Boy this is not off topic! It's right on with all the fatastic pointless threads of the GT4 section. Thats why I think this site is so great.

If you ask me, the Elanor.. is ugly :yuck:
 
The 73 Mustang Mach 1 351 cleveland kicks the GT500E's ass, maybe not in the performance era but we're talking about 30 years difference. the 74 Gone in Sixty Seconds is still one of my favorite movies and I like it and the car more then the remake. It's true that Angelina Jolie is in the remake but we all have to realistic with ourselves sometimes and the 40 minute chase makes the film.

So. 73 Mach 1 FTW.

You sure dont know much about these cars do you. They did jump the Eleanor. Obviously not across the entire bridge but they jumped it for the landing scene. I am not going to argue with you about it all day. However you really should not post if you dont have your facts straight. Your just a hater.
I'm sorry if I feel that throwing millions of dollars at a cult movie results with the best they could come up with is a 10 minute police chase with a fake CGI jump. I'm obviously just a hater, as the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds is such a better movie in every way, as is the Italian Job better than the original. I'm sure if they were to remake Bullit with Will Ferrell and $100,000,000 with an '02 Bullit Mustang it would be a much better movie as well, since I don't have my facts straight.

How is 550Bhp riced up?

How does BHP effect the amount of useless adornments glued on to the car?

Why trash a car when you can use CGI.

Because, based on the rediculous amount of cool stunts in former car chase movies, the car chase and resulting jump were pathertic, especially when compared to the one in the original.
 
I was also surprised GT picked the 350 over the 500, but you shouldn't complain because there were a few cars kept out of the game that some people agree should have made it.

Also, it's not a good way to start a thread saying "Is anyone elese angry that there isnt an elanor in GT 4?"

To start a serious discussion like some of the people in this thread have, you should say why you are disappointed it was left out of the game. Also, not everyone in the world will understand your Gone in 60 Seconds reference. ;)

On a side note, I have a website that may help you; www.iespell.com ;)

Besides what Toro said... because people will know it isn't real.

Despite Starsky & Hutch being on my list of "meh" movies, I actually love the fact that everything they did with the car (including the high torque monsters they put under the hoods of the various incarnations of it) was real.

I love the jump at the end where you can quite easily see the front subframe give way on the landing. Now that's realism. :lol:

yes and no. the 350 and 500 are two different beasts. the 350 sounds different than the 500, drives different, ect.

If the sounds of them is one of the differences your worring about...knowing GT they both would probably sound the same. Only about a handful of cars had a close to real sound. Most at low rpm.

True...it's getting to the point where not much is real now a days lol...not that it bothers me, if it's a good movie it's a good movie...but I'll shut up, getting off topic
 
I always wonder why Cage left the GT500 till last if it was his jinx car.
Ah, but if he got it first, there goes your action car chase.
I was of the opinion there is a Shelby Mustang Convertable called a GT500 in GT2. Looks like Uncle Harry has to fire up GT2 to check. From memory it was an ugly looking model with wrong proportions, too long and skinny, to do justice to the real car.
 
There was a GT500 in GT2 and it was a convertible.

The GT500E is about as close to a remake of the original GT500 as the new one is. The GT500E is definitely not "riced up". It is functional...whereas the movie version was about as functional as the Mad Max Interceptor. The movie version was NOT a GT500E. The GT500E was inspired by the movie mock-up.

There are two versions...the 525 hp model and the 427ci 725hp Super Snake version (only 75 made).

Unique Performance also did another Shelby Mustang...the GT350SR. There's also a limited edition 40th anniversary 427ci model.

Should these be in GT? Yes! Will I be mad if they aren't? Of course!

I believe he got it last because he could never steal it the first few times. In the remake, one of his helpers told his brother it nearly killed him before.
 
Yes, there was a Shelby GT500 convertible in GT2. I didnt like it much either, though Im not sure about how close to the real thing it was.
 
I dont see why you keep calling it eleanor. thats not even what the gt500 really looked like. eleanor was a modded gt500 that had different body panels and such so what do you want. a gt500 or eleanor. there are many clssic cars that were left out and some versions that were retarded. like the 1971 barracuda. i find the 1970 10x more desirable but too bad. what do you expect, the people who made this game were japanese so they dont know which american cars would be desirable.

and the new gone in 60 seconds was crap. other than have a storyline everything else was pretty gay. and the last jump was ultimately stupid. i love the original they beat the hell out of that poor mach 1 and it still ran at the end. thank god for that movie, cuz all my friends thinks ricers are ten times better because there new and that they'd handle a crash better. i just say, go watch the original gone in 60 seconds. a ricer could even handle the first bump. whole body kit would fall off. lol
 
Expecting a movie car like Eleanor to be in GT4 would be like expecting the BTTF DeLorean, or any one of the Batmobiles, or the Austin Powers Jaguar. Being able to drive those cars would be neat, but you shouldn't expect them from a game like Gran Turismo.

Now, expecting the GT500 is more understandable, but as a few others have already said, you can't just go around making threads about cars that aren't in GT4. We have GT5 wishlist threads for that.
 
To be honest moving this is not going to make it anymore valid, wish-list cars have a place and that in the GT5 forum in the existing thread for cars.

Locked.
