This car laps under 2 minutes in my hands, with tremendous top speed and good grip. There’s some understeer in the bends, but an important tip—downshift to high RPM to help rotate the car and hit the apex more effectively.
Ideally, I’d lower rear downforce, tweak power output, or add some ballast to improve balance. However, due to the PP bug affecting most engine swaps in this game, making these changes would push it over the 600PP limit.
Still, even with these constraints, it’s an absolute weapon on track!
4 stars only because of a slight understeer issue that I couldn’t fully eliminate with the available tuning options. Otherwise, it’s an excellent car with strong performance!
⚙️ Gearbox Setup:
The gearing is extremely long due to the power curve.
Peak power is at 5,500 RPM, so shift between 6,500 – 6,700 RPM for best performance.
DO NOT rev to the limiter—you’ll lose a lot of speed.
Automatic transmission won’t work well; using it will result in significantly lower performance.
A true beast, but it demands proper shifting to unleash its full potential!
Enjoy your drive. ><(((((((°>°°°°°

Ran this tune yesterday and wow, this tune is insane (one of the more crazier frankenstein swaps not sure how this sits under 600pp). Although you have the slight understeer which caught me out a few times in the technical section, the sheer power when it kicks in high up the RPM is amazing. First tune where I managed to nearly lap the entire grid and hit sub 2 mins aswell!

2025-03-10 19:36:14 +0000 UTCWow! This thing is a guided missile. Passed the field on lap 1 and did my fastest time yet on Tokyo by over a minute. It's a nice drive as well as a fast one. Thanks Praiano!

2025-03-02 09:07:23 +0000 UTCYes, it’s one of the best money-makers in the game—and in my opinion, one of the most enjoyable too! If you shift manually at 6,500 RPM or at least use a longer gearbox, you can be much faster. It reaches 354 km/h (220 mph) at the end of the straight!

2025-03-01 20:21:41 +0000 UTCI've been using this swap since I saw it on JeffreyGT97 on YouTube. Been happy with automatic transmission set to 440. Understeers on a few corners but enjoyable otherwise. Can do no pit on FM6 but you fight more traffic. And to be honest, I'm not ashamed to wall ride a couple of turns if I'm only grinding for money. I'll usually alternate "real" driving vs wall riding to break up the monotony of grinding multiple races in a row.
