If it's the Gymkhana Seven I will pick this game back up!
 
Let's just hope you'll be able to change the wheels on it in-game :P

A few days back I saw some pictures of a Tanner Foust edition VW Beetle that was build for SEMA.. Wouldn't mind having that one in GT 0:-)

Also if you look close, there is a map on the dash and it says V.I.R. Full course! I hope Kaz takes notice.

KEN BLOCK UNVEILS THE HOONICORN RTR, HIS BAT**** RETRO-MODERN ALL-WHEEL DRIVE GYMKHANA SEVEN FORD MUSTANG

NOV 4th, Las Vegas, NV: Hoonigan Racing Division’s Ken Block is pleased to debut his Gymkhana SEVEN car for the first time publicly in the Ford booth at SEMA 2014. The car? A completely unique, one-off, world’s first performance all-wheel drive 1965 Ford Mustang notchback. A collaborative effort between Block, Hoonigan and RTR—fellow Ford and Monster Energy athlete Vaughn Gittin Jr’s automotive tuning brand—the car shares the spotlight with Block in his upcoming Gymkhana SEVEN video project.

Built at ASD Motorsports in Charlotte, North Carolina, over the course of two years, the car is based upon a 1965 Ford Mustang notchback—the iconic pony car, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The car was heavily modified by RTR and ASD Motorsports to feature a 410 cubic inch Roush Yates V8, with 845 hp, mated to a one-off Sadev all-wheel drive system. The styling for the build harnesses a mix of influences and inspirations that include the current crop of WRC cars, DTM cars and even toy cars from Block’s youth. These elements were harnessed through a collaborative effort between Block and RTR—since RTR is known for their Mustang expertise—and incorporated into the build.

“I’m stoked to be able to publicly unveil this car for the first time at SEMA in the Ford booth,” said Block. “This is a project that I’ve been working on for two years, so to see it fully come to fruition and be able to drive it for Gymkhana SEVEN was absolutely amazing. I also knew that working with Vaughn [Gittin Jr.] and his RTR team was the right choice for this project since Mustang’s are their world, but they really went above and beyond on this car. The attention to detail with the fabrication and bodywork blows my mind. This is hands-down the best Gymkhana car I’ve had yet.”

To see Block’s Gymkhana SEVEN Mustang in person, swing by the Ford booth on the SEMA show floor, the car will be on display to the public for the entirety of the show.

Does anybody thing that Go Pro being on the side of the car has anything to do with winning ?
Go Pro might be a up and coming partnership with GT
 
The Camaro looks like it is gonna be fun.

I was hoping for the Bel Air, but a proper drag car and strip, is to much like right...

Anything to do with voting is never truly objective IMO, there is always some bias and often outright favouritism for various reasons, be it personal preference, corporate alliance etc.
 
I was just looking over that Greddy GT-R specs, not sure if it's the right one because it has a slightly different paint scheme but I'm starting to think Kaz should have picked the GT-R. It says that GT-R has around 1200hp and that aggressive widebody kit is mean. But I understand why Kaz picks mostly American cars, it's a long time running American car show and he's Japanese and if he comes over here and picks mostly Japanese cars people will say say he's biased towards his country's cars which I guess is somewhat understandable, they already do it on the game, imagine the backlash he would get if he did it at Sema. And I bet y'all anything Kaz wanted to pick that car but... Just my two cents but that is one bad ass GT-R that we missed the opportunity of having in game probably due to popular opinion and the hate towards Godzilla.:crazy:
 
That's the winner?? :scared: Aww man, that thing just looks straight up hideous.. :yuck: No more American cars please.. at least with PD being about 2-3 years behind adding in the SEMA winners I won't have to see thing 'thing' in the game any time soon! :D

We have 2 Pikes Peak cars that are sponsored by GoPro already in the game. Be a little odd if suddenly there was a partnership after a third car.

I can't believe Kaz didn't pick the GT-R. Doesn't the man know - we don't have enough GT-R's. :banghead::sly:
