Car Freak

Well this was one of the non-closest fights for the POTW crown I've seen in a long while... congrats Sunny! Completely stole the show from everyone else! <retires to room to figure out a way to sabotage Sunny's graphics card>

Lol my highest mileage car (AM V8 Vantage) has only 500+km! But I pride myself on having all my cars with at least 150km... eg all class A cars i get are immediately put on the Millionaire's Challenge. Not only do I get my money back, but it helps but some serious mileage under those wheels...

The Euro Civic is only nice at the bottom ie because of traingular exhaust pipes. The middle looks too fussy and has too many creases

Ok, now you're really wanting me to get rFactor... :(

One of the things I can't stand about the hitchhikers and models is that they're so fussy. Must get to the destination in a certain time, drive fast but safely, must have a particular car... I mean, it's nice enough that we're even stopping for you!!! Stop complaining!!! :mad:

Why's the heated debate suddenly over? :( IMO some of you guys are waaayyy too strict with the definition of Supercar...

ouchie! wonder how much that hurt... serves them right though

Looks much better than the saloon. Big problem with this car though, especially the orange one above (hang on, a orange Lancer? :eek:) is that it's seriously underwheeled. Slap some 18"s or 19"s on with really wide tyres and that would be perfect...

Egad :eek_blue:

That's why I said there are supercars, and then there are hypercars...

The 300C looks great!

Wow. How I wish I was in your shoes... To get started in karting here you'll need at least $15k for the kart and all other essentials... To make matters worse, my grades are between average and above average and my parents have all along said that "studies come first" and refuse to let me try karting out. For the past 4 years, I haven't figured out a way to yank my grades up... :( Also, I don't quite know their definition of good enough grades, since for most, if not all parents, what you have is never good enough, you always have room for improvement etc etc etc

If it's ok with you guys, can I be put on the waiting list for the 1st group, in case somebody can't make it or doesn't show up?

Can I be in? I'll try to stay up for this one... Is the Ferrari 308 too slow for this? If so, I'll choose the Ruf RK Spyder. If even that is too slow, then I'll take the Spyker C8 Spyder T

So it's a film/game joint project? Anyway I see GM had a lot of say in the cars here :rolleyes: Driving physics look crap. Gran Turimo it ain't... Could be fun though. In a gimmicky kind of way

erk i hate HDR

Saleen is rather good. It's not pointless, because it's actually good at doing something, ie, straight line races. And it can be tamed if you 1) bother to practice and 2) don't tune it to Stage 3! For me the most pointless cars are the Lexuses (or Lexii? :S). Crap top speed, crap looking, crap image etc etc etc. I mean, why do you have two Lexus LS'? Why not just take the faster one? And the top speeds are REALLY screwed... In real life, all the Lexus' in TDU can hit 155mph easily. In the game, they can't even do that tuned! :mad: If Atari could approach Toyota to put some cars in the game, why not the Supra, Celica GT-4 and MR2? Oh, and the Chevy SSR is quite crap as well. Slow, ugly, not a sportscar... There's many reasons to hate it, but IMO not as much as the Lexus'

well considering it's based on the Porsche CGT, I would class it a supercar. @whoever it was who said so: How can the F430/Gallardo/911 Turbo/Z06/Viper not be supercars? Sure they're not as impractical as, say, a MC12 (no rear window) or Zonda (no boot), but they certainly have the speed and the jaw-drop factor that at least gets my non-car-loving friends to take some interest... Also, allow me to suggest a compromise... Supercars are (in the modern sense) stuff which are about the F430/Gallardo level, i.e. the DB9, GT-R, Z06 (not the regular Vette), Viper SRT10, 911 Turbo/GT2, Fezza 599, DBS... Things like Zondas, Enzos, Koenigseggs, Murcielagos, SLRs etc, those are hypercars, stuff that go one up on regular, "common" supercars And to the rest of you arguing about Skylines and Mustangs and insisting those are supercars: Simple experiment. Get a bunch of friends who have no interest in cars whatsoever (girls work very well here), and show them pics of various exotica alongside pics of various tuner cars (ie any Skyline, Supra, RX-7 etc) and ask them which would they choose. You'll note that they'll go for the exotic stuff all the time. A stonking engine in an average car does not a supercar make

Escort. Can't stand the Sierra's grille Also, having played the Colin McRae game has influenced me quite a bit... The Escort was always more fun to drive than the Sierra

<jaw drop> Man that is awesome! So nice that you got that instead of say a TT or 3-series coupe... Bet you must be feeling mighty proud of yourself now! How much did it cost you over there? For comparison, a base Alfa Spider here is $170k. somtimes i do wish i was living in the UK... :(

I think it's fair to include the new R35 GT-R as a supercar. Other than that, the only other Jap supercar is, as said, the Honda NSX anyway my top 5 in not really any order: Aston DB9 Ferrari F40 1996 Dodge Viper GTS Lotus Esprit V8 Alfa 8C Competizione This was really hard, finding my top 5 favourite supercars, considering my top 20 favourite cars consits mostly of sportscars... And yes it is a coincidence that 4 out of the 5 above cars are red

ME412 methinks. Damn those look good! anyway some new mods: my evil Sagaris http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Test%20Drive%20Unlimited/20080527153241.jpg GTO inspired by the movie The Last Ride http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/Test%20Drive%20Unlimited/20080530222535.jpg

I'll bet that post was just an excuse to use that smiley

Funny, but slightly racist to Indians
