It's definately not a Supra. That just makes me throw up. :lol:

The Aston Martin Vanquish is a little far-fetched, too. Blake and I thought maybe a Ferrari Marinello, don't know.

I always thought it was supposed to be a Supra even if it doesn't always look like one. You can after all mod it at Wheel Arch Angels along with all the other "import/japanese/probably-made-by-mybutsu" cars :)

As a car I don't like it at all, seems to wide, lacks the grunt of the other sportscars and feels like it has a FF drivetrain at times.
 
I like the Cardrona. It's a real sleeper that one. Looks like nothing special but there seems to be a nice V8 in that one. The car is way faster then it looks, nice handling and it sounds great too. Unfortunatly it's not to common otherwise it would be a great all-rounder.
 
Jester is a Supra. The back is closet to the Supra type, along with the body style seen from the side. I say its a Supra.


And OMFG! The Cheetah can be riced! NO!!!!

Don't ask how! Just....don't ASK!
 
I've already tuned the Cheetah it looked nice. As for the Jester, it has little details resembling the Supra but I couldn't confirm it was mean't by R*. What is the Cardrona?
 
No idea. Its an ok car.

BTW, a tip for finding a cool car in LS. Drive a nice car, like a Comet. Drive a Comet around DT, and eventually, an Infernus may pop up. Worked for me.
 
I see so many Turismos and Infernus running around in LV I just don't have interest in them.
 
Has anyone ever spotted the Hustler, Phoenix, Primo, Nebula, Cadrona, Buccaneer, Vincent,Intruder, or even Merit?

These cars seem rare to me.
 
First of all, cars spawning is random. Rockstar has talked about this before, and no cars "trigger" other cars. Cars will spawn at absolute random.

Secondly, the Jester is NOT a Supra. I agree that the rear taillights are similar to a Supras, but that's where the similarities stop. I can NOT see how the body is even close to a Supra.
 
For me, the Buccaneer, Merit and Hustler are common. I've seen the Cadrona a few times. Seen the Primo a few times. Cars aren't really rare as such, it's just you won't see alot of cars frequently until you have played this game ALOT. I do agree, however, that the Phoenix is rare.
 
I don't know about the cars trigger another car thing. Seriously. There are times when you get in a car and you see another car. You get in another car in the car isn't spawning. You get in the other car and the other car spawns again. Hope I didn't lose you there Jimmy.

I just noticed another game I wanted to get is Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War
 
I think the front is normal in length compared to a Supra, but the back is almost compact. If you look at a Supra, it has a protruding rear. This is more of a 550 Marinello sort of car. The back is almost the same as a Cheetah, if not identical, in length.

Also, the front looks nothing like a Supra. I really think you have either the GTA car mixed up with another car, you have the Supra mixed up with something in real life, or you don't know Supras at all. Sorry, I just see hardly any resemblance.
 
You may not see one, but I do. I do agree it is a bit compact making the front look wrong, but I still think the basic structure is Supra. Maybe not all of the exterior, but the basic structure.
 
Well yes, long nose and short rear. That's about it that has the "structure" look of a Supra. Just a basic shape.

If you rice it out at W.A.A. it looks a lot more like a Supra, the one from The fast and the furious to be more specific. Which is what I think R* had in mind.
 
Maybe, but I have a Supra that parks across the road from my house, I see it every day, to me the Jester looks absolutely nothing like it.

Also, another vote. Just having a discussion about the Super GT. I agree with the List on the previous page that it's a Lotus Esprit-style car, Blake says it's more like a Supra than the Jester. Anyone want to join in and have their say?
 
I always figured the Super GT to be a Mitsubishi GTO/GT 3000 because of the name, its size and general shape. But it's more like a GTO mixed with a Supra then anything else, well it seems that way to me at least.

Its rock hard suspension still doesn't stop it from bottoming out (all the time) if you drive it hard. Nice car but its not something I like using in car chases.
 
Super GT is a Venturi 400 GT in real life.Want proof?
Well here it is:

 
nice!! good to see, thats a nice car, too bad the super GT oversteers more than the elergy

One of the street races is done in a Super GT and it's a pain trying to control the oversteer when cornering. I've yet to win the race after about 20 attempts. Bah.

Name: Packer
How to get it: Any docks in any of the 3 cities
How it drives: Like ****
What it's use is: The feature everyone wanted in VC is now available in SA! Packing cars. Now here comes the bad part. It can't pack cars well. If you stop hard like most of us do in driving in any of the GTA games they fall off the packer. The packer is only good bikes.
Verdict: Happy you can pack cars but they need to refine it with some kind of locking system.
 
The front of the Super GT looks like a modified MR2 to me, and the back....reminds me of a Mustang in a very strange way.

What do you guys like? Targa or Coupe Super GT?

Love how some cars have different styles...like the Mesa!

I changed my mind. The front is modified MR2 type car, and back is Venturi.
 
And the FCR-900 has an old look and a one like a street bike. Lots of bikes and cars have different styles.

YOu serious!? I thought I saw an FCR-900 in LS. But when I saw it, it looked like a PCJ-600, so I disregarded it. Wasn't until I lost it that I new it couldn't have been.

Dang!
 
If you heard a bike that sounded like a nice V8 was in it yes that was an FCR-900 the PCJ-600 sounds no different then from VC. You can tell you have heard a 900 when you hear one.
