I really can't understand what is wrong with the Trueno. I think it looks pretty good for an almost 20 year old car, and the handling is pretty good too. It's a really good car to drift.
I really hate the Audi TT. It drives and looks like crap.
 
You can't really base your opinion on how good/bad a car is based on it's looks imo, because looks are relative to the person looking, soeone somewhere, no matter what the car looks like will like it. They were all designed, and the given the green light (most of them) wern't they.

im still tryin to figure out if a rx7 is smog legal in cali... (warning! california's gas sucks!)
 
I'd have to say pretty much every Skyline blows except for the Mine's GTR.
That one's pretty neutral in terms of handling.
I try not to mess with the specially tuned cars (Mugen, TRD, etc...).

Ugh, and that 2000kg Mercedes landboat.

Porkchop sandwiches?

For some reason, 703hp just doesn't feel very fast in that car. It handles terribly, and accelerates poorly for what it's made of. I don't get it, this car was great in GT1, it had just about perfect handling. In GT2, PD started to lean the table the other way, and the R33 LM handled well into the corners, but quite crappy out of the turns.

I loathed every minute of driving the Ruf 3400R, I tuned it completely the worng way every time. It got worse, and worse, and worse....it pulled so horribly in the wrong direction every time I hit the brakes.

The TT is predictably disappointing, at least I know it's going to understeer. I don't see how everyone's got the Supra so mixed up; maybe with 1000+hp, it's got terrible handling, but I haven't found that to be the case with 300-500hp. And I'm actually surprized how well the 600CL moves for it's size.
 
The Nissan S15 Silvia Varietta has 271hp. AFTER you've tuned it.
 
Oh, you mean "upgrade the hell out of it".

If that's you're guys' definition of "tune", no wonder it's slower.

Slower; a direct translation of poor acceleration and lacking cornering ability.
 
Slower? What the (fudge) are you talking about? No-one's said it's "slower" than anything.

The original reason was:

Tuning in GT3 is generally the addition of parts. Settings is usually what you're referring to as "tuning" - altering the parameters of the parts to allow the car to handle (including accelerate and decelerate) better.
 
No, it's just a crap car to drive, I can set cars up to handle power, I can set them up to do pretty much what I like, but the GT-R LM is a car that for it's power wether it's stock or tuned, underperforms by a large margin.
 
i personally hate the volkswagen beetles...and the lupo's arent so good either....actually, i think all FWD cars are useless.....however the Xsara, Integra Type R, FTO, and the Fiat Turbo Coupe are my only favorable front wheelers
 
There's no worst car in the game for me. (honestly)
And i don't think any of them are ugly either.

Still not bored with the game after nearly three years of playing it...
 
hmmm.... i'm gonna have to disagree with most of you.

to me, the nismo gtr-lm road car is one of my favorite cars in the game. don't know why, but i have 4 of them for some reason and drive all of them equally. each one is tuned different. however, i really really hate the escudo. i mean, other than just winning the super speedway endurance, it is quite useless. however, one of my favorite cars in the game, besides the nismo gtr-lm road car, would have to be the vertigo race car. you can win it so easily, and it goes pretty well. it was my first race car, and my first race car with over 700 miles on it.

i also got my pinnacle pctv today :D :D :D :D :D :D !!!!!!!! so happy.
 
I absolutely hate the Escudo. How can it turn? That car is only good for the rally tracks and the super-boring Test Course.

Second would be the Zonda. I have learned to despise that car. It can drive very fast but it handles like a super-heavy freighter, albeit it is not that bad as the Escudo is.
 
I developed some settings for the Escudo for the track. The full-bore version too - all 1881hp of it.

There's a thread around here called "Can't Drive The Escudo?" with them in. Give 'em a try. Worked for me in the Rome 2hr endurance (yes, really), and I've had a lot of positive feedback on it.

I used to feel the same way. But once you really take your time to tune it, it becomes the fastest fully modded street car in the game, wooping even the RGT.

And as to Escudo - well no shit it's only good on rally courses, it's a hill climb special, not an F1 bollid tuned for GP of Monaco.
 
