Disclaimer: This is an ongoing project. Nowhere near completion but I hope it provides some kind of help.
Okay guys first of here's the skinny. I run an online racing league like many other GTP members. Sometimes when creating an event there is a debate about exactly which cars are eligible for it. For example, is a Zonda R legal for use in a Road Cars only event? Is an HKS CT230R eligible for use in GT500 events? What is the difference between a "Tuner" and "Racer"?
My goal is to create a comprehensive set of guidelines for members to know exactly what each car in GT5 is and where it belongs as it pertains to GT5. I will be using these criteria to ensure fairness:
Criteria I will not use:
I will be starting this off but I welcome members to chime in and help me out with suggestions and cars I may have missed. If you disagree with a certain cars placement please state your case below. Remember to be civil and polite. Lets not get this thread closed and I hope this guide comes to some use.
I will be adding a coding structure to the lists to help explain why the vehicle is where it is and also try to provide power to weight ratios for all the cars in stock form. I do not have anywhere near all the cars so any help is greatly appreciated.
Coding
T = Technically this car falls into this class due to real life racing series regulations though its performance might exceed other cars in this class. EX: Toyota GT-1
P = the reason this car is in this class is because it's of equal performance to the 'real life' cars of this class - subsequently giving more variety and diversity for this class (if required). EX: BMW M3 GT-R Race Car
M = This car has raced in multiple different classes during it's real life lifespan, but there's only one version of it in GT5, which is why it's included into a number of different classes. Its performance may be below or above average compared to other cars in its class. EX: Mercedes-Benz CLK-LM Race Car.
G =Gran Turismo Logic. The reason this car is in this class is because it is either a concept or GT created car that was created to mirror a real life race series but may have below or above average performance compared to other cars in its class. EX: S2000 LM Race Car.
R =This car is here because it is primarily a race car. It has been heavily modified, is not street legal, may contain a roll cage and is used primarily in competitive events. This car is usually never street legal and is usually not available to be bought from dealers. Using these vehicles in NO RACE CAR events grants the user a competitive advantage. EX: HKS CT230R
S =This car is here because it is primarily a street car. Though it may have been modified it is still street legal and can usually be bought in real life car dealerships. Use of these cars in NO RACE CAR events should be fair. EX: Mugen S2000
X= Extreme High Performance. This car is here because it is a factory built racing or track vehicle that does not conform to any racing series or league or is a GT5 concept car. These cars are generally used in one make factory sponsored events or special event competitions. These cars have outrageous performance numbers and are not eligible in NO RACE CAR or STREET CAR ONLY events. EX: Pagani Zonda R
* = Car is still being debated and may move to a more appropriate list.
Race cars highlighted in BLUE are eligible for more than one category and may be over or under powered depending on category. League managers are urged to use discretion when allowing these vehicles in a league event.
Car Specs are with Oil Change.
Street Legal Tuner Cars
These cars would be eligible for a Road Cars only or No Race Cars type event.
Name...........................................Car Type......................Power to Weight Ratio...................Reasoning
Purpose Built Tuner Cars
These cars have been purpose built to participate in time attacks, drift events or circuit racing and are not eligible to use in Road Car only events.Factory built specials such as the Zonda R or Ferrari FXX which are used only for special events are also in this category.
Name...........................................Car Type......................Power to Weight Ratio...................Reasoning
Factory Built/Extreme Performance Cars:
These cars are special high performance factory vehicles and are primarily used on the track, be it for racing, time attack, rally or drift events.
Name...........................................Car Type......................Power to Weight Ratio...................Reasoning
Like the name implies these cars are not eligible for Road Car only/No Race Cars events. This category will be divided into subcategories as well for specific racing series.
Super GT500:
These vehicles are eligible in Super GT500 events and JGTC events. Take note that JGTC cars may under-perform compared to the newer vehicles.

Classic Race Cars
These cars would be eligible for a classic or historic race car event. League Managers should use their discretion as the performance of the vehicles may not be equal. Classic cars must have a model year of 1970 or earlier to qualify.

My goal is to create a comprehensive set of guidelines for members to know exactly what each car in GT5 is and where it belongs as it pertains to GT5. I will be using these criteria to ensure fairness:
- Is the car street legal?
- Is the car custom built for racing? (ala F1)
- Is the car so heavily modified that it is no longer anything like the original car? (ex: Nascar, GT500)
- Is the car mainly used for track events?
- Does the car have an unfair advantage compared to the cars it is grouped with?
Criteria I will not use:
- Opinions on how the car "feels" Those are highly dependant on the driver.
- What type of tires it comes with when won/bought. GT5 is filled with irregularities.
- Whether or not the car is eligible to use for specific A/B Spec events. Once again GT5 is filled with irregularities.
