Imprezzive. Most Imprezzive. But not a Jedi yet...

This is the first time I've tuned something and can say 100% I have not got it quite the way I want it. It will run very consistently up until you get lazy. Should be a good compromise between easy to use and fast.

Tuned for the Japanese Auto Celebration shootout @ GTPlanet.

When speaking classics it is tough to beat good ol' US muscle for both power and aggressive looks. While the Corvette of this era was not the supercar it has evolved into today it is still the quintessential American classic. Bright color, timeless shape, droptop, just enough chrome...what more do you need? Take the Yellow Jacket for a spin and enjoy the ride; it can handle the twists and turns as well as it handles the concourse.

You want a Grand Tourer? Have at it. Meet the Solar Flare. Want style? Ferrari. Convertible. 'Nuff said. Want performance too? Put the top up and go as fast as you want. Forward or sideways it will keep up. Hell, try backwards too if you want. Just keep your right foot smooth. You'll get burned if you don't.

And there we have it. Born from insanity and sleepless nights...and Lamborghini had something to do with it somewhere too. Something about engineering a car? Well, whatever it was, this is my version tuned for the combined road course/speedway 600PP Indy Shootout.

As a first leap into tuning I'm feeling alright. I can turn the speedway in mid-50s and consistently under 1'29 on the road course. As long as it is a decent drive and consistent, I'll be happy with the outcome.

No real driving notes. I tuned this using only ABS 1 on a DS3 so if you use a wheel you may have a slightly different experience. I appreciate any input folks may have that would be constructive and helpful, if you can make it out of the car alive.
