I voted for the RX-7, viper 2nd, and skyline 3rd. Rx7 is the best because its so freaking easy to drive. But 2nd i'd have to say the viper because i can drive it better than most people. The viper is all about weight shifting. In real life, its a freaking workout to drive a viper, so thats why the car is like that in the game. Try drifting a viper compared to a RX-7 and you will be doing twice as much wheel work. Both are fun to drive. Too bad i wont get to show u all what i mean about the viper untill the online version of gt come sout.... :indiff:
 
My choice is Honda NSX-R or R390 GT1 Road Car (both new version)
 
Yeah, viper is great with weight shifting - have a replay of first corner in Laguna Seca, when I let go the wheel just before the turn starts with aproximately 10-20 degrees of wheel lock, powerslided the whole turn and at the exit just gave a bit of anti wheel lock and accelerated away. The mimum speed in corner was aproximately 10km/h faster as in "grip" cornering with same settings - basically default :). And I was able to repeat that more than 20 times in 30 tries. It was great feeling.

Famine: mr. and mrs. RUF said themselves, that they modify porsches. The base for RUF Turbo-R is stil a 996 Turbo, which is then stripped out a lot and with some basic components changed. So that makes it a modified porsche, no matter what. They don't make their own complete cars. They just mix the best components together as they know which ones to use (experience).
 
Alois Ruf Junior - the owner of Ruf GMbH - inherited the company from his father, Alois Ruf Senior.

Ruf will also modify Porsches. However, they are a recognised car manufacturer, under German law, since over 70% of their cars are fabricated and assembled by them. The official car manufacturer's name which will appear on the Vehicle Registration Document (or equivalent) is "Ruf", not "Porsche". The Ruf Turbo R is a Ruf Turbo R, not a Porsche 996 Turbo. It may look like one, but it isn't one.
 
According to GT3Times.com, the fastest recorded time for Midfield using a non-race-car is

413 WasteGate Toyota 1999 GT-One (TS020) Road Car 1122 MT MR 8/5/04 11:14 AM Logitech GT Force 0:55.305

Take that however you wish. I also may have skipped a faster time, but I seriously doubt it, as that's an amazing laptime.

Ya but calling the GT-One road car and actualy "road" (non-race) car is iffy at best. That and the R390 "road" version. Sure the lemans rules required "road" production versions of said cars but come on those are race cars tuned down very slightly with no graphics.....
 
Well ... yeah. (: That's why I stick with simple answers like ...

S2000 or death!

You see, it's much simpler that way.

I will agree with all of the RGT people out there, I believe this is the best modded street car out there for driving / racing purposes.....minus detuned race cars like the 390 or the gt1 .......there are like Jelly Doughnuts, with some of the jelly removed....
 
The 5 of the top 6 cars in my GT3 sim garage with the most miles on them are "road" normal cars;

- RUF RGT, 2734miles (all mods/parts) I recently played through as much or GT3 as i could (in all the races the car can be entered in, including rally and enduros, not the F1 race though) using ONLY this car in various states of tuning. The ONLY series I can't win with it is the pro league/GT All-stars, I've tried 3 times and each time the R390 beats me in total points, closests was 2 points, farthest was 8. The Lemans cars just take the corners faster. Usually waht I do is set the car up in qualifying to be withing .5 of the pole +/-, anymore or less I keep tuning until the car is tned/de-tuned to get that window. Most races the RGT can win with i around 660hp, all the rallys are easily winable with the car at is base HP.

-Nissan Skyline r34, 1391miles (all mods/parts) used much like the RGT but in the 4wd and JGTC series

-Lotus Elise 190, 1193miles (full mods/parts), used in aam/pro MR (just not enough grunt in the pro level), spider and elise series. Next to the RGT my favorite car to drive in GT3. This one gets alot of "free" driving too, driving it jsut to enjoy driving it, like the RGT.

- VW New Bettle, 341 miles (all mods/parts), my favorite FF car used to win all FF series and bettle cup.

lastly, technically this would be a road car though it is a race car in GT3

- TOmmy Kiara ZZII, 927miles (base , full set of race ties though). I use this as my "race car", like to win the Pro/GT all stars.

- Viper GTS, 2103miles (full mods/parts), used like the RGT and skyline for FR and American races...

