VW Golf GTI V6
This one should have 204 bhp on paper, but when you buy it, it's more like 150-160 in your garage ! I bet the Poliphony boys made a mistake (as well as the BMW 528i that produces 136 bhp
). And worse still, is that (as far as I know, please correct me if I'm wrong), you can't NA-Tune it, so that you can at least emulate the real engine.....it's really a shame, because the car is really driver friendly and easy to handle, even if not the nimblest compact cars I've driven. Maybe because of the heavi(er) V6 over the front wheels. If you want sporty performance (at least in GT2), then go for the GTI V5 or GTI 1.8T, they both have 150-ish HP and they both handle a bit sharper, as they're a few kg lighter đź‘Ť
So for the Golf V6 the future looks rather blur, I'll give it a 40/100 because you can't tune it to the original 204 bhp which is really too bad
Have there been a NA tuning option, or would have the engine produced the claimed amound, then it would have recieved a much sharper 75/100 đź‘Ť
Next car: Toyota MR2 AW11 (I think......) the first generation đź‘Ť

A unique sports car in GT2. It's lightweight, and despite its age, it can kill others even though it is years older than they are. But at first it lacks power. And torque. But early on in lower races, you won't need to hop it up much.
Even tho the 240Z is rear-wheel drive, it has really excellent stability and traction, and is actually hard to drift in rallies unless you trick out the suspension and brakes.
What else? the racing scheme is really gaudy...like somebody took a bunch of primary colors and randomly splashed it everywhere.
But mostly (once you get the power up) the 240Z is a sleeper that can be made into a superstar eventually.

intakeoh hell...sorry for that
You can Edit your post, It's no Biggie!
Not in real life, My 240Z has all the whisltes and bells and puts out a high tourque 512 HP and will pin you to the seat! I've owned it for 14 years and love it, It's a real Vette Killer! 10.2 seconds in the quater and 9.5 when using NOS!!!Parnelli Bone

Wow, that's a beauty you've got there đź‘Ť I'm no motor(engine) expert, but could those be 3 carbs? Or am I mixing things up a little bit 
?

Not to nitpick, but in real life, the 240 doesn't start out with 512 hp. It lacks power and torque like I said till you fix it up.
And the next car to rate and/or discuss: MGF VVCi 1.8

I agree, the MGF never really gets its chance to shine in faster races.
The Intrepid has many pros & cons. It is one of the only FWD cars that can be modded up past 400 hp and with full tuning will create 513! Unfortunately, it hasn't got the handling. Even with Stage 1 turbo underneath the hood, it is almost undriveable in the hands of a novice and you'll need suspension, brake, and tire upgrades early. Sport tires are barely useful once there is more than 300 horsepower. It is also heavy. And ugly. In real-life you see Intrepids, Eagle Visions, and 90's era Chrysler 300s and suddenly you know why Daimler/Chrysler started creating all those “bling” cars within the last 2 years...the Intrepid years were rather dreadful.
But on the plus side, the Intrepid is cheap, it will dominate many races if you're used to its body sway, and the race kit is so goofy. It falls under the “GT2 only” category...you'll only find Intrepids in GT2 (along with the Neon).

it can be used to win GT300 tooParnelli Bone
, by outcornering GT300 car đź‘Ť. I really like how they put front canon in R mods .Lister Storm = 60/100
Ugly car which get uglier when R moded. It has big power that make it spin much. The brake is weak, it roll much, but with big tire and above average downforce it has good cornering ability.

Renault Clio V6: 77/100
This is the hatchback from hell! With 246 HP stock, going from an engine in the back to the rear wheels below, this is a super hatch! It can shoot through the speed with little problem, thanks to the lightweight chassis and excellent grip, and it can corner real hard.
HOWEVER, there is one problem. INSTANT SNAP OVERSTEER! Whatever you do, don't turn the wheel too hard, or the car will surrender like the French! (Don't flame!) Given that it is a French car, I am not totally surprised. (Again don't flame!) It is a miracle if you can save this car from spinning in its own cloud of smoke in stock form. Try it with full engine tune!
Next Car: Daihatsu Storia X2 (IT DOES EXIST, it's in the Used lot)
