Biggest let down? Performance-Looks

[Danny]

What cars do u think look fast but aren't?

I would put forward the Yaris/Pitz/Vitz RS. It doesn't deserve a spoiler.
I've given a choice of ten but feel free to add more in the discussion.

 

[Flerbizky]

Most of the cars you mentioned actually go quite well.. EXCEPT for the Vette.. I don't like Vettes newer than 77. But with the Grand Sport Wonder what kinda sport they were thinking about

 

[Danny]

CHESS!

 

[Dave A]

Considering the power and class of the Yaris it's pretty quick, if you compare the 22B to the latest WRX it gets beaten, so as much as I love the 22B, and I prefer it to the other road Impreza's I would go for that.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

The Zonda's not fast?

 

[ving]

I've never used the vette, but all those cars are pretty good.
maybe the token bmw should be up there?

 

[deimos]

The Zonda's fast but it doesn't have brakes... . As for the 22B, I really like it too but it feels too heavy, and even the WRX of it's own generation seems to be better performance-wise..

 

[Majin SSJ Eric]

Don't underestimate the Ruf 3400S. That thing is remarkably fast for it's horsepower (298 hp) and kept up with a Viper, Corvette Z06, TVR Speed 6, and Griffith on Complex String. Nothing stock handles better than a Ruf in GT3!

 

[ving]

except the fiat

 

[MilleniumHand]

the 'vette grand sport is actually pretty impressive, can pull 1"06 on midfield with a max speed of 190 (fully tuned of course) and is pretty stable at that speed even without a TCS

The BMW 328i is the biggest let down in the game. Both performance wise and looks wise.

Period.

It goes OK fully modded. It's a bit too tail happy. I think it maxes out around 500HP, it could have easily done with 600-700HP.

 

[Danny]

If u get 500bhp out and the traction control off, the back end still ain't goin out.

C'est une Mule!

 

[JoniK]

The Zonda C12/S. The first time I saw it, I was very impressed with it's looks. But then, when I drove it, I realized the fact that we all know by now, the car has no wheel. Thus, I do not drive this car unless I want to torture myself.

I wonder how the Yaris can be in this poll, I doubt anyone ever even expected anything out of it in the first place.

yeah its the Corvete for me too, the again i didnt expect much from this car....i knew a guy that had one years back....it looked good but i could out run it on my mountain bike with flat tyres..

as for the BMW....man they suck in real life too....wheres the let down? the 5 series is an executive car for the over 50's and almost every household has a 3 series in this country....not very exclusive...

 

[Vasco]

The Esprit was a big let down for me...:|

 

[TurboSmoke]

i agree, the esprit is a POS in this game...

totally different to real life...

 

[Bollocks#999]

Im dissapointed in BMW as a manufacturer, only 1 car in the game? c'mon

Loved the crack about the 'vette and the mountain bike

it wasnt a crack....i was serious man....

 

[Bollocks#999]

...which makes it even funnier

 

[Race Idiot]

Pagani Zonda c12S = Fast with a little bit of suspension tweaking
Yaris RS = It's a yaris so it goes like a yaris, no let down there.
RUF 3400s = It's not the fastest, but it's in no means slow.
Corvette Grand Sport = I like it and I did the Seattle enduro with a completely stock one.
Lotus Esprit Sport350 = Car is teh 0wnzorz!!!!11
Peugeot 206 s16 = Meh
Volkswagen Beetle 1.8t = Meh
Volkswagen Beetle Cup Car = One of the best FF cars in the game.
Honda Civic Type R = Handles well, but only works well with turbocharging, the NA version is just a bit to torque-less.
Impreza 22b = I won all the rally races with this car, with all the mods barring ones that increase HP.

 

[chris100575]

If the handling of the Zonda in the game is anything like it is in real life, I imagine that this conversation took place at Pagani:

"So, brakes then. What do you think for the pads? Ferodo? Brembo?"

"Nah! Let's make our own!"

"OK then, what are brake pads made of?"

"Erm... bars of soap? Would that work?"

<<shrugs>> "Worth a try."

That thing is fast, and with a bit of suspension tweaking corners well, but it's all a bit pointless when you have to brake for corners three days in advance. I've even tried dropping F1 brakes into it, and guess what? It *still* brakes like a cow!

 

[Bollocks#999]

then dont drive it then, if so stick an F1 chassis in there as well for good measure

 

[chris100575]

An F1 chassis would be too long for the body and it would look stupid. I take your point about just not driving it, but I like the look of the damn thing. It's frustrating that the only thing that's wrong with it is that the brakes are far too weak as most other handling issues can be fixed with a bit of tweaking.

 

[eddieturner2002]

i voted for 22b....all the big whoop about it nd it dont actually go that fast at all. They only made 400 of them so y not make 400 good cars rather than 400 cars that get beaten by the normal much cheaper ones

how do you figure that out?..

acording to FIA the max length of any F1 car is 4200mm where as the Zonda C12 is longer at 4395mm according to Pagani.

also is it possible to look stupid with a Zonda under your arse?

when you go up close and actually touch a BAR-Honda F1 car as i have, you'll notice that there a lot smaller than you think...infact theyre tiny...

watch the next time a mercedes safety car comes on, they dwarf the F1s...

 

[graveltrap]

In standard form the performance of the Zonda C12S is a dissapointment due to a bug....it can only do 220km/h where as IRL I know that the C12S will do 199mph (320km/h) (Andy Wallace was driving it on the autobahn). The car looks the dogs bollocks...especially up close
