I mentioned the Ford Falcon XR8 V8 Supercar in GT4. Racing it around El Capitan in Arcade Mode with Racing Mediums and TCS, this thing is killer. And since you have an Australian automobile, you got to love that Australian engine roar. Its sound in GT4 is much improved from GT3. I think it actually sounds like a V8 Supercar like when I seen Australian V8 races on Speed Channel. That distinctive roar and grunt has been captured pretty well. Supercar? I'd say so. In my thread about Australian cars in GT4, I heard the JOSS Supercar mentioned. Maybe we can see that in GT5. But from what I've seen, the Australian Fords are pretty cool. The Holden machines aren't bad. The only one you have to unlock is the Commodore SS, which is usually the Ford Falcon's rival in the Australian V8 Supercar Series.
The Nike One 2022 is a pretty weird concept car. Not weird in the sense of Nike designing the sneakers you may own, the footballs you kick on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday Night, anything like that. But weird in the sense of the fact that... Nike designed something like this. After seeing a replay of my machine in action at Special Stage Route 5, I finally got to see how the heck you control this thing. To position yourself in the car, you'll have to get on this thing like some drag racing bikes I've seen in FIA Drag Racing in Europe. Those two joystick-looking things is what you use to hold on tight. The way you manuver around in it kind of makes you wonder. If it was NOT a Special Car, I wonder if that dude (who controls the car) would get real tired. Like, imagine if it did 100 laps at Tokyo R246 like in GT3. It would need a strong man to race that thing and not feel remotely tired. I'd imagine if the driver had the physique of WWE superstar Triple H, or some other hard-bodied male figure, it would take a pretty fit person to race this thing. Of course, I thought this was going to be Gran Turismo's version of "Wipeout Fusion," but unlock this thing and race it. It's a totally unreal experience.
Quickly, the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse is actually pretty powerful and handles almost like a four-wheel drive car. When I tested the 2006 Eclipse around Hong Kong, it handled very well. There were no real issues with the car's handling. Say what you want about its looks, but mount some Sport Mediums on it, and you get a 263hp beast that's actually pretty capable and can really hold its own. Doesn't matter what color, but it looks pretty cool in VU Blue and that deep red color.

Well, what kind of really surprised me is that not only was it one of the first four-wheeled cars, it has two gears. So perhaps the first real transmission was invented with this car, and it goes at a great top speed- 12 MPH! Hell, I walk or even run at these speeds! My acceleration is probably faster, speaking as a pretty good runner. It's not like I'm a running back playing for the University of Southern California or Auburn, but it is a pretty nice machine. It also has headlights. By the time you unlock both Daimler Patent automobiles, race them in Arcade Mode. I think that they will get you to appreciate how far the automobile has come. You don't have to like classic cars in order to appreciate this, as I primarily think that these two old Mercedes-Benz machines are there for educational purposes. How can you learn to appreciate automobiles if you cannot have any respect for machines like these?
