Tuning Notes:
I came to realize that this is my favorite car in Gran Turismo, I recall trying to tame this beast on the rally tracks in previous GT titles. If you can drive this car on dirt, you can literally drive anything on dirt. Everything is amplified in this car; the downforce, the turbo lag, she's great.
Some tips about driving here so you don't pull your hair out. That first real jump as you enter turn 4, try to take it flat out and as straight as possible, plus slightly left of center. Next, I wish to god you could install a turbo lag in her, it'd turn the fun dial up to 11, but alas... For the flat, fast section after coming downhill, be sure to fully brake and recover before you begin that sharp hill. Otherwise, you'll get turned 90 degrees.
For the BIG jump, just brake as you enter the crest so the car is either close to center or slightly leaning forward as you land. And of course, watch out for the barriers, don't take a header on the 2nd to last turn while 3 seconds up on your best lap
She'll go sub 2:50 stock, with practice.
