well, go ahead... tell me why you hate it so much... you know who i'm talking about... what's to hate in a car so tossable, so light, so fun to drive?
 
*gasp of breath* You're right, I'm converted... :rolleyes: Who could have missed those flowing, sensual lines oozing seduction, grace and power?

Answer: Anyone with eyes.

It might look better when it's finished. Do you have an 'after' pic? :D

Ahem... it is finished... you know, once you realise how much weight a carbon fiber hood (or bonnet, as you weirdos down there call it :rolleyes: ) can save, you'd stop arguing about it...

i wonder what you find ugly in a car like that, after all, you owned an Austin Allegro... :p
 
For what it's worth I like it. But don't toast me - I can't help but love any car with a carbon "hood". That's serious.

N1SMO ;)
 
damn. Didn't come up on my screen, what a shame. Let me guess- was it boxy, angular, pointy, aerodynamic as a shoebox and just plain FUGLY by any remote chance? :rolleyes:

PUNKROCK-"you know, once you realise how much weight a carbon fiber hood (or bonnet, as you weirdos down there call it ) can save, you'd stop arguing about it... " and I thought you Canadians were famous for your sense of humour...? oh no... that was... er... ahem.. :p

... <sigh>...it's always the people who borrowed the English language who complain about it the most (and yes, I am quite aware that you speak French too, merci) ;)


stop worrying about us punks, we're just a bunch of kids... blah... blah........ :p :p :p

i think they're the same... big and ugly.
 
I guess sarcasm is a lost art, then...?

PS it's spelt NEANDERTHAL ;)

IT's - LIKE - A - JOKE!!!! (you know, ...FUN? D'ya have that where you live?)
 
I think it would be a fun car to drive... Granted, I think I dumped waaaay too much money at it in the game (yep well over 250K) but in real life, it would be a blast.....plus it wouldn't draw attention to itself like say a Lambo or a Viper. I would have to rate the Trueno my #1 favorite grocery getter of all the hatch backs... :D

From where I come it's neandertal... please respect it :D
 
I hear you can four wheel drift a supermarket trolley pretty well...

...don't hate, grocery classic...! ;) :D

Look, can those people who keep sticking up for the Trueno stop please. It's getting embarassing, a joke's a joke! Let's just stop before someone who knows nothing about cars see's this and thinks you're serious. The reputation of the forum is at stake!

If people want to bring their vinyl fetish out onto the streets, then let them. They can wear it, sleep on it, go to 'exclusive' clubs for it, even cover their bonnets/hoods in it.

...just don't expect us not to laugh! :lol:
 
i gotta say it was my choice for my starter car.best horses for the price.
isn`t there a racing version on gt2?
 
I don't know why everyone hates the Trueno...:confused: Basing your level of respect for a car on looks is stupid IMO(if I did that, I'd have ZERO respect for Vipers, Mustangs, Camaros, GT-40's, Corvettes, etc). The Trueno is one of my favorite cars in GT3. It's an awesome car especially if you actually spend some time on it instead of griping about it. It's kinda odd that it's a huge POS; yet I can beat cars with 3 times as much HP with it through the "twisties"...:thatsodd:
 
Wooohooo, shingenko version or whatver. Looks like super realistic GT3 graphics, howed you get to a parking lot in Seattle? :D

J/K

I like the cars, but the Miatas a tad better IMO, so that's what I use. The Tureno has 3 versions, red, white, and Shingenko.

The Miata has a ton, '89, '93, RS, LS, then you get into the options, VR/Limited A & B, '89 Hard top, and then the colors....
 
the minicoop will ter up the Trueno. And will beat it in the twisties as well. :D seriously lets stop defending this bucket!
 
ah, so now we get down to it- everyone has an opinion, unless it's against the Trueno. Where are all the Levinlovers then? That's just as bad but without the pop-ups. PunkRock doesn't like the Corvette- one opinion. Josh doesn't like any American cars- another opinion. Opinions are like a**holes; everyone has one :D that's life...

GEARBRAIN- yes there was, and that was toss, too :eek:

If your opinions are like a**holes, then they must stink!! :eek:

Talking of a**holes, it's a shame DP's missing this, I'm sure he'd have a rational and diplomatic comment to make. :D
 
at the end of the day, the number of UNATTRACTIVE cars available outweighs the number of ATTRACTIVE ones, in the real world. Actually, that's like women really, only beer helps on that score. Not in cars, though- they might look prettier to start with, but not after you've stuck 'em over a wall. Women, on the other hand.... :rolleyes:

a***... axle? You tramp... :p

Only after a few :drink: ! :D

An explanation to mates the day after a drinking session: ...I went to bed last night with a Ferrari. When I woke up she was a bloody Trueno!... :eek:
 
Damn! I don't look at the forum for a few hours and look what comes up! Well, in my opinion the Trueno is cheap, nicely balanced, has great handling can be tuned as much as you like and can go most places sideways. They are the reasons I love it, however, the design is very dated now and the carbonfibre/vinyl bonnet (or hood, whatever you weirdos call it), while it may reduce weight, looks a bit daft on the road. The thing is though, while I really like the car, I have a sense of humour and can see the funny side of the car, I therefore have no reservations about me or anyone else ripping the piss out of it :D
 
Hoorah! I'm going to have a few more of these :drink:

...they're going down nicely! :D
