Mercedes CLK GTR, its just awful without AIDS. You can clearly see the real behavior of that car, specially without TCS. Should they consult Gordon Murray i will be amazed how it will perform on track
 
I bought the Lister Storm V12 Race Car, for I think 2m, maybe 1.5m, but it was pointless. Not useful for the events I need to complete
 
Ah yes... That was a cruel joke from the PD guys. You even had to max it out for $$$ to be competitive.

If i remember correctly, you didnt have to really do too much to the car and you could still win and gain money. it was also worth the XP
 
I bought an rs200 rally car for 2 million credits! It's crap, slow and gets smoked by my near standard evo 9! 2 million credits.... aaaaaggghhhh!!!
 
Ferrari F10 - 10,000,000 CR

Can't use it online with my friends because they don't have one and you can't use it in your career, so it's pointless, i was so happy when i saw the new Seasonal Events 7 List with a special place for the F10 & F2007 but i think those events are terrible.

Is it me or do the graphics seem to be dreadful when you have it on the 'hood' cam? Looks like F1 2009 but that's my opinion.

And you can't sell it! -.-
 
really? when i got the Scuderia for the seasonal event i thought it was great, but you really just have to hit its "sweet spot" and it's the one of the best handling cars i've ever driven:idea:

Wonderful vehicle. And what a sound it produces!
 
The enzo.

I bought it when 1 million was an incredible amount of cash for me and it turned out to be similar to cars costing 1 fifth.
 
The Enzo has been my biggest spend so far. Also my biggest dissapointment, handles like a barge. I went back to my 430 Scuderia after 2 races with the Enzo. Although if the "handles like a barge" thing has to do with tuning, please PM me a good setup =P
 
Yes, I do expect optimal settings out of the box. To be more precise: I expect the settings to reflect the real world settings from Ferrari. And I am not arrogant enough to claim I would do a better job setting up a hypercar than Ferrari engineers.

Tuning is for fiddling with compromized family cars and rice racers.

C'mon guys! Who told you that a monster with 660PS and a mid-engine layout is easy to drive on limit? Especially with a joypad and without feeling the g's on your body... This game has a very nice physics system. So, it is perfectly logical to have difficulties in getting such hypercars on track without aids. I hope you drive it in RL once to understand it. Every car editor who drove Enzo said that it is difficult to find the limit and stay on it. So it is the same in GT5, and I am very happy for that.
 
To anyone dissapointed with the enzo, don't buy the VW 12 Nardo Concept. Uglier, twice as expensive than the enzo with more or less the same problems.

Enzo > VW Nardo
 
The Schwimwagen for that seasonal event... *sigh*

Best car in the game.
 
Enzo, simply because PD failed miserably with the engine sound:(

It doesn't even sound like a V12, let alone with the distinct engine note which makes it my favorite:yuck:


*sigh* 1,000,000 credits gone.
 
The Citroen GT Race car, 5,300,000 credits and it's as quick as a normal touring car. I could have got 3 cars that are just as quick for that price. Oh well...
 
I disagree with the statement about the Enzo and the distinctive exhaust note, that car sounds remarkably similar to my enzo with an intake, cats, and sports exhaust. that titanium race exhaust just distorts the cars to all sounding extremly similar. It's like PD's signature modified exhaust note
 
Sorry but Castrol Tom's Super is a top gun. Amazingly fast for the horsepower it has and really great tuned as you buy it. You can hardly move the tail even tc 0! It's a grip monster!

Have to agree with this one. With online it's perfectly tame even without aids.
 
Audi Pike Peaks Quattro (The concept for the later Audi Q7) ... well I don't know what has driven me spending close to 1.5 Mio. credits for that big ugly standard car. Well at least I can win the German-car-only events with that. And on a funny side, using the ''bumper cam'' still gets you a viewpoint higher than the roof of most other cars :dopey:

But seriously 1.5 Mio ... ? Well its a concept car ... 👎
 
The Citroen GT Concept Race Car. Only car I've ground for, indy over and over, to find out it isn't fast enough for Like The Wind. Massively disappointed. And now I've just won another in B-Spec :/
