Porsche GT3-RSR

Is the Porsche Flying Lizard cars worth a crap in R3? I didn't see much talking about them on our forums, but I thought I heard some people on XBL saying the Porsche #45/#80 get smacked around in R3...

Good car for that class?
Terrible car?
Decent car?

I believe it is one of the better cars and stock does compete very well, but because of Mosler it will get punted around.

I believe it's a bit average, and there are a decent number of non-AWD cars that can post significantly better times. Off-hand, I think the FXX and Strassenversion are better.

i always found it to be better around medium tracks where top speed isnt really much of a factor like Laguna Seca. but other than that its a decently average car, I personally perfer an FXX to any other R3 car

The Flying Lizard car is a handful to handle stock. While it can be tuned to handle pretty well, there are definitely much faster cars in the R3 class.

its a nice car but sadly outclassed completely by many others hope T10 balance out racing cars in the next game so many of them struggle to make the big name for them selves

i agree, the FXX is just such a beast.. so smooth. I think it's really the only ferrari in the game that actually represents well. maybe ferrari can give turn 10 some money in forza 4 so they don't get cornbeef on.

I would LOVE to know what kind of deal Audi/VW made with turn 10. I'm not against product placement, but it really detracts from the game when it's so blatant that a manufacturer gets special treatment.

Have you even been in a new Audi? My GF has a 2007 A6, and it is indeed superior to most cars on the road in it's class!

That may be true.

But in theory, the PI system should mean each and every car is reasonably competitive. That's why it's there. Although obviously there are cars that fill niches (such as Exiges for short tracks), the gap shouldn't be so wide that using anything that isn't AWD is almost completely pointless.

To keep this on topic, I've found slight success in the GT3 RSR. If you need a car to beat the R3 championship there's almost nothing better. MP it doesn't do so well.

that's unfortunate. I love painting on this car, have 3 different styles. maybe some time we'll get a R3 or R2 series with the Le Mans style cars, not just upgrade Vipers and the Mosler to rape all classes

i've started to play the porsches more often and i'm starting to dig them. I need to branch out more into the R3 hoppers so i can give the rsr a shot.
