Eagle Talon AWD TSI, 500ish whp

I'd settle for ANY AWD 1G DSM. :)
 
Does it count if I don't own it but I drive it.

I'm not old enough to own a car yet but I use a Nissan GTR Black Edition 2011(2012) for day to day driving.

Sorry posting from iPad and I don't know if it's possible to upload pics.

👍 cool story bro 👍

heheh...lol yeah, cool story. Now tell it again. :dopey: :lol:

It's great to see you guys loving your cars and dedicating the same amount of time and love to the virtual version of it. 👍 But what I really like is to see the amazing gems like Corvettes and other old and awesome cars being owned by real people!
Sadly I don't have a driving license (yet) but while I grew up my parents owned a few cars and at least 2 were featured in the GT series.

Opel (not Vauxhall lol) Corsa B featured in GT2. Then in GT4 the latest model (of the time) was featured, and the looks, noise and performance (according to my parents) was very accurate in both games. :sly:

Fiat Panda, the boxy original! :dopey: Can't say much about it as this was the 2nd car my parents bought after I was born...sadly the car was faulty. Radio, wipers, door locks, headlights, dashboard warning lights, etc...so I can't say much about it, but I'm happy to own one in GT5 in the same color :dopey:

I do have pictures, but...not with me. :indiff: I'm living in the UK right now, and all those memories were left back in Portugal (along with my DFGT :banghead:)
 
Ford Mustang 5.0 GT '12 with Brembo Brake Package, 19' rims.

Brakes are amazing and the OEM tires are pretty sticky! Going to as is (pure stock) to the drag strip this weekend to see what it will run. SOTP says 12's on OEM 220 tread wear index Pirreli's.

Ohh, and Vertual to Reality...lets just say the first time at a road course with this car, i was no where near as smooth on the downshifts! Though, the game did help me some IMHO.
 
One of mine has made it unto the game

Ford Escort RS Cosworth

I love that car SO MUCH!!! I did a full render of it for the facebook app vDream Racing (now the game is dead because Cheechoo and Lijen couldn't afford to keep the servers running anymore.

That is a modified one, fully carbon fiber body, carbon steering wheel, carbon dashboard, stripped-out interior, racing net, and a bit more.
The modifications that were allowed had to be made in real life, so it was fun finding all those parts.

It is sad that we can't get that Escort in the US. :(
 
Hang on!...I see a lot of people talking about the Escort in GT5 (awesome car!) but...the only Escort that I can see in the game is the rally version. :odd:
Am I missing something here? :confused:
 
200SX S14A, which is sold, 305 WHP / 422 Nm WHP. Set up in the game with same settings on the engine, drivline, transmission and suspension and weight. Seem realistic compared to my car when I used it on Nürburgring and other tracks, handling, top speed and acceleration. :-D
 
Unfortunatly there is only a WRC version in GT5.

Mine is the road going version.

That's what I thought...so, why is there so many people claiming that GT5 has a Escort Cosworth? :odd: As far as I know, a racing car (regardless of how close it gets to production specs) is still a racing car, not a road car. I just can't understand how the two resemble.

That said, I must say that your Escort does look nice, besides the obvious rims, what else have done to the car? :dopey::drool:
