Some of the muscle cars will not move if you're last tune was done with advanced tuning. Regardless of which car you tune, the choice of quick or advanced tuning affects all cars. The workaround is to go to "my cars", then tuning, then switch to quick tuning. I'm not sure if you have to actually change anything. If you do need to change something, I recommend buying a spare car and use that for quick tuning fix.
Second bug - once you tune any car using quick tune, it affects all your other cars, so once you get past an event where a muscle car wasn't moving, then you have switch back to advanced tuning, here it's easy to move a slider then move it back without affecting anything.
Third bug - some of the advanced tuning stuff won't take. The one that I've found so far is if you change any gear to max speed (far right), it won't stay that way, it will revert back one setting.
Fourth bug - Sometimes your tuning settings won't go into affect until after you restart a race.
Bouncing bug - somewhat cured by tuning: I set both fast rebound rates to max stiff (fixes bouncing on some cars like works Camaro SS).
Better grip - (not a bug, but might as well include it here): For tuning in general, I set tire pressures to 30psi, or maybe 29psi (note the Zonda R defaults to about 27psi). I haven't tried to optimize this.

Master corner bug - some of the corners are very difficult to get checked off. In some of the events, you get a star for "owning all corners", if you want that star, before starting that event or series of events, do quick race to master all corners first, then when you run the event, you'll get credit for owning all the corners at the start of the event.
I've been using a trainer that saves / restores position, running quick race time attack (you could also use solo 1 lap race) to own all the corners on the tracks that have stars for events. Even with the trainer to reset back to a prior position to rerun a corner over and over, some of the tracks took 10 minutes or so to get all the turns, like the London tracks where some of the corners have bumps that probably trigger the rear end slid detect, which prevents you from owning the corner. To reduce this issue, I switched to using the first stock audi with AWD for corner runs.

Hehe,
thats the way how i master the corners. I take a VW Scirocco with full handling tuning. I dont use a Trainer, i do the quickraces with more laps.

Note I added a fourth bug about having to restart races to get your tuned settings to take affect.

Hi,
here some ingame "bugs" i noticed:
1. AI uses AWD cars on drift, like R8, EVO ... 2. Works only competition with porsche's as opponents. in my game no porsche has the "works-option"

Semi bug, there's a time attack event with the CCX at Road America, the CCX is bouncy, so you have to take some turns slower than normal, but beating the event is still doable.

Man, i had some runs today, even forgot which cars they where but i felt like riding a horse rather than a car, as how they bounced .. It's rediculous!! I'll try and replicate it and report back here when it happens again.. Got quite angry actually, over this... Bandit

These bumps are the cars bottoming out, I had the same problem with my Audi R8, i tuned it too low and got bumpy so i changed the view to third person and sure enough as the car was bouncing there were sparks flying out from under the car in accordance to this i put the car up as high as i could and now it only does it on really hard corners.

Still there is the possibility it could be the same thing happening though, even with my suspension on stock setting my R8 still bottoms out around fast corners, its just what i think may be happening, but you never know it may be a bug Heres another Funny Bug i found in the PS3 Shift Do you see it yet Listen to that Babe Roar Vroom Vroom LOL Audi must have got a new Motor for their R8's

Hello I have a completely different problem that everyone else. Tier 3 none of American made manufacture cars will move in any of the races and all of the European cars all bounce uncontrollable, They only bounce in career mode and not while racing online. Drifting for me is also impossible since I am using a wheel. This will be the first time in 8 years that I haven't been able to finish career mode in the NFS series. However racing online seem to be pretty fun, but racing with friends online will be like finding a needle in a hay stack. Monster

Tier 3 none of American made manufacture cars will move in any of the races Go to the car lot and buy a spare car, one you won't be using. Then go to tuning, change to quick tuning, and make some change, like setting gearing to 40%. This should fix the issue with the cars not moving. As you start each career event, you may have to restart in order to get the car to move. Apply the brakes (hard) and the bouncing will stop (not realistic, but it works in Shift). You'll need to remember where the bouncy spots on the tracks are and go a bit slower over those. Easing off the throttle and coasting over the bumps will help. However once the car gets into a heavy bounce mode, using the brakes seems to be the only way to stop it. Set the gameplay driving mode to "casual". This will turn on the steering and throttle/brake assists to high, which will make the drifting easier. Then it's mostly figuring out how fast you need to go in the drifts. The 4 second drift star is probably the hardest one to get. Note you can skip drift events, as career mode isn't sequential in Shift. Tier 4 is unlocked by the time you get done with Tier 1, and Tier 5 unlocks early on into Tier 2.
