Your "most enjoyable" car in GT3

I see that many of you enjoy driving stock cars or lightly modified ones. I do the same, I just stick better tires on them and go have a blast.

The most fun I've had have been with:

RGT, I have two, a stock and a modded one, but still kept it NA, and both of them are SO balanced that it's a bliss driving them. :D

Both tuned R34s, I don't know how I did it, but the Nismo version I tuned even more, became very hard to turn, but I learned to drift it into corners and every time I drove it, a big grin was on my face. Tokyo is the best track for that. :D

The Esprit 350 Sport is also awesome, I have only one, untuned, marvelous car. :D

The SVT Cobra is amazing, not to mention the sweet sound it makes. :D

I also have a +-700 HP Team Oreca Viper that I fine-tuned in the course of a championship, it drives like a dream. :D

A while ago I started racing single events on the Polyphony X Cup, to find cars that were able to beat it with. I tried it once with an Integra Type R on Deep Forest, got my butt kicked very hard but at least I didn't get lapped. :D
 
Mine would have to be the ARTA (Autobacs Racing Team Aguri) NSX. It isn't as fast as the JGTC Supras or Skylines, but can kick their butts in the corners. I do just about every race I can in it. 👍

The Spoon Civic Type-R is also fun, even though it needs major tuning to keep it from pushing. 13,000 RPM is insanity, pure and simple. :scared:
 
hey alfa romeo, try tuning your espirit 350. my best mate has one of them in his gt3 game with over 1000hp. i played with the suspension a bit so it turns properly and now it's one of the fastest lapping cars in the game, leaves almost all the rest of his garage for dust! huge potential :) MR is such a great high powered grip driving platform

he thinks the best car in the game is the tickford xr8 racecar, tuned to about 600hp. and for such a powerful, heavy FR car, it does handle quite well
 
so far into the game, my favorites are (note i've only driven 8 cars so far, i'm kind of a collector):

1) chevy camaro race car (red/white): amazing car, everything i could ask for, looks, speed, handling.
2) honda nsx type r (flint black metallic): sounds greats, drives greats, is great!
3) honda s2000 (imola orange pearl): zippy and smooth. one of my fav

almost favorites include:

1) acura integra type r (yellow): if it weren't for torque steer and that damn annoying rumbling, it'd definitely be up there in my favorites.
2) mini cooper 1.3i (volcano): a sleeper car, that can compete in amateur A license championhips. its a blast to drive, but still slightly a little too underpowered for me to become a fav. i only really drive it as a handicap for the challenge. =)


i've also noticed that many of you have listed the spoon s2000 as one of your favorites. do you mean the spoon s2000 or the spoon s2000 race car? i have both but haven't driven either yet, they are sitting in my garage pristine and untouched =). later when i get the spoon civic type r i'm sure it'll be a blast. i'm hoping to get the white one over the yellow.

question 1: What's best color for the spoon s2000? i think the red or black paint look sick with the black rims it comes with.

question 2: yellow or white for the spoon civic type r?

if you guys meant the regular spoon s2000, what makes it so special? when i got my s2000's (honda, mugen, spoon), i maxxed them all out and saw that the honda one had the best power to weight ratio, so chose the honda to drive out of the 3 types.

question 3: what makes the regular spoon s2000 so good?

Thanks for the tip. However, sometimes it scares me a bit to tune cars that are so nice to drive unmodded. If you could give me the tuning data you have for that modded Esprit 350 I would surely try it that way. :D

I have a Team Oreca Viper that handles like a dream. If you want, I can give you the complete tuning data for it. :D

PM me if you're interested. 👍
 
TOM`s SUPRA and ALTEZZA LM

Fully tuned these cars are great to drive
in 2-player battle!
The Supra a marginal favourite :)

Midfield Raceway + Tom`s Supra 👍
 
My best are:
GT40 Road Car stock
787B fully tuned
S2000 Race Car fully tuned
Tommy Kaira ZZII any tune

Hi and welcome to GTPlanet !!

i don't want to be overly picky or something, but I think you should briefly refise your Grammar and sentence-build, since it is fairly hard to get the point of what you said......If it wasn't for the cars, I had to ask again what you meant.

Please don't take this personal, just as a tip :)

Take care and have a nice stay,
Puricele7e
 
All the Cars are fun, but some that stand out -

A Plain Honda S2000. Theres something there that just matches my driving style perfectly.
A fully tuned Corvette ZO6 - Its so funny trying to stop it from spinning.
The Polyphony 001 when you want to blow away any competition
And any of the smaller cars such as The Vauxhall Vx220, (or Opel Speedster, Whatever) and the Motor Sport Elise.
 
