        As a kid, the AWD made it so much more forgiving. And once you did all of the weight reductions and upgrades, it could decimate just about anything.

        It led to my buying a beat up old '94 black 3000 GT a few years back for $900(!!!) to fulfill the childhood fantasy. Not a VR4 sadly and it only survived a few months, but what a glorious few months they were.

        I always struggled with Vipers. Still do, really, in more-modern sims. Shelby Cobras are similarly unwieldy (but fun).

          It was tricky to drive, but much easier unmodded. It also just shredded that particular race, which IIRC is the most lucrative in the game

      The Toyota 3000GT is also really effective. My friend and I used to play this religiously back when it was new. I used the GTO, him the 3000GT. We’d spend hours doing custom tuning and testing before saving our cars to memory cards and hanging out to race.
