R34 + Lowered all the way to the ground + M.N.P. III Paint + No wing = Lobby Stopper.


How about my Midnight Purple lll Stagea Autechversion with silver chrome rims, (thos razor blade rims at the end i think)
 
Nissans...in Daytona Blue Pearl Metallic with Prodrive wheels...
and i tend to like the Enduro machines like the Falken GT-R and the GT Acadamy
 
I use my Stealth GT-R and McLaren F1 a lot and they naturally stand out, my other cars tend to be very running the OZ-Prodrive wheels and are painted like the ones are on my real life car, which is a deep grey colour.
 
What makes my Nissan 370z Academy Tuned Car special? The fact that I feel like I'm driving a rarity when I drive it. :sly:
(Excluding duping, etc.)
 
On a serious note, I don't tune engines, turbo/super chargers, intakes, or exhausts.

I like seeing how well the engine can do on its own with stock parts then with less weight and better parts. For me it keeps the 'soul' of the car there.

I always hate it when my brother (older than me and actually owns a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX that he wishes to keep stock) tunes EVERYTHING without thinking about it.



And no aero kits. Wheels I change if stock are ugly...

I prefer reversible mods so I don't do weight reductions or the engine tune for all cars. This allows me at least one bone-stock version of each car for arcade mode.

I also fit certain mods to increase accuracy to reality such as:

- 5/5/5 diffs to cars that either should not have a mechanical LSD in reality or should only have basic brake-LSD effects. (e.g. 135i and Minis)

- Fully adjustable transmission if gearing is a bit off

- Adjustable suspension and/or rear spoiler if a car should have it (e.g. Viper ACR)

- Adjustable suspension at stock settings except for ride height because a number of premiums have odd stock ride heights.

(e.g. GT86/FRS/BRZ and front ends of '07 Mini and S2000 appear a bit low while '02 Viper GTS is a bit high)
 
Only thing that makes my cars special are my colors choices. My favorite is "Trophy blue" body with "Taffeta white" wheels, some cars look sharp in that combo.
 
I have a 350Z with DLC turquoise chrome body and turquoise rims with a spoiler=COOL:sly:

ALSO my 20 million cr. Ford GT40 race car because its amazing:drool:
 
It's special because I chose it to be in my garage. I think a selection of cars identifies me. If I had to select cars which I feel identified with, for no particular reason, and from my garage, I would say:

- Buick Special
- Ford Focus RS '02
- Nissan Skyline HT 2000GT-R (KPGC10) '70
- Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (KPGC110) '73
- Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 '85
- Cizeta V16T '94
- Pagani Zonda C12S 7.3 '02
- Subaru Impreza Coupe 22B-STi Version '98
- RUF CTR "Yellow Bird" '87
- Plymouth Superbird '70
- Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX TT 2seater (Z32) '89
- Ford Mustang Mach 1 '71
- Lotus Elise '96
- Ford Mustang V8 GT Coupe Premium '07
- Ferrari Enzo Ferrari '02
- Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe '54
- Acura NSX '91

These, as a whole, would define my identity. And without one of them, it would be incomplete. That's what make them special. Even if I never drive them.

I'm not really into silver chrome rims as all the mexicans by me use huge a*s 33' silver rims.

Since then I always liked black 5 spokes.



Another post to why my car is special.
I made it myself that took around an hour or so to get all the chassis, and engine sound right. Then the gears.... Oh the horror...
 
Cizeta/Lamborghini V16T/Diablo Replica because the Diablo is/was on my top 5 GT5 dream car list. Probably the only True Lamborghini Diablo replica made for GT5, has correct Suspension and closest gearing, it handled alright with Sports Softs.
Cizeta V12 GT1 '94 Because it handles great and sounds nice.
Nissan 300ZX Z32 '89 Because I have a Z32 IRL and the Bodykits do the car justice. It also sounds nice with the Sports exhaust, an can be a good performer with the right setup.
Ferrari F40 512GT - Because it's a Great handling 512BB powered F40 that has a good setup and similar settings to the real F40 GT.

@ Ryk, if you are talking about the Countach 25th Anniversary horn, I will have to put one of those on the Diablo. 💡

I go for the most subdued body kits that I can find for my cars. Unless you know what to look for, it's hard to tell (usually) that it even has a rear spoiler.
