Beater or Sleeper- Car of the Week returns Dec. 29th (WE HAVE A WINNER!)

[Streeto]

why don't we do a FULLY SLAMMED CAR (ala ricer) to look ridiculous and focus on how that excessive camber really effects a car's handling! Maybe people here will realise that it's pretty much useless to slam a car and appreciate the fine tuning in life
I NOMINATE A FULLY SLAMMED HONDA CIVIC! (least ride height + most camber + hardest suspension settings)

To be fair, I think the hellaflush hipsters already know their cars are useless.

We wouldn't be proving anything that people don't already know.

Also, what @McClarenDesign said.... 👍

 

[redragon95tr]

megane rs, el camino or model s

 

[syntex123]

Fiat Panda.

 

[McClarenDesign]

The El Camino seems to be a popular choice so far, as are Daihatsus.

 

[p3bucky]

The premiumized Lancia Stratos

 

[Harley45]

2010 Honda Fit RS

I had a '68 with a 396 4-speed way back when, she loved to go sideways. Great fun to drive except in snow or wet!

My family had one when I was a kid. My grandmother traded it in for a '75 convertible Vette.

Now would be a good time to suggest that everyone pick up the cars that have already been nominated, just in case. I'll get a list up later, and feel free to keep the suggestions coming.

Note the title change. See what I did there?

 

[Camino]

the camino !

 

[Lewis_Hamilton_]

How about that little Daihatsu Mira that somehow can be tuned to nearly 600hp? Such a fun car, loved it in GT5, handles great, and now in GT6 leaves Zondas, Vettes, Lambo's and all in the dust on the straights.

Haven't seen it yet, but now you've got me curious. Looks like I'll need to pick one up tonight.

There's stiil plenty of time left for submissions.

Daihatsu Mira for sure. Was doing well over 300mph with it on Route X while drafting an X1. It was hilarious.

I used this a lot in GT4.

'83 toyota corolla!

 

[XDesperado67]

I know I already posted a suggestion, but I'd like to make another.
Daihatsu Storia X4 '00
Absolutely fantastic to drive and can run 400-500PP no problems.

For the inaugural car, it's no problem. I'll update the OP with that and the other new additions when I get home. Daihatsu seems to be a popular choice, along with the El Camino.

 

[XDesperado67]

The Daihatsu's are cheap, so easy to get into early in the game. The fact that they can be upgraded into monster killer's adds to the fun of driving them.

@kyoo you might be interested in my review of the '83 Corolla from GT5.

@TheGTGuy What year?

The EK 97 I think, the premium one.
