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.

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:

Gillet Vertigo uses the Renault Clio Sport engine. That is what it says in the game anyway.

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.
