What car is THE most difficult car to tune. I want to try an experiment with a few of the worst.

I had a hell of a time trying to tune a maxed out 300c

Oh crap. I cannot edit the poll. Ok. Just post your most challenging cars and I'll update the OP.

The '69 GT40 for me...

 

[yoghurt_dog]

Lamborghini Countach '88 special (can't remember the exact model name). Spent weeks just trying basic suspension changes and to be honest I don't know if it's made any difference at all. Got so bored of trying I stopped playing GT5 for a couple of months

Good it was not a Yellow Bird, if not you'll play GT only in another life...
Don't think the lambo a nightmare to tune, it's a very good ,fast and safe car.Try this if it help.

I'd have to go for one of those insane French hatchbacks with the V6 crammed in where the back seat used to be. Especially going max build on them.

Wheelbase of a golf cart and huge amounts of HP and torque.

Wow no one said the ferrari 330p, whatever that 60's model is. Next was the yellowbird, but I eventually worked it out. As for the ferrari...I gave up and took it for a lost/waste of credits. Also agree with praiano63, Enzo was a PITA, but I worked that one out as well.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Shelby GT350R

I think For me it would have to be the Pagani C12 no matter what I did it either over steered or under steered or thought it would be fun to throw in some torque steer into the mix as well, haven't looked at it for a while it just sits there and looks pretty...

Tank car.......seriously?

Yellowbird isn't that difficult to tune. It's just not that easy to drive.

It depend if the gas tank is "half full" or "half empty". In my opinion.

The same can be said for quite a few cars and I think it gives the false impression that they're hard to tune.

The Enzo can be tuned to be very fast, but it takes a lot of work to get it into a competitive state, so I'd say that's one of the most difficult cars to tune for sure.

 

[sheephead99]

Enzos can't carry speed through corners, well in my experience anyway.

I have taken three runs at tuning the Yellow Bird. I even got so sick of looking at the Yellow color that I painted it black... so I'm tuning an evil Black Bird. I have improved the car about 4 seconds over stock, but haven't been completely happy with the tune. Probably need to just finish it and post it? It's probably just the car and not the tune.

A lot of the vintage cars are absolute nightmares to tune, but for me I would say that the Triumph Spitfire is by far the worst which kills me because it is one of three or four cars in the game that I have any amount real experience with in the real world. Otherwise it appears that I have some sort of knack for tuning these aforementioned trouble makers (at least for my own use). The thing to remember with the Pescarolo, FGT, Enzo, and the other super high end cars is that they were designed to make use of traction control, otherwise they would be very much undriveable. I understand about the bias about "noobs" and the like that use TCS, but the only way to give the cars some semblance of a real world feel is to set them up as they are in the real world.

Thanks! I'll try that one, think I was probably using sports hard tyres for the Lambo race in Professional hall.

So with your tuning the car is set up nicely for any track right? And all I'd have to do is adjust the final gear setting to the longest straight...and the individual gear ratios would remain properly tuned with each other?

Thanks dude, The whole gear ratios tuning is probably the one aspect of tuning I really haven't got around to figuring out yet. I've always relied on the so called 'tranny trick' in GT2 and GT4 in the past but not sure if that works in GT5 yet. Not that I can remember how to do it

Impossible to forget the LOTUS EUROPA.
