(I registered just to share this and see everyone's opinions. I realize the game's a bit old now, but I'll address that later.)
Let me paint you a picture... Trial Mountain Circuit. You're racing against pretty decent performance cars around this rolling track. GTRs, Evos, Beemers, RX-7s, the lot. You just won a new ride that you thought you would tune up and see how it competes. Expectations not very high. To your surprise, you find yourself in the lead by about 13.5 seconds. This car is really surprising you, you think. It handles very well and accelerates like no one's business. The last S curve comes up and you, being a bit distracted, overshoot the turn, go off the track to the bit of grass with a steep bank. Your car flies into the air, lands on its nose, flips around longwise, lands on its roof... it's an ugly flip. You have no control over the car, you just have to wait to get reset. A very ugly flip. It takes roughly 10 seconds to get reset. "[EXPLETIVE]," you say aloud while watching the cars approach you on the map. Looks like you fudged this race. WRONG. SO WRONG. You get reset, slam the throttle and the car takes off into light speed. You're around 75mph again while approaching the first curve. You retain a 5 or 6 second lead. What is this godlike Roman chariot of a vehicle? It's an Audi Q7: full-size luxury crossover.
Actually, it's the 2003 Pikes Peak Quattro, but IRL this was developed as a concept car that became the Audi Q7. Maybe your friend's parents have one. Maybe you see them hanging around the rental car lot. My point is... Has anyone discovered how much of a behemoth this car is? I destroyed the German car challenge in A-Spec Extreme around the Nurburgring against SLS AMGs and the sort. Admittedly, I sunk a good chunk of change it upgrades, including a 75,000 credit spoiler, but holy crow this thing flies. And it's so enjoyable to drive. With the torque-sensing diff, you can get it to handle like a WRX STi or slide around like a powerful MR. Who else has found an uncharacteristically powerful car in the game that they fell in love with?
Does anyone know if this car is available in GT6? Or something similar to it? I can justify buying the game if I get to embarrass everyone with their tuned-up Gallardos and GTRs in my giant rental car combat tank.
