What is the best GT3 car in Gran Turismo 6?

[HamOnRye]

It does, but I don't think he understands that in real life, cars fit into regulations. I don't even think he knows about respectable racing, or racing itself.

Just wait until he enters a full on GT3 lobby in his Quattro...

I hate to spoil an argument but when I entered GT3 into GT6 so many cars were eligible that I found it very difficult to tell what was what. Unless it has GT3 in title then you're basically stupid. I cannot find anywhere in game that points out exactly how to spot a Gzt3 that isn't clearly labelled.
So if somebody does name a car that is eligible for gt3 events on or offline then I think the reaction here is a little over the top. After all it's all virtual. We aren't on a grid with somebody cheating. This isn't the communities best moment considering just how many posts and the condescending nature of some.
Can't we just lighten up? I wanna know the best cars that are ELIGABLE for specific GT event. This is not me criticising everyone, more of a plea for calmer heads...

BMW Z4 is the best GT3 Car specified by PP

Regulations set at 552bhp 1350kg, i feel the SLS would be the best in this situation.

This thread seems pretty dead now . But in answer to OP's question , my favourite GT3 would be the RJN Nissan.

All down to preference .

as of today, I'd say anything BUT the Z4. It sucks. It's just horrible. My 25th car and well, the very first one I regret to buy.
Horrible handling
Horrible acceleration
Not that stable either
Takes an hour to get out of that grass, as 1st shift is hella long to start pushing

A the end of the day, my 628pp's stock Aventador is definitely better on all aspects, and well, if I fail to control it, at least I won't drop from 3rd position to 16th just by trying to get back on track... >_<
