You might have to review this one...i doubt anyone else actually has this car!

Lots of folks/Hackers have that car, It's just no one hardly plays that game anymore, You could do more with GT2 than any other racing game period! You could code the AI cars for a spectacular Race, They Win most of the time also! There are So many Hidden cars and Tricking out Hybrids were a breeze, I almost want to frame it!!!

That's the only reason I'd get a GameShark..so I could make my own races and stuff. I have little interest in stuffing a Corvette engine into a Rover...it's not realistic to me, but I'd love to make a rally-enduro race..with real cars instead of a stupid ghost. Now that would be bad-ass! It would be pretty cool to put that arcade damage feature into all the AI cars, too, so that you and they would have to pit more often. I hate it in Arcade mode how you put the damage feature on but you wind up being the only car that can take damage. I'd drop a supercharger on a Hemi engine if it's possible...just cuz in real life this is totally possible. I don't know...I'm just into stuff like that.
Anyways, back on topic: we need a review for the hidden GT40 MKIII...

sad but true there.. i still play gt2 a lot though, no other game even comes close with car selection. i have gt3 too but i play it maybe half as much as gt2. to me, depth is way more important than realistic graphics, im not saying that gt3 is bad, its awesome, realy fun. just doesnt compare in my eyes

Wrong car ... You're thinking about the XJ220 ... He asked for the XJR15 ...Korndawg95/100
really fun to drive, rwd, can be modified to make some huge power and speed. perfect except that i dont think anybody can remember the name of it without looking it up, and it only comes in one color..
umm how about the '64 Lotus Elan
Elan = 32.1/100 ... Limited top speed (stock), no potential, expensive ...
Rate the Honda S2000 ...
- 683
Hi guys, my first rating, so don't go tough on me
Honda S2000, the explosive mix of a 2L 4-cyl engine pumping out 240 BHP, rear wheel drive (of course), and with the redline set at 9.000 rpm, who needs a stereo ?
It's got a Getrag 6-speed gearbox, which maches perfectly with the VTEC engine.
Wheighing in at only around 1200 kg, it's incredibly fun to drive around corners. It's very friendly to amateurs, easy to drive, but also incredibly fast in the right hands. It is a real joy to drive this car through a corner, clip its apex, easier done than said
then accelerate in that motorcicle-like engine sound, it makes me want to have one forever
Acceleration is very smooth, 0-60 takes around 6 seconds and it tops at around 240 kmh, which makes it the fastest 2L NA on the market today 💡
i made a time attack like 2 years ago on Grindelwald, and its time was within 1 sec of the NSX Type S Zero's time, so that tells that it's really made for the winding road, with its chassis being honed on the world famous Nürburgring Nordschleife, just like the BMW ///M5 E34 and Porsche 959, just to name 2 of the world's best
Next car : BMW 750i/840 CI Sports, which you prefer
*hint* 840Ci *end of hint*

Dammit, I wanted to rate the S2000! Well, that car is on my website, anyways. I liked it a lot.
Anyways, the game features several 156 and 166 series Alfas, with the 2.0 engine being the bottom-line 4-cylinder. Despite this, it is a rather pricey car for not much performance at 40,850 credits. It is also a sedan, and though it seems heavy, its problem is really lack of power. Once you've got a turbo installed (there are 3 to choose from) you're on your way. If you want to get it lighter, you might be disappointed! Stage 3 weight redux takes a total of 346 lbs. off, and the car can't be race-modified.
The engine has that famous Alfa snarl and it's got a bit of low-end torque, but it seriously struggles over 6,500 rpms. In my track test, I couldn't even get it above 7,000 in 5th gear, and it topped off at 138 mph.
Despite this, I took this car to several races. At the B-license GT National race @ Trail Mountain, I raced it with all stock parts except for the permanent engine mods and a sports muffler (165 hp). There were 3 annoying Rover Minis, and I managed to squeak my heavy car around them without any slamming. By the time I was starting lap 2, I passed all of them and eventually won the race. Just goes to show that despite the weight, this one can own!
At the A-license GT race @ Rome, I used sports tires and suspension, sports gearbox, stage 1 turbo with sports exhaust (215 hp@6,600 rpm) and gave my 166 stage 1 weight reduction (2,974 lbs.), racing brakes but no controller and no other mods. Here, I was really expecting a lot of understeer, but was pretty surprised. Of course, I know this track well, but still, the handling was a lot better than expected. The only time you're really gonna have a prob is if you mess your cornering line or brake too late. No surprises here.
Finally at the GT Regional race @ Grand Valley, I had stage 2 weight reduction, soft slicks, semi-racing suspension, full stage 3 turbo power (356 hp@6,600 rpm), twin clutch with sports flywheel, and the brake controller set at 11 & 19. Finally, the car's handling was what I expected! Lots of body roll, braking distances needed to be longer, lots more understeer...but it's still got great out-of-corner response and hugs the turns. I won the race while the more agile TVR Cerbera 4.2 with its higher top speed clambered behind me in half of lap 2 and most of 3.
stock car testing
0-60 mph: 8.310 seconds
0-100 mph: 26.477 seconds
0-400 meters: 16.544 seconds @ 83 mph
1 KM: 30.654 seconds @ 106 mph
Test Track: 2:02.169
Top Speed
1st: 36 mph@ 7,500 rpm
2nd: 62 mph "
3rd: 92 mph "
4th; 121 mph "
5th: 138.73@6,900 rpm
All told, 62 / 100.
Next car: '98 Daihatsu Opti Aerodown 'Beex'. Drive it, please...don't just say it sucks....tell us WHY it sucks!!

Alrite, i have a feeling nobody's gonna write about the Beex. so instead of leaving this thread to die let's try the RUF BTR2.

Check out my website, to me half the fun of GT is the testing and learning each car's quirks! http://community.webtv.net/thebeast66/GranTurismoCar or just click below this post where it says website.
BTW, what is the next car to review???

Korndawgduuude i love ur site, truly my kind of stuff u got on there! im gonna have to start up my own
how about the Delta S4 rally car next? one of my favorites
I want to see someone else doing something new in Gran Turismo! Finally a bit of friendly competition. I tend to write those things when inspiration strikes... If I think of 5 or 6 angles to write about for a car, I'm on my way to making a review of it. Sometimes, I'll start a review and it'll just suck...that's why the Acura NSX link is dead at the moment. I'm about to write one for the Mitsubishi GTO/3000 GT finally, so look for that one soon!
I haven't raced the Delta S4 recently, so I'm passing it along unless I happen to get in one today..

hehe ur site is gonna be better than mine tho im sure, im not good at writing reviews about cars and personal thoughts. anyways, how do you get the wheelbase and overhang info? do you just get the real life specs online? all i can do so far is look in the game and convert mm to inches and cc to ci and stuff..

I visit a lot of websites, basically. Sometimes you can get all the info you need from one or 2 places. Other times, things can get really obscure and I'll wind up going on sites that have probably never been touched except by a handful of other people. Someday I'll make it more colorful once I figure out a cheap way to do it tho I kinda like all-text sites...they've got a certain basicness about them. You should check out SportWagon's site, too. He wrote down all his GT1 experiences as a huge blog, some of it is pretty funny.
