I have my suspension pretty much bottomed out with lower values for bound and rebound. My sway bars are also pretty conservative; lower settings there, too. I'm using ABS at it lowest level because it's a little too difficult, at this point, even with the controller, to module the brakes (I'm running controllers only - no pedals/wheel). I'm starting to use the TCS, too, pretty light, just to control wheel spin. It's not, too bad, having no TCS, but I'm still trying to learn the feel of the cars and physics. It's different than FM3. I think I'm only getting around 1:30s, though, around Laguna Seca. I can't remember exactly, but that's my short tuning track, if you will. Once I unlock the 'Ring, I'll use that as my long tuning track. On FM3 I use both of those tracks to tune rear end ratios and even some camber settings. I think I'm about -1.5* on the front and about -1.0* on the rear on GT5 but I WAY prefer FM3's style of showing heat in the tires than I see in GT5 at this point.

I'm still tweaking though. What I really need to do is go through my guide and see how they say things should be tuned. I get snap oversteer if I'm not running a touch of TCS If I find anything in the guide, I'll post up. I REALLY like the ability to tune, but I'm not like this style at all...

I'm running a lot of what I am running on my SS on my ZR1. Again - I feel like I have a long ways to go, still. I'm using more ABS and TCS, too, though, because of the additional power and speed. Again - I have a ways to go, though, because I get a lot of snap oversteer in this car, too.

I LOVE tuning!!! I'm not feeling it's execution though. Maybe it's because I'm still at only Level 16, but I'm just not feeling excitement to play. I still have more fun playing the "other" game; I have more seat time, therefore, I feel more in-tune with it, so I hope that'll change soon.

JMVHO. Once I review my guide, I'll make some changes and see how things work out
