This Lamborghini Reject Is The Worst Supercar In Gran Turismo 4

The Cizeta V16T is a supercar built out of the original Lamborghini Diablo prototype. However, it's among the worst cars in Gran Turismo 4. Watch me fix this car and race it in the most absurd scenarios!↓ MORE DETAILS BELOW ↓

I've driven on the Nurburgring in real-life, and the track seems even more narrow than it does in the game. I was driving a Mercedes 190E and still wondered how people could pass in some areas. I got passed by an M3 (GTR¿) racecar, and a few other more powerful cars. My friend drove his 2000 Cadillac Deville and almost crashed because of the heavy weight of the front-end.

Fun video, great to see more of a focus on tuning techniques this time around. I appreciate this format of "let's roast this terrible car, then head to the lab to improve it as much as we can. After that, let's continue roasting it, but with a hint of optimism". Edit: the reason this understeers so much is because its front grip is nearly non-existent compared to the rear. It has 0 / 20 downforce, the rear tyres are much wider than the front, and its grip modifiers (a hidden chassis stat that determines cornering grip) are 92 / 96. The game doesn't tell you about any of this, I was only able to find out by browsing in-game data.

[@YellowbirdYT]

Took a different approach so everyone could see more of how I make my cars competitive, really. We'll see how it goes.

[@FerrariConceptX]

I wonder what is your take to fix this car, surely there's a lot more room for improvement as far as car setups go

[@TeaKanji]

@@FerrariConceptX I tuned the Cizeta a while back, but revisited it to see what I'd change. The main difference between Yellowbird's tune and mine is the ride height: I have it set to 118 / 100 so the car can rotate much more easily. Some minor differences elsewhere: softer rear springs, higher LSD Deceleration and lower Initial and Acceleration, much longer gears, and the brake balance controller set to 8 / 6 for stronger braking. I also run TCS 0, and the car seems to run fine on bumpy tracks (except if you make a mistake and the car's wheels go off-road). Really though, this is the sort of car where tuning can only do so much. The braking distances really set this car back, especially with sports tyres and no rear wing. With very patient driving, it's actually a somewhat fun car, but it demands a lot from its driver.

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@TeaKanjii also tuned the V16T heavily as it handled way worse than even Subaru Legacy B4 Blitzen!

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@FerrariConceptXagree.

And an another good fact.(more like story or somethin) is the V16 that Cizzeta has.Its the engine itself. Zombolli took two 3 liter V8s from the Lamborghini Uracco and mate em together . To make it a V16 with 6000cc displacement . Which is pretty good back at the early 90s. Even now 6000cc is good too for an V16 to have that displacement. Only thing that u need to do. is to Add power and do suspension setup to be in Competition against other cars of its category. Man. In my opinion. It will be.A great car.I have lot of fun drivin it in Gran Turismo (specially in PSP on K6 in Block K when u need to tackle the hairpin at Infineon that has quite elevation change there).

[@Exponaut_R-01]

I prefer the roof camera anyway, it gives you a first-person-ish perspective while not pretending like the car physically doesn’t exist. It’s my favorite kind of camera. Also, I don’t know if I heard it from you or not, but the PAL version of GT4 has cars feeling usually worse over bumps than NTSC. Either way, most of the supercars in this game are awful through corners and under braking, and you can only hope to be Less Bad with most of them.

[@Christopher26021994]

I find that camera great too. What I also love in the GT4 is the wind noise, that really makes me feel that the car is indeed going fast. I think many racing games are lacking that wind noise and it is making it feeling better than excessive blur IMO. When it comes to handling, I've heard somewhere that handling of cars might be related to FPS? Maybe NTSC has higher FPS which might be making handling better? Maybe I'm wrong, I'm more of a car guy than a console/pc guy.

[@YellowbirdYT]

I do know PAL has a few quirks handling wise, I had a PAL copy for my PS2 and it always felt different. Weird GT stuff.

[@Khaynizzle7]

Pro race drivers usually have TCS set to 2 or 3. Its there to make you faster. So it should be used the same as tuning a suspension.

[@YellowbirdYT]

Thing is, GT4's traction control is really aggressive. Anything past 1 is kind of unnecessary for me, besides it creates a weird, controllable rotation at lower gears which can be useful. Your tires won't like it, though.

[@mclarenf1gtr99]

Problem is GT4 already has immense understeer, TCS makes it worse.

[@The_Superior_Self]

"Transverse V16 Engine" more cursed words have rearly been spoken. However this explains why the thing is so WIDE This thing is literally what american manufacturers might come up with if you discribe to them what a european supercar is like. Heavy, god awful handling, way more power then necessery...

[@YellowbirdYT]

Truth be told, the car itself is pretty cool. I think GT4 has a problem with the transverse engine, given it has no weight over the front and rear wheels. That might do funny things with the physics, just a theory.

[@The_Superior_Self]

@@YellowbirdYT maybe, Its hard to say. My best guess is, that the engine makes the car heavyer then it should be and the tires can not cope with the weight and the power output. Thats why you get the understeer and wheel spin issues. The brakes to are limited by what ammount of braking force the tires can transmitt before the wheels lock up. I certenly respect the decision to turn traction control on because wheelspin in GT4 is harsh to the point where every powerfull car just becomes a burnout machine even without braking. I enjoy your contet by the way. I wish you the best of luck pulling this off as a full time job, I will certenly take a look at your videos every now and then.

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

A lot of cars after Gt3 suffer from some sort of syndrome where they are completely undrivable without a lot of tuning or at least soft racing tyres. This is probably caused by the overly stiff suspension of the physics model. Basically every Ruf is just a waste of money. I brought a Saleen and it can’t even turn without just doing a donut, I looked up tuning presets online and even they wrote not much could be done. Ironically the Diablo doesn’t have this problem. But my successes were the Cadillac Cien that is extremely fast and controllable outrunning even track cars, I rebuilt the engine 3 times from heavy use. And the Eagle Talon.

[@YellowbirdYT]

RUF have really good handling, actually. You just need to understand how weight transfer works, which is similar to the Cizeta (brake early, rotate without pushing the throttle and push your way out of corners by accelerating)

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

Maybe you pull that off but it’ll always be worse than something that drives normally, and there’s plenty of those

[@MrJohnReviews]

Sadly using Cizeta is the equivalent of using Rampardos or Regigigas in competitive pokémon battle, they are both AWFUL!

As of now, it may as well not have a first and second gear with the way the wheels spin at low gearing. I added a ballast to the rear, which helped with cornering, but the thing's massive power is underutilized since it just spins like hell in first and second, so I can't really blast out of corners the way I want to.
