To me it's pretty hard to determine which would be "The fastest ROAD car in GT4". But i got many fav cars and out of no where, think the GTSR- Concept is one of my fav fast stock road cars. I just love the 1st gear which takes u to 70mph and chops its tires on 2nd. Awesome car, yet i rarly get on it but its a cool car. My Supra can run an 9.2s in the 1/4 mile. Rarly dont care how fast a car can go but how fast it can accelerate. 👍
here r the top road cars when modded:VW Nardo
R390 GT1
Ford GT '05
Saleen S7
Jaguar XJ220
Zonda C12 S 7.3
Mercedes SLR
TVR Speed 12
Dodge Viper SRT 10
Cizeta Moroder v16t (its v16 wow)
Cadillac Cien
*sigh* where is the corvette c6? the vector m12's(they were the closest thing 2 lambos in gt2)

Toyota Supra = 292.7MPH.

skylines are one of my favorite cars but i dont think they are the best road cars. and to the guy who said a saleen s7, i think those are crap. they cant hook up, and they cant even handle that good, waste of money in my opinion

I don't think the GTSR concept is a road car.
and the Saleen S7 is a monster. It handles great for a supercar.

I have to admit that I don't generally care much about top speed.
However, I've heard of people getting insanely fast times in the 1/4 mile with the Impreza spec C. Perhaps that's solely because of it's acceleration characteristics and it doesn't actually have much top end, but I thought someone here might want to check it out.
FWIW - Pure stock, the Nardo and the Speed 12 are the fastest cars I've used. I drag 'em out for high points whenever a Test Track race comes up.

dont say his driving sucks ass because you use the TCS with the Speed 12, and he wasnt was he? anyway youre just biased towards TVR because its British, and guess where you are? Great Britain. and its pretty funny reading you defending it when people say its too overpowered and wheelspins too much which it does.
you said there is nothing wrong with driving assists but if youre going to say people suk when they have trouble driving a high powered car without TCS and you drive with TCS, dont you think its a bit unfair for you to say that?
live4speed
you think the SLR Mclaren which does 0-100kmh in 3.6 seconds and 0-200km/h in just 5.6 oh yeah, thats STOCK and you think its not fast enough? WTF? i would say about 95 out of 100 people would choose the SLR to race with anyday, including me, it sounds better, it looks better, it handles better and is nowhere near as much of a handful to drive. yes they are strong statements but im sure its what most people think.
now live4speed is probably going to have a go at me for being a crap driver because i dont like the Speed 12

First of all, if you have TCS available and the car is wheelspinning too damn much and you don't use the TCS, don't complain about the car. Thats you're own problem for thinking the TCS makes you a worse driver in some way. I know the Speed 12 is extreme which is why I repeatedly say it's not for everone, and the fact that it' British has nothing to do with the fact that TVR are my fave sports car company, do some research on me and my why I like TVR's and come back. I can drive the Speed 12 without TCS, as I said as well, but thats not getting the best out of the car. You clearly missed my point here, which was, that by deliberately handicapping the car ie giving it worse tyres, no TCS and THEN complaining that an 800+Bhp RWD supercar wheelspins too much is stupid. Leave the tyres it comes with on, give it a low level of TCS to help with launch and if you can control it, you'll fly round a track, you don't even have to give it TCS to get it to lap stupidly fast, it just gives you the ability to make then a little faster in the case of the 12.
Liking or disliking any car does not make you a good or bad driver, however not being able to drive a fast car fast, does have some sort of implication believe it or not. Not only that, but the "you're driving sucks ass" comment was tounge in cheek, it was to make a point that driving a fast car badly doesn't mean the car is crap.
Secondly I don't like being mis-quoted, you've taken parts from one of my posts and ignored other posts to suit you're point or out of lazyness, which is wrong.
I also never ONCE have said the SLR is too slow, i never even mentioned it's speed or acceleration. You quoted what I said, and did I say it was slow, or too slow, or a poor car?. I said it was a pus$y cat in COMPARISON, see that there in capitals is the key word.

I haven't compared lap times, but I doubt I could do sub 7 min laps at the Ring in the SLR. It's a damn nice car, and I like it but I was talking about behaviour, in comparison to the 12 it's well behaived on track, the 12 can be all over, arse out and everything without you wanting it to be. The SLR is much more managable.

well for a road car, the speed 12 is not very good.
how are people meant to go get the kids from school in a speed 12.
bvecause if it is uncontrolable with N#tires, then its not very good for a road car is it. then look at the mazda2, that doesnt need tcs or racing tires to be controllable. does it.
because ON A ROAD, you cant use slicks, or sports tires, you HAve to use radials, like N2, N3 or,, N1., because its designed for a PUBLIC road

This post is lacking in something. Oh yes, a point. The speed 12 on radials going down to the school would still crush the Mazda. Why because it is an 800hp monster. And many high horsepower cars come with Traction Control. The Pagani Zonda does. Why? Because it has such power that the wheels can spin for long periods of time. So what is the big deal about using TCS in the game to control your supercar?

The Speed 12 could cane a WRX on the road, it accelerates faster, corners faster and goes faster, I could see a WRX getting an advantage if it as in the wet. Also, the Speed 12 in real life runs a very different diff and has more downforce than the one in GT4, it's also MORE powerful in real life than in GT4. Ontop of that, the tyres it wears for the road are not you're basic family car tyre, they're performance tyres which are road legal which is represented by the choice of tyre it comes with in GT4. As for the 12's performance on the road, thats not where it counts for this car. It wasn't designed to drive well on the road, it was designed to homologate a GT1 racer and beat the McLaren F1's top speed, thoes were the only 2 goals TVR had for the 12. As for TVS, thats true, it doesn't have TCS in real life, but then not much else about the car in GT4 is exactley asit is in real life, and it comes with the car in GT4. Using TCS does not prevent a car from being stock in GT4, they ALL come with it, it's only benficial on some of the more higher powered, extreme cars though.
