Let's face it, with over 1000 cars in GT5 there's bound to be something you hate, maybe it's the common hates like the Nissan GT-R or the X2010, or maybe you just don't like the colour of your brake calipers. Whatever the reason and whatever the car, rant about it here!

Go on, tell us what's been bugging you...

Right now for me, it's the big one, the GT-R SpecV...I caved in and bought another one, then instantly hated it again. It's a brick, sounds crap and has too much power to be fun (not something I say often).
 
C-ZETA
S2k Turbo. Done.

Agreed! I found my old one at the bottom of my garage, forgot just how stupiy fast a lifeless chunk of boring could be >_<
 
I agree with C-ZETA. The S2K is so boring, even though it's one of the fastest in its class. And I'd rather not say the Skyline, as it's one of my favorite car series :p



And may I dare say the Tank Car >.< But my true disliking is the Aston Martin DB9. Too heavy it's barely drivable for me.

It's not how boring it is (it wouldn't go into corners properly).

It's just not a natural S2k at all. I mean, if it has 627bhp, a 7-speed, a turbo, a hugely stupid bodykit and the capability to chew down all Super GT's, why can't I build one from a normal S2000.

And my god does the AI love it to bits. :rolleyes:

Don't even mention the AI >_> so much fail when it overtakes you on Nurburgring 4hr
 
My pet hate is probably any severely understeering, low-power car. So boring.

Basically, the FF drivetrain as a whole then. Come on though, FTW's aren't that bad :D

Yeah, basically lol. Some (very few) of the shuffle race cars are quite fun though.
 
Go die in a fire. And get buried in an R35.

I never said I like the R35. I just said it's faster then other cars in it's class. Find a post where I say I like it and I'll give you a cookie.

Touché.
 
Lancia stratos. Love,love,love the car. But its a g.d. bear to drive.
 
Bugatti Veyron SS GT5, tuned up Veyron with stock drivetrain and suspension.

Oh, and my bobs love it
 
Ferrari Enzo Ferrari '02, the car has great speed but understeers like no other...
 
For me my hate/fear stems from a very traumatic real life experience,
I was working as a labourer doing some building work at a BMW repairs work shop and 1 day there was a M3 CSL out the front, so naturally i wanted to peek under the bonnet,
not knowing how light the plastic bonnet was it flipped up and whacked me right on the chin :(

now im reminded of that with every 530-560pp race i do online cause someone is going to bring 1 out 100%.
 
Option Stream Z
Surprisingly bad.

Oh YES! This.

Just when I got to that "Like the wind" event on Indy, I found I had no good car to tackle it with. The best Car I had at the time was the Viper ACR (or so I thought) Saw this in the UCD, looked at its power to weight. Given that it had a unique looking body, I figured it would have... downforce?
But nope.

Bought it, tuned it, raced it, lost, raged.

Ended up winning the event with a Team Oreca Dodge Viper that I got from a 1000 ticket.

Other cars I hate with a passion.
Bugatti Veyron: Despite the stereotype of everyone hating it for no reason, I still hate it. So it can win a drag race, whoopie.

FGT: I can't drive it to save my life. Finally it showed up and I bought it. Tried it out on Fuji in the FGT championship (didn't even try the whole championship, just that race) It took me about 40 tries to get 2nd. For all of it's power and speed, it doesn't have nearly enough downforce. The AI (including me B-spec idiot) can thread this thing around corners at impossible speeds and accelerate at full power without chirping a tire. When I try, I end up looking at where I came from. I even cheap'd out by turning on all the assists (including SRF) and only that managed to keep me in the race... barely.

Can't drive it, tired all kinds of set-ups. Hate it.

But I love the Ferrari F1's though. No problem driving those or winning all the races in the seasonal.

NASCAR: All of them. For cars that need only turn left, they don't even do that very well. Played an online race and after about six laps at Daytona, my tires were only slightly worn. Yet my car was so loose that I wiped out in those huge easy corners. This ruined my tires so my car was undrivable and I spun out twice on the straights before making it to the pits. Also, never managed to win any of the NASCAR events. Fortunately for my controller and whatever it might be chucked at, I got a NASCAR for free. But we all know what I won it from right? Yeah, another reason I hate NASCAR. (and Jeff Gordon) I'll also finish this up with the NASCAR seasonal at Nurburgring. Regardless of set-up or how fast I managed to launch this car through the corners, I only saw the rear end of the trailing car once. Then it disappeared over a hill and the gap gradually increased to a minute by the end of the first lap. I tried about 25 times before giving up entirely.

Thank you for your time.
 
^^^ I don't think the FGT is that bad, but you do need to ease onto the throttle when exiting corners, and NASCAR....*sighs* They handle better than I expected but I still hate those oval track races
 
Nissan R35, sure, it's a fantastic machine but who cares when it feels slow and boring;)

No drama at all, except the freaking understeer which I hate.

The car sounds awful and looks horrible, so in the end, I hate it!
 
Saleen S7.

Such a awesome car,but the dang thing Oversteers like mad.I still go back to it trying to tune it out,but man is it a pain.
 
Formula gran turismo. its standard, its ugly, and it doesnt exist in real life.

I just hate it. GT5 was supposed to be a racers delight. Yet they put in 1 formula championship. and of the THREE F1 cars in the game (2 of which you cant use) they force you to use this piece of dog crap
 
Subaru Impreza Saloon '10

After the utterly stupid Seasonal event with it I really dislike this car. And it's ugly as hell. Even though it does drive alright now I've reverted it back to stock.. but still. I majorly dislike it.
