Three three most important cars in the game are:

Nissan GT-R: You can buy this car at level 13 or something for a little over 100,000 credits. Fully modified this is an 800HP beast for 250,000 credits. Although it's only 600PP or something, I This can has no problem racing against 800PP cars, no wonder with how much support Nissan gives PD.

Corvette ZR1: You can buy this car at level 19, and do racing modifications at level 21 (I think). With the modifications the price of this car will be like 650K. I believe I used this or the Nissan to win the Dream Car Cup. If you are having trouble keeping up with the 800HP race cars, increase your downforce to maximum settings, and change your gearing for more acceleration. It's initially set up for high speed, but on stock settings you will rarely use the final gear, so just tighten the gear ratio.

Formula Gran Turismo: You need this to beat a lot of the Extreme or Endurance Cup races. This is basically the fastest car in the game after that Red Bull Concept. You can buy it at the used car dealership for up to 5,000,000 credits. Yea it's a lot, but this will win you everything, and is a blast to drive. Prices go down based on the mileage on the engine, and you won't see the car in a used car dealership until you're level 25.

You can basically beat the entire game with those three cars. Other specialty cup races like German and Italian, you can use car you unlocked in B-Spec (price cars are more suited).

If there is any specific cup you have trouble on Message me. I know a lot about cars, so this stuff in GT5 comes naturally to me.


is that the only place to buy the Formula gran turismo

This man nailed it with those two cars!

Those two are my most used and favorites!!!!

I too use my Corvette all the time and the GT-R is just sweet as to drive!

i have always used my stealth model McClarin that i got for pre-ordering the game (its like 637 PP)

Yes, but once you are level 25 it comes into the used car dealership quite frequently.

  I forgot the Corvette ZR1... I used it with racing modifications and some customs before got the Toyota Minolta .

That Toyota is no fun, I just stuck with the ZR1 most of the game.

To be honest, the best car in the game is the Pagani Zonda R. You win it in a B-Spec race (I think Dream Cup as well lol), and damn...you can't beat cornering in a mid engined superbeast like that, especially with GT5's engine.

Zonda R is so harder to drive... there are tracks I just can't win with Zonda... Minolta saved me everytime (even the first endurance)

I don't mean to bring Forza into this, but after you race in a Flying Lizard Porsche GT2 (rear engine) on Nurburging in a 1 hour endurance race, and your tires wear out after a single lap, then anything which handles better is a breeze.

However that Pagani has way too much torque, you definatly need a wheel to steer it.
