Have you ever thought :

1- What chassis and engine does the Gillet Vertigo use ?
2- What is the engine of the Zonda ?
3- What does "LM" stand for ?
4- What is the Panoz body and engine based upon ? (Seems to me it is a badly twisted warped and metamorphosed Viper)
5- What V12 does the Lister use ?
6- Can you really soup up a real-life Skyline to 1041 Hp ???

Also :

Did you ever notice that when you play from outside view, your car looks bigger than the opponents. For example, the tiny MX-5 looks bigger than a Chrysler PT Cruiser which is way bigger than it...

I wish to find a decent truck race at GT3's quality... Imagine huge DAF, Volvo and Merc trucks thundering on the tracks of GT3...
(Kazunori-San did yoýu hear that ?) :D

Okay...
1- Pretty sure the chassis is in-house. The engines are a Ford Cosworth (the old 2 litre turbo) or the Alfa Romeo 3 litre V6
2- The Zonda runs a Mercedes Benz V12
3- LM - Le Mans
4- I think the Panoz is a Reynard design, basically a champ car going backwards. It runs a huge Ford V8
5- Jaguar V12
6- Yup - but they're rather unpleasant to drive and the engines don't last very long.
 
Gillet Vertigo uses the Renault Clio Sport engine. That is what it says in the game anyway.

There are some insane japanese kamikaze pilots out there that like modding there skylines to 1000+ bhp. There's even a 1/4 mile drag series just for skylines where they do 9 second quarter mile runs on standard tires. I've seen a few vids and there insane!! :cool:

The Vertigo ran the Ford Cosworth 2 litre turbo up until 1998, and then changed to the Alfa 3 litre V6

The scary thing is the only one I had to 'Google' was the Zonda - I couldn't remember whose V12 it was - I knew it wasn't theirs.
