the mitsu GTO comes first in my list..

it kills all and i really mean "ALL" of the cars in the game..

the 2nd one would be the 89 GTR..it also kills "ALL" of the competition.. it could run at least 3-4 laps more in a worn out tire (by worn out i mean the devilish red color of the wheel status)..
 
Anyway, here is the results of one of my tests (I do alot of car tests in all the GT games). This test is my closest to the subject at hand.

Overall, 9.693 miles
1. Concept car..............................4'56.4 @ 117.8 mph
2. TVR Cerbera............................4'56.5 @ 117.7 mph
3. Honda del Sol LM.....................5'02.1 @ 115.5 mph
4. Mazda RX-7 LM.......................5'03.4 @ 115.0 mph
5. Mitsubishi FTO LM...................5'04.2 @ 114.7 mph
6. Subaru Impreza Rally Edition.....5'05.2 @ 114.3 mph
7. Nissan Silvia LM (S14)..............5'06.1 @ 114.0 mph
8. Nissan Nismo GTR LM.............5'08.5 @ 113.1 mph
9. Honda NSX-R LM GT2............5'09.4 @ 112.8 mph
10.Toyota Castrol Supra GT..........5'11.3 @ 112.1 mph
11.Mazda RX-7 Aspec LM............5'11.4 @ 112.1 mph
12.Mitsubishi GTO LM..................5'13.7 @ 111.2 mph
13.Dodge Viper GTS-R.................5'14.8 @ 110.3 mph
14.Toyota Chaser LM....................5'18.1 @ 109.7 mph
 
That's a two lap time trial of what track?

Or is it some particular 3-lap race in the GT World Cup?
 
Its the sum of four flying time trial laps on four different couses. The courses being SSR5, Trial Mountain, Autumn ring and SSR11. I used time trial and did a few time trials with each car on each course. I tried to keep it as fair as possible so If I used one car first on Trial Mountain, it would go last on autumn ring. I also did other things to get an accurate reflection of each cars capabilities.
 
Did you adjust the tuning?

Did you adjust it for each track?

I think you did very well with the Chaser LM. :yuck:
 
Yes, but not too much. I adjusted the suspensions to suit my driving style and adjusted the gearbox on the cars that were reaching their max on the straight at SSR11. Other than those gearboxes, I did not adjust setting for each track.

Im not that big of a settings person, I prefer to get my lines and braking points right first.
 
I don't know why but if the Green FTO LM is rare, well I got 4 green ones before I got a black one. I wanted the black cause I thought that was the rare one! Anyway, FTO is the best because of mid 500 hps, wide body kit and best of all just over 2k lbs :)
 
The green one is rare? I got 7 green FTOs before a black one!
That car is HOT! Fast, good lookn', easy to drive, what esle couldya want?

You forgot the Nismo 400R, It will smoke 99% of those cars!
 
A well driven LM will be quicker around a demanding track than any 900 + GTO, Skyline or Supra.
However if you rate top speed as determining your best car then the 900+ HP GTO, Skyline & Supra are all close.
The FTO LM is easier to drive fast than the Cerbera LM, but the Cerbera LM wins out as my lap record holder at most tracks.

I agree and I think the Cerbera LM also wins out as my lap record holder at most tracks.

Beat me to it HYBRIDVR, I was just going to point out his ommission...

GTO is the best for me...

and the Muscle car String Ray Corvette.... How would I get that in Simulation mode?

Yeah, I want the '67 Vette in sim mode too. But, I think it's only in arcade mode. If it is in simulation mode, then I have yet to find it.

Simple, You Hack it in! Truly the Nismo 400R will Smoke most any powerful car on a "Twisty track" like Grand Valley or Route11 etc... This includes the GT0 TT, Cerbera, FTO's etc.. Ive tested them all! Tracks with long Straights is where the GTO Twinn Turbo will win handsdown, The best car in the game besides using the test track is the Concept Car, Second is the 400R, Third is the GTO Twinn Turbo, Tested over and over and the Concept out handles anything in the game, That's where it will win the race!

1:Racing NSX TypeSzero (fully modified & custom tuned)...Fastest cornering car in the game imo (if suspension is tuned correctly) also has better acceleration than Cerbera.

2:Cerbera LM....Fastest cornering FR car in game imo, alot easier to drive than the NSX TypeSzero, does not require s**t loads of fine tuning to achieve awsome lap times.

3:NSX GT2 LM...Not as fast as the TypeSzero through corners, also like the TypeSzero it suffers from terrible default suspension settings, luckly this can be fixed.

Thing is ...the Racing TypeSZero chassis comes with absolutly terrible default suspension settings....honestly the default settings imo fall far below what can be achieved with some time well spent sorting out the cars suspension, once you have managed to set up chassis/suspension correctly, it handles exteamly well, thats not to say the NXS will be as easy to use as the cerbera, the sharp handling and oversteer will still require nimble finger work.

Best thing i like about the Racing TypeSzero is i can brake later and turn in quicker carrying more speed through the corner than i can with the Cerbera, much to the dislike of my friends who all used the Cerbera :sly:.

Overall i found the cerbera is more consistant in its lap times, in the TypeSzero even slight bumps or deviations in the track surface can cause the car to vear off coarse or dastically lose its racing line costing vital seconds :scared: , Where as the cerbera just plows straight though with minimal upset to the chassis or its racing line.
 
My favorite cars were the GTO LM, the Impreza Rally Car and the TVR Cerbera LM. I did like the Castrol Supra, but with the setup I had on the subie, I could kill just about everything except the high speed runs (that's when the GTO came out :sly:)
 
The cars that are on my GT1 Favorites list are the Dodge Concept Car (for the styling.), The Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo (for the capability of reaching speeds of nearly 300 Miles per hour+.), the Chevrolet Corvette Coupe '96 (for the 5.7 liter V8), The Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) (for the Massive amount of power in the engine when fully tuned, 937 hp under the hood.), The Toyota Chaser LM Race Car (for the handling.) and the Dodge viper (for the 8.3 liter V10).
 
TVR Cerbera LM was my favourite... killed anything and everything and could get round Deep Forest in under a minute!

I did like the Supra TRD3000 thingy you got for all gold on one of the licences though... that was pretty sweet.

My favorites were the Castrol Supra, TVR Cerbera LM, the Concept Car, and the GTO that I bought stock and fully modded. Oh, and my fully tricked out Demio; that car was a blast to drive, particularly around Autumn Ring Mini.

Deep Forest was perhaps my favorite track in GT1, and I got around it in less than a minute with a couple cars; the Concept Car of course, the Supra or Cerbera (or both, I don't recall) and the GTO.

For some reason the Skyline never "did it" for me, though. Nice car, the only car I won Megaspeed with other than the GTO, but not on my list of favorites.

Give the car below a chance, I'm sure you will see it differently!

My best: Subaru Impreza Rally Car (after tweaking the gears).
My fave car to drive is either the Concept Car or a RM Demio for the same reason: easy bicycling.
