Top 3 best and worst cars?

[ivoyared]

Best:

1 - Chaparral 2J
2 - Chaparral 2D
3 - Minolta Toyota 88C-V

 

[BlackoutBilly]

Best:

430 Scuderia
Mines BNR34
787b

Worst:

Caterham (had HUGE expectations for this car and it's a let down)
Any of the <100 hp teeny tiny old Japanese cars that really have no place in the game
Tie: Murcielago SV (what happened?) or Veyron (not premium, for real?)

WHERE ARE THESE CARS: Radical SR8? Ariel Atom V8? Gumpert Apollo S? Mosler mt900? You guys at PD really should have taken a leaf out of Forza's book on these ones (other than the Ariel)...some of the most fun cars to drive ever.

 

[NRYAN34]

Top 3 for me are
1. Wedsport Celica-very suprised with how this car handles
2. F2007- the sound this car makes is addicting
3. Always been a fan of the Opel touring cars, or the Rm silvia

Worst 3.

1. Veyron- only has straight line speed
2. Audi le mans quattro you win as a prize-cant tun out the dang understeer on that thing
3. Alfa 8c- maybe I expected to much from this car?

 

[Kleptic]

I've only had my PS3 back for 2 weeks (had the game day 1, just couldn't play it ha), so i'm only a lv. 27 right now...

but so far...

Ferrari 458 Italia. 723bhp ~1200kg and 7 gears is perfect for the medium length tracks (tokyo for example). Definitely far from the fastest cars in the game, but adjusting the 7 forward gears will have it keep up with anything on more technical tracks.

Ruf CTR2 Sport. I wish it was premium (or all Ruf's for that matter) and its more for GT2 nostalgia. But a really balanced car that is still pretty quick.

Toyota 88CV. I only like this car because its the best example of how much tuning helps, at least that i've come across so far in the game. It's default setup is worthless; pushes worse than a stock civic. But adjusting things and playing around with it turn it into an absolute beast. You can easily walk away with any of the tougher races that its allowed in.

honorable mentions: ZR1 RM, Elise 111R, '02 RX-7 R Type S. All where awesome to drive and great for the events they were allowed in. Although LTW @ Indy in the ZR1 proved frustrating the first dozen times.

Worst:

Veyron. As others have mentioned. Its not fun to drive, and isn't given the credit it deserves in the first place. Needs to be premium, no idea how that one was missed. In stock form it can barely manage 120mph through turns at Indy...thats saying something...

standard Mercielago. haven't bought one yet, but agree with others...its a complete sled on special Grand Tour event. I know its really heavy, but they are notorious for ridiculous amounts of grip as far as road cars go. It skates more than any other AWD i've come across in the game so far.

can't think of a third yet. I've bought some dumb cars for no real purpose, like an 02 Mazda Protege (I bought an '02 P5 new way back). You can actually make it pretty decent for FWD races.

 

[LXXII]

My picks

Best:

Ferrari 458 Italia '09 (Just love this car!)
Lexus IS F Racing Concept '08
RUF CTR Yellow Bird '87

Everyday cars in other words

Worse:
X2010 (soo unreal its not even funny, but great to grind B-spec with)
Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 (Dont try to turn in this car!)
Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione '08 (spendt my hard earned money on this one and naah didnt like it)

 

[GT_Die_Hard]

It's just pretty unrealistic, it makes every other car feel slow and is the ultimate noob car online.

Agreed. This car is mostly meant for people who can't drive properly with a normal car that is as fast as those from the opponents online. So, they take the X2010 out and drive everyone out just because it has 1500HP and weighs 560 Kilo's !!

 

[gtraider]

Best
1)Ferrari F12007
2)Ferrari F430 Scudera
3)Mercedes Sauber C9

Worst
!)Saleen S7-Pisses me off because i love this car
2)Bugatti Veyron 👎
3)Jay Leno Tank Car

 

[boredgunner]

Best:

1. Red Bull X2010 (all of them, lets not separate the Prototype and S.Vettel)
2. Ferrari F2007
3. Formula Gran Turismo (until I try the F10)

Worst:

1. Fiat 500 (all of them)
2. Volkswagen Kubelwagen
3. Volkswagen Schwimmwaggen

Those three worst cars hardly move. The Veyron is probably the most disappointing car but not the worst. Aside from high speed courses I do better with the F2007 compared to the FGT. The F2007 is just faster around corners and it's an added bonus that it doesn't try to kill you like the FGT does.

 

[pjs123456789]

So much people hate the x2010, my favorite is the x2010 very fast on the straight and in corners. Its an over kill so I only use it if some else is using one. Second is the f2007 love it, very fast in the corners not close to the x2010 though. Third toyota minolta my favorite group c it one of the faster group c if not the fastest and I love its look.

