I dunno if anyone is still running the C60 (which is what the GT4 Pescarolo is). Most of the new Courages are the C65 with different power (teams work out their own engine deals).
The Audi R8s would be your best comparison I think. Still the same ole car and motor.
I would bet they are running tires far harder then we have available to us in the game, and I have yet to see any speed trap times. Next week we can do a more accurate race since we'll know their speed trap times and how many laps they are doing between pit stops. Then we can adjust tires accordingly and run a little test.

We'll know soon what the pit strategies are and whether we can run a fairly accurate comparison.

also, you may be giving it too much throttle in the middle of the turn... causing it to oversteer. ease up on the throttle and it should turn.

Trail Brake that hog - make it stick it's ass out and then hit the throttle. Wheeeee.
I actually kinda like the S7. It's sooooo long that it makes power oversteer a little easier to control. It's slow that way but fun. Might also wanna try one compound softer on the front tires. I tend to do that on some cars - helps with turn in and makes your rears last a little longer - kind of a personal preference though.
By the way - I've been running Nurburgring Enduros unattended this week (haven't had much time to sit down and play). Got 2 more F1 colors. I'm thinking now it'd be cool to have the whole set.

btw the following will minimise understeer..... don't do them all at once though because then you may really mess up the handling - try them one at a time to optimally find out the difference:
more negative front wheel camber
more positive rear wheel camber
less front wheel toe in
less rear wheel toe out
softer front springs
stiffer rear springs
less forward weight distribution
you could also:
decrease front tire pressure
increase rear tire pressure
if you could.

I used Nissan R92CP @ N-Ring. Leaded by 32 laps over the 2nd place car at the end of the race.

HOly crap. Anyone drive the Aston Martin DB9 Coupe. I bought it instead of the V12 Vanquish due to the higher torque and lighter weight. I did exhaust, chip, and Level 1 weight and the car was pretty badass. Awesome pick up. Had power everywhere in the band. Reminded me of the Z06 with the RWD torque.

I was bored the other day so I bought a Supra RZ and a PDG CL-S. I have way too much money ($9.5mill) and still have over 100 days left for the black beauties.

Hadn't played GT4 in awhile so I fired it up the other day. I got my S license so I could do the Extreme Events. I did them all except the GT Championship - man, that thing is gonna take FOREVER.
But the Sauber is worth it.

Man this GT Championship is kicking my ass. I've qualified first for every race, Bspec driver is over 7000 points, and most races I'm at 5 (Push). Lots of babysitting needed for these races!
After 4 races - 2 firsts, 1 second, and 1 sixth
