Isn't that what makes GT fun, the fact that you can race those two cars together, even though they are not built to compete with each other?
I want to see some real bentlys not just prototype race car versions. I also wish for more mustangs. They should have added the GT500 K.R. mustang and some saleens and roushes or at the very least, Had the Cobra R as premium and modeled the tail lights right....
What's the big deal with creating a car that can outhandle the M3? The car is from 2007. Does it take three years to create a car than can outhandle it?
I know there's a lot of people upset with the lack of variety of cars in this game, but my issues stem from the American side of things.
I can't believe these cars have been left out of the game...
- 1957 Cadillac El Dorado
- 1969 Pontiac GTO "The Judge"
- 1970 Buick GSX
- 1967 Dodge Coronet Super Bee
- 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302
- 1970 Ford Torino Cobra
There's more on my list that escape me right now, but I was disappointed to find the lack of those cars in the game.
(and yes, I know, first post, and yes I know there's topics about the car list but I haven't seen much of an outcry for American cars)
Lack of bmw!
I've been using American Champ. Laguna Seca as my grinder lately, Indy puts me to sleep, for the same 117K Cr. and the US as some very good cars.
The Panoz Esperante GTR-1 and Corvette C5R are among the best handling cars in the game. They simply go where you point them and stick like glue. About 6:38-6:40 race times.
The Viper SRT10 ACR with 1021 hp is the most powerful US car and a blast to drive at Laguna Seca. It has mild downforce so there is enough slip to keep it interesting but not so bad that you can't do fast laps. It does 176 mph on the downhill straight and gets air every time. Will run the race in 6:34.
The Cadillac Cien is faster than you would think around Laguna. It's top speed at Sarthe is 259 mph but it's not fast off the line. There is mid level adjustable downforce front and back, pretty easy to drive fast and I think does the race in about 6:48-6:50 area.
Of course the ZR-1 RM is fast, turns and sticks well and does around 6:32 times.
The fastest US car on all tracks except Indy, Daytona and maybe High Speed Ring is the Chaparral 2J. There is slippage involved so it makes it fun and interesting. Expect sub 6:25 times.
Americans miss the point of the m3 and m5, not even sports cars, so much more and so much more impressive equipment.lets not even start on build quality.
Lack of mcdonalds.
When I start my car in the morning and my kitchen walls are shaking i know im going to have a good day. The only thing a Japanese car is going to be shaking is it's own heat shield rattling off.
Well, that's a self imposed handycap. Chevy just got someone else to do the work, seemed like a good idea.I think it's a big deal because it's a live-axle Mustang, which most people would think could not do such a thing.
Lack of mcdonalds.
Probably that it offers a very comfortable every day ride and could be considered a quite luxurious car?Ok sir, what point are we missing? Educate us, please.
Blasphemy.
SO many good American cars, many listed in this thread alone. Not sporty at all? Not particularly interesting? Why, cause they can't be compared to a Lamborghini or Ferrari? What's your definition of "sporty"?
I would like to add to the list:
- All the 2.2L Turbo Dodges from the 80's (GLHS, etc)
- Early 90's 5.0L Mustangs
- So many late 60's, early 70's muscle cars still missing. (Dart, Cougar, etc)
Explain why the new 5.0L Mustang is faster around a track than the new M3? What kind of American cars have you been driving your whole life? Ford Festiva?
Europe is better represented in GT than the Americans. Both sides need more cars. Europeans have great race cars and sporty cars and what have you. However America isn't properly represented. I love how you people complain about American cars can't turn in a game like GT where it would be as simple as tuning it to get to turn drift or outrun almost whatever you want it to. Cadillacs, Pontiacs, Saturns, 80's and late 70's era Muscle cars. What about tuning companies? I don't see many american tuning companies that are featured that would be equal to say RUF, Nismo or AMG? Wheres Ford Racing? Mopar? Saleen? Hennessy? A viper that can outrun a Veyron to 255? You're going to tell me you wouldn't want that? For that matter, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO VECTOR AEROMOTIVE? An American car company that could stand toe to toe with machines that both the Euros and the Japanese could put out at the time. What about tested experiments? Thhe Mustang GT-R? What about the Chrysler Firepower or the ME-4.12? What happened? Why not Buick? You're going to put in a Land Rover and an Audi SUV and then throw a fit because the Americans want a few luxury machines in there too? What about some of the Hyundai and KIA cars? Not American but they should be in there too? We want more cars. You got a problem with the American rides? Lets see you hop into that CTR-3 and go against a Saleen S7 Twin Turbo? Or maybe grab that AMG SL and put it toe to toe with a Lingenfelter Corvette? I don't know if its fear of getting upstaged or if its just ignorance. American car companies are that stupid. We just like certain things. The world is going into a mass technological stage. Forgive us if we still like the more mechanical aspect of out machines. We have plenty of regulars from Europe and Japan. Korea, America and most definitely Australia, need better representation. If you got a problem with that, too bad. The last time the US was well represented was GT2. With more cars and better tech, more machines from different countries will make it into the game. If the American's have to apparently put up with (as apparently someone is forcing players to look at or purchase these machines) Subaru 360s or Fiat 500s, then I'm sure everyone else can put up with seeing a Cadillac CTS-V. I'm not commenting on some other countries like Australia or Korea, because they haven't really been represented fully. A few cars here and there. There will be more American cars, as there will be more Japanese cars and there will be more European cars, but seriously, don't get all anal retentive just because someone wants to have more cars from a place you may not agree with. Some American cars can't turn, But the newer boys, the Corvette, Mustang and Viper, are more than capable of dealing with corners. So seriously, you got a problem, eat it. Because there's nor reason why there shouldn't be a wider array of cars. If you don't like the way it handles then tune it. If you can't tune, learn how. If you refuse to learn how, settle for the back of the pack. 'Nough Said.
Don't forget the following:
- Caliber SRT4

+1 I really love all of the 2.2/2.5 Turbo Mopars!!!R1600TurboI would like to add to the list:
- All the 2.2L Turbo Dodges from the 80's (GLHS, etc)
Hmm, I doubt it is faster and even if it is true the M3 always gets a faster brother like the CSL or GTR which will cook about anything on a track. They start with a "Normal" M3's and bring out much faster versions later on.
