Yellow bird handling

dude your brother car was AWD, the RUF CTR aka yellowbird is RWD and is based on the NORMAL 964, not the widebody turbo know as the 930.

 

Fully aware guy...but chassis on that car did not roll all over the place either.
Lots of oversteer is inherent to all rear-engined Porsche, but they don't roll around in their suspensions.
That's what makes them so much fun to drive.

 

I think you should shut up instead of sharing your immense ignorance and incapability to drive to the world.

 

I also think Kunos was wrong with the Ruf's handling, look at this, no wallowing/wobbling/whatever , almost no tailhappiness:

Definitely still a better game on handling and stuff, than the newer titles released. EA what are you doing, EA stahp, #freePorscha

 

Porsche unleased... Best nfs, together with most wanted.

 

I actually think the performance of the CTR is amazing, looking at the fact that it is an almost 30 year old street car without any electronic assistance like ABS or ESP.

And to the OP, mind that you can adjust the turbo for more power.

 

I think he needs less power

 

What am i looking at here? Aside from the obvious mcpherson strut, what's this picture supposed to mean to me?

 

I feel like the RUF is a bit overpowered. Once boost is on 10% it handles like I would expect a classic porsche to handle.

 

It's no classic Porsche! It's a Ruf.

 

Shouldn't a vehicle what was the fastest streetcar in the world at the end of the '80s be a bit overpowered in the first place?
And why cut down the boost? It's a RUF CTR fgs not a 'classic Porsche' , it's mayhem for many people but for me it's more than very well drive/driftable. Already stated in this thread, probably the physically 'best' car Kunos made to date(apart from E30 M3, 458 imho)
Are here still people who haven't seen the irl '80s driving video on the Nordschleife yet? Pfff...

If people want no wallowing/wobbling/sliding etc. I suggest travelling by train.

No need to eductate me guys, just stated what first came to my mind. I am aware that apart from the body/engine it shares not much with a Porsche. Just felt that its interesting how on low turbo this is a completely different car.

 

Not even the 964 but the model before it, 911 3.2. That's indeed a mayor difference to the 993 BiTurbo.

 

Just for fun, I searched on youtube other games with the ruf yellowbird. I remember to drive this ruf on gran turismo 4.. but I don't remember the handling, I was too young to acknowledge such things.



Some more:

 

Funnily enough I just won it in Gran Turismo 4 and I used the same setup as I use in AC, it's actually quite similar. Punishes you for braking too late and has the nice off throttle oversteer that let's you dive into corners.

 

Look again! Its not struts. Its trailing arms rear suspension. Classic Porsches all had them and, although they make for a fun drive, they're very inefficient.

 

Yeah!....because you just know me so well, that you know I'm incapable of driving the car...even in AC.
Wow! You've got some fu**kin' nerve.
My first job right out of school was as a Porsche mechanic.
For the next ten years, I drove several track outings with different models.
I'll just sit over here with my ACTUAL Porsche driving experiences and be quiet.
Nothing else to say on this topic...

 

I hope KS hire you so the cars will start to drive more like as in real life.