I've not been playing long, but so far, I really enjoy driving my MR2 GT-S, Nismo 400R (I haven't finished tuning it, but still an amazing car), Sprinter Trueno SS Edition, Miata LS (Yeah, sure, you can't tune it with turbo, but the Miata's all run better NA tuned), and the Celica SS-II (Wow! I never imagined what a car lightly tuned to 297 HP could do until now).

Though something I've noticed about this thread is that people are talking about a car being great lightly tuned to about 350 HP. What I notice about TURBO tuned engines is that with a Stage 1 TURBO charger, you can accelerate *really* well. With all the other Engine tunings, an Impreza STi hits about that much power. It's also more effective with a Twin or Triple plate clutch and a racing flywheel. If you're a big horsepower type driver, give this formaula a shot and I guarantee you'll be impressed. This was my rally set up for GT2 (Impreza WRX-R Coupe with racing mods and full custom suspension for light tuning and adjusting to my liking).
 
I've taken a HUGE liking to the ZZII, I also quite like the Viper too.

I can name LOADS of cars which I simply like..

Skyline V-spec II (R.32)
Integra Type R (I have always liked this one, ever since GT1 (before I leanred to setup my cars myself), I always considered this and the Eclipse as the best-handling cars of GT1 as stock)
Camaro Race Car
Esprit


I havn't really been playing GT3 all this time, I'm one of those peeps who keep losing and gaining interest again and again, so I don't really get chance to test all cars. I could do, seeing as though I have only 10 Mill in the bank.
 
Hi I'm new to these forums but I'm a long time Gran Turismo fan. I love underpowered cars simply because I love the look on other players when I whoop them with my little 4 cylinder on a technical course(Must be the Takumi and Keichi Tsuchiya virus in me). The cars I love is as follows...Honda Civic TypeR(My fav), Mazda Miata MX-5(170 hp), Sprinter Trueno GT Apex, Honda S2000(ok it may not be as underpowered but still a four cylinder)
 
Oh don't forget the my favorite turbo car the 1987 Mazda RX-7 FC3S(white) haha love that car to bits. Even use in Maximum Tune :)
 
I really like Subaru Impreza 22B great handling and nice speed :) and Castrol NSX is also great but i prefer 4WD cars. :sly:
 
two mates and i were playing GT3 on saturday night, one hadn't played playstation in a while so we raced with stock Minis to make it easy. on midfield. it ended up being the most challenging and FUN racing any of us had seen in a long time

the cars have so little power (61hp in my garage) so you really need to get your race lines right so you don't scrub off too much speed. you can also really see the difference in your speeds out of corners, because the speedo moves so slowly you can pick a point and watch your km/h as you both go past it

stock mini. try it :)
 
For racing:

Toyota GT-One
Nissan R390 GT1 LM Race Car
Lexus/Altezza LM
Mazda 787B
Tom's Castrol Supra
Chevrolet Corvette C5R


For fun:

Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Nissan 300 ZX
Lotus Esprit V8 SE
Toyota Sprinter Trueno
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Dodge Viper GTS
Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept
Mazda RX-7 Savanna Infini III

There's few unique cars I don't want to drive because engine worn. I have two memorycards and if I spoil one of those cars I can't even rebuy it from other memorycard (Chrysler Viper GTS-R Team Oreca, Mazda RX8 etc. )
 
Yes there is, you have to unlock it by using a ..... Gameshark or something like that. You can also have the Lamborghini Diablo, Lancia Stratos Rally car and a Porsch e911 GT3 (996). Not sure about PAL or NTCS-J versions though 💡
 
my favorite cars seemed to progress with my time playing and skill.
starting in the arcade mode my fav. was the Denso.
In the beginner leag. the mazda miata ls
Amateur the Benz AMG
Pro: the Ruf RGT(stock) and the R390
Formula:f/094s
Ialso became enamored with all of the NSX's
 
now going back through the game in prep for GT4 i've been focusing on driving 100% stock or cars with non-bhp tuning only (ie brakes, suspension, transmission) and of course no assists. It's interesting too with the DFP how much more the game has to offer. Sure there was a learning curve from the DS2, but now i'm equalling or bettering my lap times with the wheel. In any regard, you get an appreciation for the cars on a different level, and these are some that IMHO stood out:
- NSX Type R
- Viper GTS-R Concept
- RX-8
- Vanquish
- RGT
- 400R
- Vitz RS (in pink of course ;) )
- Xsara Rally
- 206 Rally
- WRX STi
- 350Z Concept
- Elise 110

Uh...ok. Quite useless information for me due I'm from PAL-area (Finland) and I don't use cheat-devices like Gameshark...
 
I'm taking a liking to the Legacy in Arcade mode. Arcade mode because I'm the most pathetic tuner ever, so I just stick to the stock version.
