It's illogical to try to make a 3000 hp car out of a 2 horsepower car. (Yes, 2CV is French for 2HP.)

Except that the 2CV always had way more horsepower than 2, otherwise it wouldn't have moved at all.
The '2CV' name is an abbreviation for Deux Chevaux Vapeur or 'two steam horses', which is actually a technical legal term from the French tax code. France taxes automobiles based on their engine output, and the 2CV was designed to fall into the '2 horsepower' tax class.

I thought it was originally only supposed to have 2 hp, and then they added a bit more, upon finding that it didn't move. But, I knew the Deux Chevaux part; I'm fluent in French. :D I just didn't know they added a "Vapeur" at the end. :dopey:
 
As an option from the dealerships, Chevy will put a C6 bumper on a C7 Corvette, according to the person who's posting that. I think it's a reply to my "I wonder if they'll make the C7 Corvette modifiable" comment.

Edit: My exact wording was "DLC could be changes to Corvette Stingray (tuning)"

Exactly. I mean, the spoiler on the FR-S/86 GT is a dealer offered option, so why not something for the C7?
 
I predict.......

Maintenance.

NEVER!!!! Bite your tongue mister!

I'm guessing it has something to do with the big hoopty-do in NY on the 20th.

Anyone know if SpikeTV will be televising the event? GeeFur sure won't, they've put the kibosh on their gaming stuff, what a pity.
 
I expect an NFS CoD GTA mode, just online, to keep the bad players out on one side, and actual racers on the other side. :sly: Oh, and Porsches.

Joking aside, it's probably for the hacks people have been passing around, like the Civic we've seen go 300+ MPH.
 
Wouldn't it be crazy if these 2 maintenance sessions turn out to be..

2 maintenance sessions?
 
For those of us that like to race online- it is broken.

It is a shame I got so pissed off on the 3rd page- cause I'm sure there will be plenty more before I get to the end (5th page) of this thread.

They have got to fix the PP of those FR cars and the Ruf 3400s that they broke. :grumpy: They just have to.

What he said. The PP changes have basically taken every car out of race contention. If you aren't in one of the altered cars, you might as well not bother.

I will indeed do the maths!

Okay all tangents aside I don't know why people are posting wish lists and the like, getting yourselves all excited over a maintenance is just setting yourselves up for disappointment.

Expect nothing and get surprised when there is something.

I implore all of you to stop hyping yourselves up because although two maintenances in a row like this is odd, it's no guarantee that anything will happen.
 
I think rather then trying not to disappoint yourselves, you actually come up with reasonable guesses.
 
Chill guys, it's just Bathurst.
haha great post, honestly.

I think rather then trying not to disappoint yourselves, you actually come up with reasonable guesses.

👍 for example - more a-spec races, more tracks, more cars - some of which ARE reasonable. I think people need to look at this forum for what it is, which is sharing opinions and stating facts (I'm the fact checker for the most part :().
Everybody, just carry on. If you have any negative sort of statement/observation to make, maybe try to be reasonable and keep it from affecting a thread that shouldn't concern you considering your stance on the "subject". Live and let live, eh?

This isn't the wrong thread to be posting what we think the next maintenance will bring (or break :/ great skepticism coming from people who have no idea what they're talking about [most of the time]). :)

off-topic or not, my post pertains to everything crappy that happens here on GTP/

I'm no saint by the way. I'm saying it how I've seen it over the last two months since I've stopped fact checking every single crap statement that someone dares to make.
 
First time off...Kaz telling us to get present for girlfriends...
14th, be with you girlfriends guys, 3hours at least!
 
I think we can safely agree unanimously that we all want a new Super GT lineup plus other liveries for the Honda HSV, don't we?...don't we?... :dopey:

I'd be on board with that. If I wasn't amongst the group of pessimists that believe the maintenance will be just that, maintenance. :ouch:

That was for the reveal. Standard silver wheels for racing.

I figured as much, but as I said I think the car would look a lot nicer with dark rims.

I'm a massive fan of V8 supercars so I'm trying not to think about the lack of them in GT5 too much :lol:
