Lightweight cars draw the short straw in GT5?

I would love more Europeans models (and American models) but as far as the highly modded cars, yes you can pump ridiculous amounts of boost into many different cars, but how many of those 1000hp Supra's or Skylines do you see being driven for extended periods on a track? I think most track cars tend to favor balance and longevity over high boost and insane peak power figures. That's not to say those 1000hp+ cars don't end up on the track from time to time, but they're usually built for street use and bragging rights. I think in their opinion this made it more realistic rather than less. Just my guess though.

Depends on what you consider exteneded periods track driving. There's countless numbers of 1000+bhp cars running in Time Attack competitions al over the world. And most of those are Evos, using stroked versions of their original engines. In fact theirs an Evo over here that produces 1000+bhp from it's original 1997cc engine. Yes, it only does a few laps before it needs a rest and it'll be rebuilt very often, but why can't we have these features in GT5? We already have them to an extent, but as with most things they're have arsed attempts, which is disappointing.

And as for one car dominating all, that's true to real life is it not? Hence why regulations are imposed in competition and PD added PP points to online play :)
 
For that matter, cars that can't be tuned with turbo but can get supercharger.. that bothers me too because I've seen them in magazines with twin turbo putting out mass HP but in the game it simply wont allow it.. and yet other cars can have high rpm turbo that makes no sense to have, and doesn't add weight somehow.. i mean sure it's a game, but on that notion why aren't there any bonus-like races? That is, something wildly outrageous.. something fun. This game just reminds me of the same thing we've seen for years, and winning Like the Wind for money instead of a possible tournament for a big prize also makes me feel robotic at times.. I hope a new patch is released soon that will really open this game up to its true potential, because there is some there, it's just being hampered by disabled buttons D:
