Is the Prius more Dominant than the Chaparral 2J in GT5 ?

The Recent 430PP Seasonal got me asking this question. Your Thoughts?

Now introducing, the all-dam-new, Toyota Prius 2J GT-R!

Yeah. It seems that way, at least until the batteries die..

I drive that to school every day

Brilliant!👍

Well since credits are no problem nowadays ... for me, at least, the answer is no! I drive many different cars. Otherwise it's boring.

 

[lldantell]

I know no road car is more dominant then 2j because no kind of road car got a fan at the back

To the above comment, this isn't about which is faster but which is more dominant for its given PP.

Yes the Prius is one of the worst offenders of the "PP is way too low" group.

I've been waiting for PD to revisit the PP rating of many cars that out perform all other cars with the same PP. They did this for GT5 prologue. Online racing would benifit greatly.

I have developed an irrational hatred for these types of cars even if I like them in real life.

Here's my very short list of other notable offenders: almost all Hondas and Acuras (especially the NSX) , most BMWs, RX-7 FD's, most Lotuses (Loti?), Pruis, Dome Zero, and the Lancia Stratos.


Oh and thats an Awesome Photoshop pic you got there, good job!

Was going to comment, but I agree with every single word you said... except for the Lancia Stratos. Anyone who can keep that little beast on the track long enough to win a race was probably gonna beat me no matter what he was driving.

Yes its a tough one to handle but its still way, way faster when driven appropriately. I've seen it banned from quite a few historic races (and not due to it being a concept), so I know others share this view. This is one car I feel very comfortable in singling out.

Don't forget ALL R35 GTR's in the game, most overhyped, overpowered piece of crap in the game. there is no way in hell that a 1500KG boat anchor like that could ever hope to beat out the likes of higher end ferraris, GT40's, or Zondas.
I fully agree with BMW, my acronym for it is Bowel Movement Wipe. Fits in the same list as Toiletoda (toyota).

But it has a reputation for doing exactly that in the real world!?! Oh and it's over 1700kg.

PS I hope you mean the Ford GT, because the GT40 is a 1960's racing car...

Massive grip 4WD > 600+ HP spinning out every turn RWD.
GT-R is actually a great car in the real world. Not sure that's so hard to believe for everyone.

As the great Jeremy Clarkson quoted: "What it doesn't do in the straights it uses to mash your mind in the corners". Pure poetry. It's a very good, but very overused car in this game.

Make's me think of a line from a movie. " I race a Prius" 'huh' "never said I win much"

You forgot the LFA. There is a certain satisfaction that is gained when you take an ordinary car and beat an LFA at any track.

yes I do mean the Ford GT. but like I said, there is no way that something that weighs as much as a Hummer H2 could even hope to beat out most of the worlds SUPERIOR supercars, yet in the game it somehow can beat out everything under the sun. the damn thing even killed my speed 12 on sarthe with a no draft speed of 250 MPH... REALLY? Again, it an example of how overhyped and overpowered this 🤬 of a car really is.

Good thing it doesn't weigh anywhere near a Hummer H2, then.

I beat a guy with a LFA the other day in my red stratos on deep forest.I heard that guy on his Mic he was blown away it was pretty satisfying and hilarious if you tune a car right you can beat some of the fastest cars in a race

I agree, but its equally amazing how many kids think they're fast till they get challenged. All talk till the flags drop. Hard to know if it's the car, or the driver, sometimes.

Your Totaly right all show and no go, People think my cien is a joke when I pull up to race against a viper or enzo when they see me fly by going 272mph (no draft) they are baffled and its normal both you need the right car with the right driver to tune it right 👍
