I believe the Superbird was already defended once in this thread, but I'll say it again too; it's an alright car if you change your driving style to suit it. Brake incredibly early, and it gels a lot better. After I figured that out I was able to win that Mission with it :).

As for the 787B, I'm shocked someone doesn't like it. I find it so incredibly easy to drive, yet it still feels realistic. The Minolta feels unfairly grippy, and the other cars from the Mazda's era (the Nissan R89/R92, Sauber, etc), not to mention the GT-one, feel a lot less stable. I'm sure full-tune the more modern cars post faster times, but the 787B is the only prototype I can take around the 'Ring at full tilt... while having a discussion with someone in the room, and still post a low 5min time. The only disappointment is not being able to give it an extra gear.

What dissapointed me about the SUperbird was the fact that it accelerated like one of those japanese microcars. I could never get it to top a hundred. I would expect a 400HP car to accelerate better than that.
 
I agree, the Superbird was not modeled right at all. Those cars were quite fast, and around their time, were some of the leading cars of NASCAR.

Even with an expert drier like me at the wheel, I bounced all over the road like a kid in the Escudo.

I hope that's an example of sarcasm :rolleyes:

Thanks for remembering 👍

And as far as the Superbird, tanks have a turning radius of zero, sooooo your analogy does not work

Assuming you remembered to shift out of first, I'm not sure I understand how that could be the case

Not sure I agree. At the time, American performance was geared to the quarter mile, not road racing (with the exception of the small block versions of the Corvette and the pony cars). So the Superbird handles like any large American sedan of the time (even though it's a mid-size it is still huge and even though its a 2-door pillarless coupe its really a sedan). But take it to the drag strip (or more reasonably its non-winged regular Road Runner version) and this is a world-class competitor.

I hated the XJ220,couldn't go 217 mp/h like the real deal and it handled like a tank with a jet engine.

the road car or the race car? I also noticed you like to use something thats jet powered to discribe the cars you hate.
 
The street version had the '4 on the floor', and was geared for drag. The nascar version was obviously geared right, and hit 200 easily.

This is makin me want to go do that...

Assuming you're talking about the Superbird. Significant numbers of these cars were bought with and drag raced with automatics.

You're right about the race car, although, in my mind, to call the NASCAR racer a "version" is stretching it as this was a purpose-built race car, despite being based on the street car. And it wasn't just the gearing -the race Hemi was putting out easily 200 - 300 more HP than the stock street car.

I think you are confusing top speed and acceleration. It has quick acceleration because of its close-ratio 4 speed, but poor top end because of its close-ratio 4 speed.

Is that what you mean?
 
Well, I guess you can say that. It's close ratio transmission limits the top speed to just over 100 MPH. Again, I was expecting much more from a 400 HP car.

I actually rather to a liking to the car. It does handle badly stock, but with a little elbow grease and a couple 100, 000cr's it was a dream machine and put up a fight against my street Zonda.:) Although both cars are about as hard to drive as jet powered buses.:lol: :lol:
 
topgeardude
Now i'm starting to hate the Cizeta V16T,it was to hard to handle and was underpowered.
Click to expand...

That car is trash! Not really good at anything besides having alot of power and there are other cars with lots of power that handle a lot better!:cheers: 👍

at the moment, its the TVR Speed 12
Click to expand...
not anymore:tup: obviously, with a little tweaking in the brake balance, ASM TCS and other stuff, it handles very well. the only minor thing I can't seem to fix is it still has a little oversteer, but not bad. I was able to do a 1'42.728 around Grand Valley with no problem. and did I mention It looks bad ass with a Wing?:sly:

I agree with this fellow the TVR Speed 12 is a very vonderful machine with the right setting and skill you can get this beast to do a 1.02.xxx lap time on the Midfeild which I did. I would have to say the worst cars in GT4 are the really old FF cars in the used car lots, that can only be tuned to around 80-120hp. A few of the cars I am refering to are the Honda Life Step Van, Honda Z act, Nissan Be-1 and the Volvo 240GL Estate wagon etc.

All these cars are so very YUCK!!!!:sick: :yuck: 👎
 
I actually had a Nissan Be-1 awhile back and it was a hoot to drive! Small, Light, Decent HP! Not a supercar killer, but fun none the less.:)

(rest of listed cars sucked though)

around Grand Valley?
 
The ABSOLUTELY worst car in GT4 that can finish a race has to be that Autobianchi A112 Abarth. The thing has practically NO hp and even tuned, i only got it to a whopping 100 something mph. :yuck: :sick: :dopey: I mean, COME ON! No wonder it wasn't a big hit.👎
 
Actually, without any power upgrades it can quite easily go 112 MPH (notice a pattern with the name?) in B-Spec. And it can whup on every single Kei car in the game all day long.

Actually, the 69' GT40 stank much worse. I still like it, but the acc. was crap and it drove like one, too.:scared: The 05' one was much better.💡

The Chaparral 2J is almost impossible to control on certain courses. Uneven surfaces will just murder the handling. I'm still working on one to find a perfect setup, but I don't think it's likely. I'd swear it bottoms out down near the back of the straight on Sarthe circuit. Even with high clearance and high spring rate it feels like it's bottoming out. It's an evil beast. However on tracks such as Tsukuba, Suzuka or Fuji it is nearly as smooth as can be. Flat is good. Bumpy is bad, bad, bad.

May be, but it kicked a** in the compact cup.👍 I'd give it a 30/100. Only because of that.

How can you say that?🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
It's such a cool car, it's the previous version of the micra/march! And, fully tuned it beats the crap out of Lancers, Skylines, Impreza's and so on.
 
cars like the auto union, nike,jay leno,toyota motor trithlon race car.you can only drive them in arcade:grumpy: they are useless:grumpy:
