E-ONE firetruck

Thanks for the introduction of the Spartan Firetruck there. To be truthful I know very little about US Firetrucks but compare the photos of the 2 - there is a lot of similarities wink.gif.

 

I forgot about the Honda Accord Wagon to be upmost truthful. But if you look at the Stratum - there is some traces of the Nissan Stagea in there blended in with the Honda traits for legal reasons wink.gif.

 

Here is some photos of the Nissan Stagea Wagon 1998 as I can't find any decent photos on the 96 version and there not much differences ne.

Here is the inside of one that was pretty much like mine wink.gif.

I think you might agree that there is some traces of this car in the Stratum on GTA-SA smile.gif.

the elegy is a nissan skyline r32 remember the setting was in 92

Doesn't mean a thing.

 

For example, the Bullit is a Ford GT not ''GT40''.

 

And yes, the Buffalo is a Mustang.

 

The "40" in Ford GT40 does not imply it was created in 1940. The car was 40 inches tall. That's where the name came from. It was made in 1968.

And I find it funny how fast cars like the Flash are. C'mon, there's no way a Civic or Nissan Pulsar can outrun a BMW 540i on a straight line. No way. And the Civic would barely beat the Bimmer if it was turbo'd.

Why not?

 

The N14 Nissan Pulasr GTi-R (it is not a GTR, there is no such thing as a Pulsar GTR, you are thinking of Skylines) puts out 163bhp per tonne and has all wheel drive wheras a 2000 540i puts out 165bhp per tonne and is rear wheel drive. There's not much in it really.

 

Of course if the game were to realistically simulate the Pulsar then it would have to randomly have the gearbox break on you if you used that power too much.

Mid 90's e34 540i runs the 1/4 mile in high 14's. A Pulsar GT R and Civic type R won't run away from it. I think the BMW would run away from those 2 cars, especially at highway speeds.

 

But if we want to talk about special ed. cars (GT R and not base) then we could also bring in the M5. I'm not taking anything away from the Civic and Pulsar. I just don't see them outrunning a 540i, when both are in stock form.

Sorry if this is a bump, but I'm tempted to say the Voodoo is either a 1959 or 1960 Impala, the 1960 had toned down rear fins. Or was it the 58??

I don't really know much of these, but to me, it looks more like a '59, at least the rear portion of the car. I believe the 1960 or 61 version had circular quad tailights, which I don't remember on the Voodoo.

I totally agree with the cars you have...for the most part.

I just think a couple could be closer to other real live cars

As there were so many pages, I thought I'd read the first couple and hope for the best. Anyhow.

Other lists I've seen have said the Sabre is a Cutlass aswell, nothing wrong with that, as they do look similar. Though the bodylines of the Sabre are much closer to that of a Chevelle IMO.

The shape of the Elegy is also probably closest to that of the late model Preludes/Integras, right before they were dropped by Honda/Acura. Except the Honda twins were front wheel drive while the the Elegy is rear wheel drive.

Also, just a side note. The Savannah could also be scene as a 1963 or 1964(I believe those years are right) Lincoln Continental Convertible, as it was a four door, just the like the Savannah, but minus the rear suicide doors on the Continental for conventional forward opening doors on the Savannah.

Anyhow. Great job on the list. I can tell it took a lot of time, and I'm not gonna bash it. Just add my suggestions and see if others agree.'

Again, great work man.

Thanks.

 

The reason you saw the Cutlass and Chevelle alike is because they are alike. They share the same GM A platform. As you may know, General Motors has always shared nearly identical platforms across all of their brands of cars. It happened back in those days and it happens today as well. As you could see in these pictures, you could say all of these cars shared the same bodystyle, just with different front and rear fascia

That's the Oldsmobile 442, Chevrolet Chevelle, Buick GS 400 and Pontiac GTO, all 1969 models. You will notice they have different front ends but the body style is the same. The side panels have been molded as the cars have different lines. Very similar shape overal, although it may not be noticable until you examine it closer.

