In GT games which cars have you spent the most time in.

It's tough for me to speak on which car I've used the most. My short list comes down to the Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO, Toyota GT-One (Road Car), the Peugeot 206 Rally Car, the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak, maybe the 1997 Camaro Z-28... As much as I am a ten-year veteran of the series, I can't really trace the car I've used the most through my history playing Gran Turismo games.
 
GT1: Most likely the Supra RZ or R33 Race car.
GT2: The HKS drag R33 and 180SX and the little known DelSol LM car
GT3: TOMS Chaser got me into drifting big time.
GT4: FPV Typhoon and Blitz R34 D1 car.
GT5P: Ferrari F430.
GT5: Will be the R35 GTR and a Lambo hopefully LP640:drool:
 
^ the DelSol LM ;) indeed fine machine.

For me I remember these:
GT1: MX-5 (first car, and kept + treasured and tuned :)), Cerbera LM, Impreza LM
GT2: FTO LM, Race modded TVR Griffith
GT3: Z06, CTR 2 (trying to cure it)
GT4: Chapparral 2J
Prologue: 512BB <3

oh and the Zonda S in Gt4:P was a gem.
 
Viper RT/10 and GTS ,
FTO LM Edition
GTO LM Edition
Escudo
Polyfony 001 , 002 and FGT

The Vipers (stock) beat Rally cars in all GT's (career mode / GT mode) races on tarmac.

The 4WD's were the perfect overkill in GT1 and GT2 .
The F1 cars did same for GT3 and GT4 .
In GT3 the Escudo was just a tool for easy money/Credits at Like The Wind race.
For GT1 there was the 20.000 Credit pole position prize at SS11 endurance.
And for GT2 there was Red Rock Valley Speedway.

The simple reason why those cars have the highest mileage and most time spent on them.

I played so much redrock valley it's all I remember about GT2 (Gran Turismo all stars, 250k +TVR speed 12 that sells for 250k = 100k per lap). What I don't remember is what I did in GT4 for money.

I wonder what the money grind race will be in GT5. It's sure to have one and I'm sure we will all milk it for our car collection.

back OT:

I did spend more than a little time in the proto motors spirra.

I think you're in the wrong thread.

That's just it. You thought. But, no one asked for your thoughts. So you thought wrong.

In GT games unless you have a cheat code or you took the easy way out and loaded your GT3 save data to GT4, you start with a limited amount of credits. And due to that, you can only buy one car. And that car is a cheap small car. And I chose the Miata. Which was used a lot. And if anyone acts like their first few cars aren't used as much as other cars, they're wrong. No one uses a race car for every race, because they aren't allowed. So adding up all the times you've started a new GT game, it's been your first car which for me stays the same, the Miata.

Actually, no, Red had it (half) right. You're making a huge assumption that everybody plays the same way as you. My starter cars have never ended up with high mileage (that I've put on myself, anyways). I trade up to a mid-level car pretty quickly. And time-wise, you could finish a ton of races in the Miata, in Beginner and Amateur Leagues, and still not touch the mileage someone will rack up on a lone run through the F1 Championship series. More mileage, and more total time invested.

Plus, most people don't only play the game for completion percentages. They'll take a car to a track just to see how fast they can push it. They could be competing in things like the old online (er, offline ;)) racing around here. There's literally endless possibilities. My highest-mileage car in GT4 is my Alfa 155 Touring Car. Because I've ran it in the DTM series dozens, upon dozens, upon dozens of times, for money to fund my buying sprees.

If the question was "which car have you owned the longest?", well... that's really "what was your first car?" worded differently. Red said you were in the wrong thread, and that's not entirely true; for you the Miata, or ITR, or RX-7 could've very well been your most-used cars. But you trying to say peoples answers aren't realistic (or that the smart first-car choice is a Miata) is just wrong. I didn't use the GT3 credit cheat, and guess what my first car was? The '98 M Coupe :D.
 
FC3S RX-7. I usually start with it. Keep racing with it. After it isn't needed for any more races, i down grade the power and drift it.
 
Hmmm....

Over all the games (though I never bough 3 I did rent it), I would say I've done the most laps/mileage in -

SN95 both the old and New Edge Style Mustangs. I had a Mustang GT in GT1, I had modified a Mustang GT into the Saleen S351 and won an SR. In GT3, I had a New Edge Mustang GT. In GT4, I still do have a Cobra R but with a Blown Engine (700hp) and a new style Mustang GT with about 350hp and BBS wheels.

Once you get up to cars that really need some downforce, the Mustangs struggle. The S351 was effective for awhile and so was the SR.

Other than that, seem I have many miles in EVO's all the way back to EVO IV in GT1, Skylines, Silvias and Dodge Neons. Neons were not in GT1, but GT2 and GT3 and I believe GT4.

The only other car I can think of that I have spent alot of time in is a Dodge Viper. An effective street weapon and just as effective racecar. GT1 didn't really have any prototypes in it, so the Viper in GT1 spec (600-650hp) was plenty of car. Once the prototypes started in GT3, the cars from the Group C era are super fast (220+mph).

