Rockstar - More sports classics please.

[DarkDayz]

I totally love how they have put SOME older models of cars into the game. More would be good, as a possible future content for online.

Here's a breakdown of the cars in V now. Just for clarification purposes for the thread, and maybe for players new to the HD generation of GTA and don't know about previous 3D and 2D vehicles.

I will ignore most of the sports classics as they aren't relevant to past GTA. But with relevance we have the Z-Type and the Stinger as past GTA cars re-invented as sports classics in GTA V.

 

The Z-Type - Debuting in GTA 2 as the Zaibatsi Corporations signature car, we see it now in V in sports classics form. Completely replicating the original, which they have done an amazing job with.

The Stinger - A great car from the older generation games, remade for V in sports classics form. It has the same basic shape, given a few different because of obvious graphical updates.

It looks as though the model comes from the 80's, around the times of VC, when looking at the shape of it.

I'm going to post a few requests for more sports classics, feel free to post your own from the 3D or even 2D era GTA's.

What I'd like to see as sports classics:

 

Firsly, I would post Mesa Grande, as that is one of my favourites from VC, but it has looked pretty much the same ever since, so I won't use that as an example. Same for the Banshee, they have stayed true to its original shape. Also, the old Blista Compact model needs to be back. It looked similar in IV to VC and SA.

 

The 80's Cheetah. It would be great if they remodelled this to HD for a sports classic. My favourite car from VC. The new Cheetah in V looks hideous I personally think.

 

 

3D era Comet - It needs to be done in HD as a classic. It looks fairly similar in the shape in the newer versions, but the 3D one has that old convertible vibe. The traction was great too.

 

The Deluxo from the 3D era. (After completing Sunshine Auto's missions)

 

The 2-Stroke Sanchez. (Sound and Engine) - Purely technical, this would be a great classic. Remember what it sounded like in VC. This should feature colour customisation too, as the plain Sanchez in V doesn't have any customisiation.

 

80's Infernus - Picture says it all. The king of the 3D era.

 

What would you like to see as a sports classic?

I wish I had a pic of it but the Tornado is a nice sports classic to own. LOTS of mods available for it and it looks badass.

[WinterEdit]

I want Ferrari Testarossa.

Oh aye I missed the Declasse Tornado. It's a killer.

[a20characterusername]

Not exactly a sports classic, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Jester from GTA:SA make another appearance.

 

Maybe something 'inspired' by a 1955 Cadillac El Dorado or 1959 Impala too. Even an older "Coquette", such as this would be nice.

I'm not a big fan of classic cars.I like the Monroe and stinger though.I've only been playing GTA two weeks were there ever any other sports classics?

[MKYR]

I want a 190e, E30, JZX30, A60 Celica, oh and while your at it, every cool car from the 80s.

The sports classics in GTA (not all of them) are the best cars from the older generation GTA games like Vice City and San Andreas, hence 'classics' and hence the older games comparisons in my post. There are FAR MORE better sports cars from old GTA games that should be added I think, as posted in the OP.

 

As to the comment on the Jester above that one - yes. The Jester was awesome!

In a (hopefully) free DLC, they should release old cars in HD form. Some could be:

 

Sports/Super

Jester

Uranus

Infernus (GTA 3 version)

Cheetah

Stinger (GTA 3 version)

 

Sedans

Admiral (GTA VC/SA version)

Sentinel/Mafia Sentinel

Greenwood

 

Classics

Idaho

Tampa

Clover (PLEASE!)

Esperanto (GTA 3 version)

 

** cars only from 3D era

[DillBagnr]

Man, this just reminds me how much I hate what they did to the "Cheetah" in V.

[DarkDayz]

ESPERANTO. Needs to happen. I agree though that it shouldn't be limited to just sports classics. I really hoped with V they would further add to the car roster by adding older car models, 80's and 90's versions as like the 3d era.

 

And yeah DillBagnr, the Cheetah in V makes me cringe when I see how it has ended up. SO GOOD in Vice City.

i would some sort of 70's style rotar added.

[heybud]

Yeah, I was kind of disappointed when i saw the new cheetah... i kept looking around for the old one for the first couple days.

I wish they had a mercedes sl300 w gullwing doors!

67 L88 Coquette is what this game needs =)

[Stephen]

Even better a 1963 Coquette Grand Sport

[Stephen]

Please keep the classic cars classic............Nothing worse than going into someones garage on a apt invite seeing a poor Stinger GT with whitewall tires and lime green rims

[a20characterusername]

Wouldn't mind seeing the Glendale,Tampa, and Deluxo come back. Maybe even a non-beater version of the Clover.

 

edit; I know they aren't sports classics, but still, I miss them. ;c

Tampa was a slick ride based on the 66 chevy corvair

[a20characterusername]

True, but I did throw in the Deluxo, which isn't a sports classic.

 

The one thing I do miss about GTA4 are the vehicles. Most of the ones in GTA5 are okay, but eh, they don't leave much of an impression on me.

[Is this The Guy?]

Three sports classics on the right.

Missing is my Monroe. Which I have yet to take a picture of.
