I wish Gran Turismo would put aussie cars into the game. They only put the tickford (seton) car in. I was hoping for a holden.
I want to see cars like the monaro's new and old, xy gtho,falcons, commodores,magna,camry.
Seeing Holden & Ford are the 2 main rivals, would like race cars as well.

www.hsv.com.au
www.holden.com.au
www.ford.com.au
www.v8supercar.com.au

Are examples of cars I would luv to see added to the game
 
My suggestion:

Ford Falcon XR8 streetcar
HSV's
Holden Monaro
Pickup version of the Holden Commodore
 
Australian V8 supercars.

To post more than 1 pics you have to host the pics you want on a ftp or on a homepage... then when you post click on IMG and put the link for the pic on the window that opened...the click OK

do it many times you want...
 
V8 supercars are better than formula 1 in my opinion. More close racing. And cars are much closer to road cars than F1.

One good thing about F1, is it helps me sleep.
 
that's what i sayd, F1 is crap. Supercars are way better
 
holden man or ford eddy_2790?

I am holden, but really want another holden driver to beat skaife.
Sick of seeing him win. But they deserve it, they play it cool, and have the best of every thing.
 
I think there should be more of every country on GT4. The japanese cars are always outnumbering everyone else. There should be an equal amount of every car brand.
 
Well with the Falcon race car in GT3 something tells me Australia's best will be in the next GT. :)

lol, theres a hidden message in that picture...

soo many holdens, so little fords...
 
why not austalian cars theres Japanese, european and america. The only thing that is missing is aussie cars.

GO HOLDEN.
 
I reckon they should include the 00 Gibson Motorsport Falcon and the 01 HRT Commodore with their own series( They could name it Aussie Musscle or V8 Supercars).

They should also include their road counterparts(Ford Falcon XR8 and Holden Commodore SS).
 
they should have :holden: and :ford: dealers and have used car dealers as well so u can buy a vt,vs,vr,vp,vn,vl,vk,vh,vc and the vb and same the :ford: and have the utes as well :D

Dude! I totally agree with you!!!

Here's what I said in another thread, this one was PAL GT Concept 198 cars!! - Here is the complete list!
First quote:
I'm still pised off! What the hell is with the 99% JAPANISE CARS??? We don't like no $hitty economy cars! Where's the Shelby GT500 that's LISTED IN THE RIGHTS IN THE BACK OF THE GT3 MANUAL???????????? G-O-D!!! What, can you say RACIST??? They don't even have any Diablos or anything like that! The only prototypes are, once again, JAPANISE!!! Now, I'm not racist or anything like that, but I'm getting pretty fed up with this uneven tilt of the "Japanise Pride"
I can't because they're too racist against other countries becaus we don't always have to make economy cars, but honestly, I'd love to race this car:

Here's the second post I made:
Sorry, I'm just fed up with the fact that the only console that doesn't cater to just Japanise is the dreaded Microsoft. I mean, you'd think that just once in a while other places like Australia, Europe, Canada, and the US could get some games before Japan. I just like the theory "What goes around comes around"

P.S. If you look at how many of those cars people would actually race(japanise cars) to the cars that people actually race(other countries), the % of wasted space is wasted on so many crappy economy cars, that it's kinda rediculous. I agree that having a few crappy cars in it can be fun, but having 12 Subarus, 12 Mazadas, 17 Mitsubishi's, 20 Hondas, 25 Toyotas, and 30 Nissans, look at those last numbers! 3 companies totalling 75 cars? Let's look at the 3 "largest" non-japanise companies and total them up: VolksWagon, Lotus, and Chevy each with 5, Mercedes and Audi each with 6, and Ford with 7. That's what, 15? Hmm... that's 5x as many with using the 3 "largest" from Japan in comparison to the world.

they do have on aussie car, the tickford. Though it may not be full aussie style its from austrailia. I personally dont like the look of holden, its a sedan race car. Maybe it would do more for me if it were a coupe that looked sportier. But until then i won't like it to much. But it would be a great addition to gt.

:stopsign: Ok hold it there Eddy, F1 is a great sport. Don't say stuff like that dude. To say you don't like F1 is fine but to say it's 'crap' is another thing :argue:

I like Aussie :au: Supercars, infact I like any Touring/Super Car Sports :gcar:. Why don't you like F1? :confused:

There will probably be pressure to put the new pontiac GTO (or whatever its called) in but all that is a light tune Monaro (see "The porko's" avatar) but all we (and rjensen11) want is more parody in the numbers of cars from each country, say 7 from Australia. It would probably boost sales around the world too.

Tickford falcon (as we all know and hate it)
HRT Commodore (The tickfords rival)
HSV GTO (The better hsv monaro (is it the GTO?? I cant remember)
Ford TE50 pursuit (A competitor for the HSV GTO)
A stock Ford Falcon (What the Tickford is (loosley) based on)
A stock Holden Commodore (As above but the HRT)
And maby for the hell of it a big Aussy ute; The HSV Maloo ute (6.2 liter V8 with around 350 kw)

Easier said than done, :gt: need the licenses first for Lambo and :ferrari:........
 
V8coupe mentioned the Magna, that car was in GT2. It was called the Gallant. Not a bad car, but really nothing great.

Actually they're quite different - the Magna is A LOT bigger, and until Feb 2003 front drive only. It runs with a 3 litre and 3.5 litre V6 (used to run a 2.4 litre 4 but that got dropped).

Wouldn't mind a 3.5 litre V6 AWD Ralliart Magna, though...

It will be interested to see what happens in GT4 - I don't know if the Holden/HSV license is still exclusive to EA Sports (though given the recent EA V8 game and the Monaro's appearance in NFS it appears it probably is), so you can probably discount them, which is a shame.

I'd like:
- CV8 Monaro
- what ever the topline HSV sedan and coupes are now
- one of the Holden Commodore V8 supercars (VX and VY)
- the Ford Falcon XR6 turbo
- the Ford Falcon GT
- one of the Ford Falcon V8 supercars (AU and BA)
 
The Gallant in GT2 also had an AWD version, the VR4 with similar comp. trim mods.The makers of the GT series should make a V8 Supercars game. It's a great series, very competitive. Paul Skaife is awful good driver, I really like him. In Canada on SpeedChannel we get the V8 series only in the fall. We're in race 9 or 10 now at Winton. Could be a good track for GT4, it's really twisty.

Actually, the Galant was a real sleeper - I was a big fan of it in max turbo form. The AWD Magna's not out yet.

It would actually be the third attempt at V8 Supercars if they did, with the EA game and TOCA Race Driver, neither of which really captured the series for me - but I can't see it happen. Hopefully there are a couple of variations on Commodores and Falcons (like the JGTC cars) and you can do a pseudo championship in GT4.

It's actually Mark Skaife - I used to regularly go to the races at Winton, the track there has changed quite a lot in recent years.