Actually you got it wrong too. The thread was which car you've spent the most time in. I said the first cars have to looked at because they get you to where you are. So no, I'm not making a huge assumption. Unless you race the same races over and over and gain money or sell your first car to get a new one, that first car is usually the one that you spend a lot of time in. It's just obvious. Instead people were naming off all these race cars like this was their 'favorite car thread' not most used. Of course you use your favorite car, but how many of us actually can say they had a race car for most of the races? Not a lot. Normal cars seem to be overlooked, those normal cars get you those race cars.

If you read my post I said that I didn't use my first car the most. I said people are forgetting their first car like they can't give it credit. And for me my first car is usually the miata. light weight, rwd, cheap... etc. It gets the job done. Of course you have to use other cars. And as you progress the races get longer with more laps. That's not to say you spend more time with that car than you do with your first car(s) you just race a longer race. You can race 10 races with your first car and race one race with your race car or favorite car (say a 24hour race) so technically you used that one more, but you didn't race it in more races. Obviously this thread is about what cars YOU have spent the most time in. I said my cars, but I also added which cars and which games. I just said keep it realistic and let us know what cars you start out with too cus in reality no one just uses race cars.

I can't remember what i drove most in GT1 and GT2 :scared: In one of the two I used to drive the Mitsubishi GTO a lot...
GT3 never made it to my games collection.

In GT4 I drove the Suzuki GSX-R/4 a lot. It's easy to handle and fun to drive.
Besides that I spend a whole lot of time driving the BMW M3 (on normal tyres) around the ring.
 
GT1: Can't Remember
GT2: Calsonic(Spelling?) R-34 GTR
GT3: New Edge Mustang
GT4: Ford Lighting SVT
GT5P: Suzuki Cappuccino/HP Tuned(Fun little car)
 
In gt5 prologue it was F2007 and nissan 350z
 
GT - Mitsubishi 3000GT Twin Turbo
(It CRUSHED everything Lol)

GT2 - Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Version
Pennzoil Nismo GT-R

GT3 - Nissan Skyline GTR R34
Calsonic Skyline GTR ('00)

GT4 - Nissan Xanavi Nismo GT-R
Nissan Motul Pitwork Z

GT5P - Mine's Skyline GT-R
(It handles like A DREAM!)

:drool::sly::dopey::)
 
Hmm I only remember the yellow bird in GT4... M3 GTR was also nice...
 
BMW M3 GTR Race Car '01 in GT4 was easily my most driven car.
In GT5P- I love the Evo X tuned by GT. Love the handling of it, and turns into a great drift car if tuned properly.
 
Out of all of the GT games, I would say that I've overall spent the most consistent amount of seat time in the Corvette Grand Sport. I always end up with 2 or 3 of them, and they are always tuned for different purposes. A similar car that I've used for similar purposes is the TVR Griffith 500, though I could never figure out how to drive it very well in the original GT.
The second-gen CRX is a car that I've used in every game I could get my hands on it, but I ended up never using it in GT4 because of how FF cars drove in that game (I went back to using it in GTPSP, though). Another one that I constantly use in GT2 (though not so much in GT4 or GTPSP) is the Mercury Cougar, which was an absolute monster in GT2, easily being the best of the muscle cars in that game. Especially when tuned.
 
I would say I have spent the most time in various NSXs and Skylines. Big fan of them. :)
 
I don't recall which I used most in GT4, but I know in GT3 it was definitely the Camaro Race Car. Holy poop that thing was powerful and fast. I think I had it pushing 950hp after upgrades and tuning.

And I was overjoyed because I got it fairly early in one of the "1-of-4 roulette" prizes for an early set of races.
 
For me the most common car to drive was a Dodge Viper GTS/GTS-R. Usually it'd either be a race variant or a fully modded version. In GT3 a relied on 1000+ hp viper for just about an race. It's so easy to drive. As for GT4, man I don't even know. I liked to drive so many cars in that game I'd get lost. I'm going to say I spent the most time in the Vipers, CLK-GTR, TVR Speed 12, Toyota 88C-V and Nissan R92CP. Oh and when I could, the Formula GT.
For GT5P, I used the Viper a lot, as well as the Mine's R34, Ferrari F430, 512BB and the F2007.

I honestly have no idea what is going to happen with GT5, but I have a gameplan down to get off the fround so, see what happens.
 
For me it was the 67(?) Chevelle. I loved making it into a genuine track star.
 
Dodge Viper GTS.

Absolute monster in GT1.
A bit toned down in GT2.
A holy beast in GT3, especially top end.
A tad bit toned down in GT4, but still a beast.
Didn't play GT5P.
Awesome car in GTPSP.
Hopefully it'll be in the spotlight of GT5!!!
 
from gt1 to gt4 .... my favorite car......Dodge Viper ........ the car i drive the most in any racing game..............
 
In GT4, my insane crazy-tuned 90s camaro race car. I could swear that thing had 1,000,000bhp! All I did was just select every tuning option and see what happened! Even on racing tyres it had NO grip whatsoever!
 
Even going back to the original GT; I've toyed the most with RX-7 variants and stayed away from most, if not all, AWD cars. Don't know why, RWD has always felt 'right' when going around a track.

Non-turbo Ruf cars were another fav.
