Default 944T Forza 2 Brethren HELP!

I have been trying for about 2 hours to get used to my 944 in Forza 2.
The car has full upgrades (I had some extra money) hehe, and is now like freaking UNCONTROLLABLE!!!! The back end lets go really really easily, and once it lets go it is terribly hard to catch.
Its bad enough that I couldn't even finish 1 lap of the nurburgring.

I don't have a clue how to do suspension work and I dont really want a "just play with it" answer...
Can someone post their specs/ what numbers to use? I want to lay waste to people on live with it, but if its uncontrollable, I can't.
Thanks

That would be worth it in my book.

Every time I upgrade the 944T in Forza II I give it maybe 320 hp max. The big turbos make it too much of a handful, especially when it is lightened and without rear downforce. I can put in better lap times with a 300 hp 944 that is finely tuned than one with 500 hp.

always consider rear toe and rear dampening. I don't know if forza makes the reat toe as dynamic as the 944 is in real life. Something I learned autocrossing was that, especially with old bushings and hardware, rear toe will change depending on how much weight is on the back.

Oh man this is easy. Just google "Forza car calculator". I did it for my completely modified 944 in Forza and it turned out spectacular.

First hint. Set the tire pressure up front and out back to be about 29psi.

ok, that's the link of the day... Here I am just trolling the forums and come upon this nugget and now I have to play Forza all weekend!

I've weened myself from it since the tuning was getting too time involving and I had too much to do.

Gotta get the pipe out again! Thanks!

lol my gamertag is Turtletron...

My 951 is one of my fastest cars, but I spent a lot of time tuning it to that "just perfect" stage.

I'm UHAD2POINT, but I mainly play halo 3. My 944T is white with some blue checkered flag stuff. It does't say "pwnd" though

Yeah its completely max'd out. I really don't play forza as much as I'm more of a Halo3 kind of guy. I got to the MLG "pro circuit" in Halo 2 but only in FFA as I never found players good enough around here to go into teams with.. So I got stuck in regionals
