I have a small car dealership in new england about double gt7s amount of cars for sale.. I've had alot of really cool cars over the years but i currently have a mk5 diesel vw with borg warner upgrade..In the summer months i have a 96 jetta with a nice little 90s Greddy turbo kitted 2.0 i drive whenever the trans isnt blown to pieces .. This game needs to bring back 2004 r32s any Awd volkswagons golf R, s4, urs4, oh and some cosworth products escorts,, mercedes evolution , cosworth swaps for the older race cars would be wicked cool
 
I drive an Elantra Eco. It's most definitely not in GT7. Fun little car though. Turbo and a dual clutch gearbox. Makes a really great sound when you give it a lot of gas.

Wow, I feel like a pleb posting my car in here... I drive my 2018 Green 900cc petrol Nissan Micra econobox, nice little car to drive around town and has amazing fuel economy and pays the minimum road tax. For a guy that earns just above the minimum wage, can't ask for much more.

But where I work, I have driven many cars that are and will be in the game such as:

The new 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S and the new GT3

370Z & yes. Except mine does not spin when I apply throttle like the GT7 version, LOL.
Same! If it drove like it does in GT7 I would have got rid of it long ago. Thankfully the real 370Z is far more controlled and predictable to drive than PD's "real driving simulator" would have us believe!

Reminds me of in my younger days i would be at a car auction at the old GM plant in framingham MA looking for 1000$ beaters to flip ..They happen to HAVE a 1/2 MILE STRIP IN THE BACK,needless too say countless ferraris,evos ,porsches, wrxs, m6, m3,etc where thoroughly put through there paces. Was always fun and games until the guy who bought the car happens to see you lmao a few were pretty pissed at me i was young though and they were all rich old guys so they all brushed it off luckily haha
 
I drive a 2018 Subaru Impreza that is not in the game and probably shouldn't be. It's a fun drive because of the handling but doesn't have much get up and go. Then again, past games in the series had my old car, a Pontiac Vibe, that I never expected to see in a racing game.

One of my friends owns and races a BRZ, the older one in the game is one model year off from his and I should really try and set it up like his and do my best to replicate his livery.

Is the Micra a lot like the Versa? Idk, when I get a new car, I want it to be good on gas and have power windows and I do not desire anything else. A CD player, I guess. Maybe I should just go look for a 2003 Civic with reasonable mileage.
 
2010 Evo X SE. I bought it 5 years ago, basically brand new, 11 miles on the clock, with the plastic still on the seats. I didn't necesarilly want the TC-SST, but for what I paid, I couldn't pass it up. 40k miles later, COBB stage 3, with AMS intercooler and Cobb upper and lower intercooler pipes. Tuned to ≈340hp/370lb/ft at the wheels, it's a blast. Yes it's in the game, minus the TC-SST.

Yeah I agree the new line of all-screen dashboards with MBUX and interior ambient lights from Mercedes looks really great! The promo pics of the new CLA back in 2019 sold me and that test drive in the A class was the confirmation. I already drove the 1st gen CLA for a week (replacement car) and the difference between both gens is huge (also in driving comfort).

I‘m sure the new GLA will be amazing, I looked at the GLA back in 2019 as well but that was the previous gen and I didn’t look further at it because of that reason.
This is the GLA we bought https://www.mercedes-benz.co.uk/pas...&utm_source=onlinecode_email&utm_medium=email
 
I remember this thread from the Gran Turismo 6 days. Here’s my post from January 1, 2014…
A quick clarification. The closest Skyline GT6 has is a GTST, mine is a GTS4 (4WD) but they are cosmetically identical. The real car's wheels ar knock off's of Advantis, so I put some real ones on the car in GT. For some reason you can't remove the wing :(.

The 300zx I used is a late model 2 seater because there is no convertible and mine will eventually have a late model front bumper (it's coming from Japan) and maybe other bits. The wheels are PD's generic 5 spokes. Close enough to the real car's Rays LMGT4 wheels. The colour is chocolate brown from Mini, pretty close actually :)

The 86 in GT6 is a GTS (different wheels). So anyway...

