I recently got a new favourite in the Mugen S2000. Good power, great handling and looks nice. đź‘Ť
Cheers!

I can see several races you won't win with those 15 cars even if you ask them nicely.
01. Yarris / Vitz championship.
02. Elise Championship.
03. FWD races.
04. Beetle Cup.
05. Honda Type R championship.
Do I need to add more?

I realise that you're good humouredly giving me a 'dig in the ribs', so no worries mate!
But what i meant was that any of the cars that i mentioned, could win any race that they are capable of entering onto.
Mind you it does create a hillarious mental picture, the idea of entering my favorites into the races you mention:
The driver says to his Escudo: "No no, you'll be OK, they're only a bunch of Yarris's"

GT4 comes to mind when talking about the cars winning races for you!
I can remember something being said about B Spec points on the GT4 forum.
If the Variable centre diff could go to 100% front wheel drive and 0% rear that 1800 hp
Escudo would be fun in the FWD. Under steer you say, I say no steer!
Gram Nitrous I did know what you meant, but a little bit of good humor never hurt. Thanks for taking it the way it was meant).

I'd say the most HP you could get out of a car before it becomes unmanagable is somewhere around 500 HP. . .i guess it just depends on ur drivin style. But 4 me, i like any car with its original suspension, lightweight, and lotsa POWER(up to ~500HP)!!

My favs đź‘Ť Toyota Sprinter Trueno S.S. Version, great car in every catergory bone stock, revvy engine, almost supernatural-like handiling, and gobs of grip. 
Subaru 22B STi, my favorite AWD car, gutsy EJ22 boxer with plenty of power to give, fun as hell handiling, pull the E brake and slide it around any corner, and you'll see what I mean.
Toyota Altezza RS200, the spritual successor to the AE86, and certianly drives like it. great manuverability for a big car, powerful,rev-happy engine,and great drifting potential. đź‘Ť

I enjoy driving 'Rally' cars and my 
CLK AMG but the most enjoyable is my Green Peridot Lotus Esprit 150 on Tahiti Circuit w/full rally mods, it takes a while not to spin in every turn but after that it's like flying... 
wait i am flying...

I dig the Cobra R, too. You can get it in any color, as long as it's red. I miss the regular SVT from GT2, not only could you buy it in different colors, but you could {R} mod it.
But the most enjoyable car in GT3?
That's difficult for me...I can't make up my mind!

skyline r-34 vspec II. Why? Cos i was so noob in the beginning that i did test course again and again gaining 2000 each time so i could get it.
Stayed up all night trying to.
THEN i had to get the turbo stage 4. So bloody annoying!

I still love my 3000GT. You can do some lovely mass/momentum transfers with a 4wd that heavy and that strong. And it's perdy to watch, too!

I pick the Evo VII GSR because in arcade mode, I turn off the ASM and TCS to do donuts. When I finish cycloning, I watch the replay and have my fun.

đź‘Ť I have found this to be true as well. Plus, when you use these kinds of cars to race heavy, high HP machines, you get an incredible rush as you pass them in the corners.
Gives a sense of pride, ya know? Like, "I tuned this thing myself for hours on end and it finally paid off".
My most enjoyable car;
Lotus Motor Sport Elise '99
All NA tune, lightening, suspension, tranny, and tire upgrades/mods
Watch your back, Mr. Muscle Car.

It's good to know there are others out there who race like me! I get a rush too, when I can execute a turn well enough to outbrake another car that has more power than me down a straight. It always boggles me when I see some other folks posting how proud they are that they can bash their car into walls and win a race. It's like...you could STILL win it without bashing walls! I find I get better lap times actually when my car does laps with no contact. A simple wall-graze can add up to a half second of time.

The Formula 1 cars are really good
they have handling, speed, and acceleration
they have handling, speed, and acceleration
well, after i found an old replay of GT3 again where i drove my beloved GT3-car .... might share my little GT3-story here:
Back in 2002 my brother was far into the game and I played it only sometimes, and when I did, I choose the Arcade-Mode.
Since I'm a Le Mans-geek, i choose the Oreca Viper ... great car and looks just too good ... anyway, drove that around a bit until I got better at it and it started to be boring. Choose the wet SS5-track by accident and started to battle with my Viper against the GTOne and the R390 Racecar ... tried the Vertigo Racecar after i knew how to win with the Viper, and it really was more difficult to keep the Vertigo on the road. Heh, the downside of it having just 800 kilos or so...
Well, one day I just started to take the Lister Storm V12-racecar and battle the GTOne and the R390. And i didn't manage to beat them, even the Panoz did outperform me back then... heh. Seems like it's way back ...
Anyway, tried to race without the Driving Aids and it took me some time until I finally managed to claim first place, but that was the time when GT3 took my heart, heh .... I did race some races he already had (just for fun) and clocked about 1200 miles with it.
Until a friend lent me her PS2 and i could start a new game, i didn't really think about getting even deeper into the game, but i started to look for a challenge after I got better the more I played. But one day I started a strange Challenge, i can't remember why but it must have been since i wanted to re"play" some of the old (and fun) races against the GTOne and the R390 ...
Anyway, meddling around with the setup, qualifiers (tires) and a turbo-2, I finally had a hard challenge again - Trial Mountain, Lister Storm V12 and the above-mentioned tuning:
Try to pass the GTOne, the R390 (both Racecars) and whatever will be there, too ... but forget about the 787B, I didn't manage to beat him.
Now, what's so difficult about this? Don't crash. Don't hit the R390 and GTOne, don't bounce off the walls or shortcut.
If you have Turbo-3, no problem (you might think) - the good thing about Turbo-2 is, you get to race the R390 and the GTOne and you have a real challenge.
You can literally only pass them if they make a mistake after the long backstraight into the "hairpin" and hit the outer wall. That makes them slow down enough to let you pass them - if you managed to keep their pace without hitting anything, that is
You might see where this is going - it took me some 2 hours to have one clean run i didn't need to abort just because i hit a wall (which can very frustrating if the R390 hits you from behind and makes you go up into that wall ...) - and then i didn't manage to keep up with the GTOne/R390 and didn't win.
I only managed to win that challenge some 30 times or so, but the replays are really worth the trouble. Blocking the GTOne and the R390 out of the tunnel, down the backstraight going into the "hairpin" was so much thrill ...
Needless to say, the Storm is >the< GT3-car for me.
It's not perfect, it's not fast enough and some don't even know it's in the game. But it makes for some great races against the Viper GTS-R (Laguna Seca, heh!) or the GTOne - if you can beat them, that is.

My highly hybrid'd PT Cruiser @ 800+/- hp, RWD, nicely offset wheel diameters, and 15mm ride height. I'm still tuning it to this day trying to make it lithe, nimble, and balanced. Otherwise it would be my attempt of building the Mini Cooper that graces the screen in the GT Genome Project.
