Night races were the coolest, in fact they still are in my opinion. When I started GT1 back in oh, about 1999 or 2000 (late I know, that was when I heard about it), I absolutely hated SSRR11, now it's my "Showdown" stage. .
Nice, another SSR11 fan . Just like you, I absolutely despised SSR11 in my early GT1 days. Matter of fact, I don't remember when I started liking it . Anyway, long story short, I forced myself to drive countless laps on it in order to improve my skills. I was having trouble passing the I-A license back then, and I figured the only way to improve would be to race the hardest track in the game again and again. So I did, and I began to destroy the AI left right and center on that track. After that everything is just history...
I have always said that if the NSX handled as badly in real-life as it does in GT1, Honda/Acura would have had a slew of NSX-based lawsuits to contend with.
Actually, the NSX is quite notorious for tricky handling in real life as well. I remember reading an article somewhere that says early NSXs are prone to lift-off oversteer and oversteer at high speeds. Hence when the 2nd generation (NA2) NSXs come along Honda purposely made the suspension setup understeer by default. Personally, I think NSXs handle beautifully. A bit tricky on the limit, but all good handling cars are (TVRs and Elises anyone?). Think of it as the antichrist to the Nissan GT-R.
