The GT-R is fast without a doubt. It will give the Vette, Viper, 430, etc a workout. But when you can beat cars that are more powerful and lighter that are running N3 tires while you run N1, that's just ridiculous. Plus it doesn't understeer, ever.
The Ford GT (stock) is similar. It lost 300 lbs for some reason, and despite the fact that all cars have the same grip depending on tire type it corners faster than everything but the GT-R. Favoritism.
The 599 is the opposite, that car is nearly as messed up as the S7 was in GT4.

I'm not much a fan of the Citreon by GT either. I always know what gear I'm in and what gear I need to be in to make the next turn. I don't ever look the actual speedometer. That style works for me because if I get a good draft, or come up the turn slower than usaul it's easy for me to adjust my braking point that way. Not possible in the Citreon.

And you base that off........? Not the Top Gear test track? That track looks very favourable towards AWD cars that can put the power down early, like the GT-R. Then again, I base my statement off the Enzo's 'Ring time, and we all know how reliable they are.
Edit: For reference, the Enzo lapped Nürburging 4sec faster than the GT-R, and........hang on, the Enzo lapped the TG Test Track 0.7sec faster than the R35 as well.
I thought we were talking 430 Scuderia vs Enzo sorry mate......
As for R35GTR vs Enzo..... i'm a Tifosi through and through, but the performance gap between the GTR and Enzo is minimal, and the price gap however is not.

Hey!!! Watch your mouth. You're talking about my elise 111r/tuned. Do you want me to teach you a lesson the elise way? Suzuka? My elise will smoke anything you throw at it.

I don't watch the time trials for supercars... I'll check. My connection too PSN suddenly nosedived this past week, and I can't get on.
While resources like the Top Gear leader board can't be trusted, since there are too many variables between days to make comparisons work, every back-to-back test including the 599 and GT-R has the GT-R coming out almost equal (and sometimes faster) than the 599 in lap-times. The only current Ferrari that comprehensively destroys the GT-R is the F430 Scuderia. The Enzo is/was faster, but is not current, and not in the game.
Granted, in-game, the 599 is hobbled by insane amounts of wheelspin, but there's not much you can do about it... you just don't have the tactile cues in a videogame to properly modulate wheelspin... especially since PD doesn't give you the option of letting air out of the tires for more traction...
Again, the only time you can rightly say that the GT-R is well and truly over-rated in game is if PD put in the new Porsche GT2 and the GT-R still destroys it. I was thinking of the ZR1, but again, 600+ hp, front-engined rear-wheel drive, and a controller? Fat chance. The GT2, at least, will have traction.

No, I'm saying a rear-engined car has more traction on full-throttle application.
TCS helps, but all it does is slow you down, since even on the "1" setting, it cuts in too soon. You'll want it to allow at least a little wheel slip for maximum acceleration.

I detest the Citroen by GT. Sure it's fast, but only one gear? C'mon guys. Add that to the utter lack of noise and it screws me up big time. I'm always entering turns too hot, or not hot enough. I want 6 gears and a V-8! The other car that's utterly pointless is the Daihatsu OFC. That thing could get outgunned by my 5hp lawnmower. Pathetic waste of manpower.

every Daihatsu and every Suzuki...
Oh and the TVR, and the other slow cars that aren't meant for racing.
The BMW's are also in my hate list.

I agree, but the minute we buy something for the cars in the full games, they turn into a far more unrealistic algorythm then when they're stock cars.
Personally I don't care about that, I enjoy the game, real or not.
I base my worst cars on how I find them to drive. The OFC might be crap, but the GTLM and the Citröen by GT are by my view impossible to get right, the OFC and suzuki are just boring.

I can't believe the hate on the 599 and Ford GT. They BOTH have huge, elastic torque delivery, the Ford has huge grip out of slow corners and can be driven on the throttle through the faster sweepers, and the 599 is incredible mid-corner, and has excellent brakes.
The GTR? It's just plain dull, sounds like a big vacuum cleaner and is not at all challenging to drive.

Not really, once speeds get over 100 mph the GT-R gets left behind by the 599.

Sure, the GT-R is faster to 60, which gives the advantage on short tracks, but once you get to power tracks like La Sarthe & Nuerburgring. I wouldn't be so sure. See the current Automobile mag for trap speeds between the GT2 & the Nissan.
"Up the hill from Bergwerk, it's necessary to brake for a left-hand kink that is a touch damp, but the GT2 still manages to hit 148 mph before braking for the next bend. The GT-R doesn't need anything like the same lift but can reach only 140 mph at the same point. This is what the GT2 does so well - relentlessly shrink the straight stretches between the turns. On the main straight, it reaches 181 mph (by which time the speedometer is well into the 190s), whereas the GT-R is all done at 168 mph."
As you can see, torque & horsepower is nice when you're on the longer tracks.

Yeah I know, the quote from Automobile magazine was taken at the Nurburgring.

Indeed, price difference is huge and performance is not. I'd rather take the ZR1 over either though, faster than both for much less than the Enzo still.
The TVRs? The other cars not meant for racing? I hope you're not implying the TVRs aren't meant for racing. They might not be the fastest (IMO they understeer quite a lot strangely in the game, I don't know if that's true to life), but they are certainly intended for racing.
