I've added a lock this time. 
The other thread was well done and recieved many good responses. This new thread is on the same subject and would only encourage short, non-quality responses (often by the same people expressing the same opinions as before).
After seeing that Duke said he would try to fix the situation...
I've re-opened the thread and merged it with the previous thread.
Now you've got one thread and it has a poll.
Good luck with the topic and have fun!

I rather do the roadcar path. Like other people said I dont want to connect dots. I just want to drive and have fun with forgivedness. I always cringe when I see a race that I need to use an 800hp LM car. I always wished that Gran Turismo would sense the car your entering a race with and make a challenge from that, like choosing AI cars based on what you enter with. I think it would be a little bit harder for overkill races.
EDIT: Also to add I dont like the feel of the LM and super handling cars in the game. The handling seems so fake and maybe a tad too exaggerated. That may just be my opinion though.

You missed an option: rally cars. I might have been the only person who voted for rally cars but oh well. I voted for race cars since thats the closest thing.

I tend to like racecars a lot more than stock road or slightly modified cars.
I think Heavily modified cares and racecars is what racing is about, I dont feel racing if I drive a Honda Civic around the La Sarthe circuit. Racing is about speed, and since GT is a racing/tuning game I'll also use fast cars.
IMO in my opinion cars start to be interesting race cars with a power to weight ratio of 3.xxx.
And there is also the fact that I can drive every day roadcars, but I wont be able to even touch, forget drive a 88 Jaguar XJR at La Sarthe, and Video games do exist only to give the chance of doing things you cannot do in real live, standart road cars are not part of this.

I second that - GT1 cars Own! Maserati Mc12 is the best car in the world 👍
I voted for Class C because they're well fun, fast, close, exciting and i voted for touring cars also because they're fast and handle well.

From what i see,a lot of people really do like road cars and some like to drive race cars.I prefer both.I just cant decide which i like best.Both are fun and exciting to drive.Like for instance,if it was a race car,i could race in a circuit at break neck speed and have a sense of feeling that im racing like Fernando Alonso (i hate Michael 🤬 Schumacher lol 
)and if it was a road car,I could driving along Nurburgring north loop and enjoy the scenery or just get the feel of driving a real car.But if i had to choose one,ill pick road cars any day.Its much cheaper than a race car,and also you could tune it just for that extra power and also that you could do more with a road car than a race car.For example,in real life you could drive a road car on the street and tune it and it still considered a street-legal road car (unless you tuned it too far...) but a race car can't drive on the street and can only be driven on the race track.

It depends. I voted both because I like basically every car in the game. It just depends what mood I'm in to see which kind I'm going to drive. I personally like taking an MR2 Spyder or an NSX around Suzuka, or taking a ridiculously powerful car around the Nurburgring and seeing if I can stay on the track. I drive all kinds of cars. The only car I really don't like is the stock Cadillac Cien. The shifts take FOREVER! But my 1022-hp fully modded one is lots of fun to drive (although the shifts still take forever). It's a challenge just to keep it going in a straight line!

The race cars.
Simple, yes, the road cars are great and without the road cars I wouldn't have bought the game as I feel road cars in the earlier games are what made it, you'd buy your main car and zoink it up to 900BHP then go beat the world, but in GT4 the racing cars are so exciting.
Stepping from a C9, a 2J or a TS020 into a road car just feels... Gah, not as... enjoyable, sometimes I feel I'm being held up because the car that was originally designed for 400 or whatever horsepower is trying to handle almost double that (and in some cases more), I just feel the race cars suit the circuits more in Gran Turismo. Forza's gem was it was the opposite, not many people at all wanted to race the racing cars and if anything it was a, b and s class road cars that were the better, in GT I feel the race cars edge it.

Yup defenitely race cars, this thread has shown me though why there is almost no interest in the Group C/LMP GT cars
"Stepping from a 787 B a 88C-V or a TS020 into a road car just feels...

Exactly (i just changed 2 cars cause i don,t own em yet
)

I'm one that likes both.
Race cars are nice, but a really well tuned road car is super sweet.

Stock road cars on N1's. It's challenging and fun, I almost never drive modified cars or race cars anymore.

I'm not enough of a masochist to drive on N1s, but I don't go for anything softer than S2s or R3s. I know N1s are supposedly realistic in grip, but frankly, if you're going to a track day, you aren't going to run $39 maypops from Walmart with a 100,000-mile treadwear rating on them.

I see there are quite a few who seem to like mildly modified road cars, these are my favourite too. I have a couple of Porches (okay, RUFs) and a Monaro that have just enough mods to make them interesting and which have 1,000 to 2,500kms of A spec mileage on them each, mostly the 'ring of course I usually drive them on N or S tyres, depending on my driving mood, but also an RGT that I've tried to match to Carrera Cup spec on Race tyres and spent a lot of time tuning, it is very satisfying on the other world circuits.
Maybe I am getting old, but in GT4 the race cars are a bit too full-on for me, or as others have said they are all a bit too similar in the way they drive - the modern ones at least. Mind you, in GT1 & 2 I spent weeks fine tuning the suspension & gearing of some race cars, but I guess the road cars weren't as reactive back then.

Road car all the way!! And as close to stock as possible.
I'll build my car up in order to keep up with the other cars in a series, but not to blow them away. And I'll typically avoid doing anything that will perminately alter a stock cars performance. (Weight reduction, port polish, increase displacement and engine balance)
That way I can return the car back to its stock status again.
