No, you read that wrong. Forcing is used to describe the psychological effect that some of us have, to "need" a car that costs the 20 mil credits. Mr Greycap wrote that if you "want" it, most likely as not in any hurry to put other activities out of theirway to obtain. Or as one earlier reffered, you can rubber band it, which in that case, would be the need to have the car, as you are devoting yourself to reach the price to buy and spend all you have.
Nice try trying to trick someone's words who had no intention, the stereotypical north still prevails..
Ordinarily I'd respond to the extremely out of place (all the more so compared to your level-headed posts earlier in the thread) North/South antagonism by cracking a joke asking you how slavery turned out and ignoring the rest; but since you didn't really
do anything besides repeat what Greycap already said (which I understood the first time, thanks. He was saying that the word "forced" is misused since you don't really need the cars for anything; which is an extremely straightforward point that he nonetheless still undermined by assuming that people want the cars cheaper simply because it's too hard or takes too much work when neither has anything to do with it) I'm more curious whether you posted for any reason other than to start something about the state I live in.
Actually the GT40 sold for 11 Million
I said
before commission for exactly that reason.
and that was the 1968, the ones in the game are a 66 and a 69
Nope. Both the one in that auction (1074) and the one in the game (1975) were originally built by John Wyer (former head of the GT40 program) in 1967 as Mirage M1s (along with a third car); based on the Mk I GT40 design but with a larger engine, a much lighter chassis and smoother bodywork. This is what they looked like:
In early 1968 they were both converted to be closer to the original GT40 spec (with the smaller 4.9 liter engine and the original GT40 bodywork, but retaining the lightweight chassis) so they would fit under the Group 4 classification and be able to continue racing as production cars after the larger engined cars were all banned from competing. They were both built at the same time in the same way and those two (unlike the later Gulf GT40s) are the true sister cars. The date GT5 has for the Gulf GT40 is wrong by simple virtue of the fact that it would be hard for that specific car to win races in 1968 as it did if it didn't exist yet.
and of course they are brand new showroom condition with 0 miles.
Which would lower the price in real life because a brand new showroom-condition car wouldn't have been a multiple-race winning car from the late 1960s, like both of the GT40s in the game are (as well as the one in that auction). If I rang up Ford and asked them to build me up a Mk IV GT40 using period parts they found in a warehouse, it wouldn't be worth anything compared to an original one that has the provenance of winning Le Mans in 1967; just like the Shelby continuance Cobras aren't worth anything compared to one with racing history. The value
is the history (or at least predominate part of it); and if you need any more convincing, the lowest mileage (4500), completely unrestored-but-still-immaculate GT40 which was used by Carrol Shelby as a promotional car sold for
a third of what chassis 1074 did.
