Funny thread but it's true when AI use this car all the other cars in tuning class (except Zonda R) are simply useless. PD had the BAD idea to mix these no-street-legal-race-ready supercars into the tuning class, which is based on street tuned sport cars like R34 Mines, Art Morrison and stuff like that. :ouch: A dumb move because it's ruining tuning races in arcade mode, and at the same time you can't use ZondaR nor AmuseGT1 against proper race cars.. like FordGT Test car II.
 
I just used this car to win all five races of the Tuned Car Championship. Damn! This car is fast! I loved the Amuse S2000 GT1 in GT4. This version of the S2000 GT1 in GT5 is just incredible... and it packs a turbo. Sick car. A few times, it was a bit tough to keep the car stable in tight corners. Otherwise, I got plenty of love for this car.
 
The Amuse S2000 GT1 is a wonderful machine in it own class :D! I have several of these in many colours(Lime Green Metallic included :D) and I love them all. You have to spend a lot of time adjusting the supension, springs and the wheel alignment you can have a geat time attack/hotlapping S2000, but it takes trial and error when doing it.

Yeah when the AI drive it, they can get out of hand when using it espically if you crash and they were on you like a preadator chasing its prey, they got you and if you don't catch them they won :grumpy:.

But the Amuse S2000 performs admirably when you tweak the car, heck even in stock form it's great IMO. But it's also what a person desires or perfers in car A over car B or vice versa, some types of cars on GT5 and other games appeal to many people than others, but also realize even cars that you despise can change your whole idea or opinion on it.

So try it out sometimes it can open new experience to you.
 
This actually is one of the cars i enjoy driving the most. Why? Because of its great handling. It`s very forgiving to my many mistakes and it handles even better with TCS switched off. It`s one of those cars i can easily drive nurburgring without much frustration. It isn`t too fast so i can actually relax and enjoy myself on that difficult track.

For instance, if i use a LMP on nurburgring i have to concentrate hard not to make too many big mistakes. And most of the time i just want to enjoy myself without too much effort.

It is in its own class for what it is, sadly. Apart from perhaps a good enough CT230R driver. Also, I think that Lime Green Metallic isn't as bad as I said it was now. It makes some cars look like tasty pears. :)

And yes, the AI is still my personal haters gonna hate part of this car. :D
 
Ironic or funny? I made my first-ever 10K+ drift trial run (sector based)... using the Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo! That's even though I knocked its drifting ability in my previous post! All I had to have was Sports Hard tires and loads of luck. But... I did it, and with the car I slightly knocked for its drift ability. Strange how things work sometimes, eh?

It sounds awesome in my opinion but the gearbox is too loud in GT5 for the Amuse S2000 GT1 '04
 
Lol @ drifting being uncontrolable. It's the only car I use for drift trials, works fine if you know how to drive...

me too, this beauty car gave me over 1,000 points in Laguna Seca's Corkscrew section in the drift trial at the first try 👍
 
Strange, I am running this car in our online CBRC tuner event, sure it needs a little work but it handles awsome. (We are racing with Race mediums) It is a fantastic car.


EDIT

We are running tuner cars at 570pp
 
WARNING! The following post contains excessive ranting and may almost certainly definitely surely must has to cause some upsetting with some people.

OK...I've had it. I have had it with this car. I can now finally come to the conclusion that perhaps the worst car in GT5 is this...

The Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo.

Now you may be thinking "What?! How is this super mega really fast thing the worst car in GT5 OMG OMG OMG". But actually, I have many, many reasons why I consider this to be the worst (or at least my least favourite) car in the game.

Firstly. Its looks. Seriously, I know PD designed the actual bodykit, but seriously...what is this?!

Superspeedway-Daytona_1-1-1.jpg


The front end looks like it's been on steroids (which is essentially what this car is - on steroids) and the rear end looks like parts added on to make it look like a square. And that wing...seriously, what the 🤬?! That wing is probably the size of Japan itself!

The interior doesn't help either. All it is is a jacked up S2000's interior...painted in a really annoying red. And when you try to look back in that view...you see the giant wing on the back blocking your way! Ridiculous!

Secondly, I'd like to bring you onto the most annoying part of this car. The way the AI performs with it. You heard that correctly, the way the AI performs with it.

There are 3 very good examples I rest my case on. Firstly, in Arcade Mode. You're looking for a good race by getting out a Super GT - any Super GT - and taking it to Daytona Superspeedway for a fast race. Unfortunately, the S2000 GT1 Turbo pops up and, since its top speed is higher, runs away from you laughing.

