the 3000gt is a great car, it was my bread winner once I got enough $$$ to build it up, in GT1 and in 2 I believe as well. The thing with it is, for me, it is a powersteer-drifter mobile. This means NO tire life in a race, which of course is bad news in a course where pitting can become crucial. On the flipside, awd will be much easier to drive with dead tires, if it's setup correctly. As for hp numbers, if you deck out the older 3000gt in GT3, and change the oil and such, you're looking at 1053hp

(but again, a bad thing if tire wear means alot in a race) About the elise, it's a great car, but as stated, you really have to learn how to drive it, otherwise it will oversteer like a beast. especially bad when cresting a hill AND going into a corner, LOL. The jag is a brick. I was also disgusted by the engine note the other night, when I was comparing it to an aston martin. I agree, the Z06 rocks. It's stuck to the road pretty well until the 900hp starts to come into play. sounds great too

I'd say get the vette or get somthing like a subaru or lancer and spend a little cash to get it started.. Of course if you aren't particularly trying to get the game beat, just buy whatever looks and sounds cool. You'll win some money with it somewhere
