GT5: The Ultimate
What cars were you inspired to buy after driving them in any of the game modes such as License test, Missions, Special Events etc?

For me its the Ferrari Dino and Alfa Romeo TZ3
  • Dino Driving it in the mission race around Apricot hill was great, no brakes until after the long straight leading to the uphill right hander, sounds great on the downshifts there too
  • TZ3 When I first saw it on the list I was it's just a rebodied Viper so I paid no attention to it, but when I drove it in the Goodwill Special Event I knew I wanted one, when it launches in no time at all you are at the first corner, handling is great, sound isn't too bad and having a 15th AE Viper they feel quite different to me. Sad it can't be painted though
 
The Mazda Roadster Touring Car was quite nice to drive in the licence test at Apricot Hill, it stuck to the road and gave me confidence to go even faster round the corners.
 
After the final super license test I decided to buy a Veyron...

...is what no one has ever said

I said to myself upon seeing the interior and experiencing the acceleration of it I must have one, then I finished my first timed lap 9 seconds off Bronze. I eventually got bronze but after many tries.

Eventually I will go back to Gold the rest of the S License as I've golded every other license class, depending on how that test do I might purchase one, heck maybe after a few more seasonals and there is spare cash.

Bought the Ford GT40 straight after driving it at the Goodwood trials.

That's the only car I couldn't launch properly, felt slow off the line, was expecting more.
 
How does the TZ3 drive?
Finally got around to buying it last night, went for a lap around Ascari, handles decent so far, didn't put much effort as I had bought a whole lot of other super cars and wanted to get in atleast a lap of each. I didn't get a clean lap was carrying too much speed through the corners and it understeered a lot, it just has loads of speed, felt stable in the corners I did manage to take correctly though.
