I just discovered the great little Autobacs ARTA Garaiya ´08 (Premium) and I must say it is an awesome drive! Just goes exactly where you want it, absolutely balanced.

I've kept it stock on Racing Hards, just maxing out aerodynamics and it outcorners Super GT cars easily. It's like a small Zonda R. It's also a great looking car in my opinion, especially since it's so small. Got a great cockpit view as well.

Some stats:
346 BHP (with oil change)
1175 kg
I just managed a 6:59 around the ring

I'm feeling reluctant to upgrade it since it is stunning right now, so I'll probably buy another one to max out and see what's what.

So if you haven't tried this little secret go and check it out!

Just great! Just when I was saving up for the R10, now I have to spend to get this lil ride! Thx for the post, I've seen this one before just haven't pulled the trigger...I'll make sure to get a 6:58 on the ring! ;-) Peace.
 
Now I wish I hadn't sold it (Even though it was just removed) now that you reminded me of it's cornering capabilities. By the way it is a Super GT car, just a lower class.
 
I love this car too! I have mine fully upgraded and tuned*. It easily handles the gt500 cars in the JGTC. Like you said, it just goes exactly where you want it to.


*Used a tune from gt5-tuning.com. I'd list the tuner but I'm scared to go to that website because I've heard it's potentially dangerous.
 
The road going version from the UCD isn't bad either. Shame they never put it in production.

With stage 3 engine and turbo the GT300 should match the power of the GT500 cars more or less.
 
Equally fun is the '03 ARTA Garaiya found in the UCD - it weighs in slightly less at 1125kg too with 318bhp before an oil change. 👍
 
mine is at 508 hp....and the power only improves it...my first 'giant killer' car in the game
at first the color made me say nope..but when a race required a car which it qualified, I bought it and was SO happy :)
 
Don't be afraid to upgrade a car with bolt on parts only.
Worst mistake you can make with some cars that drive fantastically in the first place is to do weight reduction and engine tuning. Sure, they can turn into monsters but they won't be the same. Some cars need the option to return back to stock 👍
 
@ Cloudstone, I am on your recommendation going to buy this car right now, might be a day or so before I can test it out, just got the Wedsport IS350.
