this is a review thread. You send me requests and i will try them out and post 1 a week.

First off is my JTC ft-86 g-sports 'evo' edition. It was previously know as NUKAR2. The set up is a deriva set up so it is more slide ruler than track day destroyer.

Speed.
Well to be honest, its short gear ratios mean fast acceleration to 160mph which isnt good for a 410bhp 900kg rwd super car.

Looks
I have always loved its looks, in white it looks epic, my only complaint is the bonnet but that is just my tastes. My evo is blue with gold wheels to celebrate the Subaru tie up.

Handling
Ohhhhhmiiiiiiigooooodddd! Side ways. Thats the best way to describe it. It is a good balanced car but when it sends its power to the rears they give up. Tire smoke then creates its own water cycle and causes rain.

Price
Half a million credits or won from the FR b-spec event. More money when you mod it so it isnt cheap, for the cheapo version see FT-86.

Conclusion
Big respect to the toyota even with its low top speed and sideways wheels. Im not saying this because its mine. Im saying it because i adore the ft86, now Toyota bring my dream into reality and build the g-sports.

Thank you to morcas1212 for this /he no longer has psn... He got banned. He done this on my system./

It is the audi r8 gt1. I got it round my test track in 1:53:516 as opposed to 2:34:942 for a stock r8 v10. 10% more power is sent to the rear tyres. There is a story behind it. The r8 gt showed up outside Carlisle Audi and i fell in love with it, my freind didnt, he sais he could make an actual gt and i challenged him to. He did, the gt1.

Speed
Fast, 204mph on the norduschleife straight. And that is impressive, it is almost scarily fast.

Looks
Picture an r8 with a standard wing and all aero, matt white paint and gun metal gray alloys. Delightfully evil. Then picture it at 200mph and sliding across the karrusel.

Handling
Great, its grippy yet primal. Sideways is always fun +insert transformers joke here+ but in a car like this it is more...interesting. Stop hooning around and it is close to the r8 lmp. But all it takes is the slightest error to spin or crash, you really need to concentrate hard to drive it fast. If it had a larger margin for error it would get a higher score.
Price
Standard r8 v10 with heavy moddifacation to make a gt1 monster, infact i raced a corvette LM of my own and i won, sadly. But the 'vette was won so it was cheaper by a long way.

Conclusion
Epic, fast, costly. Like an LMP only harder to use, this is a big complaint so i am trailing a gt2 v8 version with the same setup and it is more managable, it loses wadds of soul though. Go v10, go practice, go race...

+sorry for lack of pictures, they're jpeg so not compatible+

💡 i havent done one of these so give it up for the RENTO 458 and the SHADA mp4-12c, its a comparison!

these are giants of the v8 super car world now giants of the v8 tuning world. lets start with RENTO, she is a fine machine indeed, in rosso alfa with matt silver rims my heart flutters, so they gave me a matt white one with matt black rims not that it looks bad, just not very ferrari. SHADA is in lotus ISOTOPE GREEN(!?!) and it looks awful, green and black isnt very nice...unless it is a micra (they do look like frogs...) darn it, SHADA should be matt black with matt black rims but, they shipped the final version to me for keeps.

I am not going to use my regular format here. It is different. I havent been told prices but lets assume all the trial and error and a guy who cant decide between the 458 or the f430, the 458 project costs a bomb whereas the mp4 should cost less... bonus. These are 2 different beats though, the SHADA is nurburg optimized and RENTO is used at monza. So speedy meet swervey. I decided to use my test track for this test, the RENTO was ok but the SHADA ho ho ho... lapped the 458 in a 10 lap race and was beaten by only the GTR PPS (c_zeta's tune) and that was with me controlling the SHADA.

Then we stopped at monza where the bulldog only lost to the horse by 2.375 seconds on a 5 lap race (no GTR pps) and that ferrari hit about 200 mph before the trick twister (i call it that its a chicane) but the 12c lagged hitting "only" 187mph.

these are 2 stunning takes on the v8 MR legends of today one fast the other dynamic. both are great in there own little way, both are worthy of the crown however im british so seen as its a draw the SHADA is my winner.

Shada 9/10, paint ruins it for me
RENTO 9/10 needs to be able to slalom
