Dazza no mate its got the dogs on it mate but theres a twist to your method.
Your is a decent time for the horsepower and i suppose you have everything on yours too except a bigger turbo.
If you run 360 bhp and you had nos then it dont had any more bhp to it

Erm nope i've set the BHP just with the tuning mods, no turbo changes... also only other changes are medium race tyres and suspension...
I may run more bhp to get used to the speed
then back it off to the 360 bhp... I chose the 360 bhp figure as its realistic level on tune.. as you can get carried away with the POWER and the game ends up being more like a kids driving game and not a simulator...

Spec C off the shelf in 8.07 including a couple of offs...
I take it that the 360bhp cap is the only restriction and I can mod the rest of it to my hearts content? New suspension, tyres & brakes methinks

I practiced on PGR2 a lot before GT4 arrived. 
reckon I can go sub 8 mins without mods - there's a section just before the carousel where I keep backing off when I really should keep the accelerator planted, and I did say I went off a couple of times by overshooting corners.
Whats the bhp as standard on a Spec C anyway? Will have a good tinker with the settings and have another go tonight
There seems to be a bit of contradiction with power outputs - I've been racing with an STI6 tuned to 407bhp, but when the race starts it says 428.

Standard Spec C with no mods at all (and a lot of laps, i mean "A LOT" of laps ......) and no off's 7:35.
I hit 159 MPH on the fast downhill section !!
I used to have a life as well, now all i have is a stiff neck ! LOL
£30 well spent, but it should have a WARNING on it, Not to drive a car after playing GT4,
Real life has no RESET button !

Yeah yeah craig!! What ever you say!!
Nah, seriously bring on the competition! That wasn't a perfect lap although I was trying to be as smooth as possible and not push too hard so I made mistakes! I reckon the times could get down to around 7:05 before anyone has to concede defeat on this one!
