i don't know what tires work best for the HT Track (carpet) but the best combination normally across brands is PN Racing 45F/8R, Atomic 35F/8R, Kyosho 40F/10R.

adding weight will help the car a lot... that means, the aluminum FSP/RWH, Aluminum Wheels, and SSG-DSP (will fit without body mod). the Subaru is flawed in that is body is too "tall" so no matter what you do, it will never compete well against other 'low profile' type cars that can be much more aggressive in cornering.

Will getting rid of the ray gun, putting #35 in front and a getting an ICS cable to adjust the gyro Perfect it?

you'll need to adjust your turn radius no matter what as high speed + high grip = sharp turns, frequent rolls. the larger your radius, the less likely your car is to roll... with good grip, you can get good cornering at slow speed even with a larger radius. the transmitter is a personal preference but a better one will allow you to be more specific with tuning servo behavior... same with the ICS settings... it can help with the handling only by reducing servo response speed and other servo behavior.

the mazda 787 has some excellent characteristics. its not just a body as the body is related to the chassis characteristics but i get your point. the lower profile, wide, 'gt cars' are going to always outperform the 'street cars' so if you're looking to race and dominate, get yourself a set of fitting parts & slide into a new ride bro
