Tango Tuners Present: The OUTLAW

This RWD NO Aero Ford GT drives like  a dream – with handling more akin to an AWD car, this tune is a great one to pull out in the Online Lobbies.

Competitive in the Standard open drivetrain online and a beast in the new RWD hoppers.

I have run many top 1% times in online testing – the best of which is a 1.30.322 on Sunset Full – beating any time I can lay down in the PORSCHE Animal and placing me at ~800 on the LB with over 85,000 times posted.

Road America is getting a 2.10.512 time – I have a .200 faster time – but that is in an AWD Nissan GT-R!

Sebring Full is a top 1% 02:08.90, placing top 1,500 out of 506,000+ times posted

Silverstone GP is 01:54.85, although I never seem to get a REALLY fast time on that track – still top 1%

If you liked the Animal Porsche, you will Love The Outlaw!

A cracking paint by Liquid Design gives this car a menacing character too – the knowing eyes of the Outlaw stare down the opponent, putting fear in their bellies.

Just 10 k for the paint and 10k for the tune, this is a must have addition to your collection.

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!

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

Tango Tuners Present: <Mechanoid>

When the car left the paintshop, she was pristine – then something awoke from within. The first run around Suzuka for photo’s was going well and then it happened.

A deep growl from somewhere under the hood, suddenly the power transformed and the burst of speed threw The Driver back into his seat. The approach to the first corner was terrifying – surely there was no way that this Transformed Beast would stick.

The machine was taking control, but The Driver was not going to let this beast run wild. With confidence and leadership, The Driver took over and the results were incredible. Pure Power in perfect harmony with Raw Machine creating a dream partnership.

The lap was finished. Mentally worn, but full of adrenaline, The Driver emerged from the cockpit to analyse the Damage – the Mechanoid had burst from within, tearing the paint from its shell.

The Beast had become one with the Machine, the Mutant was born. With the release so close, there was no time to repair – The Mechanoid was born.

This B500 Alfa Brera is a beautiful Grip tune from Tango Tuners.

A debut Build from DOA CobyDog, this car was then fine tuned by DOA KappaTango.  I am running primarily wins online in Muliplayer B class Hoppers, and posting top 1% leaderboard times along the way:

1.00.641 Mugello Club

1.35.211 Maple Valley Full

The car has again been painted by DOA Liquid, with an incedible Bursting Effect on the Hood – The Mutant is really trying to get out!

This is more than just a Novelty tune – this has become my B class car of choice on over 7 tracks.

SabreTooth is a B500 Porsche Cayenne. Grip Tuned and Destroying many online competitors with its control, high speed and incredible grip.

I have never felt like this car will flip – ok, one occasion, but I should never have taken him around Maple Valley -but this car breeds such confidence that you forget you are driving an SUV.

Tango Tuners Present: Soul Of the Samurai

Tango Tuners are proud to Present Soul Of the Samurai. An A Class Nissan 370Z.

This stunning car has been beautifully painted by DOA Liquid, truely complimenting the Tune which lies within.

Beauty. Power. Balance and Control, all blended together to create a smooth grip tune to cut through the opposition.

Designed to compete at the highest level and with Audi domination in mind, the Samurai sports a AWD swap, but retains its smooth lines by being free of a Rear wing. Grip tuned, but with enough “feel” in the car to really push it to the limits, the Samurai will make you the envy of the lobby for both Tune and Paint.

The lb times are also testament to its control, with all posted during ONLINE Multiplayer games and all below are Top 1%, posted by DOA KappaTango:

Tango Tuners Present:  The Iberian Project, FREE TUNE

Welcome to the release of the TangoTuners Iberian Project.

I wanted to create a single car whihc would perform on all ribbons of the Iberian Circuit.  With the Full track running pretty fast, down to the Mini circuit being a twisty challenge, I figured the task was worth taking on.

As this was just a project for my own satisfaction, I never invisiged selling the car, so I am offering it on my SF as a Free Tune and Paint.  The car sports a Track outline of Iberian International Circuit.

So, here are the Stats

Full:  56.488 #41 / 89,000+
Short: 45.145 # 35 / 36,000+
Mini: 32.849 #44 / 30,000+
Full Reverse: 56.483 #20 / 19,000+

I am yet to race the last 2 mini and short reverse, but will do tonight. Performance on the first 4 ribbons assure me It will do well.

I haven’t yet tried the car on any other Circuit, so it may well perform outside of the Iberian Borders!  I will again run some laps once I have tested on the remaining Reverse Ribbons.

Car will be available from tonight on my SF, keywords: Tango, Tuners, Iberian, Project, KappaTango, Free Tune

Feedback very welcome.

All Pics from Multiplayer B Class Hoppers

Tango Tuners have been working on this car for some time, and Friday night the job was completed.  We hit the MP lobbies to celebrate the B class Hoppers and were impressed from the get go.

PzR mushman: My money is on the Merc 63 AMG! But not in B class cuz they were well beaten last night in multi

PzR Mushman was in the first lobby we played, and Mugello was the track.  From the off we stormed into the lead, with me holding first place until the off camber turn onto the Back section of the circuit – and I rolled.

Dissappointed, but not disheartened, I got back up and hit the road – I managed to get back up into 4th place AND took 2nd fastest lap of the lobby.  I knew some more work had to be done, and it was the first Time I had run the car around Mugello.

I know the PzR guys are fast, and this project was never to create a LB car, but a competitive one – that said, the stats below prove this already is a TOP 1% tune.

The rest of the night was a different story, and with fine tuned Suspension and Gearing, The victories were coming one after another. Tsukuba, Iberian Full, Twin Motegi, Road America, Laguna Seca.

Beating all car types, including Scoobies, Evo’s, Audis Porsche and Ferrari. All tuned to top of class as well, with driver levels no lower than 22 and as High as 35.

OK. MP was a blast – the reaction from the lobby players when they get beaten by a GRIP tuned SUV is immense.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to very slighty adjust your lines when the higher rumbles  are involved, but this is VERY minor and did not affect my online performace.  I reccommend you run the car a few laps around, say Iberian, to get the feel – just because of the weight of the car. Despite the TUNE, it is still and SUV [:)]

Everyone who has driven gets faster each lap as you realise the Grip this car has – and it is the FASTEST B CLass I have seen off the line.
