Gran Turismo is the reason I bought this car (from Japan).
This is one of the cars that have been in all GT games.

It was not listed as Premium in the GT5 car list that was posted prior to the release, but it turned out to be premium afterall:dopey:

But a 2003 is in the game which is the same thing...the US got them in 2004.
 
I had a '74 Plymouth Barracuda with a '69 340 small block engine. It's very similar to the '70 'Cuda 440 6 pak and the '71 Challenger RT. They both have very good sound in GT5 (unfortunately the racing transmission really tarnishes the sound of the Challenger. It's too bad it's needed for the Seasonal Event). The big block idle is spot on (a little more low end rumble than the small block I had and a very good representation of the big blocks I've heard)

I had a '98 Pontiac Trans Am for a few years. I believe there is a similar Z28 in the game. I haven't had a chance to try it in GT5 yet.

I want to get a BMW E90 M3 this year. Only the coupe is in the game. I've test driven the coupe twice. The game sound is a very poor representation of that awesome engine. It was terrible in Prologue and really hasn't improved in GT5. The interior and exterior are both spot on though.

No, none of my 3 cars are in the game. Kind of disappointed.

2002 Honda Civic Coupe
2009 Nissan Versa 1.8S
1987 Nissan 200SX XE (S12)

The 1983 Nissan Siliva 240RS (S110) is similar in appearance and handling, but w/ a substantially better engine (FJ20), so that's what I'm using. I bought 2; one I left stock, the other I decked out.
 
Yes it is and I tried to make one close to mine:

I drive a '04 A3 Sportsback TDi in Akora Silver. There is a 2 door '03 A3 3,2 Quattro in the game so thats the next closest thing. Doesnt even have the one piece grill thats been Audis trademark design since 2004 though... And since its standard no interior of course. :guilty:
 
Not unless they start putting proper Porsches in the game, No early 911, no 914,
no 924s, or 993. I keep hearing that EA has the porsche license locked up, Why then does FORZA have porsches galore?? I'm pretty sure they're not owned by EA.
 
Why not love for the CTS-V.. either first or second gen... seems like it would be a great car to actually lap around the nurburgring... Oh well, at least i get to take mine out and run down some cones once a month

My Mk3 VR is jealous :/

I've got nothing but love for MK3's as I miss mine and some times kick myself in the ass for selling it...

Now I've got the R32 which is stock for the most part minus OEM R32 rep headlights and EVOMS intake but still wanting a set of Koni coilovers to lower it...one day I'll get it done. 💡
 
One of mine is:

My other, older car is a 1992 Acura Integra GS-R. 283,000 miles strong and has a sweetheart of an engine, the B17A which was the 2nd application of VTEC in the US after the NSX. Here are a few pics of me being a hooligan with it at a RallyX event.

Yes, my 2009 MINI Cooper S is in the game (as 2007), but you cannot equip it with contrasting colors in-game nor can you add stripes. Besides the wheel being on the opposite side, the interior is spot-on, especially when driving at night.

The stock setup that comes in-game is very wrong with respect to the transmission, and the sound is not very realistic at all (it sounds more like a supercharger in-game). The handling is so good however that sitting in the cockpit view feels just like the real thing.

In order to make it feel as close to my car's performance, all I needed to do was put sport-medium tires on and set the 20k transmission option to 137.
