Escalade

[nikcgt4rokcs]

I think that in GT5 there shud be escalades and you can control the driver seperately like get him to walk down into a garage where all the cars are lined up nd maybe customise him or sumin oh i dunno

 

[xXSilencerXx]

You mean like in NFSU2 about the Escalades?

 

[Alonsomania]

NO! GT is way better than those n00b games.

Get away with the Escalade,especially any "Look I am a rapper. I am shot 11 times,and I still live. I have everything: Money,Women. I am way better than you. Mwuahahaha" cars like that.

Because the "cars you want to see..." thread was to easy

I agree that they shouldn't be in GT cuz they aren't even sport trucks like the ones they did include.

 

[McLaren]

I don't think I'd mind stock Escalades, but none of that "P. Diddy" stuff. 👎

 

[Alonsomania]

Exactly. A stock version would be nice,not just that riced one. Don't want to be blind the rest of my life

 

[sicbeing]

no and no

 

[TEK[R]]

I would love to see some luv for tha hood. We need slabs & and who-doos. All tha P-Diddy stuff, And Funk Flex could colaborate on cars and sound tracks. But as this is an urban american thing we'll have to wait and see, I'll be holding my breath....

 

[[FPV]Rusty]

I think should should be spelt should and like should only be used in a context such as 'sound's like'. like okay like like? Your masterful grasp of the english language astounds me as much as your vision of what Gran Turismo is all about.

PIMP MY DTM RACER *****ES!!!

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Escalades:


-Uglie
-Slow
-Heavy
-Expensive
-Uncomfortable
-Interiour is crap
-exteriour is crap, have I already mentioned that?


I'd rather have a Hummer. Escalades are cars for people who wants to waste their money on crap rapper cars.

 

[Mr Laocean]

Let there be Escalades and other SUV's in the car. There will probably be a SUV Cup race, which depends on suspension and player skill. But you know, there's going to be some ricers out there who buy the SUVs and put the bling blang rims on them...then make them slizzamed..it's still okay.

 

[Pebb]

Escalade's should not be in the next GT.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I don't get why people would want to waste time in GT doing up crappy SUV's. Its a racing game, not a bloody "Show and Shine car making game". Also, whats the point having all those subs and TV's in a racing game, they make the car heavier and harder to race with. nikcgt4rokcs, your GT5 vision is totally screwed up.

Both lucid and erudite.

 

[STiGoFLyBy]

No, I seriously hope SUVs do not make it in the next installment. Now unless the have more off road tracks than that's fine. Same goes for more trucks.

You have Got to be kidding me.

Your saying you want a 2.5 Ton,oversized junk pile in a Racing Simulator?

What next?36" wheels?Hydraulics?

Come on people.This game isn't NFS:U,this is GT.NFS:U appeals to the riceboys,GT appeals to people that know a thing or two about cars (and ones that have common sense period).If you want these oversized vehicles and rice,go play your little NFS:U.A game as crappy as NFS:U will never have the physics or realism of a game like GT.GT focuses on realism as NFS:U is focused towards rice.



NFSU?STFU!

Yeah, Escalades, what a great idea . While we're at it, lets include Hummers, Ford Super Duties, Jeeps, Land Rovers, heck lets include Mack trucks, 18 wheelers, even M1A1 Tanks, and School Buses. Too bad all those trucks would suck on every track. That is until PD decides to add a "Rock Crawl" race to its rally events, not effin likely. However, if you want to have those trucks in a true racing game, then PD should have realistive roll over characteristics, something not present in GT4, like when you're driving the Dodge Ram .

You went too far by saying Mack trucks, 18 wheelers, M1A1 Tanks and School Buses. What's the wrong idea of adding SUVs? Explain your reasons for not wanting SUVs, have a reason to back up your thoughts before you say anything. 💡

 

[356C]

I stated quite clearly that all the vehicles that I listed have a natural tendancy to flip over. Why you may ask? BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER CENTER OF GRAVITY. Last time I checked, EVERY SINGLE RACE CAR was designed to have THE LOWEST CENTER OF GRAVITY IT POSSIBLY CAN ACHIEVE. SUVs are not intended for ANY kind of performance driving. They are quite proficient at towing trailers, and picking up groceries at the local super market. They are also a favorite of many housewives. Forget about the fact that they are wastes of space and fuel.

