What's your project car in gran turismo?
What's that car you wish you had in your actual garage? The one in real life, The one you feel passionate for that is in the game GT. The one you will all ways pull out on online races, either to show off, or to practice with, finely tune to your liking of what you deem as perfect.

I have the Nissan 240sx as my project car.

I've had in real life a 1989 Nissan 240sx before, and my engine seized on me one day, before selling it, I was contemplating buying a SR20DET, but due to a fund situation, it was not possible.

Thanks to Gt, I got to experience this feeling finally... Due to it's already incorrect specs, my 240sx all ready comes with the 2liter turbo engine producing that 200hp
I dreamt about. I made it my own, and i own couple the same, and every other orientation of it.
I have everything JDM that I can think of that I want to be as my project car(already have 770cars in my garage, 550ish just JDM)

I photo EVERY car I touch!

What's your project car?
 
I have a few, as in cars that I actually try to tune rather than upgrade all the way... Problem is I don't really know what I'm doing with suspension tuning so it's kind of limited. My favourite project has to be my Tom's X540 Chaser but I also have a 300ZX, an Evo IV and a few others from months ago that I stopped caring about. I'm looking for another, I might make the premium EK Civic Type R another project of mine.

I've just realised I haven't changed the rims on my X540 since the update, that's something to look forward to!
 
Audi RS6 Avant fully beefed up with aeros - sorry aero police - yes it's beautiful without any spoilers but its about the handling. Love racing it in the Seasonal Dream Car Cup at Spa and blowing away the competition in a 'family estate' car! Magic! It also gets me up to 6th in the nurb - circuit tours seasonal.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I've got countless numbers of project cars. Every other day there's a new car that captures my interest. I probably realistically have about 50 of them. The ones I come back to the most often are the one's I struggle with. Tuning an Evo IV or VI is challenging.
 
Have to say i'm really feeling the Lancia Stratos right now, tuned to 450pp and sports softs on the 'ring... It's bloody hard work but so rewarding when you get it right, you're on the edge of control at all times!
 
I've got a ton of what most might call 'project cars' in my tuning garage. Thinking next of adopting the BMW M Coupe I currently have...
 
Id take a corvette zr1 from my virtual garage into my real garage.

Id also take my 06 cadillac cts-V from my real garage to my virtual garage.
 
My Mazda MPS. I have the Speed3 version. It's one of my favorite cars, and I'm lucky that I get to drive it every day. I wish they would do this one in premium.
 
My lancer, I am mostly done buying the upgrades for it (its at give or take 500 hp), I plan to improve the suspension and gear ratios next, those Ferrari's shall be toast.
 
There is a yellow and black 71' Mustang Mach 1 that someone drives around in my town and it is jaw-dropping. :drool:
 
For me it is the Subaru Impreza 22B. But I have actually made the car match my Impreza as closely as possible.

I have a Impreza P1 which is a limited edition 2 door Impreza , that was built by Prodrive and was designed by Gorden Murry , just like the 22B was.

With the 22B in game , I have changed the wheels and the wheel colour to match the OZ's I have on my real life car , I have also tuned the engine in game to match the 322bhp my P1 produces.

I've put a close ratio 5 speed box on the 22B to match my P1 and I have made the gear ratios match too.

With the cars weight I haved had to play about with it a little bit so they both match , the exhaust has been changed to try and emulate the Blitz NUR spec I run in real life. It is shame the games sounds are so utterly rubbish as it's one thing people have always loved about my car.

I have been spending a bit of time getting the feel of the car in game to match how my car feels in life as the car in game tends to under steer way more than my actual P1 does , but with Soft sports that are properly warmed up , it is getting there.

I am using the 22B to learn the 24 hour ring layout and it's also managed to get me to respect racing lower PP cars and finally has stopped me just going for LMP/LM rooms. I am enjoying the game so much more now I have something to relate to my own pride and joy.

Here is a pic of my pride and joy in real life :D

HEY, someone stole my car!!!:)

I love this thing, all my friends HATE it because it's so fast. Gotta love putting a personal touch on it with the racing number and a custom paint chip.

Only one of my friends beat me in this car and he got lucky... I crashed on the last corner of nurburgring and finished 0.5 seconds behind him in his Impreza touring car.

Nice car bro, I have always like the Impreza. the new ones, not so much, but the older ones are cool.
 
Thank you , the company Pro-Drive who did all the Rally cars for the Subaru works team are based in Banbury , Oxfordshire , which is 15 mins away from me. Ever since Richard Burns and Colin McRae drove and won the WRC title in these , I have had a liking for them.

There is some real satifaction being able to beat most 911's on the roads with ease :D
 
'10 SS Camaro. Id have one if I had the money... Supercharged, exhaust kit, lowered, ECU Upgrade... Nice and tidy, not over the top, not too under-the-radar...
