What's your favorite 4-cylinder in GT3 (TAKE TWO!)

[Parnelli Bone]

I was actually torn between the PT Cruiser...my very first GT3 car, and the S2000. But I finally voted on the Integra Type R. Such a flexible machine and one of my fave FWD cars.

poor 206 rally. i had to vote for it, its one of my favorite drift cars.

 

[AUFordFalconFPR]

Impreza Sedan WRX STi , my bro has this car,same year same model

 

[gt24_7]

I would have to vote for the Castrol Supra because I'm still attached to this car from GT1. Just fantastic Looks.

Can someone please explain the fascination with the Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex Shigeno??? Maybe I detest it so much because my neighbour has had an old rusted one parked in his yard for the past 10 yrs?

Extremely lightweight (all cars from the early 80s were on average 500 to 1000 pounds lighter than they are nowadays). It's also a challenging car to race...very tail-happy. Great for drifting. Um...they can be souped up with some decent upgrades in GT2 and 3...

I see, but I just wish my neighbour would do something
with his bucket of rust, sell it, drive it, scrap it, clean it up, anything other than just letting it sit there and waste away I'd love to see it swapped for a Datsun 240z, that was a georgous car

I really like the Castrol Toms Supra. I used it to beat my brothers and nephews when we raced with the I link. They used GT-1s and 787Bs. They thought they were handicapping me with the Supra. Wrong.
The 240Z car was a very nice machine. Designed here in California. I was in Toyoko when it was unvieled to the press for the first time. I test dorve one at a dealership once and was very impressed. My cousin bought one but had to sell it after he got 8 speeding tickets. His wife didn't understand.

 

[Parnelli Bone]

Hate to tell you this GT24/7...but 240Zs rust pretty bad, too. It's funny when you think of it nowadays since Japanese cars are so high in quality, but 20-30 years ago, they were pretty much all rust-buckets.

Supert10, I used to do the same thing...my buddy and I would race in GT2 and he'd drive one of those 4wd Skylines (I forget which....Pennzoil...Unica Jecs? I forget). Anyways, I would handicap myself because I'd be driving a Viper GTS with a race-kit on, which he couldn't drive because he couldn't handle that much power in a rear-drive car!

You lucky so-and-so, drove a new 240z, from a showroom! that must've been quite an experience. Unfortunatley, I wasn't old enough to drive at that time. But I love cars like the 240z, Toyota Celica 1976 and even the Ford Cortina (MkII I think, the curvy one).

Oh, by the way, the castrol supra always sounds great too.

Yep, Japanese cars were notoriously bad for rust pre-1990. The engine would run for ever (Ref: Top Gear - Demolition of the Toyota Pick-up) but
the bodywork would look like it had just been through an acid carwash!

But It's not specifically the rust aspect of my neigbours sprinter trueno that is the cause of my severe hate for the car. I think its just that I've seen it in that state for so many years (It has weeds growing between the hood/bonet and the wing, and at the bottom of the windscreen!)

Now you're on a subject I can almost consider myself an expert on. My username is the license plate on my 1970 240Z. I'm a Datsun Head from way back to my first car; a 72 Datsun 510.

The 240Z car was a very nice machine. Designed here in California. I was in Toyoko when it was unvieled to the press for the first time. I test dorve one at a dealership once and was very impressed.

It was actually designed in Japan, but carefully monitored by Mr Katayama who was head of Datsun for North America, in California. The 240Z was the first Japanese car designed specifically to be sold in the North American market. Nissan's California Design Studios came along later.

Japan used lots of salvage steel at that time of dubious quality. Corrosion protection was nonexistent. My Z was fortunate spending time in the southeast, and later lots of time in storage. Even at that it could use new floorboards. It generally needs an input of cash, which I just don't have enough of at this time. So it sits. I bet I didn't put 200 miles on it last summer.

Sounds like time to make him an offer. The AE86 Corollas could be pretty fun 2wd rally cars or autocrossers. If it's the Corolla GTS, it's got the 1.6L 16 valve. All the kids into drifting want them so they can be like the anime' cartoon drift heroes.

 

[KAMKA-Z]

Oh Yeah, back on the subject. I like the Denso SARD Supra and the EVO Rallycars.

Funny I was gonna say the same thing: maybe it's time to make your neighbor an offer...help him sell it for scrap!

I've suggested it many a times but he keeps saying that he's going to clean it up and keep it, been saying that for 4 years now!

By the way, I've driven a vitz in real life (not a pink one unfortunately) I found it didn't understeer nearly as much as in the game, or maybe its just my settings in the game?

Nice...

I'm pretty fond of datsuns too. My dad used to own the 120A, 180B and the cherry. Ofcourse these are'nt in the same league as the 240z but the were pretty reliable.

Yea but were you taking corners at gran tree speeds?

 

[Tornado]

I voted for the Civic Type R. I don't actually like it, but the car I like (Civic SiR) isn't up there, so that is close enough.

 

[gt24_7]

Ahh...well, maybe not quite as fast, but I did reduce the life of the new tyres by about half during my 5 min outing.

Off topic: amazing I don't remember ever replacing the tires on the blue mustang in my avatar, even tho I occasionally did some burnouts on those back tires...

This was an exaggeration (not to be taken literally) to emphasise how much I was pushing the car

Oooh. Gotya. 💡

 

[Renisis Power]

The best 4 cylinder cars in GT3 are for the race cars it is the Castrole Toms Supra and the Denso Sard Supra.

Now For the street cars they would have to be the Toyota MR2 GT-S, and the Motorsport Elise.

 

[Escalade_dude]

The Castrol Tom's Supra is the best. It is so awesome!
