Ford is easy to drive straight out the box, I'll give you that, that makes it easy to go fast quite quickly. It's not the fastest GTR3 though, I'm faster in the Audi, RUF, Z4 and McLaren depending on the circuit and I actually dislike the Ford. Also, there is a lot to do with base setup and how well individuals can setup a car. Someone quite intelligent (for them, they know who they are!), once said, people will always complain a certain car from a certain class, is overpowered, until someone goes faster in a different car, then that car will suddenly be overpowered.
If the Ford is seen as being no quicker than the other GTR3 cars, then why is it not included in this competition? http://game.raceroom.com/competitions/579/leaderboard
