Safe to say that Scooter’s brain fade (his worst one he admitted.) was pretty catastrophic for their races, but it’s something I still do as well, I just usually end up being the only casualty from it. 
But I digress, to the cars.
The Honda S2000, GT2’s cover car, the spiritual successor to the Honda S800 and the end result of when you combine an MX5 with a VTEC engine.
Nicely balanced, potent(providing you keep it singing at high rpms.) and enjoyable to drive. 👍
Verdict: Sleeper 👍
The VW Beetle Gr3 as previously mentioned before, is a bit of an oddity.
It doesn’t have a Road car to base it’s self on, it’s power output is on par with the GRC VW Beetle Rallycross and was originally the go to pick in GTS’s early days.
Did feel a little soft and understeery in its stock settings, but was overall not too bad.
Verdict: Neutral
So on to the last of the dinosaurs or in this case, the last of the Vipers.
The Dodge Viper GTS with its comically large 8.4 litre V10 engine(Still the biggest engine ever put in a mass production car.) and making nearly 650hp and 600ft-lbs of torque.
Backing up that engine is a 6 speed manual gearbox, Which was in my opinion, the main difference between me and @MrWaflz55 at Le mans in his 458, you can only do so much against a dual clutch auto with a stick shift.
It’s huge rear tyres did cause some understeer which did catch some of us out, most notably @Nismonath5 when he got a little too confident.
Once you got used to it, it was a capable machine, just not as capable as the T/A or ACR versions.
It’s not exactly a sleeper in the traditional sense as it’s about as subtle as a pink tank blasting YMCA from its PA system.
But that’s what made the Viper so good, You don’t buy a Viper for subtleness, you buy it because it’s a 10 cylinder flip of the bird to political or environmental correctness.
And it just happens to be fast too.
You’ll be missed Dodge Viper, but thanks for the good times you showed us all.
Verdict: Icon 👍
I’ll do a quick summary on the Brit in a V8 Tuxedo, the budget turbo drifty boi and Maserati’s take on GTS.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Nicely balanced, fun and agile(if slightly softly sprung). Verdict: Sleeper 👍
Nissan Silvia S13, A solid base for either drifting or N2-300 racing and doesn’t break the bank. Verdict: Sleeper 👍
Maserati GranTurismo S, Beauty of an engine, could benefit from shorter gearing and little weight loss or as mentioned above, a Gr,4 version.
Verdict: Neutral
