Why it gotta be a "Black" list????????

It's not a racial slur, if that's what you think. The term dates back to the 17th Century, when an Engish king made a list of all the judges who were complicit in sentencing his father to death. And then there was the infamous Hollywood Blacklist set up by the House Committee on Un-American Activities, a compendium of people in Hollywood - mostly screenwriters - who were denied the opportunity to work openly in the film industry because of supposed communist ideals; the Senate didn't want them using the burgeoning American film industry as a platform for communist propaganda. Hell, there's even the No Fly List, a list of people who are denied the opportunity to fly in commercial aircrafted because of suspected links to terrorism.

The only successful venture I've had with this car is I parked it perpendicular to the end of the pit lane and blocked multiple people in the pits for a laugh.

LMAO.

The Enzo is difficult without tuning. Tamper with the suspension, tranny and driving aids and its a bread winner. For me the worst car for the price has to be the Lambo LP640. It handle like sh#@. Although I got to be manageable just to be able to run it for Italy races. Now I have the Enzo so its collecting dust now.
 
Without looking at my garage I think it was a 59 fiat 500, someone already said that, but I wasted my pennybank on it early in the game, again, by far most useless car ever placed in VR, no race is winnable, some are incompleteable. But cute factor gets high marks.
Add the Maserati GT they give away for winning the supercar fest. The only car I immediately sold without completing a lap. (and went back to my bitchin' Camaro)

I don't understand the Bugatti bashing tho, I tuned mine to the teeth, the only open entry races I can't win are Formula, and it's not the car's fault, it easily has the ability at 1200 hp I just haven't got the tune or skill yet.

Thank you, Captain Killfun.

Someone really needs to make a sarcasm smiley.
 
Woah, Interludes went all Pheonix Wright on your ass. :P

Anyways, I think every car except the tesla roadster has it's moments!

Tune one properly and it won't do this.

My R34 and R35 drive like they're on rails. (With Sports Soft tires, not Racing Soft.)

Yeah IDK perhaps I'm missing something...I can tune just about any car to my liking including heavy AWD Audi's like the RS6 but I've never been able to get a GT-R to handle in a manner suiting my style. I can eventually make one quick and win with it without over-doing the specs for a race event, but I still hate driving them.
 
Jensen Interceptor MkIII '74; only has 3 gears, a max speed of 140 (without tuning), and doesn't have too good of handling (heavy weight).

The car is pretty cool in real life, and its engine sounds awesome, but it's just not meant to be used to race.
 
Just bought the F40 today, tried it with soft sport tires (online, feels it different online?), handles like a big heavy rock without traction :/

I loved that car in GT5P ??
 
*Renault 5 turbo rallycar (pretty undrivable for me, battling understeer and oversteer)
*Nomad Diablo (very hard to master over/understeer, not very fast)
*Alfa romeo guilia TZ (magic 2 wheeling over the curbs!!??, slow)
*TVR speed 12 (Very fast but handles robotically like active steering is on full even when all off)
 
ISF racing concept. No matter what I throw at it tuning wise, it is the most wayward, unpredictable car I've driven so far. Still won the touring car championship with it easily with no extra power, but still I could never get it to behave in the least bit.
 
Where is the list? Threads like this are pointless and become nothing but a way to hate on a car.

Needs a list of cars with the number of votes next to them from people who think they are crap.

My black list of crap cars:

Ferrari F40
Ferrari Enzo (unless your a tuning expert)

Thats all I can remember right now

escudo pikes peaks costs about 2.000.000 credits

The Escudo handles like a champ if you tune it right. Its just another 4WD car so you have to get use to how it handles.
Click to expand...

Would one expect the reallife escudo to handle much better? Or would it also need tuning to make it competitive? just curious to see if Sony/PD was able to capture the true escudo in GT5.
:)

I have to disagree with this one, the NOMAD Diablo GT-1 '00 is a sweet ride, handles great and decent power by adding the stage 3 turbo(816HP)... not the best looking car, but it's great to drive IMHO.
 
Unless you have spent a good amount of time tuning most of the cars in this game, I dont think there are alot of "Bad cars". By tuning, I mean simple, suspension/tire tuning.

Some of these cars are in the gold list.

Like the Enzo because people want to brag about how they're such a great driver they can make it go fast

Let's be honest people, the Enzo understeers like a truck unless you tune the suspension

NOMAD: no. I've challenged LMP cars with it. It's very excellent.

Alfa TZ2: it only had 160hp. Did you even look? Of course it's not that fast.

What: 1998 Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car
Amount: $999,000
Why: low horsepower combined with an oversized body calls for awful understeer, does not live up to the MR layout, no wonder the race car wasn't fats enough.
 
How many people in this thread are driving with aids turned on? With controllers?

...because I'd pretty much disqualify anything they've said.
