I also prefer the Nissan R92CP. It has an awesome sound as is insane fast too. Most people with the Minolta are those who have only won it and aren't good or patient enough to buy better cars. These are generally people not on this forum.

Nissan looks and sounds cooler, but I haven't actually driven one. But I'd say I like the look of the R89C more. 8)

Really? I thought the R89C and the Jaguar XJR-9 look like a fridge lol. Each to his own I guess.

Default settings the Nissan is better but costs >Cr 4M
But the Toyota is free.....
It weighs less and has more BHP than the Nissan after tuning them both.
B spec.
B-spec offline with tuned cars, you select the Toyota over the Nissan for easier win.
If you doing B- spec online, (after Psn back up) you want the PS3 AI to give you the Nissan as offen as possible. The Sauber driver will not be the fastest car then.

B Spec online I engaged in an epic battle with a Nissan R92CP with my guy in a Minolta. They constantly exchanged positions, but the Nissan came out on top, albeit barely.
I have the Minolta, and it's a blast. 6 gears is pretty useful. Still waiting for the Nissan to show up in the UCD.

If you search for Toyota Minolta on Wikipedia, you don't get anything.
But if you search for Toyota 88C on Wikipedia, you can find this piece of text:
If you search for "Minolta" in Google, you find a company making cameras and various other similar devices/etc.
And you can clearly see "88C-V" in this piece of text:
In addition, if you search "Toyota 88C-V" from Google's picture search, you can find this image:
This is clearly the same car as in GraphiteGB's post.
Conclusion: The 88C-V is a race car made by Toyota, and they were mainly sponsored by Minolta at the time when the 88C-V was raced (thus the nickname).
I proved you wrong just as you asked.

And what do you find? Whole loads of GT-related threads, articles, videos and pictures - and I do know that "Minolta" is a very common nickname for the car.
Before you post against me - acknowledge that I know that Minolta is a common name for the car when talking GT - and I'm saying that 88C-V is the "real" name of the car.

Oh, right
From what I've seen - and I've driven both of them - IMO they are quite much the same (extremely hard to control) - and after all, it's just my opinion (I don't like wasting 4mil on a car that is extremely hard to control (and on top of it all, I'm bad at driving and I'm even driving with a DS3)).
sorry for this extremely badly written post, so I'll give you a TL;DR: I strongly dislike wasting alot of money on a car that I can't drive without aids.

Who says you can't get the R92CP for free?
*has three Nissan R92CPs thanks in part to his shiny 1992 birthday ticket*
I like the R92CP more due to personal preferences, but the Minolta is definitely faster around a track. It's 50kg lighter after all, and the 6th gear can make a difference.

That's totally fine if you don't like spending money. I guess people prefer the car which suits their driving style. As I've said I like the R92CP over the 88C-V, but I'd rather have the Sauber Mercedes C9 over both of them.

You can call it whatever you want, no one's forcing you to call it the 88C-V.
And urgh, on a car you can't drive. I hope you know the feeling :S
I found this to be a bit easier to control but a bit more understeery. Guess I'm on the Sauber side too

I think it's better to go through this with PMs and not flooding the whole thread with our off-topic conversationYeah I know what you mean.
And damn I got the name wrong.

The MINOLTA just happens to get me better lap times so it gets my vote.

I have all three too as well as the R89C... for me it's R89C > Minolta > R92CP > Sauber. The R92CP is the fastest in a straight line but you have to be even more careful with the throttle. I don't know what makes the R89C better, my lap times are just best with it. Everyone is different and these cars really are quite close so prioritize the one you think looks best I guess.
^^^Of course I'm talking about the cars in a fully tuned form. Never driven them stock.
