Corvette

Sweet car! Nice car! With that American rumbling, snarling engine sound that is as distinctive as is the roaring of the Ferraris. The Corvette is very nice to drive as it understeers slightly, but yet it is precise and well-mannered.

Saleen

The Saleen was a positive surprise, I'd expected it to be very understeery and hard to get round corners, but it's quite the opposite. It seems well balanced, nicely mannered. And of course it looks very good too!

Porsche GT3

The Porsches are numerous in their GT2 and GT3 specifications. As is the case for all the cars, you get the choice of which team to race with.

Rear-engined, rear wheel-drive, lots of horsepower and mash the gas on corner exit and you're history. Right?

Wrong!?!

Perhaps it's because the supplied setups are beginner-friendly? The brake balances seem to be too far forward. Perhaps I need to adjust the sensitivity slider for the throttle?

Initially I had a hard time initiating a power-slides in the Porsches, the cars that are famous for it's tail-happiness, once you go too hot into a corner and lift off. They behave like there is a turbo lag; below a certain number of rpm's they are very docile, but when the rpm's pick up, suddenly the car starts to become a beast.

The Porsche GT2 is turbocharged! That would explain the delayed reaction to the throttle.

The GT3 seems to be well-mannered as long as you show it the respect it deserves.

After reading a few posts regarding setups on RaceSimCentral, I experimented with softer, more oversteery or neutral handling setups.

Generally the default setups seem to be too stiff and too understeery. Try lowering the front anti-roll bar to approximately "100", decrease the tire pressure... especially at the rear (that will also help reduce that feeling of driving on four balloons), and perhaps fit slightly softer springs at the rear as well.
