I see no Point of it even being in there.It can't turn,its way overpowered.and the styling is really ugly.Please if anyone could make a Good Point of why this in in GT3.I'll be miscorrected.
 
there's none. same thing could be said for the 6 F1s.

these 7 car slots would have been better filled with some better beginner cars (Supra MKIII, CRX, EVO III, etc...)
 
Actually, the burden of proof rests on you and your ilk. Why shouldn't these cars be included? Are you kidding? They should be the 1st to be included! They represent the State of the Art in automotive technology! But lemme just humor you....

The point to these cars is the same reason they exist in reality; to do the one thing they do, BETTER than any other car does.
The Escudo is a Hill-climbing monster. You're not awed? Think about what it takes to accelerate uphill, up a 12-15 degree grade, and at a vertiginous rate. Are you impressed by the F-15's ability to go ballistic?

Plus yeah, if you can tune it to where it's moderately driveable (it's possible, I have mine set up to where I can do Cote d'Azure in the low 1:30s. True, a big reason is the lightning acceleration, but still I gotta get it to corner, and it does.)It is a boon to you as a player, it gives you options.

Same goes for the F1's. Aside from the fact that Yes, it's FUN, it's a rush, driving the most advanced, most capable, best-turning race cars in the Universe (for that alone they should be in it, even if they were elegible only for FGT), the fact that they are out there means they gotta be in here.

Don't we bemoan the fact that some great cars are missing? The Audi R8, the Lambos, Ferraris. No car should be excluded, and if they offer the experience of driving at the most extreme level of technology, they must be in the game.
 
I still see no Point of the Escudo...If they Put Pikes Peak Hill CLimb in there and then add the Rod Millen Celica.Hell ya!!!Now that would be AWSOME!
 
I hate NASCAR and I hate those cars that fly around a dirt oval and have the huge aerofoil on the roof, but I would be curious to see what a Nascar like car would do in the game. Who, knows, you might be impressed or you might think it is a peice of crap. I would like to see all kinds of cars in GT3. Maybe the NASCAR license is too expensive, but CASAR (Canadian version) has cars almost identical to NASCAR and their license would be practically free, not to mention they could just make "mock" NASCAR's similar to the way they made "mock" F1's.
 
NASCAR just may be the one thing on this planet that could keep me from ever playing Gran Turismo again.
40 rednecks driving around a big circle 500 times. yipee.

That would suck, but it might be interesting to see what one could do against other cars on a road course. After all, even I can't resist a 10,000rpm Pushrod 350 with 700hp.
 
there is a place for every car in the game, and they cant please every1 can they. so they made it alittle something for every1....

If it was up to me it would have more of the street cars and less of the race cars...
but thats just me :)

I can't even stand to do 5 laps around Test Course with the Escudo, let alone 400 laps with a weaker car.

Well, I am not certain, but I think NASCAR uses tracks like Super Speedway. There aren't any tracks as big as Test Course that are used regularly in racing.
 
There better not be :lol: or else...

NASCAR uses tracks a around the size of Super Speedway (some larger some smaller). :)
 
hahaha dodge viper... lol
but still....... think about it
get a car with similar specs as a nascar car
then
race an enduro with it
since they run ~400 laps, try that also... now seeif YOU get bored......
 
cigano, I think i should start a thread in the challenges forum about escudo times. I have also found tuning the car makes it pretty damn quick. It doesnt understeer nearly as much anymore. The understeer thats left is understandable for a car that puts 1800hp into the ground. Also the understeer is only there if you mash the accelerator.

I have gotten the escudo to do monaco in 1:24. With more trying i might be able to get it down a little bit. I also think i got it to do complex string in around 3:40. I will go check.
 
Actually i thikn its just cuz we try to set too much downforce in the back... cuz with the insane hp, it'll go Up and the front wheels cant steer :P

i think we could stand to lose a few lancers.

i'm happy with my F090/s, probably wont even use other F1s, ever.
 
Why not have it?

Sure, the game needs to lose some of the repetitive cars, such as the Lancers and a few Skylines, but otherwise, why take out cars?

Having all sorts of "useless" cars gives you a greater range of driving experience, no matter how absurd the car may be.

I don't necessarily like the Escudo, but I don't see how your gaming experience is being degraded by having it in the game? Would GT3 be "just so much better" if it was taken out?

Nope, didn't think so. Why advocate taking it out if you can merely just ignore it (or better yet, not buy it)...?

Yes but then Fred Polyphony would have to take out the F1 Championship race because it is difficult for beginners to beat the F094/S(001) with a R390 gt1 or the Toyota GT-1 racecar.
 
going around in circles on nascar is for amatuers,and it's all a matter of horsepower..but Gran Turismo,having it's wide selection of courses that have many turns on them,and only TWO courses that are circular...that is for the people who go with skill!the true Gran Turismo players =D!so my point is...for all of us who actually use skill to cut corners at 60MPH and rely on our skill and not just the performance of our "high" horsepowered car to get us around a circular track for 3 to 4 hours..we are the true skillsmen! <------(is skillsmen even a word?hahaha,I just thought it would sound cool to say,hehe)

That was completely uncalled for. Don't do it again.
 
Dude (I've been saying that a lot lately), that needs a little more then a slap on the wrist Jordan. Did you even read the 'I feel sorry for those..." Thread??
 
sorry dude,but he just said something to insult me..and we wasn't even on the subject of talking about peoples signatures,so what he did was uncalled for.that's the only reason I did that.
