Escudo Pikes peak version.
tuned to 1800bhp and more than a little rapid. I have managed to peg the speedo off the scale with this baby.
in excess of 200,000,000 mph.

Only one fun car I like in GT3.........RUF 911 CTR tuned to near 1100bhp.

All the race cars you win, or can buy make it too easy, more fun to get a tasty road car and play. No race kit as that makes it too easy again, 2WD not 4WD, but lightened and all the suspension, gears etc uprated. It's a bit tasty in the corners, you certainly learn the art of slide, but watch out for the tyres it will shred Hard compound slicks in 2-3laps if your brutal.

modded tommy kaira, belching out just under 1000bhp. about the same weight as a mars bar too, so it goes well.

AND unlike some of the cars it looks amazing as well, replays are alomost as much fun as flinging it around laguna

Mazda 787B.

Kicks everything into touch without even trying.
Very very quick but more importantly very very easy to drive.

Pikes Peak is quick in a straight line but try cornering and its a different beast all together.

Of, and of course, and Evo 6 RS just becasue I've got one

Stearing the Escudo is a piece of ****, I do it with the traction control turned off too. you have to use the brakes to stop the wheels spinning though.

Mazda 787B - Kicks **** everywhere. Mine's done 2800km
Mazda MX5 Old shape - modded to the hilt, TC off in the wet, awesome.
Zonda C12S with 900bhp - very tail happy.
Toyota Yaris 1.5 Turbo - Funny
Citroen Xsara Kit Car, the one you win is quicker than the one you buy - the best FWD car in the game.
Mustang SVT with all the engine mods, stock suspension & hard slicks - the best car going for replays, just watch the body roll!

How many of you have got all the licences ?

new shape Impreza rally car
S4 500bhp very funny you go sideways everywhere.
The Pikes Peak car is a wee bit uncontrolable and not that rewarding.
The F1 car is amazing. Bloody fast and the grip is something else.
The Tommy Kiara ZII looks sooo cool (was this car ever made for real?)

But my fav cars are the 911 based RUF's. The boxster one is not really that good but the noise is fab

Can't really get on with the Skylines. The steering is remote and there is not a lot of feedback. When you tune them 800+ the chassis can't take the power.

4.44 for the complex string with the RUF RGT. Not very good as I spun once. I'm sure I could knock 20 seconds off it with a bit of practise.

My Favourite at the mo. is the Mustang SVT.. i've sorted just about everything on it and you can just powerslide it perfectly...

for seroius racing i have a RUF 911. been playing with the camber angles, etc lately to try and reduce the understeer, but with not much luck... but i've now come to the conclusion that it's due to the massive power it's putting out.. so i just touch the handbrake now to get the back slidding on the tighter corners..

Mark, take one R32 Skyline tune the **** off it (850ish bhp), set the centre diff to 90% rear, buy some gravel tyres and then go and do Smokey Mountain or Tahiti Maze. Laugh, I nearly crashed!

Ah something to do with all the credits I have amassed.

Best time so far is 4:27.621, done with a 675bhp TVR Tuscan Speed Six with pretty much everything done to it.

The two F1 cars are:
Polyphony 001, V10 (no displacement given, probably based on current 3l) (789bhp)
Polyphony 002, 1.5l V6 Turbo (789bhp)
