Has anyone else noticed that ferraris seem to lack performance in gt5?

All of my ferraris (excluding f2007 and f2010) even the enzo, seem to fail when it comes to PP. the enzo is my fastest ferari, yet it is still only like 630 or something fully upgraded apart from win and stuff. anyone else noticing this?
 
Well what are you comparing with? You're in race car territory here.
 
They seem realistic to me. Maybe the PP system is confusing you but they are fast, good handling and relatively light for their class just like real Ferraris. Are you a Ferrari fanboy? Do you think Ferraris should be the fastest and most exciting cars? They're good but so are a lot of other cars, some of which outclass them in actual driving characteristics and not prestige which means nothing in a racing scenario.
 
Even the 330 P4 is affected by this? Lol.
 
hmm i may have mistook the enzo for being bad, sorry, but all my other ferraris tend to only have 610-620 PP. aggreed, they all have good handling, but you can get much more power out of lambos or GTRs. maybe im just being sceptical...

The PP system doesn't necessarily work for all cars. F1 are in a class of their own and it's hard to equate their PP with other cars because they have such a dramatic grip advantage. The Enzo is poorly modelled in my opinion, lacking front end grip and rotation and it's hard to get it from tuning as well. Maybe the car was like that in real life, but you're right, it doesn't feel like a Ferrari. The Scuderia and Italia are fast and top performers in their PP range.
 
I noticed this as well. The Scuderia lacks the super fast shifting it's supposed have. Even with the upgraded clutch and Flywheel it's slow. The Enzo and the Italia fall short of their real life top speeds.
 
Im just saying that, stock, the ferraris rank similarly to things like the GTR's and the lambos and so on, but when you fully tune them, they just dont compete with the others anymore. maybe this is just GT, but i find it really annoying!
 
That's mostly because very few of the Ferraris have much in the way of extensive tuning; particularly in terms of forced induction which only a couple of them can take (and it really doesn't help the F40 any because it adds so little power). The Ford GT, Corvettes, GTRs and I'm pretty sure even the Audi R8s have that as an option, and when combined with the AWD many of them have it really pushes them up beyond the levels the V8 Ferraris can reach. Also not helping is that the downforce on the Enzo is so low when relative to other cars in that "class" (which is probably partially why it handles so poorly).

Not sure I agree on this. I love the 330 P4, it is by far my best 20 000 000 credit car.

Granted it needs a decent tune to get the best out of it, but then I routinely tune Racing Cars for each track. While the GT40 is fun and the Jaguar is slightly better handling, for me the 330 P4 is lovely to drive, with a nice mix of top end, handling and stability under hard braking. This makes it my fastest Nordschleife 20 million credit car by a fair way.

The car was said to oversteer compared to the Mark IV.
 
Not my experience, although my driving style IRL and in GT5 is to throw a car into the corner and get the back end out of line then power out from early in the corner.

I remember taking my elder son out in my new Renault Megane Scenic, a FWD MPV, not known for its performance and him commenting as we drove along a typically twisting English country road that; 'It corners well with the back end out!' I'd had it for less than 24 hours and was still 'running in'.*&**

* USA translation. Breaking it in.
** IE Not revving it hard and keeping below 70mph.
 
I did a little research before commenting here... I took the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari at 628PP to Deep Forest on RS tires (practice mode/free run), best I could do after 5 test & tune runs is 1:09.930. Then I took out the Corvette Z06 (C6) '06 with 631PP and RS tires, the best of 5 test & tune runs was 1:10.216. I also tried an Audi with similar PP and got about the same time. My result is that Ferraris perform about the same as other cars with similar PP levels. Your results may vary. I think the width of the stock tires is important regardless of the compound, for example, the Z06 has really fat meats on it while many of the older 60's muscle cars have relatively narrow rubber. This is just my honest opinion.
