Gran Turismo 7 - Taming A Monster - Shelby Cobra

[@AlexanTheMan]

The origin of the American obsession with outfitting a building-sized engine into a sandwagon.

[@mrspandel5737]

Believe it or not the idea was invented by the british. Allard was making a range of sports and race cars powered by Ford, Cadillac or Chrysler V8s in the late 40s and early 50s. And even before that in the 1930s there was stuff like the Railton which had 8 cylinder Hudson engines.

[@Vergil20000]

Americans love big cc cross-plane crank engines. They love torque and so do we. ❤

[@fossilfueled27]

To be fair though - who doesn't love a 900kg shoebox with a 7 litre V8?

[@SunTingWong]

@@mrspandel5737Because it wasn’t… Americans put American V8’s in British cars. In America 😂

[@Ominous3102]

Really love watching these and chuckling to the occational faint road rage :D

[@jayhenry5733]

I am so stoked you did this. I used this series to try to get me the basics of how I tried to take this car. Haven’t made it through the video or compared my setup yet, but super excited to “compare notes”

[@fossilfueled27]

Let me know how it compares :)

[@malcolmkeeler4120]

Glad to blow the dust off. I thought it was only good for popping wheelies. I did one of my best times on Sarth. Was able to recover from my heavy foot. Just posted a livery that gives you credit for saving a monster.

[@kspectre21]

Despite the 427 being the big boy Cobra I've always liked the smaller 289 more, especially in its hardtop Competition form.

[@fossilfueled27]

The hardtop does look amazing. In my ideal world I'd have the hardtop, with the chrome grill, but the 427 arch/fender flares.

[@kspectre21]

@fossilfueled27 yea the wide arches really make the car look so much better. The lower spec models kinda naked without them unless painted over with a livery. Some aftermarket companies have built a detachable Fastback Style hardtop for 427 kits which looks absolutely gorgeous. It just flows so much better than the factory hardtops installed to the aforementioned 289 Competition models.

A 900BHP pack of biscuits!

[@bish5196]

Ive already asked it but id love to see the tvr, car is quite unruly, took me some time to tune

[@fossilfueled27]

It'll be coming soon, just not sure when. Ford Sierra's next, possibly Testarossa after that.

[@EeroSoralahti]

Thanks for this tune; this is one of my favorite cars, and will definitely try this as you've ended up with a very different tune than I. Anyway: to complement the table where you compare the tunes to previous cars, would it be possible to add a time vs. PP-rating - scatterplot graph? This would help see which cars stand out as fast/slow compared to their ratings.

[@IacobucciB]

Could I request a video on the C7 ZR-1? The straight line speed is incredible, but the handling out of the box is atrocious. Stiffening everything helps a bit, but even with all aero bits, it is a twitchy mess that loves to oversteer at scary speeds. It’s a polar opposite to the C6, which handles great with a little ride height adjustment and the usual stiffening.

[@fossilfueled27]

Weirdly I found the C7 to be one of the best. I may cover it, but it'll probably be a while, since there are other cars (mainly engine swaps) that're getting more requests.

[@ramadhanisme7]

E30 v8 will be interesting since many did this also in real life despite with different engine

[@jayhenry5733]

Had the following: Height 100 front/105 rear Anti roll 6/6 Compression 35/35 Expansion 45/45 Natural frequency 3.05/3.30 Camber 2.0/2.0 Toe 0.01 out/0.12 in Initial torque 5 Acceleration sensitivity 8 Braking sensitivity 8 Downforce 0/200 No ecu nerf No ballast No power restriction Top speed 180 Gears 84/151/226/298/370 Final 2.666 Brake controller +5

[@jayhenry5733]

Hands down it’s not even close. I was driving around my cars flaws previously but now with your tune I’m actually enjoy driving this car.

[@Borlacyu]

If it is my comment that give you the idea so thx for doing it

[@Jj6721-lt3sq]

Dope video🔥 would you mind taking a look at the RE Amemiya rx7 please? Not necessarily a monster, but I struggle badly to make that car even remotely competitive when do custom races.

[@hopewilliams6705]

Good God your going to burn for that Wing! Lol

[@fossilfueled27]

You should see how my Aston Martin DB5 looks 🤣

[@hopewilliams6705]

@fossilfueled27 LoL that's funny

[@ScottMansfield]

That's one sexy looking car, lets face it. Nice livery too.

[@FurkanCemTurfanda]

You should do tunes on sports tires and racing hards.

[@MiguelReyes-cq4wb]

Could you possibly do the newest R8 with it’s crazy snap oversteer when breaking

[@SirCliamain]

Dear God. Thank you for saying that about how the game rates pp.

[@myra32_]

Do the Z28 Please it has crazy torque

[@thiccramen6543]

Plans on BMW E30 Suzuki V8 swap tune?

[@fossilfueled27]

I'll be covering most of the swaps sooner or later. Anything that gets more mentions in the comments will probably be covered sooner. So at the moment my most requested cars are: Ford Sierra Ferrari Testarossa E30 V8 swap Viper Chiron Swap '69 Camaro

[@thiccramen6543]

awesome thanks man keep up the good work and the 190E tune kinda works on the E30 lol

[@edmundfung]

It’s criminal how bad they made it sound with the race exhaust

[@runoutman]

A spoiler? I’m crushed

[@fossilfueled27]

Unfortunately it needs it. If there was a more subtle ducktail option, I would have picked that.

[@hoekie1980]

👍

[@Celominho]

I already lost count of the pit maneuver the bots performed against me, it usually happens in the Sardegna race right in the middle, lost a few hours of the grind like that

[@SwordManiac84]

TRY THE CORVETTE C2 swap.!!!!

[@raymondkoledoye9941]

I think you the cars that you modified tuned become hard to drive or nearly undriveable i dont like it.
