It's a real shame the Venom GT is so bad, it should have excellent acceleration stats and launch bit it doesn't, it should gave the best standard top speed, bit doesn't, it should be competitive in rivals and online, but isn't, it's dreadful. The Forza team have really messed up RWD for the game, why do all the top performance RWD cars just wheels pin at the start it's appalling, rarely do you see someone win an online race in a RWD car, you gave to covert it to AWD just to keep in front. As for the Veyron, it's very good in S2 but people just don't know how to corner it!
Maybe because the venom is just a bad car? It's a lightweight chassis stuffed with a motor so big it almost doubles the weight of the car and it has to put all that power down only to the rear wheels.
AWD cars in this game are so powerful because they have the advantage and are better at this sort of thing in the real world as well. They are easier to put that power down without spinning the rear wheels. They handle better on the off road surfaces. Cars like the venom are great in a straight line but don't do well off road. You have to have exceptional throttle control, which most casual racers don't have, and without TCS you're still likely to spin the wheels because there is more power and torque going to one axle than it can handle.
The venom had a great acceleration stat and even with a semi-skilled driver can out accelerate most cars but build a car of similar weight and power with AWD and it will accelerate better in FH2 and the real world.
The venom had a great top speed, but it's not the fastest in real life so it's not the fastest in FH2. Sure other cars can go faster maybe but they're also all upgraded a ton, sometimes in ways that would never happen in the real world but the simulation turn 10 puts out is really pretty darn good, so; it is what it is.
The venom shouldn't be competitive in rivals because it's not as great as other cars. As I mentioned earlier, it's way too powerful to be only RWD and combined with the environment it's not a good fit. Other cars weigh in around the same, are able to effectively use all the power they have, and still beat the venom in RWD. Then you make these cars AWD if they aren't stock and the venom doesn't stand a chance.
As for the veyron, it comes from the kings of understeer and you're right, people don't know how to use it well. They could start by dropping the front arbs to 5.00 and giving it a go but most people won't test the extremes because it doesn't seem natural even if it does work.
