I used a R32 GTS-t and won easily. If you've got it the R30 Racing Skyline is a ringer. I've beaten the GT world Champion ship with that car. Set up right it will lap suprisingly fast.
I suggest using either the lancia collezione, or trampio (if REALLY desparate). I remember this also being a problem race when i first tried. I remember using my 394hp S4 and only winning after like 5 attempts. Now i can easily beat the gt40 in 340hp+ cars, although one mess up at that fast S-sweep, and that ford is sniffing around for scraps in no time....
I have successfully beaten the last Historic Car Cup race many a times with guess what:
A Nascar Taurus!
Yes, a Taurus! A frikin FF. Heavy as a mofo. It registers nicely into the HP bracket(394hp race?). I kept ahead of the GT40 all the way. Beat it starting up accelerating and took turns way better.
The problem is usually that in that last race there is a HP limit of 295 HP. The dang GT-40 has 305, and puts it on the ground extremely effectively.
The car that I usually use for that particular race (at Rome) is the RX-7 GT-C. I just put tires, Full-race Trans, triple plate clutch, and racing flywheel.
The last item allows me to rev much faster and with some fiddling with the gear box, I can usually keep up with the GT-40 on acceleration, and outrun it on top end.

if you can get out in front..and stay out in front..you should beat him.
that's ridiculous
