What car should I use? Im recently taking it down from 750pp to 600pp to see the differences in the drivers.
 
For the fastest cars, Clio V6/Tuned, NSX type R and i hear good of the Evo X (not sure if its the tuned or not i odn't have it). The Evo IX/Tuned is great fun on Suzuka though, but far from the quickest of the bunch. I also enjoy the Skyline Coupe Tuned.
 
I'll vouch for the non-tuned Evo-X the NSX's, Subarus and even the odd Tuned Clio will cream you on the starights but who cares when you can dance around them on the bendy bits!
 
For a challenge, the Jaguar XK is great for 600PP, especially if its tuned right and you learn to handle it. It can easily challenge for a podium finish. Also has the added bonus of being rarely used online (except by me and a couple of others here). 👍
Also, the Ferrari 512BB is great car for this class. Similar to the XK, but slightly faster and a bit easier to handle (in my opinion).
 
Please forgive my noobiness, but where can I find this AMUSE/OPERA 350Z? There's only one Amuse I see in the dealerships and the only 350Z's I saw were either at Nissan's or Concept by GT.
 
It's not so strange you can't find it, because it's called different at the dealer than when it's in your garage. ;) It's in the Concepts by GT section: 350z RS.
 
I use the standard version of the EVO X, I find it very good in the corners but lacks top end speed on the fastest parts on the track.
 
I think it depends a lot on the controller. I find that the best track to race is Suzuka, but since I use a DS3, I find it hard to drive anything that doesn't have AWD competitively. I just don't have the throttle control I'd need to control the back end. I've seen quick laps run by pretty much all of the Evo and STi variations. I usually use my Evo IX GSR '05. Its settings haven't changed much, and last night I ran my best lap ever at 2:10.620. If you've got the touch for something a little more loose, I've seen very quick NSXs, Clios, M3s and tii 1 Series, and occasionally an RX7 or 350Z.
 
I was finding that the M3 can just about keep up round the corners with the Evos, but is faster on the straights. However, the Evos do have AWD which helps when taking hits since you can keep the car under control easier.
 
^^^ +1 for that :)
I personally love the NSX-R too, but after racing Stevisiov in his Clio, it's gotten me thinking about giving the Clio a crack :p Was being consistently overtaken on straights, and the bends weren't massively different for either of us.
 
I personally believe that the M3 is the best. The 512, while much improved (thanks, TLD!) feels as though it's one edge. True, it's blazingly quick, but you have to be dead on in your braking points, and smooth on the throttle. The Jag is also fast, and easy to drive to boot. However, the M3 offers just the right compromise. It's confidence inspiring, you won't get left behind on the back straight, and oh...that V8 F1 wail of a motor!!!
 
Or perhaps have a go with the stock viper, it's not the quickest, but it is the car that will be used by the upcoming 'tuner event' on Fuji, so if you participate there, it's a good chance to get a feel for the car.

If you're up for a challenge that is ;)
 
I am finding the the 02 nurburgring skyline pretty epic. I am fidddling with settings but it feels so stable on the track. In the right hands it could be dangerous.