 

As for the Elegy, I agree with you that it does resemble the Preludes, especially the shape of the body and the lines of the car, etc. But it has been debated that they look more like a Nissan Skyline R33 because of the shape of the lights. The Skyline also has quad rear tailights, so it was a clear giveaway as to what car they were trying to make.

 

As for the Savanna, I think it's more of an Impala because the front end is nearly identical to that of a '64 Impala.

I think the shape of the Continental was more squared off and luxurious. But I see where you're coming from, being that the Continental was a 4 door convertable like the Savanna

I'd say the Vincent is a mix up of a BMW E28, and E34 5 series and a Volvo 850.

 

The Beagle is a Britten Norman Islander.

The juank air is a DC-3

AT-400 is an Airbus A300

Andromeda a C5 Galaxie

Stunt one is a Pitts

May be a big bump, but there is no way that and Alpha is an Alpha Romeo, just because the name sounds the same, doesn't mean that it is the same, whilst we're at it, why not call the Buffalo an animal, shall we?

Well i didn't look the whole thread but i just think the "Blade" Can't be = 65 Chevrolet Impala/bel air/biscayne

Coz i just found that it's a "1967 Chevrolet Impala Convertible"

 

So "Blade" = "1967 Chevrolet Impala Convertible"

Hotring Racer 1(Staduim) is a 1990 Chevrolet Lumina NASCAR, if anyone has seen Days of Thunder, you will know that Lumina NASCAR's are used during the film quite a bit.

Proof:

The rear window on the sides seem a bit off, but that its really.

Case closed, opened, whatevery, thats my two cents on that.

This just occured to me when I was thinking about the comet.

Everyone can see that it's a Porsche, no question about it. The front end is the classic Round head lamps poking up over a tapering hood.

But it's mor a combination of two cars, not just a 911.

The car is a targa and a two seater. There were Targa 911's in '67, where the roof section above the driver could be removed. But the comet is a two seater.

So I was thinking, what porsche in 1967, or around then, was a two seater Targa? And the answer hit me.

The forerunner to the Boxster...the 914.

It was a two seater Targa, like the comet, but didn't share the family look back then. It had a very square body with pop headlamps.

Even the rear end of the comet looks like a combination oo the sloping rear end of the 911 with the flat trunk lid of the 914.

So I'd have to say the Comet is more a mix of a 1967 Porsche 911 and 914, not just the 911.

in the First Post on the front page, it has the Elegy as a: Nissan Skyline r33 (1993-1997)

 

I belive this to be Wrong, For a 2 Reasons,

 

Firstly, the game is based in 1992 (i know this has no bearing on it as rockstar do have a coupple of 94 looking cars in there.)

 

And the Front Indicators on the 33 are Mounted in the Bumper bar,. Where as the 32 has Orange indicators Next to the headlights....

 

So here is what i think it is.....

 

1989 Nissan Skyline GT Turbo RWD (32)

user posted image

 

 

and the other car that i belive is wrong is the Sunrise. Which is listed as a Pontiac Bonneville (late 1980's)

 

Altho it does look verry Similar, i belive it looks more like a 1990 Nissan Maxima

Sorry for the late reply but I agree with you that it is an R32. Good point.

 

As for the Sunrise, I agree that there are similarities to the Maxima. However, I think the unique cab forward shape of this car (especially the shape of the rear doors in relation to the wheels/axle area for this case) tells me that this is a General Motors H-Body vehicle, a FF platform used by Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile back in the 1980's.

This is a really nice and well put together list, but I must disagree on at least two vehicles:

 

1) The Buffalo is not a Camaro.

 

2) And the San Andreas Banshee resembles the Pontiac Banshee, which is listed further down near the end of my post. (Please don’t confuse my Australian Falcon from my signature with any comparisons I’m trying to make here)

 

The Buffalo resembles the mid-80’s Chrysler Laser/Dodge Daytona (which was actually front-wheel drive).

The only similarity between the Buffalo and the Camaro is the fact that they’re both rear-wheel drive.

 

Here’s the Dodge Daytona:

Then there's the Banshee:

The San Andreas Banshee resembles the mid-60's prototype with the same name:

 

Here's the 1964 Pontiac Banshee (never put into production):
