Drag cars that perform unexpectedly

Yer disappointing. But they probably had to add lots of extra safety features and fit new environmental standards which means most cars seem to get more and more boring.

Classic > Plastic :)

No its just gt5 physics. The standard GT '05 ported from gt4 is amazing. The GT '07 is exactly the same car in real life... Hahaha. Silly PD. You make me giggle.

For me it's the Saleen S7, it's acceleration is just terrible lol

dude! The acceleration on that car is amazing! What are you talking about? Lol use a 2 gear launch on 3k and aim for 242. Mate that car is Actually faster than i thought.

Is is lighter and basically as powerful as a ford gt. I expected more too.

Okay updating OP. define which distance it is disappointing on so we don't have issues :)

I love that car, but the lambo justs beats it imo

I'd rather the Lambo, but once the GTR guy stopped making excuses and got his launch right he spanked it..
 
Let us not forget the Premium Ford Mustang GT. What a heaping pile of junk that one turned out to be.

IRL they don't perform like that at ALL. I expected the Shelby 'Stang to perform more like the Camaro. IRL that thing handles better than the Camaro RM does.

Ouch. Still awd? Cause most drag strip GTRs (mainly skylines) I've seen IRL have rwd conversions. Same with a lot of subies


Edit: rs200 road car. Disappointing all aspects

the lancia stratos rally car, more aero, 6 more kg, and same hp as the street version gets you- .100 slower.

:lol: low hp cars don't like too much aero.

Confirmed for sure. Very disappointing car
 
I would say the premo RX8. Thought it would run mid 11s-12s, and it could run with BMWs and the 07 Mustang. Runs around 10.2s-10.3s

Really? Wow! What's the HP?
 
582 hp broken in, the tranny is easy. Suspension is a doozy. I was testing the spring rates and it gets slower if you max at the rear.

You put minimum at the rear.
 
I usually do now, gets better almost every time. Full throttle with it and it will get slower, timed launch will give you a better time.
 
As Nuke said a while back. The 350Z
They give you 530HP to 545HP. It is such a better car than PD gives it credit for. As is the Supra RZ and the 300ZX.
 
The leaf - it never crossed the line....... (cause it pissed me off before it could happen)

I didn't buy the dlc, therefore it was the Academy one. The differences are minor anyway.

Btw, I received the silvia 40min ago

I got mine a couple of hours ago keen to try it out drifting
 
dr_slump
It's a decent car for drifting, also pretty good for beginners (I don't mean you :lol: ).

Haha I know what you meant :P
They definitely are good to learn in
 
i was Actually quite surprised about the gallardo for 3k. Here's me thinking Aww yeah she'll do 220 lol end's up doin 233 and beats the RS6 Avant.
