In attempt to make the drifting scene on GT6 more lively I have decided to put a tune out there. This tune is for my most prized GT6 possession and I hope it will help others understand how to drift and tune their cars better. It is still a work in progress but all in all it is well beyond being capable of drifting numerous laps around most tracks and is borderline competition ready. 720p is available for all videos below.

Video Notes:
- I understand the springs may look off, however that is why I clicked on both spring rates to show you that I had no choice but to set the rear to such a high number. As I continue to tune more and more cars I notice that GT6's numerical values don't have as much of an effect as one might think they do. For example, using the springs again, 11.84F and 19.03R is ludicrous but if you look at the blue bars below the numerical values you will notice that the front is almost three times stiffer than the rear. I don't exactly understand how this works but it does.
- Also the LSD, I understand that 5, 60, 60 is what we ran on GT5 however I have found that to be "off" in a sense of unexpected changes occur while drifting that are very unforgiving. If you read the description of initial torque while tuning in GT6 it says "The more sensitive the LSD, the less pronounced the change in handling when it kicks in. The higher the setting the less likely unexpected changes in handling are to occur, but the more likely you are to experience understeer." Therefore, a 60, 60, 60 LSD (Based off of how GT6 describes the different values of the LSD) seems more like a locked diff (Correct me if I'm wrong).
- Finally, another thing I have noticed they implemented into the game was the difference in torque range/output with different parts, hence the reason why I have chosen to use a stage 2 engine and a sports exhaust. The parts I have chosen -- from the engine to the supercharger -- allow my car to handle the way I want it to in terms of throttle response and along with the suspension I have created myself a drift car that fits MY DRIFTING STYLE.
Current issues with the car:
- Slight understeer here and there, stiff on initial turn in, and struggles a little uphill.

I would say I'm a good driver but just can't drift with a wheel!
