I loathe DT Gardens and GT7 physics are still alien to me, but I would love Baron's website preferences, usernames, and passwords.

GT7:
Also, I'm getting really tired from real life. Reviews are coming at a snail's pace. I'm sorry.

It's Week 196 of Car of the Week. Do you know what that means? It means I'm surrendering my reign of terror (and incompetence) back to its rightful owner and now happily wed, @Racer283 !
"Power never goes away; the best you can do is to seize it", is one of the best quotes from the HITMAN series. And thus, Racer seized the power to... give us all power? That's right, because this week, the married man has chosen the...
2015 Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce as this week's car!
Be sure to be there tomorrow at 10 P.M. CST for Racer's last sporty pick! I have a feeling that his picks nine months from now will be SUVs, MPVs, and family hatchbacks...

Ahhh, the awesome SV! Puh, it's realy not easy to extract the limit out of this car. Certainly more difficult, than with the Taycan, Enzo, and strangely enough...even the standard Aventador. Nonetheless, it's obviously incredibly fast. It does sound nice too. And the look is just sexy! I did expect a better laptime, than this, but then again, it's probably one more case, where the downforce isn't being simulated all that accurately and the SH tyre compound might not be a realistic representation of the real one.
Driven stock on hard sport tyres without any driving aids, except ABS. First lap in third person view, second one in cockpit view and third one in cinematic replay view. All driven laps are the same lap.
Did a 07.12.492 on the Nords with it.

Tsukuba rivals:
Verdict: neutral I guess?

Playing with Both TT's part 2...
Last week we took a look at quite possibly the best of the Group 3 Road cars... The Peugeot RCZ. Yes, it has had a lot of attention thrown at it by Polyphony Digital, and for us and the car itself, it has paid off in spades. I chose the Dragon Trail Gardens to showcase its prowess, as it is vastly under-used and just because I really despise Seaside. Hate, hate hate HATE that track!!! But enough about that...
In GTSport, I'm comfy with this MR beast. But admittedly, I've been a fan of this version of the French Audi TT for quite some time. This configuration just works... and quite well to boot. 1:43.626 is what I could get from this car track combo.
In GT7's version of Time Trials, this happens... 1:48.478 in the same car, on the very same track but on a different game. Almost 5 seconds difference. Certainly not the numbers I was looking for!
The things that make you go HMMMMM!

This was fun because I love the car and the track! The contrast between the two cars was shocking. In GTS the RCZ has a lot of front end grip and the way it turns in sharply took me by surprise. It's much tamer in GT7 and actually a bit boring by comparison, though much easier to drive. I couldn't resist a little competion @Baron Blitz Red. I think my times are respectable.

Really glad to see that I wasn't the only one hemorrhaging more than 3 seconds transitioning to GT7 physics! 
I thought it was just me!
@Baron Blitz Red I think your RCZ in GTS has a race transmission. Also, who got closest to the magic secret number and thus the special internet cookies? I really like this format, because it prevents Vic from just nuking us all

@Draggon ... I wouldn't or couldn't expect anything else from you... we have had some exceptionally close results in our past, and seemingly still do. Excellent!!!
@XSquareStickIt ... glad you're liking this, I'm hoping to try and work things out so we might continue this mini game, depending on the others of course. As for your question, Nobody has achieved my secret formula yet... which surprises me. As for the racing transmission, I will investigate and rectify that if needed. Thanks for pointing it out to me!
Cheers

Racer now has the reins of COTW back, but he's using it to make me do all his work while he claims all the credit!
This week's car is chosen by our Snoopy–shooting, #66 loving, crimson–clad Canadian @Baron Blitz Red , who has chosen a NSX–beating, #36 bearing, orange and white 2016 au TOM'S RC F GT500 as this week's car! (Eh, close enough, I guess?)
Now, the question is... will we "Experience Amazing" when playing with both TT's? Or will we find out why 2016 was the last year Lexus ran the RC F? See you all on Tuesday, 10 p.m. CST!

Sounds like a good time to "Group 2 TT'S together" this week at Nurburgring GP... 😆
Couldn't resist it.

Awesome rocket. Surprisingly quicker (even if ever so slightly), than the NSX Gr. 2 offering. Rather wild thing, compared to the other 2 Gr. 2 2016 offerings, although the NSX is also quite a handful. I managed a 05.59.134. Driven stock on hard racing tyres without any driving aids, except ABS. First lap in third person view, second one in cockpit view and third one in cinematic replay view. All driven laps are the same lap.
Honestly can not wait to share the hot lap with you...in...2024!
(16.08.2024 to be exact, so in exactly 2 years and...5 days ) Verdict: slight sleeper?

