Best Premium;
1. Lotus Elise 111R '04 - race modified or not this is one very quick car around a tighter circuit, perhaps one of the best in the right hands and I love it, my #1 favourite car in GT5. Not as good on open tracks, although still reasonably competitive. I'd list the '96 Elise as second, as it is slower, but then I'm wasting a slot
.
2. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren '09 - looks stunning, a very quick motor in a straight line, and pretty decent handelling to get it going quick in the corners. Nice to get sideways too, and it's possibly my favourite sounding car with the stock exhaust.
3. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - Beautifully quick, great round corners and a bargain motor. Whether you race modify it or not, it's a great car. It was a toss up between this and the Viper ACR and the Camaro (latest model), but I think the Corvette has the edge.
Best Standard;
1. Bentley Speed 9 Race Car '08 - I wasn't going to include race cars here, but then Bentley is an amazing car, it's very fast and looks really nice, and it's a Bentley. I suppose this is going to be the quickest car here in my favourites/best cars.
2. Mercedes SL 65 AMG (R230) '04 - An astonishingly quick car, 1000bhp is a nice figure to have in a Merc. Great round the corners, whether composed or sideways.
3. Suzuki GSX-R/4 Concept '01 - a right little rocket, it's very quick and can keep up with things with 3x the power and is really good around the corners, when tuned. The best time I had with this was in a 100bhp room, this thing slaughtered the competition.
Worst Premium;
1. Red Bull X2010 S.Vettel (and varients) - Sorry, but a car that doesn't exist shouldn't be in the game. And before people say it does, the mock-up that was made had no internals.
2. Ferrari Enzo Ferrari '02 - Did someone ask specifically for a car that lacks turning ability with this car? I've spent countless hours trying to get this to turn, with some success, but come on, yeah it's fast, but it can be really outmanouvered in the corners. It's not a terrible car, but to me, it's one to steer clear from.
3. Not really got a third, generally Premiums are good, although it's a bit annoying to see tons of similar cars, like MX-5's.
Worst Standards;
1. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 '09 - It's such an annoyance, and it's not because it's a bad car, it's because of bad drivers. You see so many people driving them in races, who just ram you off because they can't drive it, or set it up, which unfortunately kills this car for me.
2. Jay Leno Tank Car '03 - The same as the Veyron, only it's a bad car as well.
3. Haven't really got a third again, ah well
.
I know my favourites may not be the fastest, but they're my favourites. There are so many more that could have made it, especially in standards, like the Shelby Series One Supercharged and the Speed 12, but I'd best adhere to the rules
