(Aero)
None was needed but if you did opt for the "Forza" aero kit then just set
everything to speed. ((not tested))
(Braking)
Balance - 30% front
Pressure - 125%
(Differential)
Accel - 66%
Decel - 63%
(Notes)
This car's main drift gear is 2nd. If you are going to be drifting
in excess of 90mph then go in 3rd.
57% of the car's weight is in the rear...This causes a small problem on
high speed drifts. The cars inherent aerodynamics causes considerable
amounts of down force in the rear and may prove difficult to keep the
drift for extended periods of time.
On the upside the drift is far more controllable in the high speed giving
way to deeper angles and better lines.
Try to avoid low speed drift courses like Road Atlanta. The car doesn't
perform well in drifts under 50 mph.

I haven't tried it yet, but why 55psi on the tires. That seems a little beyond.

55psi as odd as it sounds improves stability and allows for better angles. The downside you may encounter understeer in FR oriented cars.

That does sound crazy, the more psi you add the rounder the tire becomes, so less of the tread is touching the pavement. IRL anyway, lol. I've never tried it on FM2, so I'll give that a shot and let you know how it works for me.
