Dude, you put a great time down on that 600pp time trial.  It was hard to beat!  I'm still chasing TCmix for the top of my FL, and it's really aggrevating because there are laps when by the time I go under the bridge at Laguna Seca, I can be around .5 seconds ahead and then one corner screws it up.

I'm using a variation of MC Hammy's tune for this car and this track.

I got to 1'17.5xx last night. I'm shooting for something in the 16's to be satisfied. I have been switching tunes (LLOYDZ / MINI_STIGGY / WEIDER) and don't recall which one I set with, but I do like this trans setup.

Your tune is good, just set the rear aero to 500 and use this gearbox: final gear to 3000, top speed minimum, 1st and 2nd gear all to the left, don't tweak the 3rd, 5th and 6th all to the right, tweak 4th in order to make an imaginary diagonal line from 3rd to 6th, set final gear to 2500 or 2600 (at your will), this is what I'm using so far.

I prefer Matterhorn to Latuna Seca and never have been a huge fan of the GT500 cars. But I did reach my target at Matterhorn tonight so maybe I will go back to Latuna and check it out again.

Thanks.  Unfortunately, I think my opp;ortunity to improve my time has passed... oh well!

I'm stupid... that time trial was still up for another week.  I did get time to improve again and beat TC's and your new time, which was really impressive BTW :D

just barely got baked beat on the Matterhorn too.  I used the ZZII because he did, and it was nice not using the same car everyone else used.

I'm not a huge fan of the GT500 cars either.  I mean they're nice and all but nothing I want to spend my money on.  So I used the HSV GT3 with a stock tune (other than transmission).  Seems like the perfect car for that event.

Matterhorn seemed a bit tough with those SH tires.  I used the fat pig of an Aventador  :P

I usually do not make a habit of looking what did everyone use?

Yeah, after I blowed through the first two turns I came to, twice, I said to hell with that one. 600pp on SH tires is just ridiculous.

I thought the tire grade was a little lean for the PP numbers. 

I opted for the rocket.  I thought that going lighter would be better than trying to move and slow a heavy car.  Managed gold after several BAD laps.  Glad that one is over.

Seems the HSV is the go to car in the other event.  I have tried several GT500 cars but I couldn't touch my HSV times.

Yeah it wasn't easy.  I picked the Lambo b/c of it's AWD system.  Still, one hell of a squirrely car under acceleration.
