Breaking on most of the Lambos is sketchy. (any tune to fix this?)

It's not as bad on the Superveloce with racing soft tires. Try a small bump on the braking sensitivity in LSD settings, but not too much because you don't want understeer. This combined with a front and back aero kit, lowered toe angle, increased spring rates and maybe a slightly lowered ride height makes it a surprisingly good car. The Gallardo... well I just don't see hope for that one. It will always be beat by the Ferrari 458 Italia, and the 430 Scuderia will beat it on any course except a Superspeedway and maybe High Speed Ring, SSR7 and the Sarthe courses.

Yeah the Gallardo is what was on my mind when mentioning that, thanks for the tip of some adjustments:tup:
 
YellowBird, Stratos, Cizeta, Cobra, Saleen S7, Nardo - are some of the cars I found to be friskier than can be handled without a license to kill. But what an amazing experience once tamed and tuned to fit one's style of personal lead-footedness. I found the Cizeta, Saleen, and Nardo all greatly satisfying cars to drive once shod and bridled right.
I guess that's where you have to learn your mount.
Taming them is half the fun. These cars (so far) have been the really wild and wooly ones for me.
As opposed to the sheer gentlemanly (nay, even stately) raw, stable power with which the Bentley Speed 8 takes care of races, courses, and everything else in between.

OK, here is WHY the correct answer is 'Yellowbird, BTR, Stratos' with honorable mention for the Ford GT cars and cobra...

Some cars, it doesn't actually help to put on racing softs. The Yellowbird's weight balance is so off, and the Stratos wheelbase is so short, that if you put good tires on, all that happens is the car's misbehavior gets more quick and violent. It's the same instability, but more and more aggressive. This assumes you are pushing the car to its limit (sort of the point, really?)

With the Ford GTs, it's sort of more that you can always put the car out of control at any moment, if you don't know how fast the corner is. It's not inherently evil, it just does nothing whatsoever to stop you getting yourself in trouble.

With the Stratos, due to the short wheelbase, at speed any little mistake in correction can flip the car out pretty much instantly. I suspect this is why people are including the Caterham (which I don't think is in the same class, unless maybe you mod it). The Cobra's in the same class- less twitchy than a Stratos but with more uncontrollable power. These are semi-evil, they don't win for 'most totally evil'.

With the Yellowbird, due to the extremely Porsched-out weight distribution, it's specifically speed that kills you- past a certain point of slip the car wants to accelerate its spin violently. The more speed you add, the smaller a correction you can make before hitting that point. At insane speeds, you're basically clinging in terror to the wheel, holding it perfectly still, wondering how the hell you're going to decelerate without slamming into a wall backwards while spinning at about 3000 rpm :) and it's so much fun to accelerate, that wonderful noise and the way the world whooshes by.

At any given moment, you can get in horrible trouble within about one and a half seconds using the accelerator. Also, the car is only stable while accelerating. Violently. So you're only safe WHILE you're getting in horrible trouble within a few seconds.

Best car ever :scared:
 
I'm surprised no one or not a lot people mentioned LP640. I like to drive cars stock, preferably on comfort tires (cause I think these are road legal tires) and LP640 can be really tricky. I know it's 4WD, but in fast corners it provides you grip grip and more grip, but when you go a bit over the limit, bam!, and you're looking where you've come from through a cloud of smoke. It does it without any warning. Try it on oval and you'll see what I mean. And no racing slick tires and any other tuning.
 
Enzo is the worst car I've ever handled in a GT game.
 
The Enzo and Ford GT fully modified with all aids off, absolute nightmare.
 
Ford GT is one of the better cars in that game. Not quite sure where your pulling that from.

Exactly it's a beast that I still haven't manage to tune well enough to actual get around the Nurburgring quickly. :(
 
The Ginetta G4 gets a bad rap. It helped me tame my lead foot coming out of the turn. My tune is a work in progress, but already P1'd every competition its entered first try, except Nurb' in the Historic Seasonal. (its so light, hitting bumps at 150+ is like driving the lunar rover...just doesnt want to come back to terara firma.)

Which one? The F10 handles moderately bad while the F2007 handles good great!

The f10 gets no love I think it handles great with a stable tune but it's not quite as fast as the f2007
 
As someone suggested already, the Renault 5 Turbo can be a little swine! I have a fully tuned one which I managed to tame a bit with suspension tuning.

Also agree with the majority - RUF Yellowbird is tricky!
