Any news on GT award at SEMA ?

[lGNAl]

Post anything you find related to the game at the 2014 SEMA show.

Winner of the award probably going to be yet another old Camaro or any muscle car like the last years.

And yes, that's a bad thing. Cant we get some rebuilt D-type or something? Now i don't know much about this GT award thing, but i do know that more than half of the winners have been muscle cars.

How about we actually wait and see instead of jumping to conclusions? I get it, people are apparently frustrated that A lot of SEMA winners have been American as of late (funny how before, that wasn't an issue), but lets at least see first.

I'm just throwing in a guess of what might happen.

Calm down friendo.

The award is handed out tomorrow, so sometime before then, we should find out who the finalists are.

I just simply said lets wait and see what happens, I don't see where my reaction warrants me to cool down.

You sounded kinda hostile, but well its hard to tell these things by text.

Sorry for the misunderstanding

Isn't that one last year's winner?

I see it is being recorded, nice

Yeah, last years winner, I seen this on GT.com and masterGT said it took them a year but they finally finished recording it. I see they still doing it on a dyno and a microphone, I think it's going to come out well tho.

How long ago was that?

 

[vr6cas]

How long ago was that?

I assume its recent, it was last year's winner and he said it took them a year to record it.

Whats interesting is the fact that most of the cars arent available in stock form in the game. Case in point: Ford Trans Cammer, Camaro 1980's, Corvette Convertible, etc.

 

[double A-ron]

From what I've seen posted on Autoblog, my guess would be the winner will be either the Ring Brothers 980-horsepower Chevy Chevelle 'Recoil' or the 1971 Chevy Corvette Jimmie Johnson Concept.

What are the competitors of SEMA 2014?

 

[CinnamonOD]

Yeah, I've been looking for the list without success...

 

[Jordan]

I don't have a complete list of the cars this year unfortunately. I arrived late to SEMA this morning and only caught the last three cars.

Not pictured: an orange pickup, and...a GT-R.

I don't have a complete list of the cars this year unfortunately. I arrived late to SEMA this morning and only caught the last three cars. Info is limited. Maybe to all can find out some more on the web?

I would absolutely love that HPA Golf(with what I presume to be 740hp and 4wd). Even if we already have an older one.

Hell, I'd like the Camaro as well but we just got one two

 

[CinnamonOD]

I wouldn't know if put that Camaro in the Questionable or Tasteful modifications thread

 

[RACECAR]

Seems like whoever made the Camaro seems to have followed the RTR example of "🤬 the rules"

 

[cmbeal317]

Not really liking the Camaro, but the Golf and Bel Air look great!

Plus, if the Bel Air gets chosen, Kaz will have some incentive to give us something a lot of people have been asking for.

 

[vr6cas]

That Camaro is SICK!!! We already have two HPA cars, so not really feeling them but I'm sure it's nice and with 740hp I'm sure it's fast, wish it was a two door. Jeff Lutz car would be crazy, 3,000hp+ would be insane, but that Camaro I bet is going to catch Kaz's eye. Look at the front suspension! The Camaro has my vote. Anybody notice how Jordan said and... a GT-R...lol

 

[ildd]

delete, didn't realize this car was from two years ago

 

[RACECAR]

Anybody notice how Jordan said and... a GT-R...lol

Because he more then anyone else is well aware of the lynch mob here that is the anti-GT-R crowd. Even if its from the 2014 Super GT season or its the 2015 LMP1, its a GT-R and people will flip.

 

[dimassa19]

My vote goes to Camaro!

 

[MMX]

That Camaro is SICK!!!

Yeah, I almost threw up when I seen the wheels. The rest of the car is badass, but whoever picked out the tire/wheel combo, needs a swift kick in the nuts.

That is true, I myself am a huge GT-R fan of all generations, R30s to the R35s, it's a great car and I don't blame the Kaz for loving his home countrys car. If it was an American made game I'm pretty sure we would have every variation of Mustang, Camaro, Corvette and Challenger on the game and I bet not one American would complain. It's sucks because there some awesome tuner GT-Rs in Japan that I would love to see on the game, MCR R35, Mines R35, Top Secret R35 etc...

I don't think its going to be the GTR 'Best Asian Import' winner (I'm guessing). Because it will be nothing really new, unless its a RWD.

And definitely not the Lutz '57 Chevy BelAir 'Best Hot Rod' winner (guessing again). Because we don't have a drag track, and it will be the only real drag car in the game.

Also, not the Camaro 'Best Domestic Automobile' winner (guessing). We already have a couple.

The same with the golf HPA. We already have two.

My best guess it's going to be that Orange pickup for 'Best Truck or SUV'.

What make is the truck ? ... old ? New ?
