What are your tyre widths and better yet... what is your sportiness and tameness value.
Re: Pre-wedge era supercar (Download added)
Post your track times for a comparable mid engined car (ca 1965) so we can compare them.
I already compared them to many other cars. An 1100 cc car can do 2:41, so I dont see how a a 4.2L car could take 3:00 minutes.
It even happens on the airfield track where the hp advantage should be even greater.

If you put a huge engine on a car with narrow tyres, you will have lots of wheelspin and a hard car to drive, both things will make it slower around a track. There is a limit to what cars can handle through their tyres, and once you are passed that limit, you will only make things worse.
I have downloaded your car, and having 0.2 tameness and 19 sportiness is a sign of a terrible car. It isn't balanced and of course it won't handle.
In 10 mins or so, I should have a lap time.

I am not going to help such unfriendly people... dude serious, work on your attitude
How come you think that much power equals a good track time? High power does not equal good performance on a track.

Seriously, click on "Detailed Stats" and you see whats affecting what... build a responsible 1.2L City Hatchback and you see how it buffs out.
0.2 Tameness means you try to use a very twitch car, with sponge brakes and bicycle wide tyres. I have not looked at you car, as i can GUESS the problem just by reading some stats.
You build a mediocre car and blame that the game sucks... just look at what other people build and learn.
If you dont care for "artificial" metrics, dont complain if your cars suck.

It's not a superb lap time, but the car has some pointless luxuries like a radio and insulation.
It also has a magnificent 4.1 liter all aluminium V8 with 4 Weber carbs.
So if a barely optimized 1974 tech version of that body can do 2:38, the car can definitively get better laptimes.
As for sportiness and tameness, those indicate how sporty the car is and how easy to drive it is. While they may appear magical at first, if you look at the details they take into accound interesting things like wheelspin, brake fade and other things that do affect a car's performance IRL.

There is indeed an unusual lateral acceleration of -45.6%.
I wanted bigger tyres but for some reason the game does not let me mount larger than 185mm.

Below is the link to download it, take a look at that for a better balanced car.

Two things that affect this: whether they fit (check your morphing points in the platform designer), and minimum profile (check the numbers in the wheel section of the trim tab).

My car is running on 13 inch wheels for reference.
Re: Pre-wedge era supercar (Download added)
2:26 sounds more like it. I just find it strange that you could use those tyres. The game would not allow me to mount tyres > 185mm
No wonder the car was uncontrollable with such narrow tyres.
Thanks that gives me food for thought.
Re: Pre-wedge era supercar (Download added)
That was the whole problem.
