I never said the SRT-4 was junk. It's far from it. Actually, there are a lot of those that can smoke my Evo 8 in the quarter mile because they still had money left over for factory-warranted mods, whereas I have no money left for mods and if Mitsubishi catches any mods on my car, they void my warranty. But, put those same two cars on a twisty track and I am long gone. Still, the Dodge is an impressive machine and I have nothing but respect for it.
The turbo cars on the list...yes, you are correct, those are pretty rare. I just saw "LeBaron" and was like WTF??? This is a racing game...you can't race a LeBaron!
But, those other cars, the Oldsmobiles, the Berettas, the K-cars...I can't see any reasoning for putting those cars in the game. The only way I'd use RARE and K-CAR in the same sentence is to say "It would be rare to see a K-car still able to operate on the roads with a vaild state inspection sticker." This may be nit-picking but you'd have to pay a programmer to model those things, get the driving physics right, and for what? So a few enthusiasts who own those cars can say "My car is in GT5!"??? Would you actually race the thing? Do you race the 1887 Daimler Motor Wagen? That thing might win against some of those on my list.
I will concede to the fact that there are already a ton of very slow and pointless cars in the game, most of them Japanese and us Americans have never heard of them except for this game. I'd like to see more meaningful and historic cars in the game rather than the cars I listed. And a lot of the cars I want to see are already on the list. The list is very comprehensive, I'll give it that!
If I am to be known as the first to bash the wishlist, oh well. It had to happen some time.
And thanks for the info on the new PS3. That's some serious power in that thing, if it turns out to be true. I seriously have NOT read anything about it because a lot of it is still speculation. I am a newly-converted PS2 guy, got mine for Christmas and now I'm addicted. I'm not sure how I held out with the Xbox for so long.
Anyway, hope this makes you feel a little better.
Peace.
