It was in the live blog at TGS. I'll find a link of what was logged and post it. Pretty sure it was mentioned and relayed to the TGS thread too.

Oh, sorry, I misread your post and then made a erratic reply.
I see your point now, and it really isn't fair to compare it against real cars, and to be honest, it isn't fair to compare the X1 even with the LMP beasts and F1 cars, as they doesn't share the same limitations when it comes to architecture.
As the concept, yeah. The road car and race car seem less dominant, matching nicely against the 458 and GT500 (Super GT class) nicely.

While I think most people will go for Ferrari or Lamborghini, personally, the car I'll have my eye on is the Tesla Roadster. I want to see how it compares since it's been called a "super car" itself.
Only problem is that it probably won't work in endurance races!

Ditto. Perhaps the beast version in the Red Bull trailer.

It might... pit crew could maybe do like a 5min battery swap?
I do kinda wonder what the pit crew is gonna do when you pit in with a Tesla, though...

I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and say that PD is going to cram the GT by Citroen and its Racing version down everyone's throat and label it as the car that has the most WIN....
It's too bad it didn't make it into production and had a relatively ordinary V8 instead of 17 Toyota Priuses under the hood.

As far as top of the line super cars go the GTR will be a favorite with some of the less skilled drivers because it's just so easy to drive(and so, so cheap for the performance you get).
In real life it's almost too easy to drive. It doesn't feel like a supercar. It doesn't grab you by the nuts and clench you up like supercar should. Even in Prologue it just.. wasn't all that fun for me. You can't hang the back end out on it at all. It never catches you out and redirects your attention properly to the task at hand with white knuckles and tight knees.
There are quite a few rides out there that will drive laps around the thing on most any circuit. Whether I will be able to control them at that pace is another story.
For me, I'm going straight for the Cavallino Rampante. Enzo or bust.

I have the same concern as you. Why they bothered to put such a ****pile in Prologue when there are so many better options is beyond me. I'd sooner buy 10 Fiat 500's than one of those.
I only fear that because that would grind my gears to an extreme level, not because I would put money that GT5 is actually going to do that.
What an absolute rubbish excuse for a car... I wish they would have just put the v8 version in the game but that car is everything the future of supercars should avoid. Of course this is all a matter of opinion.

Yes but putting an independent rear suspension on it is a must do to turn it into a truly dominant road racer. So throw at least another 6,000 onto that price tag. Still, not a bad buy at all.

I actually read a review of someone that drove it around London once. Apparently it was really quite an unimpressive motor, very heavy clutch and quite 'mechanical' rather than what you'd expect considering it's visual appearance.

I'm pretty sure the X1 will be the fastest car in GT5 but if you class the most dominant car as the car that can be entered into and win the most races I doubt it will be this.

Has anyone noticed the Citroen gt in the gt5 replays has a manual gearbox and what sounds like an engine.?
Prologue its 1 gear and electric !!
as for the X1, if gt5 still uses PP as a performance scale chances are you won't be able to use it in much anyway like the F1 cars in prologue

I agree with you here. This isn't a car we can enter in any race. It would deem the game completely pointless. I hope that it is just something we can enter in time trials and single races. I don't want to see this thing entered in anything that progresses the career mode, unless of course it's an all X1 field. How wild would that be?

I'm not sure what could be the dominate car,but if were lucky there will be no dominant car.Instead it would come down to how well the car is tuned.
A couple of cars i would like to get my hands on and i hope they are in the game will be the Mercedes-Benz 190 Evolution and the BMW M3 E30.I've always loved those 2 cars.

I think the dominant starter will be the RX-7 Infiniti III (as it was in GT4), the car that will win the most road car races will probably be the 458 Italia and the GT-R (supercar races, manufacturer and nationality challenges will favour these cars) but for racecars, I dont think any one machine will be dominant (maybe the Audi will be the best LMP and maybe the GT500's will have an edge over the DTM's but no dominance)

I have 2 F1 cars in prologue in different shades of red with different color intake spoilers so cars is the right term.

Of course if you bought two you refer to them as plural. When you originally mentioned it you referred to it as if there was more than one model, which there isn't. Maybe I'm wrong and you were referring to the two that you bought, but that wasn't clear enough I guess.
