So after having FM3 since the release I find myself doing less racing and more upgrading cars for fun.
So I propose your list your 5 favourite cars from your garage and why others should build themselves one.

Mine are (in no particular order):

Nissan Fairlady Z with 449bhp R34 engine - Driving this car on Fumiji Kaido is insane and something everybody should try. (I definitely didn't make this after watching hillclimb videos on youtube boxedin)

Saleen Mustang - 750bhp, huge V8 and a supercharger whine, do I need to go on?

Renault Clio - The online races are so much fun it's unreal everyone should have one just incase!

Radical - The way the thing moves and swaps direction is beyond words.

Holden W427 - I completed my first PH championship in it and it sounds good, goes well and is suprisingly controllable on the limit.

Over to you! smile

Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera. Not the fastest by any stretch, but gloriously controllable.

Sierra Cosworth - it just handles so well, a true joy.

Mercedes 190E Cosworth - Sounds and looks amazing and also very capable

Renault 5 Turbo - peppy and powerful, coupled with exceptional handling ability. A joy on the Rallye Positano.

Lancia Delta Integrale - perfectly weighted and with stunning good looks.

Mazda Miata - Wonderful handling, like throwing my car round a computer game race track.

I'm going to be horribly predictable hehe

'67 Corvette, I can drift, race and drag it quite happily. Oh and who can say no to a 7L V8
C6 Z06, one of my few cars that I can win races in and funnily enough that has a 7L V8.
RX7 FC, one of the few drift cars that I'm competative with Gareth in drifting.
C3 ZR1, It handles great, it's quick and it sounds amazing.

The three Corvettes are nothing to do with my obsession (maybe a little) it's just the way I have tuned them I'm pretty good in them smile

Honda Jazz in rear wheel drive drift spec with the S2000 engine - what an absolute beast!!!

BMW E92 M3 - kind of my eleanor in this game, have yet to drive a tune that turns it into the truly effective weapon I believe it can be, either at B500 or A600. Broadspeed has come closest so far!!!

So many more but I cba to type them all out!! frown

Ahh so your the George that Gareth mentioned when (insert person's name whom I have forgotten here) turned up in one the other night when we went drifting, also the one that was on GTA last night? no?

I've got one of them with an S2000 engine too and they are just ridiculous biggrin

In addition to mentioning the Miata;

My A600 TVR Tuscan that I raced in the Coupe championship, I really love the way I've tuned it as it's very "feely"... I know this doesn't really translate properly through a console gaming pad, but it really is.

I'm getting quite attatched to the R3 750 Sagaris ready and waiting for the for the Exotics Championship however I get the feeling that the racing could get quite lonely. When the Sag behaves it can just about keep up with the front, however lose your nerve for a second and you're riding in fastest gravel spin dryer known to man.

STOCK Mazda Rx7 FD, because one day, I will own one. (yeah, you heard me George!)

The Corvette C6 Racecar (The one with a skull on it). Racing that thing for 2 hours at a time in the Endurance Championship. The V8 chorus, the efficiency of the engine requiring only 1/2 stop/s compared to everyone elses 2/3. The way it was almost unmanageable on cold tires.
