This is the finished paint for the GranTurismo you'll be working on (took me 2 days) You can't see it very well, but the blue squares on the rear bumper and near the real wheels say "Tuned by hbme":

Wow, looks great so far. I'm actually having a very difficult time with this car. It's handling can only max out at 6.1, and although its speed stats look good, it can only top out at around 200.0 with max hp. I couldn't control the oversteer at all last night. I'm starting to get closer now though.

I knew this car would be a challenge...as far as the "looks great so far" statement LOL...this car is VERY close to how the actual MCGT4 race car looks...there are a few different versions, but essentially they kept it pretty clean and classy looking...if you look at the build I sent you though in order to keep it an S998, I had to use Firestones rather than Pirelli's...that might be part of the issue though for handling. See if you can tweak the parts around (keeping it S998 though) if you haven't already.

 

Thanks for the effort so far!

Score one for hbme...Boom Tunes get's it's first review on this tune!

 

"First off, the paint is stunning! The posted pictures do this paint job no justice. In the game the paint looks amazing. The first track I took it to was Sebring. Off the line I already had the gas at the Rev-limiter and there was no wheel spin at all. The car has instant traction without TCS. My initial thoughts on driving this car was that I would have to man-handle it to keep it on the track but I was DEAD wrong. Stable, predictable and smooth are the 3 best words I could use to describe this Maserati. Excellent tune for an excellent paint job. I highly recommend picking this car up."

 

Keep up the good work hb...and I agree with what this person wrote!
