uMadson?
From my own experience, I would say the Lancia Stratos, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, and the RUF Yellowbird.

The Lexus IS F Racing Concept would oversteer like hell too on comfort hard tires.

To be honest, pretty much anything will oversteer on comfort hards. They are THE drifting tyre for a reason. Lol
An X2010 with a ds3 is REALLY hard to use because of the reaction time delay thing with the pad... thats why i bought a second wheel...
I havent driven it, but the AI always have serious tire lift understeer/power oversteer issues with the muira. Always loads of smoke coming off it anyway.
For me, the hardest car to drive properly is the mclaren mp4 i bought for the supercar challenge. It won easily on the tyres it came with, but it was sideways CONSTANTLY! Lol
 
I'm surprised by a lot of the cars mentioned in this thread. Mclaren, Zonda, Shelby Cobra etc. ? These cars all feel exactly like they should; not necessarily "mash the throttle and stick", but they are very drivable once you understand their limits. (I'm using a G25 wheel/pedals/shifter and a racing sim).

Now as for complete unpredictable mayhem... out of the 500 or so cars I've driven to this point, I would have to agree with the Yellowbird and Stratos. Those cars are just pure evil...plain and simple. :)

I havent had any trouble driving the Stratos compared to the Chromeline Cobra, wich tend to be tail happy even with half throttle :scared:. Note that I'm using a G27 in a custom cockpit, so throttle controle isnt a concern
 
RUF Yellow Bird and my 707hp Cobra... on Racing Softs, can't go around high speed ring turn 1 flat!!!
 
The Ruf Yellowbird is an obvious one, also the NSX LM Road Car is very tailhappy and sometimes difficuilt to correct. You've gotta be really fast after countersteering, otherwise you'll get snapback oversteer and run into a wall or something.
 
if the yellowbird drives in real life like it does in the game then I'd be surprised if there are any left in real life and not mashed into crashbarriers and brick walls etc
 
I drove a fully tuned Yellow Bird last night at the ring and nothing comes even close in terms of trickyness.

That car is on a whole different level, specially since you can´t always tell when you are losing the backend (Which is almost everytime).
 
I have a really tough time keeping the BMW V12 Race Car on the road coming out of turns. It's got too much power. I'm still working on it.
 
The yellowbird..or can I say yellowbeast..that thing is unsafe at any speed. It should come with a health and safety warning.
 
TVR Tuscan in all it's forms:

As stock, with all driving aids off and on Sports-Hards (as the car was shipped):
- Doesn't like to go in a straight line at all, either it oversteers under braking, then suffers from insane snap oversteer.

As a street tuner with full mods (but no RM) on Racing-Softs:
- Extremely unpredictable, might end up drifting for one moment, but at higher speeds, it likes to kiss the grass on the outside of the corner. You can find yourself going off for whatever reason.

RM version with full mods also on Racing-Softs:
- Understeer understeer and more understeer. Even applying the throttle one millisec earlier can cause you to go careening into the grass:ouch:
 
+1 for Yellow Bird, although it's an extremely fun ride for sure. One particularly annoying car not yet mentioned in this thread, though: Saleen S7. As someone on this forum said, with sports hard tires fitted, the rear wheels feel totally like they're fitted with comfort hard. The oversteer when accelerating out of corners is beyond annoying. Yes, a car like the McLaren F1 requires delicacy when driving it on sports hard as well, but that one you learn to control with time and get great lap times with. Not so with the Saleen S7, and it's not even a fun ride like the Yellow Bird.

Huh!? I love the RM version, its one of my favourite cars to drive, i didn't think anyone would think it's undriveable. Guess i was wrong.
 
^ Not that it's undrivable, I really love the car too.

However, I haven't been able to cure that chronic understeer (which could easily take an inexperienced guy off the course):ouch:
 
The Chromeline Lambo is impossible to control. It will completely defeat any kind of driver aids, understeering and sliding at the same time, etc.
 
Talking about stock cars, I'll put the cars in this order of difficulty :

1. Ruf CTR Yellowbird
2. Ruf BTR
3. Shelby 427 Cobra
4. Zonda R on sport soft tires
5. Lamborghini Murcièlago LP 640
6. McLaren F1

The lambo can be tricky because it has a lot of off throttle oversteer, while the F1 is not really difficult to drive, it's just insanely fast and you have to pay attention at the exit of the corners.
