Everyone has one, a car that you've just flogged and abused and comes back for more.

Mine is a Jag E-Type with 218,000 miles on it (bought it that way and won a trophy for it!), I used it for a bunch of classics races, and then I had my B-Spec Bob use (and crash) the heck out of it as well. I did change the oil but I refuse to refresh the chassis or engine. Its my beater hoopty, and it still wins races even in such beaten condition.

It has been good to me though, maybe I will refresh it some day. How about you?
 
The FGT no doubt. It had 16,000 miles last I looked most of which has been put on it since I purchased it. Since then it has ran the 9 hour Tsukuba race and the dream car championship twice.
So far no rebuild nor refresh and it has bottomed out at 885hp and staying there. Still Bob was up by 127 laps with 30 minutes to go at Tsukuba.
 
^Same. I found my FGT in about 20 minutes worth of searching (None of this 2 days BS other people are having), and it's been tearing through endurance races day and night.
 
how did you find it so fast??? im on days 3 or 4 lol i do 5 laps of indy then check again how often should i check every 5 races?
 
I've got a Toyota 2000GT I think, that's done over 300,000 miles, but I bought that from the used garage and I haven't really used it. Apart from that I've got my 458 Italia, it's only covered around 500 miles which is nothing compared to others in this thread, but it's mainly my B-Spec car. Miles are constantly going up, I don't plan on washing it either.
 
F150 truck, bought it won the sport truck event and left it to rot in my garage, didn't even change the oil on it.

My 106 Rallye is in bad shape, but it still drives okay.
 
My Ford GT LM Spec II is my grind car. i got it new and it has done nearly 1000 miles since. However it has been a hard 1000miles, around an oval... sound easy? Fact is i get bored quick and my poor GT ends up being used as a battering ram to combat said bordom and my fellow Racers. Funny thing is, it's lap times get quicker the more i run it in (to other cars) :):):):)... BTW i also refuse to rebuild & refresh my GT... i l know it would be quicker and everything but no... just no!!!
 
I abused my Veyron so much that it had permanent scratches all over it.

Washing the car got rid of them. But I still found it funny.
 
Tie between my Gallardo and Furai. The Furai is a killer, and wasn't destroyed as much, but driven a lot longer, but I have trashed the Gallardo at times.
 
My Formula has a lot of miles only because I bought it used, obviously. But my McLaren MP4 I bought premium and it has the most miles on it after the FGT.
 
My 74 Countach. Got it early from the used car lot for about 200,000 and never looked back. Modded it a bit a change the oil, but thats it. Even my BOB loves the thing.
Must've trebled the milage...
 
Has to be either my McLaren F1 Stealth or Murcielago SV. Well Im not the best of drivers and I usually underestimate corners and take them too fast, therefore resulting in me crashing the front end of the car. I crashed a ton in the Murcielago, then I noticed my tires would wear unevenly and the engine felt lacking, so I moved to the McLaren. It cost upwards of $200k to repair for the Murcielago, but only 500 credits for the F1 so I just beat the crap out of it.
 
Mines the Zonda R. It has just kicked so much ass for me. There was no reason to use anything else. Unless the race asked for it. But yeah, used the Zonda in most all my Endurance races in B Spec. Now that I have the Red Bull X1. It's taking over the ass kicking. I'll have to look at the miles on the Zonda to be sure. But it's needed a 500k motor rebuild now for the past week. :indiff:
 
The Minolta... what a horse.

Oh and the Z06 RM. It's pretty much become a dedicated Indy grind car now. :)

*****

How sad is that... we've delegated a car like the mighty Z06 LM race car to doing grind laps at Indy for pennies. :guilty: :(
 
My Corvette ZO6 RM. It's got 2,300 miles put on it by myself, and it's had it's share of trading paint with Minoltas and Sauber C9s. I've even gone offroading with it. I even let my B-Spec Bob drive the thing and watch him slide around corners and eventually into the wall. I have done oil changes and car washes, but the engine and chassis have NEVER been refreshed. But hey, I love my baby. :)
 
I have put 13,000 and counting on the FGT so far + what it already had on it over 17,000 at present. Still no rebuild or refresh and still going strong :)
 
Probably my Sprinter Trueno Shuichi Shigeno Version. I haven't modified it or anything and probably won't to keep it as close to street spec as possible. It's pretty fast and it's a stable drift car anyway. Not sure of it's mileage yet.
 
My Minolta :guilty:

B-Spec Bobs love it though :)

Its won 100 Races out of 100 Entered and Currently running in first in its 8th consectituve INDY 500 in B-Spec :crazy:
 
Yellow Bird and Minolta for me so far.

Bob and the boys have driven the wheels off the Furai and are working on thoroughly trashing the Minolta.
