similar colour to the Devil Z too (and couldn't find the stock colour).
I remember asking @Ridox2JZGTE the exact same question somewhere but had completely forgot what they wereI've been meaning to ask this question for a while... What are Wangan Midnight tunes?

, thanks for doing it again đź‘Ť, I'll try to remember this time. What I'm curious about is how do you make a replica of an animated car? Did they give you enough clues to go on like speed, lap times, engine power , etc to go on?
Oh my gosh...Well, don't I feel stupid!!Wangan Midnight is an Anime/manga series, the tunes are replicas from the show
Wangan Midnight is an Anime series. I can't believe I asked if it was a tuning company. Oh, I am sitting over here laughing at myself. 
Thank you for clearing that up, KazaMR2.

Only nerds and geeks watch them just kidding 
In the manga/comics and anime, most of the cars are described in the story with quite details. The plot has some technical details in tuning and driving, similar to Initial D, but Wangan Midnight dig deeper IMO.
Sorry. What I was trying to say before my phone decided I was done was.Oh my gosh...Well, don't I feel stupid!!
I've hit the 'Like' button only because there isn't a 'Love' button. I've had a C7 Corvette for a while now running 650bhp as a very crude Z06 but it's an absolute lunatic and will suddenly try and kill the virtual me if I get careless for even a second
Now I'll be able to put a decent suspension setup underneath it and probably survive if I push a little harder than cruise speed.
Looks like I might have to run a few laps at the Nordschleife and see what she's got
[EDIT] I managed to do a lap in 7:24:388 so it's not shy.
Be prepared to do a lot of short-shifting from 3rd to 4th gear & don't even think of using full throttle in 2nd gear period or 3rd unless you have her pointed in a straightline! In a word: feisty
Thank you
but I'm sure you could get quicker : ) The C6 ZR1 lap record was 7:19.63 ( likely done on Cup tires ), with the C7 Z06, I think the real car would do 7:15s or less on Z07 package ( Cup 2 tire ).

Big pleasure, excellent car! It's a must for everyone. đź‘Ť
but it's a typo, the Yaris RS TRD Street pack is standard car, while the picture is Vitz F If you don't mind please share it as well on the April car of the month thread Do you like the pink ? I this this car is special when in pink 
Thank youThat's an awesome time, CS or SH ?
đź‘Ť
I can't say I'm a big fan of pink, but it's OK.Do you like the pink ? I this this car is special when in pink
Thank you
I used the Z07 with track settings on SH. Only did 2 laps, a warm up/get to know you lap and then treated it like a real life experience.
If I spent some more time, I could probably get under the C6 time but that would be totally on edge. It's very skittish and doesn't give much warning of an impending departure of grip but that could be the famed Nordschleife bumps trying to spoil my day.
I think I read on MotorTrend, some of the cars when test at Big Willow have their dampers adjusted to better handle the bumps. The problem with the Z06 replica, the damper are already set at the optimum level for traction at Big Willow and Tsukuba, not sure if lowering the rear compression will be good. But I will highly recommend to install flat floor, the real car has stage 3 aero kit fitted ( included in Z07 package ), that adds more downforce. You may need to increase rear compression by 1 or 2, and should have much better rear traction.I can't say I'm a big fan of pink, but it's OK.
Corrected now.the Yaris RS TRD Street pack is standard car, while the picture is Vitz F
Ok thanksA softer damper may be needed at green hell
I painted the Vitz red, then black, then blue then yellow and all of them feels wrong to my eyes, then I tried pink and I like it
Nice car DanUpdated.
and nice win too. A must try you say I'm not painting it pink, sorry, just no.
I've got a nice Lilac to put on it

Anyway back to my reason for being here this time.
Excuse me Mr. @Ridox2JZGTE sir. I have a little technical question. I'm doing a little research for another restoration and I've found the car uses a ZF Limited-slip differential. It's described as a self-locking differential and I can find the locking rate just fine. My question is...To simulate this would I have matching load and pre-load with lower braking? or Would it be locked across all 3 settings at the same values? or would it be something completely different?
The car it was fitted on, the lock rate on both drive and overrun, preload torque if any ?
It was in my intention to start a brainstorming to give this car a deserved color. đź‘ŤI'm not painting it pink, sorry, just no.
I can't say too much about the car sssh, it's a secretThe ZF self locking diff in the early VW and some other european cars have very low preload, they usually operates as open diff, but when high torque load applied, they will start to lock. These self lock diff also usually acts as open diff when on coast/overrun/ braking and the early ones were known as sliding pins and cams diff. Later ZF LSD have more variety in setup, from low to high preload, and locking on both drive/accel and overrun/braking ( characteristics can be tailored using ramp angle, preload and number of clutches )
We need more details on the ZF LSD
other than it is early European and not a VW 
This secret car you speak of; can you hum the national anthem of the country it comes from?I can't say too much about the car sssh, it's a secret
The data I found says it has a locking rate of 45%. With 27.5% of the torque going to one wheel and 72.5% to the other.

27.5% : 72.5% is indeed 45% ( lock ), so if one wheel spinning and only capable to put down 100 lb ft torque, the other wheel can have up to 263 lb ft torque. The TBR is 2.63:1. This is likely for the drive side, rarely factory set up have more than 3:1 TBR on the overrun. I may be right or wrong
I think mine will be black. Will see at home.I'm not painting it pink, sorry, just no.