I decided to use the Zonda C12 S for the PD cup. Man did I regret it. It has Brakes like rice pudding, and as soon as you tap the brakes all turning ability goes right out the window.
 
The Zonda is just another car that wants you to learn how to drive it, rather than vice versa. There is nothing wrong with it and it's astonishingly fast once you learn to brake very early and not lock up the fronts. It won't work in the PD Cup, of course, but you can make it even better by adding the race suspension and adjusting that.

And I actually love driving the Lupo. I guess I just don't need 400+ horsepower to have a good time.
 
It's easy to pick on the low-powered cars, isn't it?

It's also good to see there's a fan of the R33 LM, though. If we'd all agree on the same car, I'd suppose PD might make all the cars handle similarly.
 
My take on the worst cars is a bit different.

3 come to mind.

1) Spoon S2000 Race Car.

It's such a great car that I am super unhappy with its major lack of power. This thing can't even keep up with the normal road versions, none the less, the tuners like the mugen or the spoon.

2) Jaguar XJ220 Race Car and Road Car.

This tag team is just about the biggest disappointment in the game. In real life, the XJ220 road is awesome... Flat out awesome. I don't even know if there is a real life race version, but in keeping with tradition, the Race version of this car should be on pace with some of the fastest in the game.

The race version is so off pace it is not even funny. But with the engine, the drivetrain, the dimensions, etc. this car should have been a top runner. Instead, we got a big hunk of metal that drives like crap. A major let down indeed.

3) Lister V12 Storm

This may very well be the let down that keeps the jag from taking top honors as the biggest let down in the game.

The storm consistantly did well in the British GT championship as well as the FIA GT championship. It has an awesome engine, and all of the attributes that would create an awesome race car in any other form.

However, the in game lister is slow, heavy and handles like crap. This is indeed a horrible thing.

I would have to say the thing that makes many of these cars the worst cars in the game is the fact that common sense based on real life knowledge and theoretical ideas about "what should be" make these cars total disappointments and far less valuable racers than they should be.

I didn't know that the storm was in BTCC. I thought it was only GT series. But I know that it did fairly well in those as well as a couple of top 5 finishes in le mans.
 
Probably just an error on my behalf.

Went and edited it to say what should be said, rather than just my initial impressions of what series the list is famous for.

Bottom line: The lister, in whatever racing series it entered, did very well and could keep pace with the pack.

btw, I do think that in the past years, the lister was in bttc. Looking into it now. ;)

Finished my research... The lister was in the british gt championship as well as the fia gt champ.

It did well in both.

:D
 
One thing I noticed about the Storm race car in GT3 was that it's stats were for the road version, not the race version, it just had the race cars body. Look at it's weight, the real GT race car is around 1100Kg's. not over 1400Kg'so the real GT car depending on which class had between 550Bhp and 670Bhp which was in one version of the Storm GT1 which raced against the Elise GT1 and 911GT1 ect.
 
I have a video called Tiff Nedell Burning Rubber. He is one of the lister drivers. It's mainly him showing you how to do neat tricks like reverse flicks and 360s. But at the end he blasts up and down a runway in the Storm and it is very quick: 700bhp and top speed of around 210mph (and it doesn't take long for it to get there either).

P.S. For all you drifters, check this guy out, he drifts M5's, Merc's and even big Jags at 60mph+ (as well as all the usual drifting cars).
 
Tiff drifts everything, it was great when he hosted TopGear, now he does Fith gear instead bu thats not bad, just not as good as TopGear used to be.

Yeah, but you cannot tune in ANYTHING for the PD cup. Your car needs to be completely stock except for the tires. Tires are the only thing you can tune in because it does not seem to affect the race in any way.


Now I have more cars to despise. Third, the CTR2 may have great power but it is greatly undermined by pathetic handling. Even though it may look attractive, keep yourself away from it. As they say, looks can be deceiving. And 700-800hp for this car is nothing more than pig****.

Fourth, the Falcon XR8 has generally high unreliability. The handling is decent but it flames out in the other areas.
