Okay, enough bashing on the Toyota GT-One. I know I talk about it in threads, but come on, now. I mean, yeah, so Toyota almost won Le Mans in 1999 and never took first place. An analogy is the Audi R8C back in 1999. It is a stylish race car even though it placed about... 33rd, maybe 38th back in 1999. Personally, when I raced the Toyota GT-One in the IA Final Test, I fell in love with the power of the car as well as how it doesn't slide out very easily. And to go 200, even 240 mph (highest speed I've ever done was 260 with the road car), and it's a real race car. So is the Nissan R390 GT1, and even that car didn't win. The R391 LMP car just screams FAST, but again, that didn't win. The only Japanese car to win Le Mans outright so far is the Mazda 787B. Its only weakness is that if (and I know it was old technology)... but if it had one more gear, it would be hellaciously fast.
Often times, I heard that even thought the Le Mans race cars can be as powerful or even outclass Formula One race cars. But for the most part, F1 cars and sportscars kick a$$ respectively. I'm more of a sportscar person, but I respect the guts of F1 racers to win. If I had to label a car a sportscar as one I don't really like, it's the Lister Storm. Oh, another pick would be the Lotus Esprit Race Car. I don't know, I tend to think the Esprit is a poor man's Lamborghini. Just never really been a fan. But of course, we are all human, and to hate on someone because of a certain car that one person doesn't like is almost always pointless. I think Gran Turismo doesn't have all economy cars, instead, there are high-performing machines from the Subaru 360 all the way up to... dare I say... the Toyota GT-One. The game will truly exceed 500 cars, so that means more than 500 cars that one person can come around and calling one such car their favorite.
The best car in GT4 will be the one that a person can see themselves in, have great performance to boot, and just truly call it "MY CAR." Racing all the different make-focused cars (for example, the TVR Tuscan Cup), you'll find more favorites with tuning. Like I said in one thread, "even though most Lancias are ugly, the Delta S4 had impressive handling on the road. I could throw it around Seattle Circuit II (why they call it "(some circuit) II?" Just call it "(some circuit) Reverse," or "Reverse (some circuit)"). Well, make your favorites, but they will change in time. Go for it.
