Fastest and Best Handling Supercar?

Ferrari-F10-2010
Ive brought several supercars how ever ive never owened the lot nor have i had enough in one place to compare them.
Now ive found (Excluding the Veyron) i can get an Enzo well over 250 Mph yet it is terrible going around corners. Same story with the Viper ACR. But i need something that combines speed with handling or if i can make either the acr or the Enzo able to corner . Any ideas?
Cheers
 
I got a stock enzo and think it takes corners just fine long as i break properly for them.

Same with the mclaren f1.

I mean these are supercars out of the box or hyper cars or whatever they are calling them now days, i remember the good old days when they were just exotic cars. But you do not need to put every upgrade on them to make them super super cars, and if you do be prepared to spend days tweaking the suspension to make them drivable again.

My advice drive the cars stock before you start throwing everything on.
 
You dont understand ive entered a Top Gear CHallenge with about 8 others and some of the tracks such as Circuit de la sarthe, Monza and Special Stage 7 need speed yet others such as Nurburgring 24h require a good handling cars. the rules are simple it was any supercar (except the veyron) and you can spend unlimited amount of credits on modifications. ive improved the handling slightly on the Enzo but it just isnt right. two of the races are Drag Race and Top Speed test. so thats why i need to modify the car. as silly as it sounds Gran Turismo 4 was better in a sense you made the car better with your modifications whilst with 5 you sacrifice Handling for speed

Well mistake no 1 is modifying them to go 250mph.

Keep these cars fairly stock, or tune them with parts that can be reversed back to standard. Don't do irreversable tuning like weight reduction or NA engine tuning, wait until you have alot of supercars, then test them stock and you'll see the good and bad points of each.

There have been SO MANY people who have come on to this forum asking what's wong with an Enzo, the answer is nothing, it's a brilliant car.

But tune it to the maximum and putting soft racing tyres on it just totally ruins it. My enzo is still on sport tyres, it's now got round 700bjhp and it's superb, a joy to drive. All I did was add the 4500 suspension package and stiffened the suspension, it corners fine, no problem.

The best supercar is really down to the driver of it, what they like, what they prefer and what their driving style and skill is.

What have you done to the Enzo's suspension - what rear toe setting is currently on there??

Have you got the Gallardo 560, murcialago 670QV or tommykiara ZZII??

The SLS AMG is a very very good car, it might not have the top speed and acceleration of a Veyron, but it's handling is supreme.

Save your money, don't max out a car, keep them fairly stock, build a collection and then compare them and see which one you feel most comfortable with, then start to develop it, slowly...

👍
 
I'd put the 458 Italia up on the list, maybe as high or even higher than the Enzo. The Bugatti in GT5 is not the best one they could have included as it can't turn for the life of it.
 
I think in terms of potential, not much will touch the Zonda R, but its a hand full to handle. The GTR-V Spec is probably one of the best all around cars, and because its a Skyline, it's extra fast in GT :)
 
Tommykiara ZZII was epic in GT4.

I did some testing since I have alot of the cars mentioned. First Lap one lap tests. Zonda R is buy far the fastest times, but like just mentioned its pain to control adjustments could correct that. The Audi R8 and Enzo seemingly posted roughly same times both handled well. But the surprise is and I know I might catch flak for this, the Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR '08 posted better times then both the R8 and Enzo and wasent to far off the Zonda R. And believe it or not wasn't to hard to control, for being 1000hp thats not to bad.

But thats all me, your driving style my differ somuch that none of those cars maybe right for you who knows. But personal opinion, Zonda R or Viper. Correction after some testing, Lambo Mercy 670-4 SV '09, Moved the 4wd to the rear somewhat 25/75, reduced then LSD on Accelerate by 5 on both the front and rear, also lowered it by -10mm on both front and rear and the thing drives awesome and decent times near the Viper.

I dont know why they would not allow the Veyron, it may have epic straight line speed, but the heavy beast lumbers around corners... Pulled about the same time as the Viper I tested.

I tried the Speed 12 also, drove like a tank. After a lot of tuning I got to it drive somewhat nice enough to do a lap, ended up a couple seconds slower then the Viper.
 
Tommy Kiara tuned will probably win, however I haven't tried it so I don't know for sure, even if it doesn't win its not 60,000 gone to waste.
 
