Time to show some love to the supercars of our youth! (well, some of us at least).  Posters of several of these cars lined my bedroom walls as a child, and I doubt I was the only one.  Heck, some of these currently adorn the walls of my garage

It's time to pick a side.  Are you team Lamborghini?  Or team Ferrari?  In this unique series you will be driving 2 cars from the manufacturer of your choosing. The series will consist of 6 races, and each car must be driven 3 times.  Additionally, in each race you must make a tire compound change.  Furthermore, the tire compound requirements will vary between the two "divisions" of cars.  In another twist, each of the slower division cars must remain 100% stock.  And finally, for the faster division cars suspension and transmission tuning is allowed.

Lamborhoid unforeseen issues notwithstanding

[Wolfpack987]

It will be a Wednesday series, with the same time of night (930) as I usually hold it.  I would like to start the series around the end of August / beginning of September.

That sounds good.

[Wolfpack987]

I very well may stick to that day Dude, but I'd like to gauge interest in holding this on Mondays.

Also pick a number when you get a chance

Mondays would be fine too. My number is always 42. 

Also, did you ever find a nice posted tune for the F40 as a starting point?

[Wolfpack987]

I did!  And will post it up here in a few.

[TunaPhreak]

If this lands on mondays, I'm in for #3 Lambo's.  If wednesday I'll have to pass on the series unfortunately.

[nosoks]

mine are all #67 in Imperial Green Metallic

Link to tune:  http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/difficult-car-ferrari-f40.310621/  (this tune is the 2nd post)


I only used this tune as a basis for my own tuning.  The LSD settings above are a bit ridiculous and not beneficial.

[DudeTuna]

Thanks for the link, there are quite a few tuner's tunes in there. With possibly more to follow. 

[Wolfpack987]

Haha, yeah there are a TON over there!  I actually tried several others before that one.  Hated them all too.