Worst 1) Trancrammer, 2) tank car and 3) toyota vitz ( its slow and I hate ff cars)

Lots of people hate it since it is unrealistic and that's fine, but I laugh at those who hate it because they can't drive it.

787b

Worst:

I agree that i want these cars, but the same could be said of Forza to x100 higher degree. Almost all my favorite cars in GT4 and GT5 are not in Forza, sadly. It's just a licensing issue. Both of them should have the Ariel instead of stupid cars like the X2010.

I'd actually be happy with it if you could simply specifically outlaw that one car (which I guess you can via PP so never mind).

My favorite cars are the Yellow Bird, the BMW GTR race car, and the Ford GT Race Cars (not the GT 40). Just great cars that shine if you drive well.

My least favorite are the 2J, which is unrealistic if it finishes a race more than 10% of the time, the X2010, which is fun for a 1 make race but otherwise game breaking, and the Veyron, which is a marvel but not worthy of a race track.

 

[boredgunner]

The SuperVeloce is great with a bit of tuning.

 

[hchaugen]

Top :
1. Mazda 787B (The sound is sick, just love it! Handles very nicely, and is also awesome at high speed.
2. Mercedes C63 AMG. OH THE LOOKS!
3. Ford GT mark IV (Again, sound! But also because it made me the motorhead I am today, so much history)
4. Audi RS6 (What a feeling passing people with a SW)

Worst:
1. Bugatti Veyron (Never been a fan of this car, and if I wanted to drive a Submarine while being drunk it would possibly be somewhat similar driving this piece of junk)
2. Any Nascar (I love racing, but I just don't see the fun of it)
3. Any Nascar (I hate rednecks )
4. Lotus Elise stock tuning

 

[MM1000]

Nascar would be awesome if they actually raced stock cars, from the dealership, with minimal modifications. I have no problem with oval racing either, though Nascar makes it artificial with various rules about qualification and last second fake and overdone caution periods. Nascar is just plain fake altogether.

I also think it's clear this would impact the design of some of these cars, making them better performers. Nascar's antiquated technology and artificiality has resulted in very little reason to design cars I can buy that perform better on the track. As a result, if I want a sedan that performs, I surely don't buy American.

 

[invisibleorange]

my favorites:
1. NSX-r prototype lm road car
2. 430 scuderia
3. m3 gtr race car

not so much:

1. x2010
2.enzo
3. iroc-z concept

 

[bullivapor]

Best imo
1. SLR (How fun and easy can it be to drive on the limit)
2. Viper GTS-R Team Oreca (Strong brakes, tons of grip and the engine sound tells you how much you can step on the gas)
3. S2000 GT1 Turbo (Overall amazing and sporty handling)

Worst/most disappointing imo
1. Saleen S7 (even hard to keep it on the track @ highspeed ring)
2. Shelby Cobra 427 (powerfull engine in a chassis made by Billy-Bob, wannabe drag king, high crash potential)
3. Tank Car (Where is the cannon? Whats the point of building a car that cannot drive?)

 

[SlyckTires]

2. Mercedes C63 AMG. OH THE LOOKS!

Looks even better when you drop the suspension, stick on the extra sills and bang on the full titanium drainpipes at the back. Going to be online in it tonight no doubt.

My second fave tune up after the sambabus!

 

[claythrow]

Best:
Amuse S2000 Gt1 Turbo
Vette ZR1 RM
Lamborghini Miura

Worst:
Ford GT Spec II Test Car
Chromeline Murcielago (I don't know of the other one is a any different)
I don't know if I would say the Veyron is the worst, but it's definately not as impressive as I bet it would be in real life.

 

[Smart_Roadster]

It's ridiculous and not a real car, driven by utter noobs that ruin online races by smashing into everyone and are so fast that they are guaranteed to win any race no matter how badly driven they are, hell I was driving a 900 horse power ZR1 RM and got passed by one driving in reverse! Then smashed into a wall and took out half the players I was racing, it has no place in gt5.

I agree. One guy lapped me twice on Daytona oval (I was in a Murciélago SV)

 

[zedextreme8177]

Best:
Acura NSX RM, best handling IMO
Pug 908, incredibly fast if you know how to handle it
TVR Tuscan RM, understeery but very stable

Worst:
Lamborghini Murci LP640, PD it's a 4WD
Lamborghini Gallardo tuned, almost undriveable
Veyron, very quick but it's like a version of the Tank Car

 

[Smart_Roadster]

I absolutely love he Mugen, the first car i properly connected with :-)

Yeah, try it in the Japanese 80's challenge!

 

[Jack_B97]

(1st post on GT Planet!)

