NO!, i have it, its slow for the amount of HP and it corners like crap


It is a hard car to handle but if you know how to drive it it is a dream.

With the rear engine you have to be careful lifting off the gas on corners.. if you do very sutle throttle responces the car will reward you.

Also i dunno how you can say slow for the amount of hp.. at 700 whatever hp is sups up too it is faster then the fully upgraded Ford GT and just behind the 1000 hp Viper in the 1/4 mile.

i re tuned my GT and Viper and Supra and they are all faster, ALOT faster. That porsche is too heavy to corner as aggressively as i can with other stuff and it doesnt stop good. also, no matter what i adjust with the suspension is just doesnt turn well, also i cant get it to mooooooove.

Exactly Knight, there's a proper way to handle the Yellow Bird, and if you do it just flat out moves. In the license test with that car I found the best approach was to take corners a little faster than you might want to. That first corner I hit and I got that car cocked just a bit sideways, smoke coming off the tires, just a little. And it was so smooth as to be unbelievable. I wish I had saved that replay so I could figure out how to get it onto my PC. It was a flawless 4-wheel drift, which I didn't know was possible with a controller...

I saved the replay on my yellowbird license test... i ended up beating the gold time by a few seconds.

4 wheel drift? its a rear drive car so i'm not sure what you mean.

I challenge your Supra in a Nruburgring shootout!

All and any mods you want to put on your car.... except for Nitrous.

We'll see if your Supra can match my times with the Yellowbird!

Once I get the PS2 back from my brother's overobsessive hands, I'll give it a go... It's gonna be hard to beat that time though

Which road car to use?

Well I saved up for a looooonnnngggg time and I bought the Panoz Esperante GTR le mans car. That and the Corvette C5R are my best handling cars.

I also use the Option Nissan Z. It's sluggish at the lower RPM's despite the 900+ hp but great at the higher RPM's

Still havent touched the PS2 yet... brother has it.

Do you drive manual or auto?

In GT2 and GT3 i always drove manual...but i stopped because the car still retains the same gear ratios in auto and it shifts fine most of the time.

I think the Ford GT has the potential to beat my yellowbird.

I drove the Supra myself to see waht kind of times he would run but i don't even know if he accepted the challenge since he never posted.
