I'm going to say the Option Stream Z. That thing is crazy, and unlike most of the cars here, I have yet to see a tune for it in the tuning forum.
 
RUF CTR Yellowbird is a fun car stock but.... DONT UPGRADE IT!!!

You wont be able to get the speedometer above 120mph in a straight line without wrecking it everytime.
 
Shelby Cobra 427, Ford GT40, Ruf Yellowbird, Ferrari Enzo, Bugatti Veyron, Jay Leno Tank car, Buick Special...ugh
 
Shelby Cobra, Ferrari 512BB and McLaren F1 (ALL beautiful pieces of art! Why can't they handle better?! Shame!) Any TVR is a damn handfull, the X2010 (wtf?!), TOYOTA PRIUS (probably the WORST car I have EVER DRIVEN! What were they thinking?!) and the Corvettes.
 
There's probably 30-40 cars that are hard to control, but I'll just list 5.
1. FGT (No Aids)
2. Shelby Cobra
3. TVR 12 Speed
4. McLaren F1 (No Aids)
5. Oullim Spirra

The Schwimmwagen, it spins under braking about 80% of the time.

It has brakes? I thought you just turned your palm towards the wind to slow it down from it's massive top speed...

Wish you could take it in the water as designed.
 
I would say the Speed 12, but even though it can be touchy, understeer makes it a fairly predicatble machine. I'd say the FGT, the 427 Cobra, the Stratos is definetly in there. The 8C is just 🤬 around corners. the countach can be tail happy. Oh and lets not forget the Lotus Elise and the Lamborghini LP640 Murcielago on any form of hard sport or less tires. The X2010/X1 can be difficult when being pused (tail slides out like a mad man). Lets see, the McLaren F1 will try to kill you, any moderatley power ful Viper will try to killl you. tThe Ferrari F40 will give you a thousand paper cuts, and the try to kill you. the Enzo will deceive you and then kill you. the CLK-GTR will bludgeon you into a migraine. The CT230R from HKS will kill itself in an attempt to kill you if you think of doing anything other than driving in a staight line. Oh yea, and lets not forget the Zonda, which, specially the Zonda R, which will rip your head off and parade around with it at an evening social, wearing it as a hat.

You my friend, just made my day with all those metaphors XD

Speed 12... a fairly predicatble machine... Oh and lets not forget the Lotus Elise and the Lamborghini LP640 Murcielago on any form of hard sport or less tires...

The Speed 12 is kind of predictable but it doesn't make it easy to drive, though once you've learnt how to drive it it's not likely to catch you off guard.

The Elise is fine on anything but comfort tyres, though I agree with the LP-640, it has murderous lift-off oversteer, so you just have to be sure to not lift off too quickly.

I've never had problems with the McLaren F1 nor the F40, you just have to be gentle, and the CT230R is a great machine with a bit of tuning, with very little effort I turned one of mine into quite a good drift car, which involves the opposite of driving in a straight line. It does understeer with the default tune, yeah, but it was built to be set up for whatever track it may be driven on so I'd imagine the default tune is the most inert setting it could possibly have.
 
For me:

Toyota 7 - No front end at all, to much power too

X1 - I just can´t handle it, against all physic's laws
 
The Truimph Spitfire tuned to the max. Won't stay on the track over 100km/h
But its a blast trying especially on the Ring.
 
The Enzo and Ford GT fully modified with all aids off, absolute nightmare.

The Enzo is the car which handlings suits me most (which equals to best car for me). Give this car a chance and play around with the suspension and weight balance.

I did a test at Suzuka with minimal weight and +200kg ballast (without adding power). Eventhough the car weight 20% more, it was 8 tenths faster and almost zero understeer.
Then I started playing around with the suspension, even some crazy setups like lifting the nose (front +5, rear -25) works with this car! Now its handling is very neutral for me, it sounds awesome with the racing exhaust and driving a V12 is always something special!

My favorite car!

And my vote for the most uncontrollable car goes to the F40, eventhough Im 100% sure that a Toyota 88C MINOLTA on comfort hards tires would be challenging too...
 
Shelby Cobra
Tank Car
Suzuki Escudo Dirt Trial Car
Ford GT, GT40 and Mark IV
Bugatti Veyron

In a nutshell, FWD cars seem to have massive understeer making them hard to drive but with the right tuning, you can turn them into monsters.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :sly:

Ture, most of those cars can be tamed with tuning. I'm just talking from the perspective of buying it off the lot and maybe changing tires and thats about it. For me the F40 dosn't really like to brake. It gives a bit of wiggle here and there and just when you're about get off the brake and enter the turn, it understeers then immediatly transitions to snap oversteer.

The McLaren F1 seems to quite simply not like any form of steering input while over 50% throttle. With me even when being gentle the tail end will try to step out. Oh and going over hill or any for of decompression on the suspension makes it go completely mad. . I can't drive that thing stock. Only for a drift and that has to be the right track.

As for the CT230R. Well, I've had the same consistent problem. It can decide whether it wants to snap over or go in a straight line wheel at the lock. Even trying to get it sideways, it will decide it doesnt want to drift anymore and straighten up. Try to corner with it and then it wants to drift. Try to work with it in any form and it will try to plow into wall. It like giving a scizophrenic champanzee angel dust. It needs to be evaluated first and even then you just wouldn't do it.

Now by no means am I saying "These cars are horrid and undriveable". I'm just saying that I can understand the difficluties people have with them when choosing which would be the most violent death.
 
The chromeline Murc is horrible.

You're kidding right? I have one (preorder woot!) and it has decent power, decent handling, doesn't oversteer madly but it'll make nice smokescreen without much trying.

I've caught glimpses of it in the Shuffle Race rotation... can anyone confirm actually getting it?

Oops I thought you ment Merc... yes the LP640 is horrible.

Chevrolet Corvette ZR1! You need to be so precise with the throttle. Even if you step on it too much, you'll spin out.
