I would like help with my F430 if possible, my issue is down to not being able to carry speed through turns. I'm running soft springs, full front wing and half rear with the biggest tyres available.

Horsepower: 503
Torque: 357 lb-ft.
Curb Weight: 2665 lbs

Why is it not turning? Is it understeer or oversteer?

At higher speeds say 80-90 i'm getting understeer when trying to corner but when i'm travelling around 50-60 i usually drop to first on tight corners and go round. Just trying to think of a good example of a corner.....see link and look at turn 85 (2) as references.

I had to slow right down to around 60 for this corner as i couldn't carry the speed through and lost a shed load of time to general on that turn and the following 3.

On the Ferrari, i find if you reduce the rear diff by only 5% you lose alot of oversteer. Perhaps try add 5% to the front and see if that does anything.
