Ok so maybe not only downforce, but I am having a problem with a few cars and it may be game related rather than setup related.
First car is my 2006 Ford GT (The one at the Ford dealership, not the black test car, just for absolute clarification)
I didn't see the setup specs before I started throwing parts at the car but I basically bought everything you can for the car, including front extensions and rear spoiler. Now the back spoiler I can adjust from 25-40 but then the front is greyed out and it has a 0. So adding front extensions does not increase front downforce apparently? Or do factory settings of this car have the front producing lift? (which wouldn't suprise me if it did honestly)
I ask this because of this

I do admit I was going kind of fast for that section of the track, I was doing about 160mph. But most of my cars at 160 the front might lift up a inch or the suspension will max out and the car is seemingly skimming across the road but I can hit my brakes and make the corner. But this car apparently wanted to be a plane. Also another problem with the car is that when going fast, I can put my analog stick full left, and the steering wheel on the in car view turns maybe 5 degrees. This occurs 175+ mph. But it turns fine, in fact maybe a little bit of oversteer, when going 145 and slower.
Second car has nearly the same problem, it's the Ferrari 599. But it handles great and very fun to drive, kick the ass end out if I want or grip and tear it up when I want to as well. But then once again, 170+ the car turns very very very little, and by the time i hit 190 the car literally does not turn at all.
Both of these could be due to the fact that GT5 and every other racing game I play, the faster I go the less the driver in the car turns the wheel. I don't care how fast I am going, if I want full lock right, the damn driver better do it. Like cars in this game that appear to understeer, in my eyes it looks more like the driver in the car isn't turning the wheel far enough. Even with understeer in real life, if you have it, just turn a little more and the car will turn more, but you will still have understeer, right? I do it all the time in my car when the roads are wet since I have some cheap hard compound low pro **** tires on my car. So maybe there is a way to fix this? Because the Ferrari 599 is great but the driver just doesn't turn the wheel at high speeds. He should turn it when I tell him to with the controller.
I guess my last car is the McLaren F1. That car is like driving a giant feather with a V12 on the back of it. I can get the front to lift up to see only sky on Trial Mountian with max front downforce.
So this could be partially that I am bad at the game and I cannot manage to get past top 300 on any of these time trial seasonal events, and it could also be partially because this game has some cars missing some elements.
P.S. My Ford GT has the front suspension height set to -20 front and -10 rear I do believe to get some rake, that suspension setup gave me what you see in that screenshot. With stock settings the car actually flipped all the way back onto it's roof and skid into the wall >.>
Sorry for long post.
