Best value for money? Overpriced/Underpriced?

Anyway, for me, the best values for the money are the Buick Special- 58k & 615 good hp. Another good one is the HPA Motorsports Tuner car- just in the 30k range and 500+hp.

The most overpriced one is one everyone has said, SLR McLaren.

The Lexus gets 750hp? I didn't expect that much out of it.

Same here, it was a pleasant surprise. Im guessing it has the 2jzgte like the aristo (japanese version); they probably changed the name and left the specs which is COOL. 👍

750hp on a GS300? Cool =)

WHOLY! ****!, man i gotta check this out, but i might be disspointed with the outcome, similar to i but 850 bhp in my 98' Supra, feels kinda stocky, and heavy now. But i love wtill, and i smoked my friends R8 :)
 
Mr. Boy
The Ford GT is the best bargain in the game in my opinion. Just under 150,000 Cr. and it will do 220 mph stock (so what if it can't do that in real life? Its even faster than a Zonda!) and has great handling (although its rear end feels somewhat heavy). I love how it sounds with a racing muffler! The Honda NSX is perhaps the worst value for money. But I like it anyway.

Worst? heh, NSX is prob one of my fastest car, i've got it up to 270, and it goes were i want it to go.

And? My Esprit Sport 350 costs roughly the same new, goes where I want it to go, has twice as much power as any street NSX (fake one notwithstanding) and goes 40 MPH more. Besides, NSX's look like ass with aftermarket spoilers on them, whereas the Esprit Sport 350 looks exactly the same, just minus a brake light.
Anyways, the Camaro SS '00 is great value, as it can outrun everything near the Corvette Z06 for 20k less. Another good one is the Esprit Sport 190. The fastest Elise by quite abit (due to a little invention called low-end torque) and is practically given away. The RUF BTR is another good one, if you can get used to it's RR layout. Nearly as fast as the Esprit, and costs similar.
Race car wise, I would have to say a 4.0L DTM car, as they are far faster than their rather low BHP suggests, and are more than capable at whipping JGTC cars.
Fast race car wise? That would have to go to the Chaparal 2J. A cool million-and-two for a car that is faster than the four-and-five cars, and saves tires and fuel to boot. Just make sure you can drive it.
 
I'd agree that the SL65 AMG is probably, after abit of tuning, better than the SLR

After putting on the 2nd cheapest turbo, and doing a few other little things (I can't remeber exactly what I did), It could easily outrun an SLR by like 30 seconds in some 10 lap races...

I'll have to run one of my SL65 AMG stock some day and show you guys it can do the same to the SLR with no tuning.

This monster has 720+ lb-ft of torque. And like 20hp less than the SLR.
 
I don't get why they charge 450,000 for a SLR, and only 220,000 for a SL65 AMG. The SL65 looks nicer (love the SLR's looks, but hate the stupid front), is a convertible, and has 160 more ft/lbs of torque...
 
The best bang for your buck is the '62 buick hands down! No good for racing though as the A spec pointage is invariably pathetic for any race which it can reasonably be entered in and expected to win (probably because it is so incredibly FAST, and the only things which are of comparable fastness are all those swanky race-cars which are rather more sticky on the road :dopey: !)

Yes yes,.... I know that the handling is an acquired taste. However,...... I have pulled a 6 mins 23sec clean lap round the 'ring in a supercharged one of these puppies (and the supercharger's pretty cheap!)

ummmm,.... over 1000N.m of torque with the supercharger. You can't use full throttle consistently, even in R5s, until you hit 4th gear (stock transmission). C'mon, you know you love it
 
The GSX-R/4.

1. It's a free prize car.
2. You can win every single road course in the Special Condition Hall.
3. It can crush cars double, even TRIPLE it's own horsepower.
