    Merry Christmas From Tango Tuners!

    UPS Have kindly offered to help deliver our gift, so here it is!

    AWD, A600 997 Turbo, this car is tearing it up on the longer tracks. Tuned for sped with enough grip to hold the track, this car was specifically tuned to compete in a series of Endurance Races I have been entering with a group of friends, with all of us tuning 997 T’s and running a race series.

    So far I have completed 25 laps of OLD LE MANS and won by over 15,000 ft.

    Last night was Road America, 40 laps – I was leading the race and with the fastest laptime of 2.10.389, 15 laps in my ADSL disconnected – The Laptime held out ….

    Even so, this car has proved her worth so I give her to the TM as a Christmas Gift!

    I spent last night creating the custom Paint ( with Liquid out of RROD action ) and based on the UPS Porsche, I am happy with the results!

    SO, Paint and TUNE free on my SF until the New Year!

    LapTimes, most posted in race with no hotlapping!:

    Le Mans OLD: #357 / 24,000+ 3.51.545
    Le Mans La Sarthe #360/ 246,000+ 4.13.965
    Road America ~#600 / 104,000+ 2.10.368
    Sebring Full: ~#2000 / 371,000+ 2.09.813 (2.09.127 with minor warning, not posted )
    Laguna Seca #1905 / 165,000+ 1.29.245 2.16.931
    Sedona Raceway #755 / 316,000+ 2.16.931

  • Porsche, 997 GT2, RWD

    Name: Animal Edition
    Make: Porsche
    Model: 997 GT2
    Drivetrain: RWD
    Class: A
    P.I: 600
    Tune Type: GRIP: DOA KappaTango

    Tango Tuners Present: Porsche 997 GT2 ‘Animal Edition’

    With the Online Domination of AWD, we have been determined to break the trend and deliver an RWD tune that can compete at the highest level.

    This Porsche 997 GT2 has the ability to do that, even matching and in most cases BEATING the AWD competition off the line.

    Hold the car at just over 4000 RPM and on the green, hit the gas – a quick switch up into 2nd and you are away, seeing the likes of the AWD Audi S5’s and Lambo’s appearing in your Rear View Mirror.

    The start is literally only the beginning, with a smooth grip tune allowing you to flow around the corners and enough top end to cope with the longest of straights.

    Evo Tunings  TUR8O SNAIL had this to say about the car “mighty fine car this one Kappa…..i enjoyed going toe to toe with it the other evening. This car took me totally by surprise! sitting at the start line on the front row next to DOA Liquid, me sitting in The Ripper and Liquid sitting in this Porsche…..lights went to green…..I got a pretty decent get-away in the AWD…..but to my pure astonishment, Liquid slowly but surely pulled away from me……..PURE INSANITY from a RWD car! This is a MUST have for anyone looking to break the mould of AWD!!!!”

    As always, I post laptimes – but this is slightly different. I know liquid wont mind me saying he was not a fan of RWD – certainly struggled to deliver his times – but this car has changed that. Liquid has also posted top 1% times across multiple tracks – something I know he never though possible in a RWD tune.

    So, onto the stats:
    TOP 1%

    Le Mans La Sarthe #338/248,000+ 04:13.965
    Le Mants Old Circuit #340/ 23,000+ 03:51.545
    Mugello #1165/171,000+ 01:54.547
    Road America ~#600/100,000+ 02:10.549
    Road Atlanta Full ~#1600 / 176,000+ 01:24.859
    Sebring Full #1586/370,000+ 02:09.782
    Sedona Full #1746 / 307,000+ 02:18.345
    Silverstone GP ~#2400/ 280,000+ 01:54.976
    Sunset Full ~#500/58,000+ 01:30.430
    Motegi Full: 02:00.986

    Other times:

    Catalunya GP: 01:55.174
    Laguna Seca: 01:29.769

    The car will be released on Friday 18th December at 00.01am on DOA KappaTango Storefront.

    TT Win Tuners Shootout!

  • Tango Tuners DOA KappaTango won the 1st FM3 Tuners Shootout. The challenge was to tune an E class car specifically for Catalunya National Circuit, with Dougyt40 to run 5 laps in each car, best posted posted counted. 35 tuners enteredthe competition on th Forza Motorsport.net forums – the results were posted on the 5th December over at www.forzacarreviews.com

    To celebrate winning Dougyt40’s 1st FM shootout, I have provided the winning tune, with its paint FREE on my SF.

    I went for FWD, a decision I did not take lightly as I knew the AWD cars would probably have the edge – but she held out and did me proud.

    I worked hard on the springs, to ensure that the car was easy to drive and allow the driver to get straight into setting laptimes, without needing to “learn” the car too much. FWD mainly suffer off the line, but as this was essentially a hotlap challenge, Lap 1 was not an issue for me in terms of a slow laptime.

    Congratulations to all who entered – the competition was REALLY tough, with a virtual handkerchief covering the top times.

    Hope you enjoy the car!