Oh sure, share your GTS hot lap video 2 years after the release of GT7.
Why are you holding back on them? And what time did you manage with the 2016 GT-R and NSX GT500, if you don't mind sharing?
Maybe... you need to play with some TT's? I'm sure Vic will respond on whatever track you pick. Maybe go do it on Horse Thief Mile?

Mate, it's how my next project works. From 01.01.2023 every two days one GTS hot lap, until all cars are shown. Starting with the slowest car, and working the way up to the fastest.
So, the NSX managed a 05.59.341, and the GT-R a 05.58.323. I personally liked the NSX lap the most out of the three, although it is the slowest. The lap was simply more on the limit, than the other two. It just looks awesome. I'm not showing off, I just love the car and love seeing cars on the limit. I am aware, that here on this site alone, there are quite a few players, who could probably get it even under a 06.55.

That Lexus was hooked up! The grip was amazing, over the limit was pretty neutral, maybe leaning a bit towards understeer, but what a fun car to drive. Engine has a decent sound and the gears were pretty sweet in stock trim. Had a couple goos races with it, could almost keep up with Vic at a couple tracks. Really loved this car and didnt expect to, so i guess my verdict is sleeper.
I do love a high downforce car though, so maybe a bit biased to these gr2 machines.

I have been chosen to choose the next COTW. All of you know what it means: I'll take the slowest car possible!
BUT, there's...
To my utter disappointment, I can only give you the 10th! slowest car of the game, as apparently the 9 slowest have already been tested.
In all seriousness, the one I've chosen is a neat little car, that is actually fun to drive, so enjoy!

Alex has been testing cars for a while in the COTW Community and has been a great help with keeping track of the list of cars that have not been chosen yet. Like in the above post, lets take a look at the 10th slowest car in GT Sport. This weeks car is Honda S800 '66. This weeks car is chosen by @Alex p.

A little twitchy quicky
I managed a 09.47.604. Driven stock on hard sports tyres without any driving aids, except ABS. First lap in third person view, second one in cockpit view and third one in cinematic replay view. All driven laps are the same lap.
Verdict: sleeper

What a pleasant surprise this car was.
I was just loathing the thought of another gutless, soulless, flat, uninspiring low horsepower car I can't drive due to lack of inspiration,. But low and behold, this car has true soul, a high reving engine, rear wheel drive and actual ballance! This car can be thrown around, or driven delicately and still have pace. I LOVED our evening of racing this beauty of a car. There were lots of close battles, it was hard to pull away as the draft was so good in this machine. Nobody was walking away on this one.
Vic as always was king, but I feel I put in a good fight with this one.
One of my favorites this year for sure.
Thats comming from a guy who lives for high speed high downforce cars. So safe to say, I'm gonna have to go with sleeper.
Best choice from you yet Alex,

This week we are taking a look at one of the underrated VGTs in the game according to @Nismonath5. This week we are taking a look at the Infiniti Concept VGT.

Underrated? 
Well, this might be the WORST car in the game? The handling is ATROCIOUS! And there are quite a bit of ****** cars in the game...it came standard on sports soft I believe? But as with all cars coming on any type of sports tyre, I changed it to sports hard, as to better compare them all directly. Driven stock on hard sport tyres without any driving aids, except ABS. First lap in third person view, second one in cockpit view and third one in cinematic replay view. All driven laps are the same lap.
I managed a 07.28.163
Verdict: King of the Beaters Have fun guys! (it could actually be decent on SS tyres idk)

You could make a TikTok song out of this.
Underrated? I probably picked the wrong word for it. Understated maybe? I mean if it wasn't for this car, Infiniti wouldn't even have a presence in the franchise these days (Until we get cars like the G35, Q60 Project Black S, or some other rebadged Nissan.)
It has no cockpit cam, no particularly standout characteristics, heck there's just no reason to pick one up in GT7 unless you're trying to fill in your car-Pokedex. That's literally the only reason I dropped a million bucks on mine.
In GT Sport however, there is no car-Pokedex and so there goes the only reason to even think about buying one. Just hope you get one in the daily marathon so you can try it out, accept its mediocrity and let it sink to the bottom of your garage.
"So why did you pick it for this week, Nath?" I hear some of you mutter. Well, it's simple. COTW in GT6 was always about giving the spotlight to those overlooked or otherwise less known about cars in the game. Think of it as a kind of return to form I guess!

Lmao what a perfect way to describe this mess of a car. Can't wait to read all other reviews. @XSquareStickIt will have a field day with it, won't he?
Also can't wait to show you the replay on the Nords. It's all sparks!

