Is the Gillet any good?

[DDAAVVIIDD82]

It's a fun car, no denying that, and I absolutely love its Cheetah-esque profile but with that outlandish front end.

I don't get this thing about it handling so badly. To me it was like a normal supercar. Meh out of the box but great with a minuscule amount of tuning. I probably like it because it is perfectly balanced for my driving style. Which means it's got the perfect "not right" distribution. I like the rear end sliding just a wee bit coming off the straight at lesarthe. I like it to overstear like a s.o.b. Most importantly I want to drive it around a corner going POWWWWEEEEERRRR!!!!!!

Check the power/weight ratio. Now have a few laps with it. Stage 3: Profit.

To give an idea of what it can do on the ring, it was stock, no power added, on racing soft tires, only downforce and gearing adjusted, could be geared to hit higher top speed...

Is the red one in GT5? Never seen it. I always liked the red Gillet more.

Unfortunately no.

Most important is fully customisable gearbox, otherwise you'll never get the best from what is undeniably a beast and a beauty.

Recommended ratios @ c.940bhp/660pp;
1st - 4.400
2nd - 3.000
3rd - 2.100
4th - 1.600
5th - 1.250
6th - 1.010
Final - 2.900

How does she do, in regards to wheel spin, in low speed corners with this? I'm a ds3 user,... for now , and usually just drag out the gears to help alleviate tire spin.

I can't recall exactly, been awhile, but when I drive the gillete I usually leave it in second or third and chug through the turns rather than scream awkwardly jabbing the throttle lol 👍

I aint using manual, except for drifting, and I like a tune that is general purpose. So far, against AI competition, those ratios have been quite satsifactory. I use the back straight of the Nurburgring for 'saturation' testing.. ;P.
I use ds3 too, and throughout the length of the 'ring those ratios keep me happy.
