Too sluggish off the line, and so far seems to be the least competitive of the five. If I had to do the update again, I'd prolly go camaro. It wasn't my favorite, but competitive enough and the added bonus of completing its series for 50G less if I ever wanted to bother.

Another thing about the gt4s, and I noticed this with the gt3s as well, is the stats are a bit misleading in comparison to each other. While the merc statistically has the worst grip, its sluggish acceleration (which is statistically middle of the road, but seems like the worst) and stiff turning radius actually made it seem like the grippiest. On the other hand the aston has better grip, but if you lose it the skid is by far the worst of them. And with its better acceleration, it's far easier to skid than the others. I think that's the thing that bugs me about the stats in this game is they don't really take into account the "hidden" relation between acceleration and grip... The Aston's good grip is actually taken from downforce grip. If you're too slow to turn, you skid very hard. And there's is also the top speed factor. The Aston doesn't have the top speed to prevent it from skidding at the wrong time.
