Which cars piss you off..?

this is not about what cars you hate but its about the ones that the arse of an AI put in the race just to make you swear at the TV...

for me its the Toyota MRS race car or the Nissan Sylvia JGTC car....the reason?

well, when you choose the Beginner mode, GT world champs (one of my fave races in stock) you get a rally field to race against. Okay choose the Xsara or Escort or any rally car and ocasionally the AI will stick one of the above cars in pole position...bastard!!! why??? they are not rally cars..?!

dont get me wrong, i like those cars when i am driving them but when i am racing against them i just wish i had a gun in my car....preferally an automatic machine gun with optional grenade launcher just to take out his tyres when i cant catch him...

on the other hand, the car i love so much that i dont mind getting beaten by it is the Ford GT40 (race or road)....this car could beat me all the time and i wouldnt get mad at it...(not that it could actually beat me you understand) i love it too much..

why do some cars irritate you and some dont...maybe i am the only one that feels this way.

I have a story about those two cars. I was doing the beginner gt world championship with a lightly tuned elise 190 (Only power mods were exhaust and ecu) I was leading by about half a second on trial mountain. On the last corner of the last lap both of those cars decided to fly off the curbs on the right of the last corner (you know the one that makes you almost hit the bridge before the start finish) and flew into me, spinning me out and making me finish third.

I got a bit pissed of at that.
 
The Pennzoil GT-R in the Amateur GT All Stars.

That thing has neither steering wheel nor brakes, or at least not a driver that uses them. He relies totally on you for those niceties, and he has enough jacked-up turbo power to catch up on every straightaway, despite having to come to a full stop in order to negotiate every corner.

The result is like a croquet match where one of the players is using a sledgehammer. The whole crowd will be setting up for a turn when the Pennzoil car will rocket directly into the back of the pack and screw everybody up. You'll try to recover and work your way through the turn and down the next straight, only to get bunted into the wall again by the GT-R coming in like a bowling ball shot out of a cannon.

Yet if you come in behind him and try to give some payback, you're the one who loses still. I've driven directly into his fat ass, wide open, and just ricocheted off into the kittylitter while he was nudged slightly and continued fumbling his way around the turn as if nothing happened.
 
This reminds me of the historic championship in GT2 on the last round at Rome short circuit, with a power cap of I think 290ps or something anyhow the field consisted of Lotus Elans etc.. ................. Apart from 1 Lancia group B rally car running about 400ps I found it immposible to beat :mad: untill one race where 'he' decided not to show. hence easy victory:O
 
its not so much that this car pisses me off, butt everybody going on and on about it is what irritates me. My pick is the Suzuki Escudo...
