Hello everyone and welcome to my latest review. If you remember my last review was of a FWD car well this time the power goes to the back wheels as I size up Tweaky’s latest offering, a c class Acura NSX.
This is my first ever RWD review and I will admit I’m not the best RWD driver so take my remarks with a pinch of salt and any advice on how to drive RWD is appreciated.
None the less I’ve loved all the Tweaky cars I’ve had in FM3 so let’s see if this keeps the trend going on bring it to a sudden stop…
Handling
Ok well after spending about 5 minutes deciding what event to run I chose the Acura owners meeting, original I know. The car had four tracks to impress me on and show me how to drive RWD. Now before people moan about the tracks here please note this is a handling section and please see my new section after the speed part.
First up is Motegi West. I seem to be running this track a lot now yet still cant get the last few bends right. Well the car is incredibly well balanced and carries great speed through and out of every turn. Being a RWD novice I put to much power down out of the last turn and spun it ruining my best lap. However my fastest lap of 41.117 would be good for 680th on the leaderboards. Compared to the Gearbox Clio this was .6 of a second faster.
Next up is another small track in the shape of Tsubuka short. To make this worthwhile I put traction control back on and set off on this tight twisty track. Obviously this was completely the wrong track for this car but still a Pb with a lap of 46.367 to put me 3,214th. Nothing to shout off the rooftops but still a Pb is a Pb.
Ok the third track is Iberian full reverse. Better for this car, due to its flowing bends and little need to use the brakes. I loved driving this car and was able to push it as hard as some AWD cars I’ve driven of late. The car was incredibly stable even with my driving style and it just got quicker each lap. The end result was my second Pb with a lap of 57.064.
Last up was unfortunately another smaller track in the form of Maple valley short reverse. A track I know well. The car took the bends very well and again the corner speed impressed me. The car was slightly twitchy under braking but that could be down to me and my driving style. I set my third Pb of the review with a lap time of 42.500 which put me 666th on the leaderboards.
The car had impressed me on the smaller tracks and the smaller medium length tracks so far so good.
Speed
The car is able to carry an impressive amount of speed through the turns and this helps going onto the straights. It hits a very good speed on the small straights I had tested it on and is solid whilst doing them. On the longer straights it’s very good and left me very happy (see my online section below)
*New section* Online
I’ve had requests to add this in on my reviews. I braved the online hoppers (went for the proper ones to test out against the AWD brigade). First up was Road Atlanta full. My favourite track so I should be able to push the car to its max. In my lobby of 6 I was surrounded by 3 Celica’s, 1 mk2 golf and a Subaru impreza 04. This should be fun were my thoughts on the loading screen. Well after 4 laps of hard racing I came 3rd beating two of the Celica’s and the Golf. The car was very good and managed to eat up the ground on what was a badly tuned Celica.
Next up was Catalunya Grand prix this time I was faced with 4 Celica’s and the impreza. After being taken off on turn one by a Celica I battled my way up to a creditable 3rd again. I then got kicked from this lobby and decided that I had formed a good enough opinion on this car to review it.
Looks
It’s a replica paint that I personally like. However as it is with replicas I can see why people might not like it. The logos are well done and in picture mode this car looks very nice.
It’s another well done Tweaky paint in my opinion and I think they do some of the best replicas around the TM.
Overall
Overall I love this car. The tune is solid and the car is just so stable around whatever track I put it on. It another great Tweaky tune and I would go as far to say that it is one of the best tunes I’ve driven so far on FM3 its honestly that good so well done.
To summarise this car is a must have so go buy. NOW!
