Sports Classics

[damoinsano]

Sports classics are my favourite category of cars, so I obviously would like to see more of them in future updates - in particular, cars based on the E-Type Jag, the AC Cobra, a 60's or 70's Mustang (Dominator Classic?) and the Lamborghini Countach (Infernus Classic?), which would perhaps give the Z-Type a run for its money speed-wise. I'd also be in favour of the Bullet being bumped to the sports classics category, and I'd really love it if they got rid of the guns on the JB-700 - they render this potentially beautiful car silly looking, which is a real shame. Have them removed at LSC, even.

 

Any other sports classics fans? What additions would you like to see in this category?

More chromed rims... seriously, a classic without shiny motherf*cking rims isn't a classic.

Ain't that the truth but sh*t I hate chrome. As a person that details classic cars, all that chrome is a bitch.

I agree that the guns should disappear from the JB 700, though others would prefer they become functional instead.

 

The Bullet is in the Super class. You may be thinking of the Monroe, which has a vaguely similar shape. If that's what you meant, I'd say I disagree. The Monroe's main inspiration is the Lamborghini Miura, an older car than the Countache.

No, i meant that the Bullet should be in the sports classics class, rather than supers, since it's based more on the Ford GT40 than the modern GT.

But the bullet is a modern car.

Agreed..

I have always thoguht the Bullet (old Ford GT40) and the Comet (80's porsche 911) should be sports classics IMO

[CrysisAverted]

I would prefer the guns on the JB to deploy from their hidden compartments

[HKM87]

The delorean is vintage not classic. It's a time frame difference. And I think this car is ugly

[-Morbid-]

...How is the Bullet more GT40 than GT?

 

And how the hell is the Comet an '80s 911?

[damoinsano]

...How is the Bullet more GT40 than GT?

It looks (cetainly from the back and sides) and performs like an SC rather than a modern super.

[wangsparkinglot]

 

 

First is a 1988 and the second is a 1997 The comet in the game is somewhere between those 2..

[JustinR512]

The GT40 and GT look so generally similar that when you have a game car that's intended to only vaguely resemble one, and actually takes cues from both as well as other cars, it's impossible and meaningless to say which of the two the Bullet "is". However, it's in-game performance indicates it's more of a modern car than a classic. I think it's fine where it is.

[tenpennyisplainevil]

OP meant that there should be a Bullet classic based on the GT40, and I wholeheartedly agree.

Debate over the year of this model here.

[GradientDruid]

It would be cool to see these cars make it into the game

 

-Citroen 2cv

-1960's mini cooper

-Mercedes-Benz 300SL

-Shelby AC Cobra

-1961 Jaguar E-Type (hard top\soft top convertible)

-50's Porsche 356 convertible

-70's Datsun 240z

-1971 Ford Supervan

Nissan 240Z please.

Comet in the sport classics ?

Are you mad ?

That being said both of those cars shoud be in the sport class

[AllNighter1]

Giantsgiants deserves for the internet for nominating the 240Z with the right period specific mods.

 

I also would love to own a Dominator Classic a la Shelby GT350, GT 500 KR and/or Mach 1.

 

Also, a representation of the old Ferrari race cars.

[sparky66]

The Bullet is obviously supposed to be a modern GT as it has modern wheels by default, plus a modern interior and carbon fibre. However, you can make it look more like a classic GT40 by picking older design wheels. Shame it is in the super class though, some sports class cars have better performance.

 

The comet is definately in the correct class though, it is intended to be a modern 911, although it has some influences from older models. I always thought the back of the comet looked kind of odd, I'm not really sure what rockstar used as their inspiration for that.

 

I really want to remove the guns on the JB700, it's my main annoyance with any vehicle in game. It looks and handles great, but they had to ruin in with some stupid looking guns. Interestingly the guns weren't there when we first saw the JB700 in the first trailer. Hopefully someone can create a mod for PC with no guns.

 

As for new cars, a new Windsor (e-type jaguar), a 1940's sedan like a Chrysler New Yorker (Broadway), a classic 60's rolls Royce (Stafford) and a classic VW Beetle (bug). Any new classics are appreciated though.

^What website is that from? There are like, zero watermarks on it.

 

OT: DeLorean.

[A Paradox from 94]

^Well another user from the PistonHeads website picked it up for one of the forums. I had that page in my bookmarks so I just used that one. But I wouldn't visit the watermark website, it looks fishy.

 

-edit- there is a clean photo now

agree with everything you say!

 

It makes sense for vice city cars to be added and hopefully it's a matter of time.

 

we need a lowrider class too and they should add them all in

[Ezza.]

Classic Infernus

 

Classic Cheetah (Even though the V Cheetah is from 1979)

[EquanoxZ]

I really hope they create more sport classics. The 240Z should work pretty well to ad in this game. I also think that adding a 1970's version of the Comet is a good idea. Personally i really want to see more french cars like the Alpine A110 or the A310.
