One thing I think is evident here is that it's definitely different strokes for different folks.

Do you mean the short tail one in the LCD right now? Yes, I got that one and I loved it the first time out. I’ve tuned it a little bit, but it really didn’t need much. I’m using it in some Gr.3 events and am having a blast!

Not by a long shot. The F30 and 458s are two of my favorite cars in the game, the F12 and F8 are great too, totally stock on SH tires. They have wonderful balance and are poseable however you want. You definitely can't just mash the throttle on them whenever you want, but they are fantastic cars regardless.
I thought the FXX K was awesome to drive, and one of the more "realistic" cars with the way it reacts on slicks. Very bouncy and springy on its sidewalls. It's not easy to drive, but it's not anywhere near impossible, and it's crazy fast. If you give it some time, it really is an excellent thing.
As for the F12...
The F12, once again totally stock on SH, is insanely fun to drive, you just have to be very careful with the throttle. The only thing I would say is lacking on it is brakes, you need to give a LOT of room for braking, partly because it's so insanely fast. Once you get it in your head that you can only go full throttle when you're absolutely planted, the thing is a super poseable murder machine that can take down much bigger foes. The thing is with these sensitive Ferraris, is that this leads to them doing anything you want when you get the hang of how to drive them. You can choose under or oversteer whenever you want, or keep them grippy by learning to stay below their limits.
All these are driven ABS only by the way. You don't need TCS, just to learn how to manage throttle, like with any car. Once you do, all these Ferraris are amazing.
Now, the BMW GR3 I get. It's a big fat pig, and takes SO MUCH steering input (turning WAY into understeer) to make it comply, then you counter that with insane snap when the turbos kick off, and it's a handful in anything slow. At speed it's a total brute, and the downforce helps to keep it settled, but it's still never really comfortable. There are many GR3 cars that don't fight you the whole time, and that makes the BMW a distant choice for me.
The Ford GT was flat out broken the last time I tried it, but I haven't gone back to it since 1.13, so I need to give it another shot.

I couldnt even tell you... all I do in this game is use the tomahawk in tokyo to get credits and buy cars...I dont even use them I just collect really so I can get every car in the game... But the lame part of the game is not being able to use any car in any race... most of my cars I have to use in arcade mode just to use them

Corvette Stingray Racer Concept.
Even on racing tyres, it always wants to skid about.

Initial torque 5
Acceleration sensitivity 5
Brakes 60
Add weight/ballast and make it a 50/50 or 47:53 max. Keep the body height straight 10 difference max. Make the suspension stiffer
I have a tune do you want it ? It can do 8 laps without a pit on the 800pp sargendea

To be honest, I find all the ancient legendary cars' handling pretty bad… and they each cost 20 million credits, so…

It wasn’t the controllability, it just simply wasn’t fast enough for what I was trying to compete with at the time (I think it was the BMW book? Can’t remember).

This car can handle both supercharger’s it just they use to much fuel during the race

Please send them to me. Thanks again!
Your tune for the 20M Shelby Daytona is a dream to drive at Lemans 700pp (TC-1 in the rain, 2 stops, thirsty girl) and I've lapped the field a few times in only for races. Will never do Tokyo again!!
Much rather put these old cars to work. Ferrari '67 330, '61 250 GT and Alpine A220 could be fun.

LOL, suggesting people drop their LSD to 5 just to have a driveable car. LOL, do you guys understand what an LSD dropped to 5 does?
Tune your transmission first. Suspension second. Last thing you should do is lower the LSD.
Your end goal should be to have the LSD as high as you can handle and to control your throttle coming out of curves. Never start your tuning with the LSD.

Chaparral 2J. Fun to drive, but where? Needs more eligible events to get some of that 2.5M back. Same goes for all the Tuned/race cars. Too few places to go that don't require too much of my time and playing pit stop gas and go with guess the weather tire changes.

Sure, some of us know what a low-sprung or low tension LSD acts like. An open diff. But this isn't real life, and it's clear there are many things in GT7 that don't even come close to replicating when it comes to the way real life chassis changes affect car handling.
Not only does initial torque at just about anything over 5 lead to almost instant lock up, there's an unusual trait in 7 where the cars seem to keep rear wheel inertia up even when the throttle is dropped, leading to sometimes uncatchable oversteer. This is especially prevalent in older cars in my experience. I don't know which metric makes this happen, whether it's braking torque, accel torque, or what, but with initial torque I always start at 5, then work my way up until I can have a nice balance of oversteer when needed to change car attitude.
My real life car has a very tight diff in it, and it just doesn't behave in a way that GT7 is representative of. It doesn't wildly back itself into corners or have unforgiving oversteer in any situation, whether it be track or street, but the in game RX7 tuned to a similar level is a chore to drive with pretty much any high LSD settings, and an FD in real life is almost never a chore to balance. It's very known for it's even and beautiful chassis balance. GT7 does not replicate this well.
I love GT7, but the tuning aspects of it are especially strange, and do not work like they do in real life. This goes for much more than just LSD settings.
In the game, low LSD settings usually leads to a easier to drive car that isn't so twitchy. This is something that many people and prominent sim racers online or YT have found as well, so people have been inclined to do it, and it has been proven to work.
Tune how you like, but don't go railing on people about how you think their settings are wrong, because unless they're doing something really unusual, they probably aren't.
