Live4speed and McLaren are perhaps two of the ones I've respected most on GTPlanet, and in this form, it's no different. I always play the alternative games. If supercars are what draws a majority of gamers to racing games, then why don't you give the existing cars a little racing? Give them a little love. I think the Dodge Viper is more of an exotic than a supercar. There's one thing you have to love about the Spykers- they are pretty quick. They look completely decent with some nice racing models. I'd re-reread Post #301 (Live4Speed) about supercars in GT4, because there are a great number of exotics and supercars. It isn't like every other GT car is some Kei or a "grocery getter." The number of sports cars in Forza probably outweighs GT4. Then again, who cares when there are a number of vehicles to all sorts of gamers. What about the ones who want to modify their daily driver (granted it's in a GT game) and mod it up to levels and performance far beyond real life? I wished the Scion tC was in GT4, because it would have been my little touring car in GT4. We'll probably see if it will be in the online-enabled GT4.
McLaren has some good names as well. I don't know how difficult it is to get Koenigsegg into a GT game, but they make wicked automobiles. I can recall racing those Koenigseggs that look like Ferrari Testarossas that pack over 1,000hp. Sounds like fun, huh? More information on Koenigsegg: {

They are based in Riviera Beach If I'm not mistaken, the Mosler MT900 was the first-ever supercar to be designed from computer renderings. These American beasts are probably one of the most underrated sports car companies in America other than Panoz. They have competed in FIA GT, Grand-Am (pre-Daytona Prototype or post-Daytona Prototype?), British GT, Spanish GT, the Bathurst 24 Hour race, and even JGTC/Super GT among others. They are solid sports cars, even if not as lustful of American cars as the Saleen S7. Here's their website: {
http://www.moslerauto.com/ }. If you were born in 1989, you were born the same year as Panoz was founded. This company has competed in a number of sportscar racing series and even builds chasses for American open-wheel racing series like the IRL. They have created four different masterpieces: the Panoz Esperante, Panoz Esperante GT1, the hybrid Panoz Q9, and the Panoz LMP Roadster. All the ones I've noted carry the same front-engine/rear-drive configuration. The Panoz LMP Roadster was just about the only car to take it to the Audi R8. Their latest weapon is likely heading to Le Mans this June, the Panoz GTLM. Their website: {

Use the Internet, my friends. ^_^ Never know what you'll find. Anyhow, that's why I say that there are alternatives if you love supercars and sports cars. Many of them can still perform even if not many people heard of the companies I mentioned. To still want Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini from all these different names when there are many different companies to scratch that supercar itch is fradulent and ridiculous. Learn to be open-minded.
UPDATE: I learned it's Laraki
Fulgura, not Fulgara.
