Greetings! My first topic on GTPlanet!

Anyway, so after playing with the... interesting tunes from the Tuning forum (and promptly fixing them to be drivable - maybe I should start my own tuning garage), I then find myself later playing in 500pp limit events.

And feeling really, really bored.
With 650pp+ cars, I find myself constantly fighting oversteer and having to feather the throttle because some cars spin out on straights if you apply full throttle (???)
So I find myself tuning the 500pp cars for severe braking oversteer, power oversteer, and trying to drift every corner. Just to recreate the feeling of driving the 650+ cars.

My question is - is this getting me faster times at all?
Or should I be using sane (boring) tunes?

Do any of you do the same?
As an extended question - what if I tuned my IRL car like this, would driving to work be more fun, or would I just be wrecking my tyres+suspension?
 
Power oversteer is sometimes nice to leave youre opponents in the dust (smoke) but drifting is most of the time slower.
If you have opponents who are at the same level of you this 'boring' car setups can be quit fun when having a clean race online.
