Just some crap i put together you know.:sly: and an idea for a competition for people whom have GT2. Pikes Peak Challenge!!!!! w00t
 
Crazy talk!

In all seriousness, that is very astonishing. The Vitara/Escudo/Sidekick seems so cute and cuddly now when compared to the Pike's Peak car, as well as the Cultus.

Words fail me.
 
:lol: I've worked on a few Suzuki Sidekicks. First time I was boggled...I was trying to do an oil change or something on it but I couldn't figure out how to open the hood! A guy who works with me told me: look in the glove box. Sure enough, there the hood lever was....in the GLOVE BOX! :confused:

By the time they built the Escudo they managed to get the nessesary power out of one engine. All the current cars have one engine. I think the Cultus had two because they were so small. 1.5 or somethin weren't they?
 
I think i should start a daily race series called "Pikes Peak Challenge" with group c, b and a cars which include the pikes peak cultus and escudo. Just a thought
 
Then shouldn't it be something more like "Extreme Race Car Challenge"? I don't know, but "Pike's Peak Challenge" seems to imply that all participants must be rally-worthy.

However, in GT4, the Toyota 7 can...

Offtopic: I wonder if there's any other car that could possibly beat the Escudo or Cultus on the Pike's Peak (of course I mean the AI Escudo and Cultus). Using the FTO LM I could beat Cultus:

Unfortunately Group C rally cars were never made and there isn't very many Group Bs on GT2. In fact I think its only the Delta S4. But one could tune up an RS200 I suppose.
 
Well pose the question and see what you get. I'd do it. I've been looking for an excuse to whack the old GT2 on again.
 
Back to the original train of thought. The '99 Celica rally car. They could of made that into a GT4 super rally car?
 
I miss the other mini coopers, muscle cars(especially the challenger and gt500), aston martin db6, many kei cars, v6 golf, ford focus (my aunts car, the 128hp one), and many more.
