[05XR8]

Retro cars heaven for me.

I'm not likin' the Lyman but, there are cars for everyone. The formula Mazda is going to be fun. Sounds good.

I friggin' love the Hypersport!

 

[SlipZtrEm]

If there's a free car included this month, it isn't able to be found with the same tactic as the Silvia was last month.

Speaking of, the Silvia still isn't listed in the normal dealership.

Wow 835 PI for the Lykan? I was thinking mid-high S class but it's rated higher than the GT3 cars, the IMSA 300ZX and RX-7, and the Koenigsegg Agera (in my mind this is a better track car for some reason). My friends are trying to make a good tune for it in R class but apparently it understeers like a truck.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Depending on the restrictor, 650-750 horsepower. 1077kg minimum weight. Whether they model it accurately is the only question.

It's a little light (about 50kg), but the restrictor options include 653hp and 756hp. So that's handy.

If it's bare weight, that should actually be correct... I was basing it off the Honda weight with the hybrid handicap.

Yes it has some major understeer, and you'll want to apply the brakes earlier then normal. The GT-R is a blast though, just ran some test drive laps with it around spa. Very fun to drive. Going to try out the TS040 now on Indy gran prix circuit.

 

[HELLAFLUSH240SX]

It does seem out of place, but given T10's habit of introducing full (or nearly) racing classes (Formula E, V8SC, WEC, GT3, etc), I feel like this is a hint of things to come.

I would love to see Super GT make a return but that reminds me that I need to hit Google as I have no idea what cars are in today's current Super GT lineup. The cars I remember are the NSX, GTR, Soarer. Idk what the GT300 class has but I always like the old Subarus and the MR2. I'm ignorant of Super GT.


Just did a Wiki search and I would love the NSX GT and RC F from the GT500 class and the Evora, GTR GT3, CRZ, BRZ(or 86) from the GT300 class.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Just clipped off a low 52 in a completely bone stock Formula Mazda at Lime Rock. Love this thing, wish we could get a one make series going out of it!

@HELLAFLUSH240SX - Ask @Bo, he knows. Pretty sure the Big Three field GT-R's, RC F's, and NSX's, though. GT3 is always a more varied field, if you ask me.

GT300 is mostly GT3. The surviving JAF cars are the BRZ and Prius, and there are also Mother Chassis GT86s and an Evora. GT500 is GT-R/RC F/NSX.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

The GTR has a 4 cylinder turbo, right? So why does it sound like a 6 cylinder?

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Lorde, NA straight six in the Skyline screams like anything...

Yeah I noticed this as well, which would work out for Forza surprisingly well. We already have the SLS GT3 and the 458! We just need the more GT300 only kind of cars seen in that race series!

Thanks a ton! I googled it but you are right on with your info and quick reply as well. Appreciate it a ton.

They still had inline sixes then.

GT500 cars are all 4 pot turbos. "Bag of nails" is probably the most accurate description of the sound.

Oh I thought he meant the Kenmeri. I didn't know the GT500s had become turbo fours.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

The Kenmeri has the S54 M3 engine swap. Forget the RB26, this is what I need in life.

The Lykan is also crazy fast. Certainly faster than the quoted HP suggests. I'm lapping alongside GT3 cars...

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Yeah sorry should have been more precise. The Kenmeri has the marvellous S20 of course.

 

[prousonhairy]

I couldn't resist, I had to pick this shade on this car.

Yeah that's disappointing, I like the real 4 cylinder sound

 

[ClydeYellow]

I think he's talking about the GT500 car. Which, BTW, sounds nothing like an inline six.

 

[Populuxe]

I'm still waiting for someone to post a pic of the Opel.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

sounds nothing like an inline six.

IRL or in game? that's 100% a 6 cylinder sound in forza.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Had a quick spin in the GT500 GT-R at COTA and it definitely sounds like it has the wrong sound sample. Certainly doesn't sound like a turbo-4 and more like a turbo-6.

 

[Nielsen]

The '66 Silvia is no longer obtainable. I don't know if they completely removed it from the game because I never got it myself. Maybe someone who did can check if it's still in the garage?

It sound like either the gtr lm nismo or the imsa 300zx, can't remember which it is. So maybe it's a sample mix up like with the gt350?

@Nielsen it is still in my garage.

The only picture I have found

Still got my two Silvias that I bought through the "Stores Of Motorsport Method".
