True enough... I'm a fan of 'stangs, but it is no secret, they are definately a tad overweight.
Sorta like George Foreman - Big, fat, mean SOB... But I wouldn't wanna tell him that. :cheeburga
What is a good car to use I have got the first 2 licenses and got about 100,000 and have 1/2 way complete beginners cup and 1/4 of ametuer. I have a Dodge Viper too fast for me to control 1110 HP and I also have a Corvette Z8 I think it is thats 2 slow and a Jaguar XT Coupe' which has such a slow pick up. What is a good car for me???

Well, asking for a "best" car choice will get a lot of different (and usually very passionate) responses. It sounds like you might want to spend some time with the tweaks and upgrades? Like, take down the Viper from the 1000+ HP you have it at. Instead, try putting in a full racing transmission and adjust the gears for the tracks.
It's not that hard, especially in GT3. Here's an easy way to do it on any car. Go to the trans. setting, go down to the auto bar and move it down or up. Then take it out on a track, say, for a qualifying lap if you're in a race.
Now, the car should redline in top gear shortly before you begin braking after the longest straight. There are some exceptions depending on the track, but that's a good general rule.
If the ratios are too long, for example, and you're just hitting top gear when you start braking, go back to settings and shorten them (move the slider to the left) and try again. Pretty soon, it'll become fairly easy to know about where to adjust your settings.
This way, you don't really need 1000 HP to win at the Test Course, just set really wide ratios. (You should lower downforce, if possible, but just work on the ratios first). In Monaco/Cote D'Azur on the other hand, I set it to redline about the time I come out of the open tunnel.
I hope this helps.
And if you really want to know my personal fav car in the game, it's the NSX. But that's just me. You'll find a fav, too.

I do not have the Esprit 350, but all this talk about it is making want one now 
What is the drivetrain and power rates for that car....? I would have to say also that when you buy the racing transmission, the setting that is already applied when you install it on the car is usually just right for anything. Of course, stretch it wide for the Test Course, but other than that, I don't mess with it. You should be able to run that Viper with stock horsepower with a racing transmission, and do fairly well. Good luck with that Esprit 350!! :burnout:

with the esprit 350 fully upgraded, its one of the fastest cars in the game. as far as top speed goes, i think its is THE fastest (excluding escudo). it handles pretty good, and it looks gorgeous max HP is ~1070, and the drivetrain is MR. i'd buy it, its great it was the 3rd car i bought in the game! (svt was 2nd)

well. little yes. unique yes. but for some reason i get the feeling your thinking of the Elise. don't get them mixed up. the Esprit Sport 350 is a monster!!! and the Elise is a grandmas roadster

The Lotus Motor Sport Elise

The Lotus Esprit V8-SE
Anyone got any other suggestions... all I'm looking for is a good all round car with which I can win the GT world championship races and the German Touring Car Championship with...
