Muscle: Unlimited


Slated to run Sunday, February 5th, 2006




This would be the most natural, next evolutionary step following Kolyana's vastly successful "American Muscle Chamionship" where the Iron Of Old bludgeon each other on the various tracks in the GT world. The twist here is that you don't have to worry about how much money you spend on your car. At all. We are speaking of insane power levels, often in the regions of 550-700 hp. Go ahead, choose that Chevelle with 740 hp. These cars have been tested for weeks to iron out any particular strengths and/or weaknesses. That means, Cuda/C2/Cougar owners rejoice: You car drags its knuckles no longer!!! Just because your Camaro has 500 hp does not mean it cannot slaughter the menacing Superbee. All the cars are fit with racing tires and racing suspentions, ensuring your weapon of choice turns as well as she looks!


Speaking of vehicles and their tuning, here's the entry list of cars. Along with the cars are their tire grade, their aspiration setup (only 3 differ), and their grade of tuning.

Alright! That makes two for the Buick, and one for the Cobra. Where's the diversity? :lol:
 
Okay so I couldn't quite remember if u were including the Shebly Cobra 427 or not, and seen as how you ARE including it, I would like to grab that car if I may Jet. And are we using the AC Cars Cobra by chance? U know the british one or whatever it is....if not the American one is fine. Thx dude! I'll be here come February for sure!

I'll go with that Chevy Chevelle. Gotta love that car. ;) I'm always opting for a challenge. Although that 740hp in that boat is going to be a handful. Did you have to use the NA3? :lol:
 
Jet, I'm going to do some testing before I start leaning towards a car. For the AMC I picked something that was visually attractive and that no one else had ... irregardless of how she 'felt' or drove.

For Muscle:Unlimited I'll do something similar, but this time I think I want less of an ass heavy beast with an insane amount of torque. Let me run some tests over the next week or so and I'll start giving you my short list.

Good to see ya, Eric. ;) Yeah, I have to. Unless you want to be just filler. :lol:

@ Koly: Take all he time you need. But I assure you, there will be many standouts on all fronts. Have fun choosing what suits you best. :)

I think I called place of the filler, but at least the car looks nice, I wouldn't risk running that car on the road :( .

*sits in his Shelby Cobra with 0.0 miles and make vroom noises* :lol:

Nah, you'll do fine.


*points and :lol: @ darkwind*
 
Good luck on the shelby fellas, that thing is more of a handful then an overpowered chevelle.
 
Hopefully by then I will have a workin PS2. Or better yet a PS3.

Either way, pending a PS2, I'd like to use a Dodge Charger 440 R/T again. I saw some at the drag strip this weekend. Holy crap are they beautiful in real life.... No Chevelle or even the Mustangs of old can compare.
 
Yes, a Charger, either of the first two generations, is a beautiful sight to behold. You are marked down, RedWolf.

I know a guy whos is restoring a '66...I believe with a 383ci. I think he's probably got $50k into it. About 90% complete. Kind of a "steel" blue.....It's absolutely beautiful...looks like it just rolled out of the showroom.
 
Got some new entrants, good to see you intersted standard235 and MustangManiac16!:cheers: and better yet, both in Mustangs. :lol:
 
Im in! The AMC has gotten me hooked on the muscle cars again

I'd like the Shelby Cobra
 
Okay, but feel special-- You're the last one. The new limit is three people per specific vehicle, to spread the choices a little. ;)

I hear ya, I was goin to try a different car, But I really like the Shelby Mustang... I mean c'mon I drive a ford, so i gotta use one in the game :)

I can always switch it up later, before the comp starts, just to mess with you guys right?....lol
 
Well this will be a few months off yet Teledriel, so you've got plenty of time to finish up the JGTC, AMC, play another series and probably have a rest inbetween!
 
Just thought I'd give this a nudge to peak interest again, and I wanted to switch back to my GTO. :D
 
New track added. As our Gran Finale, I added what may be the hardest challenge of all: Racing at Tsukaba Wet WITHOUT ASSISTANCES. Good luck, folks. :trouble:
