I used the Apollo Intensa as my car to win the Zonda Cinque in the Showdown. I believe in the faster lobbies, a moderate dyno beating car can do very well. Although, no matter how good the tune, it seems you always will get a few ringers who are going to run you over.
My setup is missing some trans epic fusions. however, it is tuned to 9.1 lobby using stage 3 engine and rest maxed. If you have fully maxed car you may want stage 2 engine. tune is simple right now, left FD 2.0 and left tire 0/100. Avoid 0 rpm launches.
