At the moment.........
Mazda RX-7 LM! It just so smooth to drive, in my opinion!
And its pretty fast too... so thats my fav at this time!
Ohh... and of course the Loctite Skyline which is
so brilliant and so beautifull.:thumbsup:
 
... and I can hardly wait to get my 787B ...

... OH YEA BABY! 75% Complete! IT'S ON NOW!! What a sweet ride. I've got to go back and win a few races in Professional now, to get caught up.

Humble thy self in awe of the mighty rotor power!

I would have to say my favorite car is my Calsonic Skyline, that thing still kicks ass even though I took it in a few series and the engine has been damaged and it only produces 903 HP :\

Next on my list would probably have to be my Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec II. That was my third car [Trueno, Mustang, then it], and that thing had so much power I just loved winning a ton of races with it.

I've been a Skyline nut ever since I started reading about them a year ago and really wish I could get one here in the states. Isn't Infinity bringing one over? Q34 or something like that?
 
As I've gone through the game, I've picked up favorites along the way. My first big favorite was the top notch consumer Skyline (GT-R R34 V-Spec II ??). But I had skipped the Stars and Stripes series so I had to go back and pick that one up. I ran it with the Mustang SVT Cobra, fully loaded. On the favorites list on the 'fun to drive in GT3', the Mustang is soo much fun. That's one major power house under the hood for a consumer N/A engine. I don't really like the way the Mustangs look, but the SVT Cobra is pretty slick.

Time rolled by and I got the Audi TT 1.8 Quattro. That's another good looking car, and it was pretty high on the 'Fun to drive for GT3' scale. I also got the Calsonic Skyline (like everyone else ...) and was amazed by how well it stuck to the road.

Win a lot of races ... gather up a bunch of cars ... well now, what's this? Yessir, the Toyota GT-One Road Car. It's in the next class up from the Calsonic Skyline, and it shows. It's practially a rocket on wheels, and the wheels don't let go of the asphalt. I had the Race Car version, but didn't realize there was a difference, and sold it. DOH!

Now I've got one of the cars I've been waiting on since the day I realized it was in the game. The Mazda 787B. The Mazda RX-7 was deamed "The Pocket Rocket" back in the day. I think the 787B can carry that same nickname. Some people thought it needed another gear, and I did too ... before I drove it. Another gear would be nice, but I don't think it needs it.

Now I'm wanting the R390 LM Race Car (Calsonic R390). Somehow I missed it coming up through the races. I'd also like an RX-7 LM Race Car ... one of each color (: I need to go back and get the GT-One Race Car as well.

When I get to the F-1s, I'll be sure to have garadge spots free. I hear they're spectacular. I don't know how much I'm going to drive them though, I really enjoy close races in evenly matched cars, and I hear that's not the way with F-1s (:

It might have to be my awesome Polyphony 001. It may make races non- competitive, but it has sooooo much acceleration and sooooo much grip that cornering is great fun and you can just whip around tracks faster than anything else. F1 cars aside though....its still hard to narrow it down. The shortlist would be:

GT1 Race car. Massive acceleration, awesome grip, sounds great and looks the NUTS!
Dodge Viper. Always loved these and it's just so much fun to hammer round 'Seca with the back end stepping out all the time.

But the winner.....the winner is the truly special Mazda 787B. Maybe its becasue it sounds so good, maybe its because I had to win the special licences to win it, maybe its because I loved it when I got one for reaching 75%, maybe because it moves like hot s*** off a shovel, or maybe because it is perhaps the only car in the game that looks better than the GT1 Race Car, but I think its wicked and I just want one in real life. To truly understand it you would have to read "The book of 787" I posted a week or so ago (I think its quite funny myself). Loud Music is right - humble thyself for you are not worthy.

I really like the ZZII how do you pronounce that anyways?

I am thinking it is pronounced ZZ 2, II is Roman Numeral for 2 so I think ZZ 2 is the pronouncation.
 
The one thing I hate about the Altezza LM is that with all its 630+hp when you win it, it has horrible top speed! When you mod it up to 1000+hp it has mad speed!

