Yes I have heard one suggestion is to set the sway bar to the softest settings. That and Michelin Super Sports transforms the car. I really would never drive this car 10/10's.

It reminds me of how difficult it was to drive my 211 when I first got it. With its power to weight ratio, I spun the car many a time on track. Once the rear end slips and spins around, there is no saving the car. It took me a long time to learn the 211 - never really even realized its full potential. Some cars demand extreme focus.
The CGT is one of them.

Congrats on the purchase. How bad has it been getting used to that clutch?

The race clutch is unforgiving. There is the odd programming of the ECU which is designed counterintuitively - when releasing the clutch, one must Not add any throttle, or else car will stall. The ECU is designed to automatically apply forward momentum to the car when releasing he clutch. After rolling, then apply throttle. This can be challenging on a hill.

The race clutch is a composite ceramic thin wafer of 169 mm. It is a direct on or off, so sometimes shifts can be rough.
But these challenges make the car that much more rewarding to drive.
