Neither; 64 Comet DSCF1925.JPG

 

 

It is based on a mix of

 

A 1964 Ford Falcon for overall body design

Ford Fairlane for the rear bumper

And a 1960 Mercury Comet for the front light cluster and grille

I have no idea what the tailight cluster is based off of. Maybe a 1964 Ford Mustang cluster of taillights,

k im in a bit of a dilemma. i cant decide if i should sell my vigero for the blade. is the blade actually "fast"

It's faster than the vigero but slower than the dominator and ruiner. Basically it gets off the line fast as hell and it makes you think it's sports car fast for the first couple times you drive it. But it also handles amazingly, so for the quality you get, i'd go ahead and replace the vigero with it.

Still hiittin' them corners in them low-lows, girl!

 

Got my Blade this morning. Need to do proper research so that I can mod my Blade to either resemble Dre's ride from the Still D-R-E video or Doughboy's '64 from Boys N Tha Hood even though the body style of the car is a Comet.

Can you slam the front only to level it out more? I like the look of it's current jacked up front but I'm curious.

 

No. But it does level out a bit when you get a good head of steam built and you're ripping down highways.

The taillight cluster is based off that of an early 1970's Dodge Demon.

Blade from San Andreas was so much better.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already but is it just me or does the new Blade look alot like the old Voodoo from VC and SA?

So if they called it the Classic Voodoo maybe it would have gone down better , as we wouldnt have been expecting the older version of the Blade

It's weird to see '62 bubble top full size cues with Chevy II/Chevy Nova proportions.

I take that back it's basically a '64 Falcon.

 

 

I've been wondering what it was supposed to be... Did the Falcon have that bizarrely accented reverse rake?

 

My Falcon had a reverse rake from factory, and it got a lot worse since the leafs wear out over time...but I think R* was trying to do a gasser look with the Blade. I lifted my rear supsension 2" to compensate, since the reverse rake looks terrible imo.

I like that the were going for the gasser vibe, but I wish they would have included the fender-well exhaust as an upgrade. I think that would have made the reverse rake make more sense. Also, drag slicks would be KILLER!
