As promised here are the tunes for all the cars I've gotten gold in S10 with. These tunes are not fully optimized, with the possible exception of the Mines. Usually I took the lead on lap 3. The GT-R was lap 4.
The Mines was lap 2!
So consider these tunes a starting point. For those who's driving style is similar to mine (agressive, tossing the car into corners and sliding through the apex) these tunes should work.
Pad users give the Blitz a try. It's very stable, and works well with auto transmission.
I included my best laps in testing. These are not the best I could do, but the best I did in that session. These times usually happened with some drafting help.
With these tunes both ABS and TCS will slow you down. You may still be able to get gold but I can't promise anything.
Mines - There is no question this is the best of the S10 tunes I've done. It's not only the fastest but it handles fantastic in traffic.
Best Lap: 1:56.624! with several other laps of 1:57.xxx. This is the only car I've run laps in this event under 1:57.

Chevy Z06 This tune is for those who have got to thinking S10 isn't a challenge. Lots of power, FR drivetrain, no downforce at all. Be gentle with the throttle and don't overdrive the corners boys and girls, cause this one will bite you! Like the GT06, it's plenty fast enough to beat S10, but it will make you earn it.
