The Esperante is definately a luxury vehicle, one that I think represents a rare Polyphony hat's off to American racing. It seems superior to any representation in past Gran Turismo's, but perhaps I happened on a good tune. It's performance rivals GT-LM cars as testafied in its occasional inclusion in the AI line-up for that level race. Worth the money? Certainly if you have a Gameshark or 100%; but then the rich kids always get the nice toys...wait, isn't that what part of Gran turismo is all about? 💡
