Here's an interesting one.
In the old PP500 I used to use an Integra because I found it good for close, competitive racing against other Integras, Focus STs, Golf GTIs etc.
I came off holiday to find it had been replaced with the PP600. I decided to use an Integra still, fully tuned to it's 581PP potential, and it's proved very competitive indeed. I haven't been beaten once at Daytona Road, and I usually come top three at Suzuka (the only real tracks I race online at).
However, the 600 point limit opens up the car choice very wide indeed - you can be vaguely competitive in anything from the Tuned Cappucino, through an Elise, right to a de-tuned Ferrari F430.
I personally enjoy beating the Ferraris, GTRs and Tuned Clio V6s in a FWD Integra.
What do other people here use, if you race in the PP600 events at all?
EDIT: Now that PP500 is the lowest event (and professional physics only), what car do you prefer to use for this now?
As you can see from my sig, I've mainly been using the Golf Mk4 and the Elise. The Elise is good slidy fun and the Golf is a bit different - not many people seem to use it but it's a pretty good car. I've had numerous wins in either car.
Today though I bought the Citroen C4, the Focus ST and the Mazda Atenza and raced each online.
And my god are the Atenza and Focus good when they're tuned to the 500PP limit. For 500PP I put full race tyres on the Focus and even raised the weight a little and I'm sure it gripped better than the Integra even, and the Atenza seemed really well balanced for such a big car. No wonder more people seem to be using these now instead of the Integra.

was first car to tune for 600pp but slowly getting tired of it. Could be difficult to find a car that´s equal in performance with the tuned X´s... Also 512bb sometimes, need to use that one more often. Somehow I feel not to use 4wd, as they seems too easy to handle ---> might get bored. 
NSX might be next on the list.
So many cars still to get my teeth into. 👍
