Feedback as promised mate:tup:
Went to my garage and did a bit of an inspection of the machine, looks fantastic by the wayJumped in and started the engine and took it out for a cruise around the 'ring. Doing some normal driving at first before opening up the throttle a bit, did notice a little oversteer but easily controlable.
From there went to the seasonals for a bit of racing, chose the 500pp Classic Car - Rome City Course (one of my fav tracks) and started was so impressed with the speed of the car from start then the cornering was awesome made my feeble drifting skills look like a pro, won the race very comfortably in the end by 16secs from the Ginette G4 with a fastest lap of 1:24.1.
So my feedback is totally positive buddy, great car looks and handling both fantastic, pleasure to drive and I'll be running a few miles up in this beauty re-doing the 500pp Classic Car seasonal
Thanks again mate, looking forward to the Brabus Black Arrow when I can get my hands on it
NOW THIS IS THE KIND OF FEEDBACK I'M LOOKING FOR! Awesome review zakyta_4. Thank you for all the compliments, I can see your driving style is probably quite a bit like my own between a bit of biased towards oversteer.
The car is setup just like the 250's. They didn't quite handle like they were on rails either and Ferrari's have always been a bit tail happy when compared to others like Lamborghini and Porsche. It's all in the balance, suspension, power-to-weight, and tires.
I'm so happy you dig this car so much. It's my go to car as well for classic racing, though I have yet to race it in the aforementioned 500pp classics challenge. I think I'll do that this afternoon.

Been so busy to write, but I took mine onto the deep forest track and drifted the entire thing. It was epic. It seems to have a ton of extra power at the top of 5th as it hits the rev limiter with ease at around 169 mph. But I know the gto topped out at around that.
Such a beaut I love the 250 and the sound is really nice too! Great job!

Thank you D! I wasn't meaning to come off like no one had properly reviewed; it was more of just me being stoked to see it's working as well as it should. Deep Forest Reverse is an awesome drift track; I tune for car balance using this track quite a bit because of the off-camber S-bends with elevation changes.
