Somewhat good cars, but only for wall-riding. The purpose-built cars do a much better job, and I think it is because the Cultus and Escudo are sure-footed to combat the instability of dirt courses. In the meantime, the roads are more stable; therefore a car's manoeuvrability is not limited to the conditions during the race.
I haven't driven Escudos at all in gT3 or 4. From what i understand, their handling is so bad in later games, they're not as easy to race on the roads, but some peolpe still do.
Natch. GT3 is a nightmare, and the top speed is reduced when you add a turbo, oddly enough. In GT4, the rally circuits are more technical and therefore tricky, leaving little to no room for the Escudo. The Cultus would have been a better addition, but still almost as useless.
I saw someone write that about the GT-One Road Car. The loser acted like he discovered it, and chirped the Viper guys because the TS020 can take 975hp... Sickened me, I tell ya.
the Escudo is incredible, but I dont know about everybody else...the Cultus IMO has a better paintjobCultus is just the tinyiest bit more managable too. But thats in the same way that the Mclaren F1 is only a tiny bit slower in the top end than a Koenigseggsegthingy CC - still stupendously fast

I don't like either. They're good on dirt but their great acceleration gets kinda cut off. On the road their handling is terrible and they don't have a superb top speed.
Yeah I noticed that. It cuts off the final two 'gg's on my post as well.
Back vaguely on topic...Does anyone know the all-time fastest top speed ever achieved by anyone in the Excuso? Without hybrids of course.

Yeah, I hear that. They are so difficult to control on dirt - I remember being in an Excuso on Pikes Peak once and basically I wound up wallriding the whole way, I could barely control the thing. As for on the road, the fact its 4WD and got so much power going through all four wheels means that it is difficult to handle, suffers from a lot of understeer if I remember rightly?

I've done that already with the Escudo-it's really cool, but it's hard for me to keep that monster from spinin' out.![]()
I'm not sure what you mean by hybrids? I have gotten the Escudo up to 260+mph I think on the TEST Track. Turbos etc. It's been awhile since I played around with it though.
I prefer Koenignogseggseggseggggabbaseggviking simply because that's the password on one of my computers.
