the trickiest car to drive ever
Im just like to know which car is the trickiest for driving ever in the history of the car for other members...i mean the car that requires the most skillful abilities to drive it into the limit or in wet
for me the decision is not very clear....but there you go 3 cars
- the 1978 porsche 911 turbo (4 speed gearbox) (back engine, no setting for understeering, an engine with a big punch, no progressivity)
- the renault alpine gt turbo(a car with identhical philosophy to the porsche 911, with a brutal garret turbo in it....a very high limit due to the tyres and suspension, but brutal on limits)
- the renault 5 turbo tour de corse.....a mid-engined car, but with a very short wheel base....and a big turbo in the car to get about 285bhp for a 1400 engine

LOL...I remember the outtakes where JC crashed one of those into the camera car hehehe. One of the trickiest on-limit handlers out there is definetely the Ford RS200 in full rally trim, it had massive power and a very short wheelbase, which made it snap-oversteer rather suddenly.

Old 911's
The concept is wrong, it's quite an accomplishment Porsche can built cars like they do today sticking to that concept...

I think a TVR speed 12 would defy the average driver on the edge or in the wet.
Cheers,

after i bought it, i realized that fox body mustangs with stock suspension are absolutely terrible in anything other than a bright sunny day. In the rain, it slides all over the road, and has no rear-end grip whatsoever.

For all of you saying the Jag XJR-15, you must have heard that from Jeremy in one of his videos. It does seem very hard to drive but I don't think this question could really be answered unless we drove the cars ourselves. And there are so many to choose from too.

i think the engine in the xj-15 was mounted too high (like an extra inch)
but if it was raced it can be driven well i'm assuming.
i don't know the hardest, but i know the car that has a hard limit to get to is the viper gts. very few people can use the cars full potential imo
