As I'm on holiday I finally had the time to explore something I've been curious about for a while now.

What are the rival cars actually running?

Where better to start than the most unbalanced b*stard of them all, J Imai and his gold Silvia.

Watching it in a replay a few things are obviously fitted besides the bodykit.
1) Racing exhaust.
2) Fully Customisable Suspension, the rear camber is beyond -3.
3) High RPM turbo.
4) Engine work resulting in a rev limit just under 8'000 rpm.
5) Anti Lag

The first three are all easy to replicate and give you a decently quick Silvia, but his is still quicker. In terms of engine work the following increase maximum rpm.
High Lift Cams
Racing Crankshaft
ECU
Engine Balance Tuning
Titanium Connecting Rods and Pistons.

Finding the right combination to give a rev limit of just under 8'000 requires more than just modification to increase RPM, it then needs trimming back down from a certain point.
Either of the following combinations lands you at exactly 8'131rpm
High Lift Cams
Racing Crank
ECU
Engine Balancing or Titanium Connecting Rods and Pistons.

Bringing it back down requires the Stroke Up modification, which when applied to either of the above gives you a redline of 7'969rpm, meaning that with just what the boost, rpm and visible power modifications on show it is running a minimum figure of...
401BHP with Titanium Connecting Rods or 413BHP with Engine Balance Tuning
On comfort soft with the same aero that translates to 559.44PP at current levels.

It was surprising once I started just how far I had to go with the car to match the boost and rpm levels shown in the replay.

It could well be running the full suite of Racing section power modifications, but I only listed what I could confirm myself.
 
Thanks for this! I thought I’d won and then saw “2nd”, the Silvia was 12-13 seconds ahead, lol. TBH… it is a throwback to older GT games so I don’t hate it in hindsight, for an OP car to appear rarely (but I feel it should be rare).

EDIT: Okay, it is decently rare. Maybe took me another 5-6 entries for the Silvia to show up.

There are some races in the Silvia Sisters where the leader is very OP. If you try to beat them in a car with the suggested PP rating, you will lose. Of course, you could add nitrous, which doesn't increase your PP rating. That could make all the difference.
