What is your ultimate driving machine?

[vat_man]

Ultimate Speed:
Nissan R390 race car (esp in full turbo tune)
Polyphony 001
FTO LM (in full turbo tune)
Mazda 767B

Other Race Cars:
Arta NSX (full NA tune)
Mercedes DTM
Tickford Falcon
Citroen Xantia Rally Car
Renault Clio race car

Others:
Nissan R390 road car in standard trim
IS200 when NA tuned
Honda NSX
Aston Martin Vanquish
Nissan Skyline R-34 GT-R
ZZII
Gillet Vertigo
All of the RUFs
Subaru Legacy B4 (yes, because I drive one - well, an RX Liberty, anyway)

I've probably missed some. I prefer the NA cars, much more responsive to drive.

"Front engine, Front drive"

The front drive races are a blast in the vitz....

a car most people ignore but its a DAMNED good car is the VW beetle RSI. full-tune it and make slite adjustments on the suspension, and the thing just rocks. for a car with that power, its amazingly fast and sooo responsive. I'm not getting into the obvious answers (ZZII, Skylines, race cars, et al) but for undestated cars. the spoons sports civic has to be one of the best cars in GT3, but I doubt it'll be understimated. and, em , well... the suzuki Escudo. Sorry, I just tamed the thing, and it's an orgasm. had to mention it.

as for the worse cars, the tom's chaser (1000 hp, feels like 300, at least in here), the acura RSX, and, in my game, the castrol toms supra. it's just undriveable. alzo the supra Z is undrivable, when fullly tuned of course.

 

[Small_Fryz]

I really like the 787b and i would love to win the r390 gt1 and the toyota gt1 cars i also like the fto lm and the subaru wrx prototype (so good for the rally races) and of course the trusty red 1990 mx-5

 

[DMX]

mazda 787B, not as fast as my escudo(i don't use the wheelie to determine top speed) but my 787B goes a solid 256.0 as my escudo goes 301.5. i like the 787B because it looks cooler, it has better control, and its a nice race car.

 

[miata13B]

Vertigo. By far the best Gt class race car

I concure. I just wish it had 6 or (gasp) 7 gears instead of 5. That sucks!

 

[ving]

yeah well.... what can u do? :/

 

[DensOSARDsupra]

a Denso Sard Supra with stage 2 turbo kit and T2 racing slicks ohhhya cuz u can chuck the car into a corner without hitting a wall

 

[SandStorm]

The most ultimate driving machine I have come across yet is the Mazda 787B. Road Car: I'd have to say the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.

 

[Quattro]

The TVR Griffith 500
Just look at it, then listen to it, en then drive it !
Heaven !! -> pure refinement

 

[SandStorm]

Actually, Quattro, the Mazda Miata doesn't sound half bad either. I gave it full power mods and T2 tyres and it sounded like one of those GT1 cars we all got to know and love! 👍

 

[AE86 12acer]

my favorite car is the Trueno AE86 S.S. version ( the one with the carbon fiber hood) I know lots of people look down on this car, but to me, its the best. Its like an all around car; good handling, accel., and speed for a low hp car. I've managed to beat people who used mr2's, celica, and someother cars. I really think everyone should give it a try because its a really fun car, especially in Trial Mountain.

 

[CarAlot]

hmm...I can't really pick a favourite car out of my garage...
but I would have to say that my favourite is the Nissan R390 GT1 LM Race Car and the Nissan Skyline VSpec II(R34, J)...I find that these 2 cars are good in overall performance...

 

[danibus]

Hmmm...the R390 GT1 road car is also a good one. Just tune the suspension and you're rockin!!!!

 

[javdalen]

I don't have many fast cars yet, but my favorit till now is the Camaro Race Car!!!

[IceGT]

My favorite car to drive is the Camaro SS, I just like the way it handles, and I love the way it looks.

 

[Werner Winkels]

The moost Fun , I have with the Tickford Falcon & Ruf RGT
( ASM & TCS off )

But the fastest Times, I'm made with the Denso Supra and the R390 Race Car.

 

[Acidman]

i agree with speed master. My favorite "driving around for fun car" would definatley be the viper gtsr concept, that car kicks ass! My favorite racing car would have to be the toyota gt-one race car.

 

[SandStorm]

Ultimate Driving Machine? Hmmmmm. I've got two:

-- The C-West Razo Silvia JGTC, and;
-- The SuperAutobacs MR-S JGTC.

 

[LVT Racing]

for me it's my Impreza LM and my F1..i think it's the F688 model...

 

[SandStorm]

Yeah, the 'Preza isn't a bad bit o' arse either. 👍

I'm also rather fond of my S2000 LM car. It sounds beaut and goes smoothly too.

 

[Sheron]

Skylines are my favourites. R32, R33, R34...R35??

[SandStorm]

Now what ever made you complete 100 laps of the String, Mustang-Man?

 

[SkylineObsession]

I think a mixture of slight boredom and the urge for a new challenge unlike anything anyone has done before. (i could have been the very first person in the world to complete 100 laps of Complex String in just one sitting (with a hour break for lunch)).

And i made it a 600hp limit for all those who wanted to do it too (only other people who did it were a few Aussies!) to make it more of a challenge.

To tell you the truth, i actually quite enjoyed it, and managed to get a fast lap time (4:19.xxx) in a slightly modified 595hp Nissan 300zx which was, and still is, very tail happy. (with no TCS or ASM).
Out of all the people who did it, i had the slowest time. (close to eight hours i think)

 

[diablo-wp]

if you talking about suprisingly nice sounding cars, a modded BEETLE RSI sounds GRRRREAT
