Best Cars to Use Online!!​

We all know the cars that everyone hates to race against.. Whether it be a car that handles on rails, Or a car that flies by on the Straights.. we all know that car. We all can fall victim to using those cars as well. In this thread I will list the cars that people can't stand to see in an online lobby, I will List it in the OP as people post more cars they hate to see, X2010/X2011 aside, which cars do you hate to see against you? When posting an answer, please name "Manufacturer/model/PP Level

GT5's Most Wanted


Toyota GT-86 @ 400 - 475 PP
Lotus Elise at 500 PP
Alfa Romeo TZ2 @ 500 PP
Mazda Furai @ 500-600PP
Honda NSX-R LM Road Car @ 550 PP
Honda NSX @ 550 PP (at one time it was all you seen)
Lexus LFA @ 550 PP - 585 PP
Nissan GT-R @ 575 PP
Ferrari 458 Italia @ 600 PP
Mazda RX-7 TC - 600-650PP (My favorite car as well)
Nissan Skyline GTR R33 TC - 610-625PP
Chapparal 2J @ 650 PP
Nissan GTR R35 TC - 685-700PP


Now it's your turn, list a few cars that you love to use, but don't like to see contesting with your victory :) and remember, we aren't after cars, you do good in.. we are after cars that can dominate a certain PP

Chapparal 2J @ 650PP So annoying.
And also in lower PPs the £10,000,000 Alfa with the really long name. That thing handles like a dream...
 
How did I forget the 2J.. Amazing car but very annoying.. uses the same down force principle as the X1 and has Tonnes of power on the straights
 
The Lexus LFA running in the 500pp rooms. The thing is at 550pp bone stock and it's enough of a challenge at that level, when the limiter is used its almost like a glitch, the thing is practically unstoppable.

I enjoy racing against it in a Z06 at 550 to 600 pp, but I hate seeing it at the lower level so bad that I've refused to ever even try driving one. Seems like its always in there, drives me crazy.

While it may not be as common with the new tire wear as it used to be (I haven't seen it since, but that might not mean anything), the Dodge Ram at 450PP tended to be an obnoxious thing to go up against; especially on the "rougher" tracks.

Another one that I've seen pretty dominant is the Honda NSX-R LM Road Car at 600PP.

NSXR LM Road car unbeatable at 550
Chaparral 2J unbeatable at 600 thru 650

Those are the only 2 that I have found to be unbeatable.

Some 'GOOD' cars, that can pull off a win with a half decent driver:
Lotus elise at 450-475
NSX-R at 500-550
M3 GTR & CSL 500-575
 
R1600Turbo
Nice ninja edit. I saw that. :rolleyes:

Good for you. Roll eyes all you want. I removed it for your sake rather than mine.







Anyway, another one is the GT-R and GT-R SpecV at 575PP, though those two aren't nearly as dominant if people have Lexus LFAs.
 
Well I have an Evora at 550-560pp and it's pretty unstoppable. Whether thats the car of the driver i'm not quite sure ;P hehe
 
Lotus Evora. 450-550PP I guess.
BMW M3 CSL, GTR, regular M3, 475-550PP.
Audi R8(s) at 500-600PP.
Lexus LFA at 550+PP

Just for a few. guessing on exact PP ranges.
 
R1600Turbo
Whatever you say.

Have fun making another list.

You should apologie OP for posting 4 irrelevant posts on his relevant thread. :yuck:

Anyway, when I raced online, GT-R Spec V detuned annoyed me. Maybe I just suck.
 
Recently the 86 GT '12 at 400PP. It has the Kaz bias in it. :sly:

@CSLACR: No more Demi? :D

Good call, I second the 86 at not just 400PP but also a real tyrant at 450PP as well.

Demi's on vacation, Taylor's in for now. :lol: (If you could see more of that picture you'd know why.) :D
 
My favorites are:

Toyota FT-86 Concept '09 - 400PP

Lol, if you want me to name every car i've ever won a race in, well, dont hold your breath

This thread should be for damn near unbeatable cars, not cars that you can win with sometimes.

Did it occur to you that you simply out drove the guy when you won with a GT300 car? Or that the tire/track combo favored down force?

The Lexus LFS is known for being awesome at 550PP, so if you think you know of many better cars at 550PP, name them.

Funny, saying "I beat a LFA with a GT300 once", sure sounds like

Why are you being so black and white?

In my many online racing endeavors, being up against an Evora numerous times, I have not deemed it to be an unbeatable car.

The only cars I have given this title I have named previously. This thread seems to have derailed into a 'cars you like to use online' so further posts are futile anyway..

That depends on what the OP adds to the OP, doesn't it?
You named 2 cars as "unbeatable", that's not much of a list, and doesn't help in to many scenarios, does it?
I would agree some choices seem to be just cars people like, rather then being very good at their PP. It's up to the OP to validate any suggestions, IMO of course.
And you have to remember skill factor, just because you beat someone in something, doesn't mean they didn't have a faster car. ;)

Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car - 600-660PP Not sure about higher PP, but an absolute monster in this range.

I just beat one of those in a WOODONE supra...

so therefore, its not a "Best car to use online"

you get it now? you, along with everyone else, are just naming fast cars..

It doesn't matter what car you use, it all depends on the driver. I've beaten an Escudo with my Subaru RM on Eiger K Trail. I've also beaten a MINOLTA with my RX-7 TC on Nurburgring.

Or the setup. If that Minolta was setup for, say, an Indy race, but it's now on the 'Ring--- :yuck:. In part, that's the driver's fault, but it can be an indication of a poor setup. Thus add another item into the conversation. (Driver, tires, track, setup, conditions, PP so far)
