Have you got yours yet bird
Yes!  It's the most fun car I've ever had, a real joy to drive.  I can strongly recommend you guys get one, too.
...then we can hit the tracks together and re-create these races :D

 Saw one the other day, looks pretty cool. Does it feel like it has power, I am sure a real one would scare me on a track :) ,  or did it just feel gutless in game, because umm its a game with no sense of speed ? and its a road car at heart ?  I am just interested how AC feels compared to real one

AC feels dull compared :)
The things is very lively, precise and turns very well - and I'm using the factory tyres, which are poo-poo'ed all over the interwebs. 
It does drive like in AC, and loves to corner with throttle, so AC is fairly realistic, but you don't get the same feeling.

It's not a powerhouse, but it's enough for starters.   You can do donuts if that's your heart's desire :)

Those complaining, I reckon, are mostly young ones who want to win street drags with their sport cars against XR6 turbos or v8s.  That won't happen.
I've seen people installing stupidly huge wheels and at the same time complaining about lack of acceleration.  Hello, you idiot, you just gave a good chunk of it away!

But hey;
- you can install a header + tune + use E85 fuel, and get a ~30 whp extra out of it, which is plenty enough, and this isn't a very expensive option.   
- or you can throw on a supercharger or a turbo (there are bolt-on superchargers available!) And get a lot of extra. (this is more expensive, though)

So really, it's just a question of money...for the $30k price this is a lot of fun and a lot of car IMO (although I maybe slightly biased here, hehe)



Edit: Crimespree has done a few mods to it, and has his car modeled in-game, you can try it, check here for the d/l link:

It must be very exciting to drive that one IRL !

Geez, you were flying at the start!

How many TV's do you watch at once? :)

Another great vid. Thanks.

Hehe I had a good run and decided to take it and put some trust in me and the others, needed all those angles to see how it was possible there was no contact as it looked rather tight and sketchy at the time.

I kind of got a shock as there was no contact reported especially when many other races I have had a few but can barely remember any of them as they must all have been very light rubs.

Good no nonsense comparison video. I like it. It looks like the car scores well on the fun-per-$ scale.

Yes! Thank you, Lord!

XGN Assetto Corsa community, pray with me:

Our Father in YouTube,
hallowed be your cat.
Your simulator come,
your will be done,
on offline sessions, as it is in multiplayer.
Give us this day our daily teaser,
and forgive us our crashes,
as minorating has also forgiven our wreckers.
And lead us not into the gravel,
but deliver to us version 1.6.
