Shelby Cobra 427 '66 Tune?

This car has so much power and light weight, but its such a wild beast to handle even in b-spec. I gotta constantly tell Bob to pace down otherwise disaster, car flipping, wall smashing adventures come in to play. I'm searching for the perfect setup...
 
From what I've worked with if you put the rear toe positive and put a really heavy front sway bar usually it plants the back tires much better, it will produce understeer but it will allow you to adjust it till you find a balance of both.
 
Still playing GT5 ..not a fan of GT6 although i'm still trying. Anyway, I worked up a very interesting tune for the '66 Cobra last night in GT5, re-won historic racing car cup. I had all but given up on the Cobra previously. But with the numbers the Cobra possesses, I just had to try one more time. This set up allows for very good control at the highest horse power level which is nice because you can race on twisting tracks ...but the best part is, you're not just racing. This tune lets you become a monster in the Cobra! You can do massive drifts around corners with none of that throttle turn out garbage or wheelies that make you lose control. Be warned! This is not for beginner drivers. In order to run this tune on the Cobra (and have fun) you have to be a skilled driver and know how to not be shy with the throttle. You have to kick ass. This is pure fun!!
Here it is.... ENJOY!

Try this, still a work in progress, but Bob can usually drive it.

Transmission- 224 mph
Ride Height- -20/-20
Spring Rate- 6.0/5.8

Dampers (Compression)- 5/6
Anti- Roll Bars- 4/4
Camber- 1.7/1.5

Also, if someone is good at tuning LSDs, this probably needs it.

you can be agressive with this tune, never oversteers out of nothing, understeers a bit for the sake of grip
