When playing with the controller, I believe there is a certain amount of automatic counter-steering that the game does for you (or something with the steering ratio), which isn't there on the fanatec wheel (unless I enable drift mode).

yes I freakin knew the wheel settings were messed up, this guy totally confirms it. I hate how even a little input sends the wheel to full lock, its rediculous and defeats the purpose of having a wheel. I use the wheel so I could feel like I am driving a real car and easily make subtle adjustments. Instead this stupid Microsoft wheel oversteers like crazy and literally feels like it has a mind of its own, now I know why, because it DOES have a mind of its own.

I have a S60R with the kit as well

R8 + TE-37's FTW!

And my S15 is only a D class, so it hasn't reached it's full potential. I love driving it though. It's RWD as of right now and I plan on making it stupid fast eventually.

Hellz yeah

I have my Continental GT for my VIP look. Unfortunantly Turn 10 didn't put the option to mess with wheel offsets

If I could push the wheels out more, these shots would be sick:

It sounds like I should put my money into my car or a DSLR camera instead of a steering wheel.

^That's what I'm really saving for right now. Santa was generous this year with some cash and with my birthday coming in March, I'll probably just wait and see what that brings me.
