Im looking at JGTC cars for the Super GT A-Spec event

The FR drivetrains are typically 463BHP/1100kg

The MR drivetrains are typically 453BHP/1050kg

I have found a Toyota FR which is better than others at that price (750k) - it is 493BHP/1100kg, but i've also found a Honda MR which is 453BHP/1000kg

The figures may not be 100% correct but good enough, i just basically want to know how many of you would go for the FR because of it's PP advantage or the MR because the tracks include Suzuka Circuit and a couple other ones with plenty of cornering and wide road.

It is difficult to compare a statistical advantage over an on-track advantage.

Any advice on this? Help would be really appreciated as this car will cost over half my credits. Thanks :)
 
If you can wait 8 hrs. let me know what car you want & I'll send it to you.
I myself prefer MR since they seem more nimble on most tracks to me.

that would be great thanks but can we call it a loaner?

basically i have a primary account with a big garage but im having trouble sending a car over. Whichever one i choose it says "this car cannot be sent" or something. i havent been playing gt5 in a while is this something else i've missed? i only just noticed now when i tried sending my money maker plus two others. perhaps its because its a secondary account on the same machine (??)

anyhoo, im totally patient and could do with a few cars for specific events...

Lamborghini DIABLO
Opel Astra Touring Car / BMW M3 GTR Race Car (i think the Opel is better i cant recall)

if you could lend me one in 8 hrs that would be brill thanks, I will send it back as soon as i can though as it doesnt feel right taking a car from you i already have on another account.

hows that sound? :)

OR come to thing of it if maybe you can explain why im having the problem sending cars over maybe im not doing something right then itd be no problem.

thanks man :)

EDIT: PS. Do you by any chance know how to use cars that friends have set to online? I set a few on my main acct. Does it only work with online races or something? Ta :)

Just click on the car and borrow them

I will be home later this afternoon (I'm CST Us Time) and do this. Plz send FR to Delta795 and I'll accept when I get home
 
There's not much of a difference in my opinion. The R35 GT500 cars are pretty stable, and so are the SC430's.
 
You won´t make a mistake by just buying one blind.
The Motul Autech GTR is my favourite (if fully tuned it gets 523kw mine isn´t fully run in).
But I can produce almost the same laptimes with all of the Cars.

Lexus: Stable and easy to get consistant lap-times
NSX: A bit faster due to MR layout (mainly because I like MR´s the most), but tricky sometimes.
GTR: Like the Lexus.
Supra: Fast too but there is only one modern one. Stock it´s equal, but tuned it has less power. The old one is stock almost perfect.

Try the standards. There are some pretty nice ones: Woodone Supra, Diablo, Takata NSX ´03, Penzoil Nismo GTR ´99, Xanavi Hiroto GTR (just for the looks ;)) and the auCerumo Supra (the one that one the Championship without winning a race).

As I said, just buy any of the JGTC/SuperGT/GT500-Cars they are all major fun.
 
thanks Delta you are a lifesaver! i've managed to share cars from my primary account when i need to.

thx for the advice King Sakery - the DIABLO is my absolute fave for that event but all of these cars are very expensive and I like to customise lol

in the end i bought a premium NSX and tuned it up. it aint as easy as the DIABLO but i likes me a challenge lol :)
