Hell yeah... but only if they can make it sound like a true muscle car. :banghead:

Hail Muscle Cars! What you think about Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

Not a true musclecar, never was. Chevelle, that was a true musclecar. The Monte was it's softened cousin.

the only "muscle-ish" Monte I can think of was the late '80s SS variant. and that wasn't really impressive in my book.
 
There's something I don't like.... why including 20 LMP cars when they handle exactly the same?

They are all exceptional cars, but the differences between them are probably too subtle until you drive each one in an endurance race.

In any event, you can't just include "one" LMP car, how could you pick which goes in the game? I don't like having just one F1 car in GT4, either.
 
Definately would like to try this rare beast:

0.187E


5.394E


12.4200


Bitter GT1. A modified Lotus Elise GT1 with a Viper V10 for more power.

What car is that? Whatever it is, its looks extremely fast and could be a Group-C / Imsa GTP or LM car from the early 90's?

I want it in GT5!:sly:

TWR Jaguar XJR-10 IMSA GTP version, but I would prefer the XJR-10 with enclosed rear wheel fenders and front fins.
 
Nice choices, TC_D1.

I know I've posted this many times before, but I want to reiterate what I want most...

1964 Cobra Daytona Coupe Race Car

OK, I know PD cannot use the 'Daytona' name without paying for it. But, who really needs the 'Daytona' part, anyway? We all know what it is. I just want the car.


1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Race Car

How about this thing. Do you know what it is? :D

Thanks Alonsomania, its really a 92' Lola !
Man that car looks even better than the Peugeot 905's, that must be a heck of a racecar and its incredible beautiful!

Its definitely a hot car for GT5 that should not be missed. 👍

I'd much rather have that livery than the Euro Racing livery, for sure!

Awesome car :)
 
thats what i want, more group c race cars, more race and rally cars in general, mea how many people buy those useless cars that nobody ever heard of e.g. spain car company

By that I take it you mean SEAT, a rather well know brand in Europe, so one that actually quite a few people have heard of (particularly as its owned by VAG) and produce quite a few nice hot hatches.

I for one would be quite happy to see a few more cars from "spain car company".

Scaff
 
If im not mistaken that Spanish car company had some pretty fine rally cars in the late 90s. And there was a car i saw in Forza that I fell in love with. The Seat Cupra GT
 
Jaguar XJR-15 (? xj-15?)

Jun Supra (along with all "Jun" cars :mischievous: )

Amuse Supra... How could they have missed this in GT4? :banghead:

Esprit NSX


Those are all little screen caps from videos I've downloaded in the past. I'm sure many of you have seen them all before... Also, like another racecar mentioned here in the past, the XJR-15 was actually a horrible racecar/ normal car (Clarkson thought lowly of the xj-15?). :lol:
Still don't recall the name... :ouch: :dunce:
Enough for now, I'm heading out to find more photos specifically for this thread. I'll see if I can come up with anything really good and sorely missed. :confused:

Btw, solid lifters had a couple great choices on the last page. 👍
Also, Michael88 had a nice post with mostly American muscle. 👍
Finally, Eunosthedeer had great pictures of various BTCC cars (or racecars of that sort). 👍

I'd love to see more FF racecars in GT5. :(
 
Looks like my account got purged for lack of use... lol

Interesting thread....

I am SOOOOOO glad to finally see people posting some Firebirds and Trans Ams. The '89 Anniversary in particular is about as ideally suited to this series as any car could be - the Grand National engine in a lighter, better balanced, car with an *already* good suspension and handling capabilities (enhanced by the lighter tubo V6, which also further improved the weight bias).

However, despite the 5.7L pushrod engine, the 2002 WS6 Trans Am is a beast not to be taken lightly. It too NEEDS to be in this game. (especially since PD could cut corners and just make a 3D model and use the camaro code, so it's easier to add than a totally new vehicle)

2 things I didn't see listed here -
The 1992 (and first) Firehawk -
firehawk2.jpg


This car, created by SLP Engineering, when properly optioned, was faster and better handling than the '92 Corvette. It was a force to be reckoned with.

The '97 Firehawk -
Hawk1.jpg


Packed an LT4 in the last year of the LT1 body style.

Formulas are stripper Firebirds with the Trans Am drive train, Firehawks are Formulas that have been massaged in all areas of performance.

Oh, and someone posted a '68 Firebird 400, that gets a +1 from me. The '68 Firebird 400 was quicker than the crappy camaro (and mustang), while looking immensly better too.


I also wanted to touch on the argument a few pages back from the US car haters. In the first place, complaints that a car "can't turn" always come from people with sub-2 liters torqueless wonders that can't accelerate or go fast, all they CAN do is turn. See, there's more than 1 way to a fast lap time. You don't have to go warp 5 through corners. You can utilize braking, acceleration and top speed to get good lap times too.

However, be that as it may, the argument that US cars can't turn is utter BS. As someone here posted, the C6 Z06 ran the Nürburgring in around 7:42, absolutely smoking everything costing less than 10 times as much (pretty much the Porsche Carrera GT is the only thing faster). And the Blue Devil is coming..... It's only going to get worse for the exotic car snobs. lol

Even the C5 Z06 is impressive by ANY stretch of the imagination. Heck, even in GT4, the 2000 model year Z06 beats the top of the line R34 GTR (from Nissan itself, not Nismo or any of the other tuners - GM doesn't have an equivalent of Nismo). And the Z51 package on the C6 (bang for the buck performance package) is equal to the C5 Z06 (top of the line model). And due to their change to the aero-coupe, the new cars are faster than the C5 Z06 as well (top end).

And with that in mind, I did a little GT4 comparo - 2000 F-Body (had to use the crappy inferior chevy, since the GOOD one (Trans Am) still isn't present), vs the same GTR I mentioned above. Running around Trial Mountain, totally stock with just an oil change. The GTR was about half a second slower than the C5 Z06, which was 2 years older. The F-Body, was about 2.7 seconds behind the GTR.

2.7 seconds might sound like a lot, but remember, the GTR has the advantage in HP, and power to weight, AND is the king of the hill, the top dog, the ultimate Japanese car hands down bar none, right.....? ;) :D

When you consider the GTR's place and legend, the fact that a 'mere' camaro, a second tier econo-minded street bruiser, that's down on power and strung with a live axle, could come so close to the mighty R34 Skyline GTR, you HAVE to tip your hat and unless you're blind and stupid, realize that YES, US cars CAN turn (and brake and accelerate).

You ought to see the #s break down of the 2002 T/A WS6 vs the 2004 Porsche Cayman S. The Cayman loses in areas, ties in others, and on a track would be unable to lose the T/A.

People can't accept that, but it's the truth.

And the worst part is that the T/A is hamstrung with crap shocks, while these other higher end cars are not. Leveling the playing field there makes things even worse for the "higher end" cars.


Sorry... <rant off>. lol
