Miatas are pretty good actually. They own all other cars when they're fully modded. Sound truly awesome as well at 380hp. :sly:
 
i thought the ek9 was slow but i decide to tune one like initial d lol and well i got it making 285-290hp N/A power and i ran a 4'36.xxx in complex string i think that is good what do you guys think?
 
hm.. car that surprised me.. Spoon S2000.. beautiful handling, and it was keeping up with cars way higher hp that it's own..

R34 GT-R VspecII- I knew it was going to be powerful, but damn 1000hp?! I'm a GT2 vet and 1000 hp was impossible (with an exception of the HKS)
 
I thought Kaz's first car was an R32 GT-R which he crashed in a pretty short time......Keiichi Tsuchiya's first one was teh AE86 👍

Yeah, cause HP is nothing... My S.S. 86 tuned to 283 HP is faster than my 480 something HP 22B STi (yes, I know its Initial D stuff there, but I was bored)

But seriously, power is only part of how a car performs...

The Tureno is great, especially when I want to just whip a friends butt who has never really played. I don't know about it being faster then the 22B though, then again, I have yet to tune the 86 near the level of my 22B or did any comparisions.

Aside from the Impreza 22B, the 86, and... hmm, come to think of it, I don't use much aside from the 22B when I playing against friends. Rally or tarmac. Originally I didn't think the 22B was gonna be that good, but man, I got pretty far in the game with that car, I would have thought I would have like the skylines or some of the other cars, but I found I kept going back to it.
 
My issue with the 22B is its AWD... I'm normally in MR cars, or sometimes FR. So its an issue with my driving style. I got a 1'20.xxx at Apricot Hill with the 2BB, but I just don't enjoy driving it that much. :p

Just compare how it feels to a slew of MR cars, like the MR2 GT-S, the MR-S, the Opel Speedster, and so on. Certainly less forgiving if you go a bit too fast in them (I'm always amazed at how sideways an AWD can get and still swing back), but also a heck of alot of fun 👍
 
The Lotus Esprit Sport 350 is an excellent car. It feels heavy in the turns, but when you're entering the turn, just after you get off the brakes, jam on the gas and let off the gas, then get back on it real quick. This produces the fastest lap times with this car. I'm currently running it in the PD Cup, but it is a bit too fast for the competition. I hope the competition gets a little bit better within the next few races.
 
the mines skyline is very good.. about 750 bhp but it handles very good...
 
I am a big fan of all of the miatas. I think When they are bone stock they handle exceptionally well. The Slivias are nice too.
 
for me Honda ITR...now talk about top end speed i have tuned mine to almost perfection, capable of taking on car 500+hp like some evos (IV & V) i dont dare try to take on on (VI& VII) and the black bonet trueno ss now i have managed to demolish upto evo VI & prezzas on certain courses ....those are my two machines..
