Thanks guys - been taking advantage of the PSN downtime to get back to testing my "standard" collection 
The Alfa GT
Was not so inspiring
The Amuse S2000 however...
Less Amusing and more Amazing!
Blistering performance and road holding
A little tune to get the balance right and this could be my new favourite
I was pleasantly surprised by this Aussie race car
I still think it is butt ugly though
Ah... I call this the Blitzenwagen - it came with comfort hard tyres out of the UCD and handled like a dream...
...but only in a straight line!
Old Nissan Silvia was quite a pleasant drive
I was excited about getting my hands on the E-Type
Sponge-cake suspension
I spent most of the lap looking like this - it would have killed me several times over!
This Honda Civic, not sure which version as I have so many...
...was one of the better handling Civics I have tried
I loved this old Mitsubishi Galant
So much fun
Yet another RX7
Nearly always a fun drive
I was surprised by this performance Jaguar
Not as surprised as I was with this Legacy
Absolutely gorgeous drive
Nothing much to say about this BMW M Coupe
Although in typical girlie fashion - I like the colour
Touring in the Merc
I am not entirely sure why a turbo was wasted on this car!
Entertaining on a tight circuit though
Unlike this Citroen
This car was the very definition of understeer
The Nissan Primera
Drove as you would expect it too
As did this older RX7
I can't remember what this thing is called
Not sure I want to remember
I definitely remember this old Nissan Silvia
Fantastic fun to drive
Pao
Nice styling... I think
Protege
Nothing to see here... move along
Ah... yet another MX-5, Roadster, Miata
Yet another Skyline
This one very nearly wiped me out though
I was bitterly disappointed with this RX7
I kept misreading that logo as 'Viagra' too
Ah... S2000 - loved the metallic lime green
It came with the wrong tyres though - a total cow to control
This one, however (and yes it is a different model S2000)...
Was fabulous fun
This was not fun
The Insight
Worth taking 3 shots - I won't be driving it again
This Skyline rocked!
Must be the wing
This old MR2 rocked as well
Underpowered, only the 1600, but beautifully balanced
The Jaguar S-Type had balance and poise in abundance
Unlike this Takata NSX - in fact the textures were so hideously lo-res that...
...they distracted me so much!
One of the best used cars I have found in GT5 so far
Stunning to drive - right out of the box
This Vibe gave me vibes...
None of them were good
I had some fun in this Viper though
Not as much fun as I had in this one though!
...and finally
Yet another variation of the RX7
Hope you liked them - more to come soon, including how I almost killed my virtual self in the Jenson Interceptor

I don't think I ever want to take pics of standards as some of them are just damn ugly and trees in GT5 looks disgusting too>_<
But nice to see you actually bother to take pics of standards.

Love the PAO! 
If you enjoyed the PAO, you should try the BE-1, the Honda N360, and especially the Honda Z Act. (Upgrade the Z Act, put it on racing tires, and run it through the k-cup seasonal tracks - it's a kooky zoomy funny little car!)
Obviously I'm not a premium snob. LOL
Most of my favourite cars are not "premium". Wish all cars were, but they're not, and I'm not going to let that stop me from enjoying all the cars the game has! (Except maybe not all 30-something Skylines. haha)

Another update in the standard car diary! Like it! 
Tried drifting with the BP/Falken RX-7 an the Blitz R34? I've got the RX-7 myself but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for the replies everyone
@Jason_B very true, it would appear that those V8's are indeed designed purely to be monsters
@franz thank you, I just like to share my thoughts on these cars and glad you like the captions
@catastrophe I know a lot of the standard cars are really rather ugly but there are some hidden gems amongst them
@watermelonpunch if you follow my thread back a little you'll see that some of the most fun I have had has been in the little, often overlooked, cars
@[Nor]MclarenF1 I couldn't get the Falken Rx7 to drift at all and when I tried it in the Blitzenwagen it just ate me for breakfast lol
@ceiling_fan thank you so much, that is the first time I have used the partial colour filter. I steer away from filters as they can be overused but it just felt like the right thing to do for that shot.

Thanks guys
I don't know why there is so little love for some of these standards - the physics modelling of them is so unique between each model it really is a joy to try them all out, even the insignificant seeming cars can provide a lot of fun

I just realised it has been exactly a month since I last uploaded a batch of GT pictures... time for another update I think!
The Amuse S2000
Nice to look at
Bit of a handful though
Mazda Atenza - nothing noteworthy
This Autobacs MR2 was outstanding!
Wonderfully balanced
Not all MX-5's are the same - this one was great fun to 'play' with
Though the Camaro was quite, well, bland
A beautiful Corvette
That ate me alive and spat out the bones!
Nissan Fairlady Roadster
Not a bad drive - well balanced
This GT2000 almost killed me
Handling was worse than the Jaguar E-type
Yet another NSX
I had some awesome fun in this S2000
I could have drifted it all day long
This S2000, a different model apparently, was not so much fun
I did manage quite a rooster-tail out of it though
The Jenson Interceptor was quite a challenge
Bear in mind I test all these used cars exactly as they arrive - no tuning, no change of tyres (except rally cars) and no oil change
I suspect a little tuning would make this a real treat to drive
This Lancer was one of the nicest Rally Cars 'out of the box' that I have tested
Nicely balanced with predictable handling
Shame about the 8bit pixelation in the smoke - come on PD, you can do better!
This is supposedly different to the other one I have - look and drive identical to me
This, errrr, Mazda something... I don't even remember driving it!
I remember this piece of classic muscle though
Total soft suspension fun!
I could not keep the Mines Lancer on the track!
It did arrive from the UCD with comfort hard tyres though
Yet another MX5
Another NSX - though this one was torturous on the track
Pink and Fit? is that even possible?
Uninspiring is the word
How ugly is the Opel Roadster?
I have driven vans that handled better!
Don't dismiss the little guys...
This Suzuki Wagon was great fun around a tight track
This TVR surprised me too
Managed my 2nd fastest time on the Top Gear Track
Quite a looker too
Last but not least - The Loctite Zexel Nissan Skyline
One word - Astounding! Oh yes, this was a blast!
Hope you liked them - testing continues

Thanks guys .... I just use Lightroom to adjust the balance on tonal qualities, exposure and mayble a little vignetting - cropping of course, but other than that no photoshop editing at all
Glad you like them.

nice pics, it's hard to make good shots of standard models 👍
