What is the worst car you brought?

[kieran177]

What car did you buy, thought it was good, then found out otherwise?

 

[C-ZETA]

I wouldn't say it was 'bad', more merely a disappointment, but the Schulze Motorsports 24H GT-R just didn't do well for me. I tried it stock, with the Sports Soft tyres, and just understeered too much for me. Also I tried the Chaparral 2J (didn't buy it, borrowed it if that counts as on-topic) and couldn't get that to drive well either...

 

[ParkourVeyron]

Don't we already have a thread on this?

 

[Eezee]

I expected the Elise to be more phenomenal, it just really isn't.

 

[kieran177]

Don't know.

Right here. Pretty much the same thing. Sort of.

Well you can buy slow cars for lots of credits, look at ferrari sp1, more expensive yet worse than the enzo, wich is cheaper.

You would be surprised just how good the SP1 can look and drive with a teeny tiny bit of effort...

 

[kieran177]

Oh well. Just saying that expensive cars don't always means good driving.

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

SP1.. I must agree with that.. only expensive due it its rareness (Custom made) and not that great at all

 

[obsessive rules]

worst car? The gtr, in spec.v form it is understeery and i kept hitting the wall at the tgtt. It was quick but once i got to 1.13.228 i either went off or crashed, i got an in red 1.12.957 but thats in red. That was fully set up by freinds at MMTUNIT who managed to set a zonda r round tgtt in 58.564.

This I'm highly curious about. Why is it the worst you've bought?

 

[HuskyGT]

In terms of looks, I would say the BMW M5, Nissan Silvia S13, RX7 FC and some others. Not that they are ugly, but is that they have flaws in their in-game design.

As for handling, I would say the Alfa Romeo Brera. That car is probably the most beautiful in the game, yet so horrible to drive. It's massive weight, AWD system and old engine make it the most boring sports car in GT5. Even tuning it to a healthy 300HP, modifying it's center differential to have 90% of torque at the back wheels, adding sports suspension, dropping two stages of weight, and putting soft sports on it, still feels like a 200HP car that simply doesn't turn...

 

[xEnZo]

Mine's Lancer...

Surprising. That car, for me, is almost *too good*. Too good bone stock right from the dealership. Amazing car I think. Different strokes for different folks, right?

The premium Ford Mustang has to be the absolute WORST car that I've purchased. What a pile of crap!

 

[HuskyGT]

The premium Ford Mustang has to be the absolute WORST car in the game as far as I'm concerned. What a pile of crap!

I drive it because I love Mustangs. But you are right. They could've chosen a newer model. Even with upgrades, the car isn't that fast, and it doesn't seem to like turns.

 

[TakumiFuji01]

A bad car? Hmmmm......I sometimes think it's the Amuse S2300 GT1 Turbo(The car's name is S2000 GT1 Turbo in game but in the description thing, it was said the engine was bored up from 2.0 to 2.3L with Amuse Bore Kit) I respect Hideki Tanabe-san(Owner of Amuse who passed away in Sept 2008) and the car was originally going to be N/A but PD decided to add Turbo. I don't know why though and plus the car didn't weigh 1120 KG, it actually weigh 1230KG. I had to make a 50:50 Setup with 1230KG with less oversteering.
PD should of not add Turbo on the S2300 GT1 so it could of focus on more of it's original Total Balance instead of the 628 horse power

Chrysler 300C. What a pile of turds. Sure, it can beat Civics out the tunnel on SSR7, but as soon as the road turns more than one degree, it understeers into a wall, or, if it feels like it, oversteers. This car lives its own life on the track. I challenge anyone to take it out on a twisty, Tuscan track, with elevation change and a bit of corner camber, and try to drive the course quickly without planting the car firmly in a guardrail. Fortunately it has super shiny bling-bling chrome wheels to make up for its lackluster handling, and a burgundy paintjob only Floridan retirees would chosen for their 1993 Lexus ES. The engine sound is remarkably weird, but that V8 sure does pull, also in the corners when you least want it. Trying to get around a track in a civilized manner is not an option when you find yourself in a 300.

 

[THEPUNISHER]

well , because its suppose to handle the corner better than the original gtr
its worse .

 

[Downhill Dino]

For me it was significantly better. Were you using any driving aids? Such as TCS?

i never use it , anyway i got disappointed with it i thought it would very stable and handles perfect in corners .

^Funny. This is why I love the Chrysler 300C. You have to give it the time to make it handle well for you (except on corners with any sort of camber, they are simply impossible. ) I found that my fully-tuned 300C wants to pull you through corners very well, until oversteer immediately kicks you to the curb oh so close to the end. I thought that the rear-end carried too much momentum, so I shifted about 50 kg to the front to balance the car when it's at higher speeds and it now handles gorgeously around tracks like the Nurburgring. (Everyone hates to lose against it though)

Most cars named in this thread just need extra love (but mostly tuning 👍). For example, shifting weight forward helps oversteery cars like the 300C handle nice (just still not on bankings ).

 

[SkierPS3]

I expected the Yellowbird to be a bit less tail-happy, as in actually usable. When I got a Citroen GT race car from a ticket, I expected it to be good. Not only did it underwhelm me, but I found it is a prize car and is way overpriced in the UCD.

You can shine a piece of crap to look nice, but it's still crap. Unfortunately, most Chryslers are. I'd be willing to run anything at that hp/kg ratio or PP level against it. They make their cars look nice, but once you actually need to run it faster than a turtle, it loses all credibility.

This car has a 5.7L V8. For 10 thousand less, you can buy a 5.7L V8 Camaro (older) and it's 300kg lighter. I don't like the Camaro, but I'd still take that over the 300C, even with less horsepower. I'd even take a '97 Supra RZ, similar HP (smaller engine) over it, and I'd rather stay domestic.

I must agree with you that the fully-tuned 300C's handling is tough to figure out, but you shouldn't talk down the engine. The engine is the only reason I ever gave it a chance. Saying a 5.7L engine is equal to another 5.7L engine is silly, especially when the Chrysler's engine is a hemispherical 5.7L. The acceleration is slightly better through each gear than almost every other car. Then you reach 6th gear, and no other car at its pp level of 597 can keep up.

If you're smart and race it on the right track (such as Le Mans), you can gain a mighty big lead after the four consecutive straightaways. 👍

True, the engine can get going. But, you can take smaller, more efficient engines, and get more out of them. It's too bad that they didn't really get everything they could out of the 300C. I know that engine and internal parts of the car itself have plenty of potential. That's why Chrysler is an epic failure, they mostly go for looks over substance. 400 kg less and small upgrades with tuning... it may be able to compete with the Camaro and Mustang on a daily basis... maybe.

Mines landed is shockingly bad, its so sluggish in a straight line and too much understeer

 

[Dowlin39]

*mines lancer sorry

 

[masterrawad]

FGT. it takes some persuasion to turn and when it does it overdoes it and spins out. plus its HP and handling makes it practically useless for 900PP.
