Ferrari 250 GTO drift project
So I was burning through wheelspins and got the 250 GTO. I immediately had the thought of making Enzo Ferrari roll in his grave. We started with swapping the beautiful stock engine and it was all downhill from there. Drift tuned. Painted pearl. I’d like to think Enzo would weep at the finish product.
All that said, I like it a lot and want some feedback on the tuning. It’s scored 355k uphill, 352k downhill, at Hakone Nanamagiri. I just want to know where it needs to be improved, average scores at people’s favorite drift zones, maybe just a few downloads to work on my tuner rank.
Tuning code: 175 651 449
I only drift in manual so I’m sorry if you’re an automatic driver. Maybe give this one a pass. It lives in 3rd gear and really needs the ability to control your gearing between 3rd and 4th. You can more or less skip 1st and 2nd gear after launch. Sometimes I don’t even bother and just initiate a drift from a stop in 3rd with an ebrake tap and liberal use of the throttle.
At the end of the day, this is a passion project, so feedback is appreciated. I am by no means a top tier drifter but I like to think I can tune a car to give me the best advantage.
