The Tommy Kaira ZZII, Lancia Stratos, Ruf RGT, Lamborghini Diablo GT, and the Zonda's.....


;)
 
I have been driving tons of cars stock lately, and basically once you get the hang of each one's traits, almost all of them can be a real blast. I drove the Mitsu GTO bone stock the other day and was having a blast with it at Laguna Seca. Some other oddball cars I had fun with recently are the Nissan Fairlady 2+2, Toyota GT-Four, Mistsu Lancer Evo VII, Opel Speedster. Don't get me wrong, a 800 HP Viper Oreca is fun too, but wringing every ounce of speed out of a street car is a bit of fun too.👍
 
Yea, I've been screaming around in some stock cars as well. But I still like a stock Griffith 500 out of all of them. Its got the sound, performance, and the looks.
 
Stock:
RGT
Speed 6 & Speed 12
R34 Spec II
Viper Concept GTR
RX-7
CTR2
WRX STi
ZZII

Tuned POS' that are fun:
Vitz RS
Miata
Sprinter Trueno
 
Der Alta
On normal tires, right? It's a load of fun and somewhat of a challenge. You just have to manage tire wear well, and can have an enjoyable run through the series.

Yup, I'm on normal tires.

It's a little overkill to enter the RGT into this race, but it's such a fun car to drive.
 
For me it'd have to be the rx8, she handles and drives like a dream, I just love to hear it 1.3 liter 2 rotor engine screaming at 9500rpm. It can blow many other sports cars away because of its handling.
 
R390 Roadcar
Mini Cooper
Viper GTSR
ZZII
GT40 Road Car
and the S2000 in purple.

Hmmmm Where to begin? You can change each of the 5 or 6 individual gear sizes in GT3 as well as the final drive, and for newbies they made it really easy and included the Auto-setting feature, if you have full-custom gearbox. It doesn't show you the torque curve like you saw in the original GT though.!
Yes I know and that is exactly what I mean. You can change the individual gears, but if you then change the auto setting it re-sets back to the original gear settings for what ever setting you choose. I don't fancy having to change each gear setting for each level of auto-setting that I might use!:ouch:

Secondly, I played GT2 a lot, it was the PAL version though, but I never came across a San Francisco circuit! Do you mean Seattle?
I now live in SF and a street circuit including the wiggly bit of Lombard street would rock!
Appologies, Seattle is indeed the circuit I meant and I think it was the short version as well. Why I confused the 2 cities I don't know.
 
If you're based in the USA - or anywhere else in North America. Or Japan - you can't.

But don't worry - you've got the F094/S which is identical in all but nosecone to the P001 and the F688/S which is identical to the P002 in all but nosecone. And four other F1 cars beside which we don't get.

My favourite car is the P001

I fear you may have missed the point completely.
 
The most fun in a car I had that was stock was the Honda Integra Type R(I just started a game, so I havent had a chance to play with all the big cars yet!).

That and the Camaro SS . . .

I do believe the P001 is essentially an F/094H and the P002 an F/686M...
 
I like to do runs on a stock yellow S2000. With ASM/TCS off. Its quite fun.

I also use the S2000 the most on Arcade races. With professional AI's its quite hard. Especially if you have that Clio V6. On some track its not that easy to beat the Clio with the S2000. The Integra Type R is also pretty fun for a FWD car.

I like to play with my Tommy Kaira ZZII.

Then you believe wrong. The P001 is the F094/S with a 1995 McLaren-Peugeot nosecone and the P002 is the F688/S with a different nosecone I don't know the origins of.


icemanshooter - I fear you've also missed the point completely. None of the racecars are considered "stock" in this context.

Then I guess they changed the nosecone in the PAL Version.

As they appear in-game and in MK's (and in MK's display name):

F/687S - lotus_99t (F/687S)
F/688S - mclaren_mp4_4 (Polyphony002)
F/090S - mclaren_mp4_5b (F/090S)
F/686M - williams_fw11 (F/686M)
F/094S - williams_fw16a (Polyphony001)
F/094H - williams_fw16b (F/094H)

(also: I thought McLaren built engines for Mercedes... is Peugeot even in F1 anymore?)

OK, so I screwed up the models. Still, what's up with that?
 
i love the castrol mugen nsx and every other jgtc-car.
but my favorite gt-series car is the black kure r33 seen in gt2. i loved that black beast

Other way round dude, Mercedes build the enignes for McLaren at the moment. either that or its at was a mercedes engine at one stage.

They did build a GT40 Road version (obviously) and it should be considered a road car in its own right since it was built for the road. Yeah ok it was done so they could use it in Le-Mans but hey its still a road car

Now to put things back onto topic by choosing a stock 'ROAD CAR' for this i would have to say that the Mustang Cobra-R was mighty fun, that and the GT40 road car, oh and the GT-One from Toyota was cool too.
