No, it's not the best handling car. But it's still easy to steer, except for sharp turns at about 200mph, which tends to get a little out of control.
Power. Hah! Of course it's powerful. Nobody can touch you, short of a hybrid. No car in the game will beat it's acceleration, but some cars are better in top speed by a hair or two. In any case, 270mph is too fast.
Credits. Yes, it's expensive. but it really should be more like 10million credits, or your first-born child, or even a prize for completing the game.
I'm sure everyone here has raced the Escudo in the GT500 series (and nearly fell asleep by the time the Rome round began). thus, it's so boring to race. It's fun to duel your friends in it, but it's absolutely no challenge to race no matter what. Even beating the AI's Escudo at Pikes Peak was rather easy.
Setting lap records with the Escudo makes GT2 life a little unreasonable. Who wants to challenge an Escudo lap record with a Supra GT? It's just not possible.
Thus, it's nice to have, but the fun wears off after 2 races.
For 2 million credits, I'd suggest trying to get the best out of the Venturi Atlantique LM600 or the Renault Espace F1 before trying the Escudo. you won't learn anything new with the Suzuki Coat-of-Arms.
