When you look back in the cockpit of the samba bus you can see every row of seats that's really cool 
Also when you brake in the cockpit of the samba bus you experience somekind of whiplash try it you'll see
The skyline r33 has one working reverse light the other one doesn't I'm not sure why.
The Ferrari california is the only premium car to stay convertible when in use.
The stealth model cars don't have fog lights the led lights just blink 4 times also some stealth cars have green lights for the Hud like a stealth jet

Yeah, your driver leans forward for some reason when you brake. I have no idea why.
I love the Samba Bus. It's not fun to drive in its stock configuration but if you tune it, it's kind of awesome. Especially lowered, with black muscle car wheels and those big bumpers from GT Auto

The VW samba bus '62 not have seat belt to save life from fatal crash but I do drove it before because I need to see fuel gauge from steer wheel complete blocked.

I'd love it even more if I didn't lose the two-tone when I paint itThe red/black combo is great but I'd prefer a slightly darker red, one that doesn't match my tomato soup
I agree that it would be nice to remain the two-tone paint and only have the lower half change colour, even though it also looks nice in one colour.
Having a choice (maybe an option to paint both the lower and upper half in different or the same colour) was perhaps too complicated for now.
It's a cool feature I reckon, indeed it has to do with having no seatbelts but I also think it has something to do with the upright position the driver takes in the Samba (the footwell being closer to the seats in this van compared to a normal car), otherwise other classic like the Fiat 500F (or the WW2 VW's) would also have this more pronounced leaning towards the windscreen when braking I guess.

Somebody asked a long time ago about the Veyron's adaptive ride height. The answer is, in fact, YES. The Veyron really does hunker down when you hit high speed. These two photos, the brown one is not moving, and the silver/yellow is doing ~240mph and both are TOTALLY stock.

Also, while watching the replay to the race from which I got those pictures, I couldn't help but notice a MASSIVE inconsistency with the standard car cockpit view that occurred.

This is the rear view from the INTERIOR in the replay. Now, in all other situations that I've been in, the standard cars exterior does not EXIST from the interior view in GT5 (I've posted photos illustrating this somewhere before now) but for some reason, in this replay, at SSRX using two Veyrons in 2Player mode, the car can be seen from the inside. I think the key is that it's two player mode but really I have no idea.

You sure about they were ford sourced? never heard that. I know the Elan was powered by the Ford Kent with a lotus twin cam head.

So it only works with the Veyron, too? It's bizzarre.
I like it, despite the obvious quality issues.
The ride-height thing is cool, though; I wonder if downforce has a similar effect.
Ingenious execution for the comparison, too. 👍

I don't know if it's only the Veyron, but it's the only time I've seen it. I still think it's an improvement over not being able to see the exterior at all. Or are you meaning the height thing? Because the Veyron is noted for lowering its ride height automatically at high speed in real life for added stability from underfloor downforce.
It was surprisingly hard to do. The viewfinder in photomode shows the world as is 1/60th of a second AFTER the shutter gets depressed, so I had to deal with the (Surprisingly huge) distance a Veyron covers in that time. It's almost an entire car length!
so the fact they're pretty much bang on beside each other is more a miracle than anything else.
