Enzo handling, anyone share the same problem?

[WesWelker83]

its abit like the merc mclaren slr.

I've always thought the same thing!!!! I've been having the same problem with the Enzo. Well actually I HAD the same problem but I've figured it out. the problem for me is it slows down way to much when the rear end slides out. I get too much oversteer with this car but I fixed it and I've greatly improved my lap times. You need to adjust the suspension if you're having the same problem. First adjust the ride height. Put the rear much lower than the front. this will get rid of the excessive oversteer if you do everything right. I actually have mine at -20 rear and +3 front. you don't need to go that low but it worked for me. If you lower the height though, you have to increase the spring rate. I have mine at 6 rear and 2 front. same w/damper, 6 rear and 2 front. most people don't but I usually put my rear Toe at -20 or -25 instead of +20 and the front at +5 instead of 0. So these settings have made my Enzo a million times easier FOR ME to drive
Ride Height- +3 Front and -20 rear
Spring Rate- 2 front and 6 rear
Damper- 2 front and 6 rear
Toe- +0.05 front and -0.25 rear
Camber- 1.0 Front and 1.5 Rear
The settings I stand by are the Ride Height's and the Spring Rates, the Toe is just a preference. I am open to suggestions

I just broke the 7minute barrier with the Enzo, and I slipped off the track at one point costing me a few seconds. I think your difficulty comes from the MR layout of the Ferrari which requires a much more precise and delicate control (which is hard to do on the PSP) compared with the GTR which is very forgiving by comparison.

Although R tires makes it easy, I think you should practice with N3 Tires, that will bring out the character in each car and show you what to do and what not to do. I think the R Tires hide a lot of the traits in a car and when you lose control, its often not as clear as to why you've done so.

I think you bring up a great point that I actually think goes for all of the real wheel drive cars. I have no trouble at all with real wheel drive cars in GT4 with my steering wheel but on the PSP I have to set the suspension for the most understeer for the car to be easy to drive the PSP. On the PSP or the steering wheel I have no problems with 4WD cars. Also, I love driving 4WD cars with no ASM and TCS @ 3 but with rear wheel drive cars I can hardly drive at all without ASM. I think oversteer is a bigger problem on the PSP when you're driving real wheel drive cars

This car has some steering difficulties. Only used it in that one challenge at the Cote de something place. It's like in GT4 when driving on Chamonix when on the road part, not the snow. It is hard to turn on that section of Chamonix.

Turns out that all you need to do is practice.
You'll have good reflexes so you can feel any slight oversteer and flick it back with countersteer quickly. And learning 3/4 - 1/2 turn with the nub is helpful too.

I scored 6.55.357 at the ring. And it was not the smoothest ride. There's plenty room for improvement.

I dont know about you guys but I dont adjust any settings of the car.

Now beating Bugattis in the ring is no hard task.

I love this car.

Just because I'm curious about how realistic the physics are on GTPSP time-wise, and I don't have it. What tyres are using to set these lap times?

My problem with the enzo is its huge tendency to UNDERSTEER in sports s3. I mean i rather be driving a saleen S7 because hes easier to turn and is faster (218) compare to the enzo (212)

Worst 1,000,000 dollars ever spent

I did a 6:55 in the Enzo last year(see wat i did thar?). I was taking it easy, just trying to complete a clean, mistake-less lap on the first try.

The Enzo's top speed int the game is different to real life. It's like its top speed has been limited.

 

[Peter]

The real Enzo tops out at at most 230mph. In the game it's about 210. Just 20 mph. No biggie unless you're at Test Course.

Nooo, its not that bad.. keep driving it, I'm sure you'll master it soon.
Once you're good at it, you get better at other cars too.

They are using R3's to break the 7 minute barrier.

I have used S3's to get a time of 7min 36sec, while on N3's I have a lap of 8min 13sec. The lap record for the Enzo around Nurburgring is somewhere like the 7min 25sec. My lap on the N3's isn't the best, and it would take a lot of practice with the PSP to get it under 8minutes, with a wheel I would say the lap record wouldn't be far off. I think you'd be using S1 tires for the Enzo for an accurate reflection of lap time.

The physics aren't bad (well to me they feel like GT5P physics, which are pretty impressive for the PSP), its the limitations of the controls of the PSP to come close to the real life lap records in GTPSP.

Thanks, Lionface.

The problem I have with the Enzo isn't lack of practice, but the way the car is portrayed in this game. I just can't believe a real life Enzo is that bad in the handling department. Hell, it even makes a Speed 12 feel tame in comparison.

That said, I think the secret to driving this car is to not drive it at its limits. Rather at 95% of its full potential because when this car oversteps its limits, it does so violently and suddenly, making it impossible to recover.

I thought the Enzo was extremely good in everything and that made the people at Ferrari so proud they named it the Enzo.
But it doesn't seem as good as it sounds like in GTPSP, thought it was supposed to be really good as Ferrari do make great cars and this was supposed to be one of their lgendary cars.

Just remember that in real life you have analog throttle and brake controls. And also, most people that could afford an Enzo would never push it to 100%. Like LeGeNd-1 said, if you keep it around 95% it should be fine

It's not a car that likes to be driven on the limit. Instead if you are gentle / smooth with the Enzo you will be rewarded with fast lap times.

I haven't driven the real thing but I would guess it's an absolute nightmare to drive given the power to weight ratio.

Maybe thats why they made the FXX. That car is good at everything. see top gear.

sometimes i wonder why they didnt made enzo with 4WD instead?
I'm sure it will be godly.
