How it drives
Rear-wheel drive makes the Cipher a natural drifter: lift off or tap the handbrake on turn-in and the rear steps out. The flip side is that too much throttle on corner exit spins it.
Top speed is its best area, though only mid-pack at No. 43 of 89, so it makes up the most time on long straights.

- Fuji Tōge Descent · par speed 189 km/h
- Yokohama Bayside Sprint · par speed 187 km/h
How to tune it
Handling is its weakest area (No. 64 of 89), so put the first upgrades into handling. A car that turns in and recovers predictably is quicker everywhere, and it can use power upgrades later without spinning.