Siccily is as close as I could get to a big gravel pad :lol:

The GT shots are quite dark and the sun's in the wrong place, but apart from that I'm pretty happy how close they are :)

EDIT: Quick disclaimer. I used paint.net to get all three in the top pic. We can't have three cars in photomode... yet ;)
What’s changed? We’ll pretty much my entire life. I have a wife and a baby (and another on the way!) The Zed is now a twin turbo 5 speed. The Skyline was sold years ago, Replaced with a shed built Chrysler 300C track car. The blue 86 was replaced with a grey one many moons ago.

Though I do miss my old cars from time to time. Especially the R32. Can you believe I sold it for like $3k to a guy doing dirt circuit racing 🤦‍♂️

I have:
1991 E30 318iS, kinda in game
2001 E46 330Ci, kinda in game
2008 E61 535iT, not in game
2004 Impreza 2.5rs, kinda in game.
1991 BMY ex-military 5 ton 6x6 troop transport, definitely not in game, lol
 
Sadly my car is not in the game and I would forgive all the games faults if they included it. My weekend project is a '90 Lotus Esprit SE. Closest, Engine wise, but some notable differences(no charge cooler/different transmission) was from GT4 with the '87 HC and closest, body wise, was GT2 with the '98 SE but still some differences in body work and a V8. Performance wise it falls closer to the V8, at least when chipped so I would be ok if they brought back the 98 but would much prefer to see the turbo 4 and windowed hatch.

This is my daily Commuter, my BMW 530D F10, I bought it back in 2015 with just 37.500 km on the clock. It’s a 2014 Series.
8 Gear Automatic ZF Transmission smooth as silk.
Very good on Fuel Economy too.
I‘ll keep it until the End of its Days.

Ohhhh, me likey🙂
Does it have synchro on 1st & 2nd? (I used to scare people around Bielefeld in a big Bedford with no synchro on 1st or 2nd)
It's got an Alison auto trans, so kinda...😁
just it's size typically scares people. it gets lots of looks.

Edit for pics.
the other trucks have a 6-7" lift for some size comparisons.

2016 Fiesta ST2, not in the game... but im ok with that

Sad that didn’t. It won over just about anyone who drove one, many went out and bought one after reviewing the car. I understand why the focus made it, but strange the fiesta didn’t.
 
Nice to see an other GTR R32. I own one too, KH2 too haha

Nice. Don't think I've ever seen one with Z33 wheels on it. You guys up north have had these for awhile, no?
Not been seen since GT6, hopefully will make a return in GT7. Actually hope they include the Challenger Hellcat Redeye instead.

Seriously doubt they will ever add a Dakota RT, but this is more my daily, and the Challenger is for nicer days. The Dakota does have a manual transmission swap, and a Procharger.

Noticed the Dragon pic. I moved out here to TN a month ago. Just off the Foothills Parkway, about 20 mins from base of the Dragon I think.

GT7 doesn't look the greatest when side by side lol Tried to find a better lighting situation but eh. Scapes just don't do it for me or I'm bad at them. Seems to work well for everyone else though..

Edit: I'm surprised they don't have some scapes for the Dragon area. Beautiful views and roads. This whole Smoky Mountains National Park area is straight outta some Scapes.

Was my temporary wheels during the time my OEM was repainted, I have sold it since, it's looked nice, a bit like the R34 wheel, but there are extremely heavy, something like 28lbs per wheel versus the 16lbs for the OEM. This summer I will install my Nismo LMGT4 that are freshlly reworked.

Mine was imported in 2006 and I own it since 2013. Before the price goes to the sky hahaha.

Same for me, I can't find a scape where the R32 look great, there are some car in the game with this problem.
 
2009 Volvo C70 T5, 2011 Honda Odyssey Touring, 1985 VW Vanagon Westfalia. The only car I've ever owned that made it in GT was a Volvo 240 Wagon, and Polyphony screwed up the curb weight.
 
Honda Integra Type R DC5, my dream car since driving it on GT4 :D

But sadly not in GT7 yet, making do with the brilliant DC2 Integra for now.
Pelting around Silverstone a couple of years ago

Friend of mine with a DC5 Type-S (best we got here in the states :rolleyes:) is eagerly waiting for them to add this again. Almost like he isn't even interested in playing it until they do lol
