Murc SV

Why does it handle so bad? It's honestly "like a greasy weasle", to quote the popular GTP saying.

Just put some racing tires, lighten up a bit, the power already good and handles very very nice!

I've heard these comments quite a lot. Do you think that i should buy this car?

Bought it today and, to be honest, with aids on it feels too heavy. What's more, most of the time you will be fighting not with other cars but with traction or stability control, yeah.

Things changes when you turn all aids off. Smooth driving delivers best results for me. But push the gas pedal a liitle too hard and you'll understand what 'raging bull' is all about. And if you put it that way it even makes sense.

It feels totally different from SV in Forza 3. That one was glued to the track and you could easily floor it through lots of corners. In GT5 it requires a little more practice.

I just find that when you brake, it wants to slide out of control.

It's a mid-engined car. Don't trailbrake. A MR or M4 car normally doesn't like to be braked in anything but a straight line.

Reason: You have the engine behind you. When you are on the brakes, the weight shifts forward, but this engine acts like a pendulum that will swing the car if you begin to turn while still turning. One thing that can help ameliorate this condition is touching the throttle a bit while braking.

While this is about the SV, the LP 640 in the toscana challenge behaves roughly the same way. Very loose under braking in a curve. Throttle braking helps and stabilizes the car. If you can handle a 4-wheel drift in a 4 wheel drive car (or more correctly: recovering one without a lot of speed loss), then don't blip the throttle. To help prevent it from drifting, blip the throttle a little or keep the throttle on a little while braking. This means that if you are using a wheel, Left-Foot-Braking is nearly required to keep the car stable.

Once more, either brake in a straight line, or trail brake whilst applying a tad of the throttle to stabilize this beast. It will perform very nicely

I made a bullet out of it!

👍 Very good tips!

I realized how to counter that (slam the throttle for a second, then back on the brakes), but I just find it a little much. The Gallardo is far easier to control and I can get way better laptimes with it than the SV.

For only 395000cr plus tuning i got 883HP, 4wd monster! Very good power/money ratio, i must say.

I much prefer my ACR. For only 100K plus tuning I get a rocket ship that can handle reasonably well.
