I have been buying as many cars as I can afford and taking every car at least once around the Nurburgring all in stock form. (IE, not doing my own modifications to the cars). I have driven hundreds of cars and hundreds of laps of the Ring and not surprisingly I came across cars that pretty much through me for a loop on how good they were. Cars that I just didn't expect anything great until I actually drove them.
Right now I can really only remember the name of one of those cars off the top of my head. I plan on posting back once I go through my garage again and get the names of the other cars that surprised me.
That car is the Alpine 110 1600S http://www.mygranturismo.net/car_sheet.php?id=28
I just love how light weight it is and how it responds to throttle input. The cars feels like it basically floats around the track and I can place it anywhere I want. To me, this car feels a lot like the NSX-R. It is a little tail happy but to me that is a good thing as I can control the direction of the car mid turn a lot easier.
So, has anyone else come across a car that they were not expecting it to be any good and then it ended up being an extremely great car?