Top 3
-NSX-R LM Roadcar (fun to drive and looks great)
-IS F RM (i got today and I LOVE IT, 8 gears fast acceleration)
-ZZII (60k supercar monster)

Bottom 3
-X2010 (fake noobmobile)
-the 100 versions of nissan, honda, mazda etc. from 60-80 that could be replaced by cars like; bentley continental gt, ascari a10, porsches not ruf,
-scwimwagen & kublewagon ...(why?)

 

[oneupcanuck]

Worst: Jay Leno tank car
Best: Lexus IS F Race version (best overall package of performance and handling)

 

[ZR1fan]

Sounds really bad O.O
Haven't been online yet but i'll have to look out for and avoid those noobs.

Trust me.. the cars so fast the only way youll have a clue its coming is if u look on the mini map and see a blue dot moving warp speed... i admittedly have one... but i RARELY use it.. only on online free runs to beat said noobs laptimes if someone else pulls an X1 first.. then once i beat it the car goes away

 

[Shadyfruit]

Best:

Nissan GT-R SpecV '09 -Awesome handling!
Lexus LF-A '10 - Awesome sound!
Dodge Viper SRT10 '06 - Awesome car!

Worst:

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 '09 - crappy handling, even on racing soft tires
Jay Leno Tank car - can't sell it
Veyron - it's not even premium

 

[Chqr]

Best:
Pagani Zonda LM Race Car - quite rare but a beast. For 1 mil in the UCD, its a must have.
430 Scuderia - Optimises the road cars on the game.
Nascars - fabulous addition, lets not forget that.

Worst:
Ford GT '05 - Just trash really. Can't handle, doesn't look great and is just a mock of all muscle cars.
Nissan GT-R '07 - For causing that stupid glitch simply.
Dodge SRT ACR '10 - Similar to the Ford GT, another rubbish 21st Century American car.

 

[Chqr]

Best:
Acura NSX RM, best handling IMO
Pug 908, incredibly fast if you know how to handle it
TVR Tuscan RM, understeery but very stable

Worst:
Lamborghini Murci LP640, PD it's a 4WD
Lamborghini Gallardo tuned, almost undriveable
Veyron, very quick but it's like a version of the Tank Car

Tempted to get the NSX now and fork out 300k.

 

[ugabugaz]

Best:
1) AMG Mercedes Benz 190E Evolution II Touring Car '92 (S) - My any car in it's PP Class destroyer
2) Chevy Vette ZR1 RM (P) - Very flexible all around car, simply brilliant
3) BMW M3 (P) - Pure driving bliss, I love it
4) RUF Yellowbird - Just about one of the most fun cars to drive, right up there with the Lancia STRATOS Rally Car

I know I put 4, but I simply can't leave out any of the 4.

Worst:
1) Lexus IS-F Racing Concept - Useless car
2) Option Z Stream or something like that - Useless
3) Can't think of anything right now

I can't really name my top 3 worst, since I only own about 190 cars.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Best...
1. LFA (love the sound) (I have 6 LFAs and getting more)
2. Ford GT (do I really have to explain this one?)
3. Saleen S7 (see reasoning for #2)

Worst...
1. X1 (99% are dupes, too overused, and see reasoning for Saleen S7)
2. Toyota Prius (only PD would put in a Prius before half way done car sounds) (not even half way, more like 1/8 ) (less than 1 / 8 ) (1/500)
3. The majority of the other cars (90% of the unnecessary rice)

These aren't in order.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

I actually enjoy the X2010. I power limit it to 50% so it rests at 700 and change HP. It is then slower than formula and most of the top end (GT-One/Audi R8/Judd etc) cars, but the handling is slightly better that formula at moderate speeds

Now, to the question, I have two lists. The best 3/worst 3 ease of use and the best 3/worst 3 according to my own performance.They are completely different.

Best 3 ease of use
1. Impreza Rally Car '03
2. Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce '09
Some folks in the Mon. Night endurance ran these around Rome and got 20+ laps before pitting on Racing Hard tires. By comparison, the Gallardo LP 560-4 '08 I was in made in 16/17 and its a great car.
3. Amuse S2000 GTi
Perfect at any PP
Worst 3 ease of use
1. Tesla Roadster
Car is decievably heavy and shifting weight in the corners is nie impossible
2. Jay Leno Tank Car
In real life tanks corner or treads...consider this a warning
3. HPA Motorsports Stage II R32

3 cars I drive the best with vs standard deviation
1. AMG Mercedes Benz 190E Evolution II Touring Car '92
It was mentioned before and I'll second or third. This cars initial PP seems impossibly low. If you can shift its boxy frame...you're set for PP destruction
2. Suzuki Cappuccino RM (137HP)
With Practice an <175 HP killer
3. Ford Escort Rally Car '98
Have you driven a Ford...lately?

3 cars I drive worse vs standard deviation
1. Shelby Cobra 427
2. RUF CTR "Yellow Bird" '87
Surely I'm missing something
3. All TVRs​
