Rubbish, the car comes with racing softs as standard in real life!!!! Tyre and driving aid snobs ruin this community.

People should play this game as they so choose. But, it's quite presumptuous to assume that all the racing slick options available in the GT series represents realistic levels of grip. This has been discussed to death and always will be. The Racing Softs are comically and unrealistically grippy. Just because a racecar or road car-turned-racecar has slicks "in real life!!!!", doesn't mean the most realistic option is to fit Polyphony Digital unobtanium Racing Softs.

You didn't specify in your original post that your recommendation to not buy the car was based on exclusive DS3 use. You did, however, assume that because you couldn't control it, no one should try.

A wheel being easier is debatable. Many try it and hate it. Many try and never look back.

I used to play with a wheel and it is to me an advantage because my seating position and view is better, however I'm sure it's not that easy with faster cars unless one sets his wheel to 360.

I liked playing with 400-550 hp cars and sometimes with clutch for fun.

Now I need to sell my V1 wheel and my club sport pedals which are in great condition still.

Guess I'm going to purchase a V2 bundle and a wheel stand.

What?
but it is honestly the greatest near-road-car in the game!

It's more a race car than a road car, but doesn't have race car downforce, let's say it's a TUNED car. Basically it's a Ferrari Enzo tuned by Ferrari. Tuning an FXX means you are tuning a tuned car, if that make sense. FXX already have insane power and accelleration. In real life the only things it needs to kick some Zonda R ass are a proper race car bodykit (front splitter, flaps, diffuser, huge rear wing) and slick tyres. That's it.

I don't see what you're saying, although I have not purchased the car I was curious about how horrible the sounds apparently are. After looking through quite a few videos, while it's not perfectly accurate it sounds like a FXX to a degree. Seems quieter and somewhat muffled though.

Hard to tell if you are trolling or not:lol: The sound of the car in the game is so far from the real car it's hard to tell if you're serious..

I'm being dead serious. However, mind you, I'm relying on videos for the sound. I'll make sure to post in here again once I've accumulated enough credits to buy it. And not be flat broke afterwards.
 
Have not earned enough to get it in GT6, I do have it in Forza4 and Horizon though. In Horizon it sounds like it will eat your lunch and then burn down the cafeteria! Amazing sound, so I hope PD has plans to fix it...soon!

Just took a quick look at the FXX in Horizon...much closer than GT6 for sure.

YES.

Where are front splitters, front flaps, proper race car diffuser, and huge rear wing to stick the car to the ground. PICS PLEASE. Oh wait there aren't.

Look this IS a race car.

And what's that it says, adjustable aero'?
Click to expand...
Adjustable aero doesn't make it a race car either.
 
Not at one single point did I state it was a race car. I stated it had adjustable aero and slick tyres.
 
The FXX stone stock corners and accelerates out great, but it does it at the expense of a car that wants to go sideways when giving it gas in a straight line, even at speed. It also weaves like a drunk sailor, especially under braking.

So I made this tune yesterday. All stock parts/tires except suspension and LSD. Hopefully it makes it into the pinned directory of tunes. It's as stable and predictable as I can make it. Please try it and let me know what you think.

Proper downforce? Lol. A splitter is a splitter. A diffuser is a diffuser. Air doesn't care what it's called.

Proper downforce means bigger, more extreme diffusers and splitters. By that logic, the spoiler from an Audi TT is just as effective as a massive Pikes Peak dirt trial car spoiler because "air doesn't care what it's called"

My logic says nothing about the effectiveness of 'proper' downforce producing devices. I merely highlighted the fact that saying an FXX doesn't have all of the said devices is false.

To state that producing more downforce will likely add more speed is unnecessary. Why don't you just say, "an FXX will be faster than a Zonda R if you add stuff to it until it's faster"? Isn't that true about every car ever produced?

What's your problem dude, can you actually realize the FXX does NOT produce the same downforce of a Zonda R nor a GT1 race car because wasn't Ferrari goal doing that? FXX is a TUNED car used for research and develop programm.
They already have done a race car out of Ferrari Enzo, it's called Maserati MC12 GT1.
That car feature the same engine and chassis of the Enzo. While being equiped with a different bodyshape and being limited by FIA rules (smaller rear wing compared to opponents and smaller front splitter) still managed to win GT1 championship 5 times in a row.
 
It slides around a lot (with racing mediums) and isn't really terribly fast. I'll try some other tunes but so far I'll take my Huayra over it in a heartbeat.
 
Is the FXX sound any better with a racing exhaust etc?

Credits are limited for me at the mo, and I was saving for the Mazda 787...

Is it worth the credits? Don't want to bother if it sounds like a hair dryer.

It's exponentially easier to drive faster cars with a wheel. It's the slower cars where ds3 and wheel see little difference.
 
Its a beast on Daytona, where most cars you cant hardly even drive on the track, fxx sticks all the way around. My top speed without nos on daytona is 265mph by myself at 34.9 laptime. 33.6 laptime with nos
