Project gotham 3 - your favourite car?

Zardon · Jan 4, 2006, 10:26 AM

Those of you lucky enough to own PGR3 on the xbox 360 can hopefully contribute to this.

What is your favourite car to use in the game? Personally I know everyone loves the Ferrari F50 GT and it seems to be the car to get the highest times on most tracks with but I havent totally mastered it yet as the car tends to powerslide even on the lightest of acceleration trigger movements.

My favourite for handling would be the lotus elise GT1 however it tends to be a little underpowered online. I also like the mercedes CLK GTR supersport as it also has great handling....

Your views?

After a short time with it tonight, it has to be the ferrari f430. light, agile, fast and controllable - fits my driving style well.

yeah good car although you will find its underpowered later and especially on the harder courses on higher levels. You should give the ferrari enzo a shot as well its quite similar to F430 just more powerful and faster from 0-150.

I actually thought I was pretty good at this game until I went online a few days ago.......these kids must spend weeks (not working) learning all the lines and speeds, gears etc!

Had a quick go of the Enzo on a custom track in London and yes I agree - much more powerfull. Really easy to lose the back end

lol wait until you get enough (1,300,000) to get the ferrari F50 GT. first time I drove that I spent more time doing 360s than racing

That and the mclaren are the most powerful cars in the game. Im not really good enough to do well with them, I stick with the lotus elise GT1, its quite fast (around 200 mph) with very good acceleration and has probably the best brakes in the game, so you can take the corners later than most. It was good last night embarassing a few of the plums on headsets shouting and driving the F50s on some of the more turn based tracks, but once they get you on the straights, you are nailed

Damn this thread just wants me to head in town and buy a 360.... There are still so many here!

And PGR3 does look amazing (my kinda racing... drifting

)

Well I've only played with the ferrari 430 and I found that quite hard honestly...

SFOSOK · Jan 8, 2006, 10:19 PM

pr0digal jenius · Jan 9, 2006, 01:22 AM

Danhill · Jan 9, 2006, 09:11 AM

Mclaren SLR is my fav... great handling + holds speed really well round corners - best class C car by far

Although now I pretty much only use the F50GT... I used to like the mclaren clk - but it's just not as fast as the ferrari... the F50GT did take alot of getting used to though, and now I've just got back from a week in Egypt I suck with the F50GT again - lol!

tastyweat · Jan 10, 2006, 04:41 PM

I hate the Enzo lol... heh... group B cars in general I just don't seem to get on with... all other 4 groups are great... just B lol

E - Ferrari 355

D - TVR Sagaris - I also like the Challenge Stradale

C - Mercedes SLR

B - urkk - I alyed with the Enzo and it seems like the best B car - but I don't like any of them!

A - F50GT (once you get the hang of it) - CLK if you're learning

hehe