I can't think of any race cars in GT3 that "move" me like the above cars. i find myself using them only when i am forced to, which isn't often....

lol. RUF and porche are on par w/ ferrari. Whenever you see those 3 names you can always expect amazing handling. 👍 Nobody buys ruff RGT and drives them around normaly without heading to the track, autox. or unless they are collectors, so it really doesnt count as a road car to me, its really a super car.

ANd if only 1 road going version of the car was made, i dont really count it cus they just made it so they could race the Race version.
 
I had to vote for the Lotus 350. When fully modded, it's the only car that I can control. I have spent more than a few miles in a Loaded RGT, but it's just too much for me.

Lotus 350.

Only very recently have I come to terms with a fully load 1100hp RGT, that is after almost 3 years playing GT3, where I feel as though i drive it 'well". I still prefer the RGT under 600hp though.

The Speed12 is the car I have the most issues "controlling", especially fully loaded. it is a beast, but alot of fun.

He said that at a press conference, he was asked how people were meant to drive one home from work, and he replied, they can't. in an interview by EVO he also went on to say how he drove the car home from the factory and it scared him ****less, he also said how much he loved the car, but it was just too much for the roads and wouldn't want people to kill themselves or other people in one.


:lol:

It would appear that no only do we have the same taste in cars my friend but that we also read the same mags/visit the same sites/go to the same races :D.

One thing I've always maintained is that in GT3 (unlike in GT2) PD modelled the 'as is' road car rather than the race car. Now if they'd used that in GT3 then I'd be a VERY happy man (considering that out on the real world track it ate GTSR Vipers, Lister Storms et al for brealfast :cheers:!).

As to the poll (quickly veers on topic) then I guess I'd have to choose the Lotus. The RGT fully modded is faster and recovers better from cornering mishaps but the Lotus is so much purtier :).
 
I like the lotus a lot. Its so fast when tuned, except for the elise i hate that car :yuck:

The Ruf Turbo R is not a modified Porsche. It is a Ruf Turbo R. It does not start out life as a Porsche - it is built from the ground up by Ruf GMbH.

And it is in GT4, at least according to the UK owner of one who had it photographed and recorded by PD.
The RUF R Turbo is based upon the Porsche 996 chasis,they put a little things on it and voila:

0-100 km/h in 4 seconds
topspeed: 350 km/h.


RUF was created by the RUF family,first they bought porsches and then made it a little different,then Elenia RUF started his own company,RUF was born.They bought chasis' of the porsches and then made they're own car of it.
 
man, not another Ruf / Porsche Arguement.....**hack**cough**
 
hehe .... ok, no RUF/Porsche argument :).

Pink_The_Floyd: why have I got this weird feeling, taht you haven't read previous page?
 
my 3 favorite fully modded cars in different drive train formats:

FR:
1. EDIT: ECR32 GTS-t type M (1 of my first cars, point and shoot) 4'37
2. FC3S and S13 -tie. (point and shoot) 4'37 v. 4'40
3. AE86 Shigeno Special and 2nd gen miata -tie. (point and shoot) 4'16 v. 4'43

MR:
1. Esprit Sport 350 (point the wheel and shoot) 4'05
2. NSX type 0 -bonus car, a bit higher stock hp compared to normal type 0 and R. (slide in and out) 4'13
3. SW20 GT-S (a tad too sensitive, but it's a good car) 4'34

AWD:
1. Evo 6 TM edition (AYC rules, fun car) 4'35
2. TK ZZ2 (some understeer, but.. it's ok i guess...) 3'57
3. Nismo R32 (frankly, I don't really like how the BNR series is in GT3, too much understeer, same deal with the AWD FTO) 4'17 , booring.

FF:
1. FTO GP-R (scored a full 1 second lower than #2) 4'39
2. Spoon Civic (not too light weight, but rev-ing it to 16k is fun) 4'41
3. Vitz (300hp, light weight, what else to ask?) 4'54

RR:
haven't tried yet.

I only do test runs on complex string.
back in the days of GT1 though, R11 is the favorite venue, and in GT2...aparently none.
 
FR: Mazda RX-7 / 8
MR: I hate MR's blech
RR: RGT
FF: Spoon Civic & Integra Type R
AWD: CTR2
 
Has anyone tried CLK55 with 600+HP? I like it for drifting a lot, because the replays are awesome :) ...
 
i would definatly say mazda rx7 i LOVe that car the way it handles it doesnt have the power though second best is supra for downright power oh and by the way the skyline can beat the viper in acceleration in 400 m dont know bout 1000 though
 
Please try o write more understandibly. This is very unreadable ...