Well, I don't even know what to say about this heap. Unpredictable oversteer, not helped by the super sharp steering that makes almost any correction an overcorrection. No flow, also not helped by the fact that all 4 tires seem to have trouble contacting the track over any bumps or undulations.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say this is a definite BEATER.
STILL BETTER THAN THE MITO

I've been taking a break from writing as of late, partly due to the fact that I caught COVID and it basically had me bedridden, and partly just good old fashioned burnout. Got really sick of my own negativity surrounding GT7 and life in general. The Aventador really didn't help things. I wrote the review but didn't want to publish it. During isolation, I've been playing Yakuza 7, which is free for PS+ this month, and I was HOOKED.Lmao what a perfect way to describe this mess of a car.

Thought I'd give my quick 2 cents on the Infiniti VGT. Mostly as a PSA.
Don't buy the Infiniti VGT, it's god–awful.
It suffers from a plethora of problems, some of which are typical VGT problems, others unique to itself. It costs a million credits and can't be used for anything. It's got no interior view. Not that I think you'd be able to see anything out of it anyway, with a bonnet so high and the windows so narrow. And it drives so terrible that it couldn't have possibly been test driven before it was greenlit.
Because it's a styling exercise given propulsion, there was no thought at all given to how the thing drives. It has nonexistent ground clearance, and as such will bottom out even on mirror smooth fictional racetracks, like Kyoto. The underbody of the car is in contact with the road more than the tyres themselves, as the car sparks so much on innocuous sections of racetracks at pedestrian, no downforce speeds, I suspect we could eradicate world hunger altogether if each spark was a grain of pineapple rice. Oh, and I highly suspect that the underbody itself is made of a large bar of soap, because this car simply WILL NOT GRIP under most circumstances.
The car inexplicably swings its rear end out even with mild trail braking at any speed, from the hairpin of Suzuka to Turn 1 of Kyoto. The oversteer was so problematic that, even with staggered tyres, downgrading to Sport Mediums on the front from the default Sport Softs, the issue still persists to a smaller degree. The car legitimately goes faster if you give the front less grip, to give you an idea of how lopsided the handling of this "car" is. Of course, with a staggered tyre setup like that, the rear tyres will wear out quicker, and the game doesn't let you individually choose which compound to put on the car if you pit for a tyre change, so that solution is a very temporary band aid at best. Why does it have oversteer worse than an air–cooled 911? Is it the suspension? The car bottoming out? Shenanigans with its drivetrain? I don't know. I don't care. All I know, and all that I need to know, is that this "car" is irresponsibly dangerous to share a track with.
When I first spun it out and the gearbox disengaged to prevent the car stalling, I noticed the car automatically inputs about a quarter throttle for whatever odd reason, which I have never seen on any other car. I then had this crazy idea that, whatever that auto input is might be making the car oversteer on corner entry. Surprisingly, keeping a tad of throttle on while trail braking does prevent the rear end from swinging out, and it's a trick worth practicing because GT7's weird physics will demand that of you, judging by the most recent GTWS live event where multiple drivers are shown to double pedal input when trail braking. That helps with the corner entry oversteer, but nothing will help the car put down power on corner exits aside from just being careful. Spoiler alert: the car can't put down power at all. Even with a huge power advantage afforded to it by the game counting only its ICE power and completely ignoring the battery's power, the Infiniti VGT still gets out–accelerated on corner exits by a base 2017 GT-R crippled down to match ICE power with the Infiniti. I know the GT-R has AWD, but it's also a lot heavier a car with no hybrid system. And it's been crippled.
I complained about the hybrid setup of the McLaren Ultimate VGT being too aggressive, discharging too quickly and powerfully, resulting in a very inconsistent drive. The Infiniti VGT has the polar opposite problem, in that its hybrid setup is so mild that it will basically never leave full charge. On the plus side, that means that its power delivery is very consistent, with the ICE engine being naturally aspirated and having a very gradual climb to its peak of 7,500rpm of 8k, and you'll be able to enjoy the benefits of a hybrid setup saving you fuel through the whole event. On the downside, it... can be a lot faster, and it squanders away regen under every braking zone because the batteries are almost always fully charged. I found out that the car has an Overtake function, and even with it held down for the whole race, I couldn't get the batteries to have a net charge loss from one lap to the next at Red Bull Ring. Also, yes, the batteries never running out of charge means that there's no reason to not hold down the Overtake button the WHOLE RACE to get the most out of the car, which by extension means you have to do it.
What a stupid car. It looks stupid, drives stupid, and makes you stoop to its stupidity to scrape the bottom of the barrel to get the most of it. Not only is it expensive and useless, a base GT-R whoops it any day, any track not Monza, la Sarthe, or Route X.
The Infiniti VGT is not only complete garbage, but it's a strong contender for Beater of the Year. Can we learn our lesson already and not subject ourselves to more of this VGT crap?
