I just drove the AM DB9 through London and it was quite a handful, although being very sensitive. Then it was also bouncing all over the place like it was some old school american muscle car on jacked up suspension? Wtf?

The lay-out of the game with the career and tuning opportunities is great, but it falls quite short on the driving sensation. I really hope that EA will release a patch to neutralize the cars a bit. Then it would be something nice and entertaining until GT5 comes out.

I'll give it another go tomorrow and see if I can adapt the settings to a more sensible setting.
It feels too arcade-ish, the driving is not realistic its boring full throttle in a turn wont even spin a modified GT500.

Are you using steering/braking assists?

Are you using a wheel or something? That's impressive. My hands literally look like a spider when I'm trying to use the joysticks, it's so uncomfortable.

Ahhhh, yeah the 360 controllers for me were much more comfortable... I'm using a PS3 now though, smaller controller.

I just went and got it. I couldn't take reading about all these Porsches finally being in a game and not having it. Downloading the the HDD as we speak. So what cars did you guys start off with?

Started with an Audi S3 and then moved on to the RS4. Tuned that beast up to 780hp!!! Now I'm running around in a green LP-560-4 with all mods possible.
