Is it just me or do the cars not handle as well as they should? Ive got a c6z decked out with everything and have adjusted all the settings you normally would and it still seems to push through the turns bad. I adjusted the brake bias so I can tap the brakes and sling the *** end out to make it through turns better but damn its like driving a damn truck.

You can't brake and turn at the same time. At least not very hard. Brake, turn and then start getting back into the throttle easily.

I actually think they did really good at making them drive realistic. Too much brake or too much speed and your going to go straight, just like real life.

I think cruisin USA would be a better game for you.

X2, this game has similar physics to the original which I liked. I hated the way forza 2 felt, but it seems they have done a much better job with them in this game. And you're exactly right on the handling/braking. Any friction used to brake cannot be used for turning. Pretty much the idea behind ABS brakes, but when you're going 80+ mph and taking a turn with the brakes slammed, its not going to take it very well.

One thing I do not like is the extreme understeer in the high powered AWD cars

The only part that I'm haveing a hard time with, is tuning. I can't get **** correct with it so I just always leave my cars stock with badass mods. I'm sure I make up with playing skills but if I could tune a car really good, I'm sure I would be alot happier with my rwd cars because all they want to do is burnout lol.
