It's a great, and very fast car. Unless you have some unique dislike for it, I'd recommend using it (in general).

Need to add though, that when I won in the GT it was a dry race. Every attempt I've made since has had some rain. Pretty pissed off about that TBH lol.

I've never had a non rain race in that event.

No dislike for it, I just got used to the Camaro ZL1 if I gotta use an American car. Lol

The NOS is a bit of scam. IRL a NOS install is like $1200 maybe $2k w/labor but the NOS doesn't seem to effect PP number either... So what's the other $98k for bribing the judges? I could be wrong about the PP but it didn't seem to change when I put it on my GTR but I do get a boost if I hit the button.

Finally had a dry race. First time using the R92CP. Had a huge lead, so instead of doing another lap, I parked near the finish line and waited the 30 seconds for the timer to finish 30 minutes. LOL

The engine sound of the RX- Vision for the GT3 Cup is absolutely glorious. Paired with a medium turbo it is stupid fast.

First time I've ever rage quit on GT7. Im currently on the GR3 Cup, after the Ferrari Menu. Car is perfectly fine, If I spin because of my own stupidity because Im pushing too hard, that is fine. What gets me is that I leave plenty of space for the AI whenever I overtake, but the 1-3rd places almost always spin me out. They also brake check. It drives me insane, and because the game decides that I should start last, every time, I can only catch up almost to the last 2 laps. So I have a sense of rush and the AI knows this. Did fine the first 3 races, but the last 2, overtaking is difficult in such a tight track such as Bathurst, then driving at night at the Nurburgring is just nerve-racking. Especially when 4 cars decide to block your every move, clean race bonus is going out the window tonight.

I've never gotten a clean race bonus in that "last" menu, and I've done it (WTC800) at least 4 times. I'll try to race clean, but the second an AI does something stupid like brake check me, or try pitting me, I just stop caring if I bump them.

Yeah some of the A.I. are drivers are just rude. I think the whole starting from last thing is to make it so you have to drive super-aggressive, which is fun and exciting in a nail-biting kinda way, but sometimes I just wish for a grid-start and 10 laps (even if it means giving them more evenly matched cars) just so I could take my time and pass more appropriately.

EDIT: I mean I suppose that's what the multiplayer is for but they go through all the trouble of making a seperate arcade mode and the sim driving all realistic but then kind of an arcadey start to the race in the 'sim' mode. Grid starts and full car damage I think people would be dropping their iRacing subscriptions.