I know its modded but I'd like to mention the Corvette ZR-1 RM ... It goes around the Nurburgring in 6.28 (Standing start lap) I reckon though I could get it to around 6 minutes (I don't really push though tbh, not as much fun). I took it around Nurb 24 Hours in the wet in about 8.30 (With only ABS on, no TC etc.) Wasn't the best lap but I built up a lead of over a minute against vipers and veyrons who where using TC Level 5 etc.

I have also won several drag races with it, such as on the top gear track by just shortening the transmission up.

Le Sarthe may be trickier depending on the competition, I think it clocks out at about 230 but I haven't dragged that distance, I use the Audi R8 instead as that clocks out at 260 in a draft.

The veyron will handle though, I find you use AWD for the initial start and then you make it practically RWD for the corners, AWD on long straights though. Then you have to be gentle on the throttle and get a good suspension set up. I think if you have farely stiff dampers and softer springs then you should be ok (I'm guessing a set up off top of my head btw)

Zonda R should be fastest, it's a track car not a road car. Legally you can't drive it on the road, so it's not bound by the limitations of being a road car.

I think it's sold with slicks as standard in real life.

ZZII :)
 
ZR-1 RM & Viper GTS-R Team Oreca Race Car '00 (I got #51) OK it’s a race car and not a supercar but it sports an adjustable splitter and handles much better than the ACR despite having 200 BHP less max power.
 
I too find the ZR-1 RM handles really well and isn't short on speed :)

The SLS, 458 and Gallardo are also good cars, just buy the areo mods and the 4500cr suspension and change the ride height on pretty much any thing and then your away :P
 
If you know what you're doing, pouring money into cars is good, even with irreversible modifications, I mean, that's why they're there, to improve performance.

Problem is, it really messes with the car's balance, after all, these cars have been tweaked to near perfection with the original car to start with, so adding completely new components, messes it up, big time. That's where you come in, it's upto you to fine tune her to perfection again, which trust me, takes a lot of doing if you're not certain about what to do.
 
In GT4 my fastest car on the nurburgring was my ZZ-II second behind my skyline though(cheated with that car). I put all my fastest street cars through the test.
 
ZR1 Race modded basically won the game for me, didn't have any race cars and needed a affordable bullet. ZR1 fit that, better then those 5mil and up race cars.

If they allow Race mods, the 905hp ZR1 (RM) is a good choice or the 928hp Zonda R. If you can control it.
If they don't allow racing mods, Mercy Mercy 670-4 SV would be my choice.
I haven't came a crossed the ZZ-II in GT5 yet, but unless it outputs more Horsepower then most cars its not going to beat a Race modded car, unless the driver of the RM car sucked that is.

True, but the ZZII is 4wd and can be lightened to 900kgs, that's 200kgs less than the ZR1 RM. With the engine at the rear and less weight, theoretically it should be faster in corners.

The power to weight ratio's are not going to be massively different but with 4wd it will have the advantage of grip, either from a standing start or in lower gears. It'd be an interesting contest.

But the 4WD causes understeer, so you can't fly throw corners as fast.

The ZZII is a monster in the corners with very little understeer. It dives in nicely, and leaps out with ferocity. The only thing that holds it back a bit is its lack of overall downforce, when compared to the ZR1 RM.
 
The ones on my list right now for fastest and best handling are:

ZR-1 RM
Gallardo lp 560-4
SLS AMG
McLaren F1


those are the ones that pop into my head right now. I'm sure there's more. I really don't use the 458 italia for some strange reason, so I didn't add it on the list. It is definitely fast, even around corners, but I really feel the gallardo does a better job. Maybe the gallardo just fits my driving style better.
 
Understeer in 4WD cars can normally be corrected with some tuning. Ask my poor Lambo Mercy 670-4 SV, its got an issue with oversteer after a lot of changes, and that's with the 4WD still set at 50/50.

I know the ZZII has that wide but short wheel base which has always made it a monster in the handling department with the 4wd. You are right it would be interesting to see them go head to head. I'll haft to force myself to get one just try to compare the two. But my money is still on the ZR1 heh.
 
Best handling RWD supercar (road) in the game is the Nissan R390 GTi Road car, no competition period.

But if youre looking for a even better handling car, id suggest u look for a 4WD such as the R8
