or is the Risi Competitzione Ferrari 458 actually the prettiest car in ALMS/GT racing currently? I know the 458 gets some hate on looks, but I think its just gorgeous in race liveries.

What do you think is the most beautiful ALMS car out there, past or present?

I believe they've run this livery in ALMS. I absolutely love the C6R with the Jake skull logos. It's the most badass car scheme I've ever seen.

I think the 458 is one of the best looking road cars out there. So it tops my list of ALMS cars as well. The SRT and Corvette also translate to race livery well.

....and sounds amazing as tits! Giuseppe is a cool dude, my boss worked for Ferrari of Houston back in those early days and helped build the team.

I agree. Typically I would argue that the porsche is the prettiest, but I HATE the gaping mouth thing they have going on for the new 991 RSR's

Kinja'd!!!

it looks dopey and cheap.

People don't like the looks of the 458? Wut?

I think it's definitely one of the best-looking Ferraris to date.

That paint scheme is downright sinister. I love it.

I think the Falken Porsche looks pretty good, but a lot of the other 911's out there have pretty tacky paint schemes

Honestly I'm impressed with Chevy every time I see that logo. It's even under the hood of the most recent ZR1 (proven below). I'm just amazed they had the balls to use a Skull logo and DAMN is it cool.

I think the 458 road car is really really ugly, but the GTE version works. It is actually really beautiful, and even the hideous front lights work well with the widened body. I would also say that it is the best looking ALMS car, closley followed by the 2012/2013 spec Falken 997 GTE.

I'm not a fan of the looks of the 458 (not a hater, just not my thing) but this is much better than the factory version. Big wing, stickers, race mirrors, racing tires, aero bits, they're all an improvement.

Never been a fan of the Z4, and I was sad when they switched over from the M3's, but the widebody Z4 GTE in race livery looks fantastic (black or white).

I'm totally in the same boat. They actually made me want a normal Z4, which is something that has never been true before.

Undoubtedly one of the most stunning cars more so in race livery. In fact, I liked it so much that I actually SPENT money in Forza to have this very car. I never purchase vehicles in my race games. +1!

I actually did too... haha. The F430 GT car just doesn't even come close.

I really liked the cars Aston Martin had at 24 Hours.
I know it's not currently racing, but the yellow fog lights look great in the center like that.

I would tend to agree with you on the looks of the ALMS 458... I would also note that it is the LOUDEST car on track as well.

It's a different kind of loud, its a shrieking, screaming sound. I found the Corvettes and Vipers to be much louder when I went to the Baltimore race. They sound like the air is tearing around them. The Porsches sounded like a vacuum.

yeah i guess its all relative to the person and the sensitivity of his or her eardrums. Those Ferraris SHREAK...