If we were to meet on the street one day, I think we would get along quite well, my friend.

And yes, the Calsonic R390 is a dream car. I prefer to drive the Calsonic Skyline and the GT-One Road Car, but the R390 is extreamly fast. I was amazed.

I was amazed at how well the R390 handled! One of the best handling cars in the game.

mine may not also be the best but i love it. the spoon sports civic type r. I'm an import type of car fanatic but this one is the most unique out of all. it just looks, sounds, runs, and performs great.

Absolutely...I haven't gotten the car in GT3 yet, just GT2...what race do tou have to win to get it? It owns, too. I'm amazed at how smooth and torquey that little motor is...if that's an accurate representation of Spoon, they are to be ph33r3d for their tuning prowess. It's as close as you can get to having a 1,000,000 rpm car, too. :D
 
My '98 JDM Integra Type R....turbocharged, fully pimped. The supercar slayer. :fdevil:

Also my WRX...devilishly fast on tarmac and dirt.

The Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car....can you say torque from idle to redline? Katana's edge handling, too...

The Corvette C5R...American Iron at its finest.

I do miss my second-gen Supra Turbo from the first two GTs :cry: ...hopefully it will find its way back. :)
 
but early on like when i first did amateur league, i got a camaro race car outta stars and stripes i think it was or maybe it was a different series, but the default settings on it made turning it like turning a 747, til i tweaked it a lil, and it's still one of my favorite cars. it won't win some prof league races, but will hold its own on a few of the enduros and i cleaned house in amateur league with it when i could enter the race anyhow

i have a couple f1 cars and gt1 road car and vette c5r, but there's something about that camaro i really just DIG. the yellow lights, the way it just hugs the ground, the black on the white, it's fairly light, compared to say, your stock camaro =p heheheh

the other car i really like but am having trouble with is the ruf rgt, got it to 1k hp or so and i can't for the life of me make it stick to the ground, it just slides, EVERYWHERE, but fun none the less =)
 
Well, I have several cars I like:

Favourite Road Car: Subaru Impreza 22B
Favourite Rally Car: Draw between Subaru Impreza Rally Car and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally Car
Favourite LM Prototype: Mazda 787B
Favourite F1 Car: Polyphony 002
 
Having collected around 100 cars in my garage so far, I have several favourites.

Starting car: Toyota Yaris 1.5 RS
Rally car: Lancer Evo VI Rally Car
Road car: Viper GTS
Non-Tuned Endurance car: RUF CTR-2
Race car: Mazdz 787B
F1: Polyphony001
Style: Zonda S or Jaguar XJ220

There are also cars that I don't like, mainly because they don't handle well.


Sprinter Trueno GT Apex. GT40
 
The F094/S is INCREDIBLE. Man what a fine automobile. I actually haven't put any saved miles on it yet (or any of my F1s ...) but I've run it about 1000 miles so far. What a thrill! It's hard going from the Miata enduro to an F1, too. It's kinda trippy (:

I'm not entirely positive but I think the polyphony001 is the same as the F094/S.
That means we PAL users get the lazy mans shortcut (super speedway enduro) to what sounds like the best F1 car in the game.

My favourites would be:
Mazda 787B
Mazda RX-7 LM edition
Polyphony 001 (F094/S) I think
Corvette c5r
 
Well for demolishing the opposition, the Polyphony001 is pretty cool! Just for a laugh, I did three laps of Tokyo II, then spun it round, drove the wrong way up the track until I was sixth, then a bit further, and then spun it round and still won the race! Cool car.

I like my Evo VII, which I bought stock and then modded. Got me through the Rally series.

The Corvette C5r is excellent, love it's enduro abilities.

The Elise (which I bought for the MR races) is tops, but is a bit underpowered now I think. And I got a long way with the Impreza Wagon I won in the Japanese series, so that's nice too!

Will have to try some other cars soon, have lots, have driven few :cool:
 
I like my 787B that I wn like a month ago. I would say it is my favorite now. Although I am attached to my F1's I like my 787B better. :)
