I need some help.
I have the Altezza Touring Car.
I like it because of the 10K redline.
I think this car can be a contender.
But it has problems:

1.) Its underpowered. (in GT3, the Altezza Race car had 1001HP, Now I'm lucky if I stay in the 600s.)
2.) The Turbo Lag is ridiculas. You seriously don't have any power until like 8K rpms.
3.) Its a 5 spd. (what the heck is that about? The stock Altezza comes with a 6spd from the dealer.)
4.) In a Long Straight away, I end up not being able to continue to accelerate. I'll get to a certain speed, but the car just doesn't have anything more and I still have room in the rpm range.

I need some serious settings for this car to be a contender with the bigger boys.
Even though its underpowered and has some weaknesses. Can you guys please help me make this car a contender with the 600-800hp machines. After I put about 3K miles on my Altezza Touring Car, the power dropped into the 5XXhp mark, when it was 610hp stock fully loaded.

Your Preference depending on Track Situation.
Testing was done with R5s.

NOTES:
When getting the Altezza Touring Car, the RED color matches best with the overall appearance of the car. There is also a YELLOW and BLUE, but the RED matches best. Just FYI. My Altezza Touring Car has 550hp and 3,6XX miles. (started with 560hp I think). It is competitive against other rear-wheel drive cars up to about 700hp.
Its the underdog as far as power, but you make up the power with superior braking and flawless cornering. This car is also setup to brake until the last minute, then downshifing an extra gear, staying in the Turbo RPMs and quickly exiting the corner.
The Super Stiff Springs and Ultra Low ride height of this car make it a track master.
It is prone to Bouncing slightly on tracks with hills.
If used on Tracks with Hills and High Speeds, you might want to raise the car a few MM and loosen the springs a little bit.

Let me know if anyone has tried these settings and what they think.
Also, if anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know.

PROS:
1.) This car is super-easy to controll. Turns feel very natural and you can literaly drive the same line on the track over and over.
2.) The Ultra High 10K redline makes this car a winner and very fun to drive.
3.) This car is very lightweight for a mid-size sedan, it only weighs 1000kg or 2204.60 lbs.

CONS:
1.) The Turbo Lag is a problem. I have 2 ways around it. You can use nitrous for the lower RPMs to get you going into the full spool of the turbo. (If you set the Nitrous at 50-70%, you actually get quite a bit.)
Also, when cornering sometimes its best to downshift an extra gear keeping you in the higher revs (8-10K) and then upshifting at 10K when exiting the corner.
2.) Low end Tourque. There just isn't any. In the Lower RPMs, this car is a dog.
