>***, ***, ***, I hear Ford Mustang Racing calling you :)

Well, Ford Racing 3 is only $14.99 :-)  But I work for GM ;-)

Well, since it seems that if the Evo changes the ashtray design,
it gets a new designation, and addition to these games (esp
GT-series), I'd like them to include a C4 'Vette, a non-Z06 C5
'Vette, a C3, a '59-'62.  I'll let the Ford folk speak for
themselves :-)

Hey, just noticed they have an '04 Camry Solara.  Man, can't wait
to try out that baby!

Seriously, it is a well-chosen list of cars.  I do like their
selective inclusion of older cars (though I miss my older gen
'Lude).  If I had the choice, I would have foregone 35 versions of
EvoWRXGT-R in favor of more euro brands.  But even as is, the mix
is better than GT4's larger list.

when the US start making good racers they'd get featured in games :)  US like
to make and drive SUV's but there aren't THAT many that can be concidered good
racers.

someone mentioned ~70% of cars featured are built in JAP and EUROPE but thats
who make the majority of cars on the road.

okay, you have a point with the solara... IMO,I think it boils down to a
couple of things. As you know, popularitiy with Japanese branded cars
has skyrocketed for the last 5 years or so. *Most* people don't even
consider American sports cars when buying a car ('cept for maybe the
recent hype in say the 'stangs armerican sports cars have been dead).
And Euros are just too expensive and generaally less bang for your buck
unless you're going
high end. I think in incorporating more of those cars, they'd have
people ***ing from the other side of the fence cuz hey, why ruin a
already proven method? GT has been selling like hotcakes for years; the
devs knew they couldn't go wrong with japanese cars. What low end to mid
end cars does Europe make? Also there is the "upgradeability" of lower
end Japanese cars that people like.  Turbine kits are funner than
Superchargers :)

GM huh? Is that the GM that lost over a billion dollars in the red last
year ;)

BTW, don't bullshit, there are quite a few differnt type Lancers in teh
Market. Forza incorporated only seven, and *six* Dodge Vipers. I think
you're exagerating! Soccer moms want to ***their Solaras too!

I have a 69 Camaro wtih 750+ horses and I don't even have it topped out yet
:-)
It's a rocket ship but hard as hell to keep on a road with a lot of sharp
turns.

I bet old 'bessie is all over the asphalt :) I guess you won the classic
car competition. What'd you race it with?