Gran Turismo was created to allow people the opportunity to drive PERFORMANCE ORIENTED VEHICLES. Not rebadged Chevy Tahoes that you pay an extra $20K for.
The whole idea is idiotic. I hope this answers your question.

EDIT: If you drive your SUV or full size truck like a Ferrari, you are most definately an idiot!

I am of the opinion you can race just about anything. And just for the record, contrary to popular belife, SUV's typicicaly don't roll over on their own no matter how many G's your pulling. 90% of the time it's because they get "tripped" or something.

That's true but I could've rolled over:



Not Photoshopped or tampered in any way.

 

[inferno]

Yeah but the Ranger/Explorer is know to do that.

However I applaud your bravery (or something like that) for going that fast in one of those in real life. And on firestones none the less!

"tripped" or something? So how often do sports cars and sedans get "tripped or something. Maybe getting "tripped or something is inherant to SUVs because of their higher center of gravity. Cars can snag stuff w/ their tires too while drifting sideways. The difference is that the higher center of gravity increases the vehicles ability to rollover in just this kind of a situation. In fact, many studies have shown that statistically, there are more deaths in SUVs than passenger cars. So the idea that having more metal around you makes you more safe is bunk.

So you're telling me that there should be a new SUV road racing series started? If so, that is ONE of the stupidest things I have ever heard in this forum. SUV's are not made to excel in carving through switchbacks. Now stations wagons, yes they are low to the ground, and are lighter weight, so they can make good sporting vehicles. SUV's do not. Sure, BMW and Porsche make SUVs, but they are still SUVs. I just saw a picture in one of the car mags of a Chevy Trailblazer SS being tested on the Nurburgring, WOW. I am amazed at what the car manufacturers are making. However, my Infinity G35 sedan 6MT would take ANY SUV on ANY road or race track. Especially at any speeds over 80MPH, where the fact that SUVs create a great deal more drag makes a huge difference. On the topic of high speed driving, last time I checked SUVs have more ground clearance, which means more room for air to go under them, thereby creating more lift at high speeds. Next time I drive on the Autobahn, it will be in a sedan, not an SUV. I wonder why ?!?!? In addition, SUVs are heavier, which means slower responses all around, and most importantly POOR BRAKING!

So since you are the kind of person who thinks you can "race just about anything", are one of the people who goes out and races lawn tractors?

I never said SUV's were as safe as cars, I just said that typicaly (Sorry...studies have shown) when SUV's roll, aggresive driving isn't the main cause. They can be driven aggresively. In other words, "they can be raced".

So you're telling me that there should be a new SUV road racing series started?

No. But why not?

Your point is? I never said SUV's perform equaly to cars. I simply said "they can be raced"

So since you are the kind of person who thinks you can "race just about anything", are one of the people who goes out and races lawn tractors?

No. However, "They can be raced"

Any further questions? If so, I'd advise we move this to PM.

Yeah, I think Escalades are cool. Great race cars, very enjoyable to drive and looks cool on the track. You know what's the best thing about Escalades in the next GT? Well it's... are you nuts? Hell no would I want to see Escalades in the game. It is a luxury SUV with no real specification towards racing. Why would you want to race these? What, you want that luxury SUV from Mercedes that costs $70K+ too? Not going to happen, not a good racing machine, splash some cold water in your face. No one wants to race a Cadillac SUV unless you loved them in NFS:U2 or Midnight Club 3. Only Cadillac I'd rather race is the Cadillac LMP race cars and MAYBE the CTS-V Speed World Challenge car. But an Escalade? I don't dig.

 

[wheelow]

OMG no.

We might as well just ask for F-16's too, so we can just bomb the competition with laser guided bombs, and win the race.

 

[Nitroboy24]

*Punches himself in the face*

 

[JohnBM01]

If you want SUVs in the next Gran Turismo, the only hope you'll have is seeing racing machines like in the Paris-Dakar Rally. Vans are fine, some SUVs are fine, but not Escalades, not Naivigators... I'd rather off-road a Hummer than Escalade.

 

[356C]

No. However, "They can be raced"

I know Lawn tractors can be raced, that's why I mentioned it. My obvious point was that racing them is just as dumb as racing Escalades.