The second example is general Arcade Mode races. Say you wanna drive a Mine's Skyline around any track - any track, so you can have a good race with other equally matched tuners. But then the S2000 GT1 Turbo pops up - twice - and, since it destroys you in every aspect, it runs away from you laughing. Well, unless you're the Zonda R, but that's really out of place. :lol:

The last example is in the GT Mode events it appears in. That's the Tuning Car Championship, the Nurburging 4h and the Tsukuba 9h. If you're looking for a fair matchup in these events, and the S2000 GT1 Turbo pops up in any of them, expect it to stalk you around the track until you make a mistake and it runs away from you laughing.

...Yeah, the AI treats the S2000 GT1 Turbo like it's a god.

Thirdly, its stats and technology. This thing has 627hp, weighs 1120kg, has downforce, 7-speed gearbox (not adjustable from the start thankfully), and a fully customizable LSD and suspension to start. Essentially, this thing can win anything it enters in. How noobish.

Fourthly, its sound. What were Amuse thinking when they made the exhaust to the engine and what were PD thinking when they programmed in its sound? It sounds like a frog being tortured. And this thing probably could torture some frogs as well.

And lastly, but certainly not leastly, I have a tale to tell you. Which includes all different kinds of problems with this car.

I decided to somehow pluck up the courage to buy this car. It costs 250,000 Cr. Cheap, you say! Nooby, I say. Then you get to the colour selection. Who could possibly want this thing in Lime Green Metallic?! I bought mine in that colour anyway, as an insult to this car. With a gun to my head and my breath being held, I bought the car. I decided to get into it and test its engine sound. And when I did get into it, the engine sound was...

...laughable. Seriously, for a car with 600bhp+, I wouldn't expect such a weak engine sound. What it should sound like is the end of the world. Or a frog being tortured. Either way...

I checked the settings to find a rather unusual...lack of max downforce. It would only get to 20/45, which considering its looks is far too low. I didn't set it to the max downforce so I could test it in its completely stock form.

I decided to customize the car at GT Auto, and I painted it in a terrible Gold Metallic to represent its slag-like looks. I also bought new wheels to make it look...golder. Yep.

And so, I took it for a test on the Nurburgring GP/F circuit. At first, I tested it with the default settings that you would start the game with - TCS 5, ASM and SRF On, ABS 1 and Steering Sensitivity 0. I had heard people say that the handling on this car was very good. However, I was testing it stock (Sports Softs), so I didn't know what to expect. And what I did get was...

...understeer. Not a whole lot, but understeer none the less. However, on some turns, when the understeer was occuring, it would suddenly start steering dramaticaly and then just stopping. It was essentially, not good handling.

After that, I went and tried it with my preferred settings, TCS 1, ABS 1, everything else off and Steering Sensitivity to 7. And then it got worse.

Instead of understeer, I got drifting, which was absolutely uncontrollable and ended with me in a wall. When I wasn't drifting...I was still understeering. Then when I came out of the corner I got wheelspin and it drifted out of the corner. Essentially, what this made it was a ricer with ridiculous looks, ridiculous modifications, ridiculous handling and ridiculous, unnecessary amounts of power.

So, essentially I had confirmed what I had already thought of - the S2000 GT1 Turbo is the worst car in the game.

However, there was still one thing left to do...

Hope you enjoy playing your GT5 game, and hope you don't enjoy using this horrid-looking frog-sounding bad-handling over-powered AI-worshipped 🤬 of a car. Unless you're the GT5 AI. In which case I hope you enjoy winning all the time against our wishes.

Peace.

PS. Sorry to any mods if this broke any rules. Feel free to edit post, close thread or ban me where necessary. ;)

I like that car.
 
This car has to be my favorite to drive around the ring, just handles perfect at corners. It really is what you make of it.
 
There's a reason why I put the main antagonist of the 3rd volume of my fanfic in one of those...;)
 
This car was an absolute beast in GT5p and it still is...I can easily get it around the ring in mid 6's with just ABS on 1. The handling is superb with the right touch and the oversteer is very managable. And for the sound, it's pretty accurate to a highly tuned Honda 4 cylinder. You're entitled to your opinion but you might wanna try it without TCS, and that was quite a lot of rage for such a nice car. Btw nice use of the word 'nooby'...it really added to the maturity 👍
