GT5 is great but it has a lot of shit I don't like.

Should be more car customization, the B-Spec is complete garbage, the AI needs to be improved, etc. 

Other than that its great though.

In what aspect it should be improved?. It's to be noticed that the AI isn't the same for every event.

During the Extreme events and Endurance events, i've seen some of the best examples of race AI in any simulator, especially in the NASCAR event, where they use drafting in very creative ways, even going out of the way to draft behind cars that purportedly break out of the optimal racing line. 

I've also encountered some very creative over-taking. In the Super GT cup, racing with a MOBIL NSX, I had an A.I Garaiya JGTC car brake much too late into the spoon to get out much faster than my car and then after he overtook me, he defended the place instead of continuing to follow the optimal race line.

But in contrast, there are events where the A.I is virtually non-existent. Licenses and Special Events that make you go from last to first place in one-two laps have scripted, tank-like A.I, with the added aggravation of the immediate disqualification should any forceful contact happen between your car and the A.I cars, even if it's the A.I car contacting you from behind are the prime example of this.
