How to unlock the Snake Bit achievement in Forza Motorsport 5 - Definitive Guide

Update: The April game update makes all of the initial 200 cars that launched with Forza 5 available as rental cars so it's no longer necessary to use the "rental glitch" if you don't own the car that is required for this achievement.

Go to Free Play
Car: 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe
Track: Any track. The Top Gear West Circuit is recommended.
Rounds: 1
Drivatars: 15 (To increase the chance of a Ferrari opponent. Restart the race if there's no Ferrari opponent. Alternatively you can use a 2nd controller and select a Ferrari opponent manually.)
Drivatar Difficulty: Easy

If you don't own the car select "Rent Car" and choose any car (the Shelby isn't available there). Then select "Buy Car" and choose the Shelby. Before selecting a design press "B" until you're back at the main menu of Free Play. The Shelby will be your car now.
Finish the race in front of the Ferraris to unlock the achievement.

I cannot get this solution to work. Every time I try to do this it keeps putting me back in my own car.

Correction/update on instructions: to get the car swap to work I needed (i) go in and select a "rental" car, then (ii) go into the "buy car" menu and followed the instructions above.

Disregard the previous (if you read it)... Nice work around, if I can hopefully get it to work.

This also works with a second controller if you have one, works with a guest or second account. No need to hope for a random Ferrari. I just got it with my second controller on Daytona Brickyard.

Niiiccceee!!! Another winner Dex.
1 lap around Top Gear West Circuit did it for me.
Be sure to check"starting grid" for a Ferrari. I had 1 in 2nd and 1 in 16th. Stayed behind the 2nd place and it popped.

I found it difficult for the Farrari to spawn on most maps, but following Hambidextous1 comments I found the Top Gear West circuit with 15 AIs selected always spawned a Farrari or two. You want to add this to your excellent solution.

Only had 1 Ferrari show up in the race and it beat me to the finish by a split second. Still got the achievement. +1 anyway

I cannot for the life of me get a Ferrari to populate. I get the same cars every time. Any suggestions?

I cannot get this achievement to pop. I've tried multiple different tracks, and number of laps. I've tried coming in first, coming in a place right ahead of the Ferrari. Is this achievement glitchy for anyone else?

Check to see if it's "Done...unlocking." I just did this and it took a few minutes after i was back in the free play menu to unlock. Best advice would be to just work on something else and see if it pops after a day or so.

Very easy to get in multiplayer.

Multiplayer
Press cn_Y to set up a private match.
cn_A to change car/options, Game options
Choose Timed Race
Any Environment/Track
Max Players 16
Max Drivatars 15
Difficulty New Racer
Race Length - :30 seconds (Depending on the track you may have to adjust this to 1 minute or more)
Car class - B

Accept and then make sure to skim through the AI cars and make sure there is a Ferrari in the group then start the race. I started the race in 16th place and was able to pass one of the Ferrari's before the 30 seconds was up but if you aren't fast enough or the Ferrari is too far ahead, you may have to adjust the time to 1 minute. The achievement will pop when the race is over if you are ahead of a Ferrari.

Rent yourself a Shelby
Connect a second gamepad and rent any Ferrari
Choose a shorter route (Long Beach West Route) and 1 lap
You calmly pass it, wait a little, the race ends and
