Not trying to be a prick but:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...ning-guide-brought-to-you-by-teamjdmt.307049/
Either find it yourself, or do it yourself.
And use proper grammar here, or mods might get picky.
And, a Tune won't make you a drift pro, a tune will just make it better for your style of drifting and what you want it to do, keep this in mind.

Cool. I'm no expert but I can manage, and I'm on DS3 also. I ask because just yesterday, I used the GTO after a long time on the garage colecting dust. It's a very understeery car (the weight distribution is losy), but can be fun to drive and is reasonably fast. I wouldn't recomend this car if you're learning to drift.
If you want I can post here my setup later on.

". . . the more tunes i try the more likely i am to find one that suits me, . . ." It's not wrong, but may I say that you'll be using tunes that suits its creator not you.
But apart from that, If I were on your shoes, I'll get one as a base and start experimenting from there. Read what each thing does, what affects what, its use, etc. Its all
trial and error. Not easy but its achievable and it does take its time. 👍

Hello. Tetsu ^ is right, start from scratch (even from a stock version) is always a radical, yet smart, move when you seem lost on a car's setup.
However, as promissed, I'll leave my setup here for you, hope it will help you, but again; I'm not an "expert" and...this is one tricky car. While it can be fast and you'll never lack torque, it's weight distribution is horrible, making it very VERY understeery, especially on braking or reducing speed. It will always have that big fat V8 nose going ahead. It can be good for leading, but for chasing, especially more oversteering (more angle) cars, it's a handfull, imo.
I do love the looks of it though.
Anyway, see if this helps:

I actually don't mind this car, the only problem I have with it is it needs a turbo..... Whaaaat!?! I find the way I tuned mine up, the handling was borderline perfect, however I always had the issue of over revving the car and therefore losing power mid drift. I think its got more to do with me holding the car in gear for too long as I don't like changing mid corner. I am however on a wheel. As for the tune, I'm unable to post it at the moment due to not having my playstation connected as I've just moved house. Hopefully mid week I can have it running.
