Oddly enough the Japanese spec 3000GT (AKA GTO) had the same body styling of the current eclispe. (though I think this info is outdated now)

Hm......I wonder if EA would consider doing Burnout and Donut contests..... Seeing as most of the vids released have the cars going into donuts.

Similar, but not even close to being the same.

You can get a 3000GT in a Twin Turbo version, and that is cool

I like the 3000's better than the new eclipse's. If I were to get an eclipse it certainly wouldn't be the new body style.

*EDIT*
New Underground 2 trailer was put up by EA last night, I've got it on my site. So you can work your fingers out and type in the address or just click here. Link is in the very first news post.

No! 3000GT look so much better then the Eclipse (To me atleast), how could you mix em up.

Yup I'll definately take a 3000GT when I get the game, but it won't look as tacky as the one in that screen lol.

exonn · Post by **exonn** » 19 Aug 2004, 17:50

marshallpre1 · Post by **marshallpre1** » 19 Aug 2004, 19:28

Where is the evidence?? I would like to see it because I WANT replay mode. Please show me the evidence

About unknown car yeah it seems a stock Opel Corsa.... but consider it could be a traffic car!!! (maybe so complex to be a traffic)

They're aren't any BMW's yet! Come on EA, add in the M3!!

Dani i dont think that vauxhall corsa was traffic ive never seen i muffler so big and crome on a nfsu2 traffic car

exonn · Post by **exonn** » 19 Aug 2004, 23:23

but from a pic....
my first impresion that is a traffic car...

Post by **Morty** » 20 Aug 2004, 00:11

Maybe EA has decided to give the traffic cars a little refresh too... But as we were told a few months ago, EA is going to use cars that are popular in tuning/styling... In middle Europe (Belgium, France, the Netherlands), small cars like Peugeot 306, CitroÃ«n Saxo and Opel Corsa are styled more or less to death (but still people manages to make something completely new), so I got a feeling we'll see a few small cars and some crazy bodykits...

And I join the "We want a BMW M3 in the game"-club

Sp3aK · Post by **Sp3aK** » 20 Aug 2004, 04:28

From what I saw there is alot of the same traffic models. But I was busy passing them not riding behind them

Do you think money from rich f****rs grow on their backs? They work for it.

Or they just robbed the bank.

Here we go again, what car to use in NFSU2, let me share something with you (it's quite lengthy so sry about that):

After playing a year with the same car, my dear old Focus, I commited adultery with a RX7 last night. I finished underground mode with a Focus cuz I like it, kept the TJ's I choose in the game and started racing online. Short stints of 3 to 4 laps are necessary to have a somewhat competative car against the RX7 and the Miata, because a Focus just isn't a match for a RX7... But I am stubborn enough to keep racing with it cuz the top 10 drivers in a room has 90% of RX7 in it. Which kinda sucks, AND is boring.

But after I dropped from 200.000 rep to 110.000 in a half hour I thought it was time to set my stubbornness aside and give it a go and change my car for a RX7. In a couple of hours I gained over 70.000 rep... There is SO MUCH DIFFERENCE

between the cars it is just unbelievable!!! I can tell, b/c I INTENTIONALLY NEVER tried to race another car online b/c I was afraid of what I found out yesterday.

I know the Focus drives like a brick and has the same steering behaviour, but the RX7 is not a bit faster: it is A LOT faster. I'm even afraid to use nos, b/c that thing is going too fast

Yes, it is harder to steer b/c you can't go over curbs when steering into a corner but after some laps I got kinda used to it. I still can't drive lots of clean laps, but if I do I am well over 3 seconds faster per lap than my Focus. Yes I clocked a 37,53 with my Focus in OS, but that was a couple of laps, all 41/42 and the last with full nos. So one of my first races with the RX7 I had a 6 lap race, pretty clean, no crashes and guess what: constant on 39... NO NOS! What if I gave it some practice

.... I even had a moment where I somehow accidently got hoocked with the 2 leftside wheels on the inside curb of the 1st corner in OS: I had an exit speed of 300 km/h through the shortcut!!! So this is my wish for NFSU2: not how many different cars orso, just MORE COMPETATIVE CARS !!!

I for one will be pretty dissapointed when in a month time the RX8 in NFSU2 turns out to be the best car, I can promise you all: forget about all the requested cars: most of us will all racing be the RX8...

BUT I SURELY HOPE I'M WRONG

sry if I'm being too pessimistic

Killer Instinct · Post by **Killer Instinct** » 20 Aug 2004, 14:50

Yeah true. I never raced with the RX7 until after I had completed my first profile and it is a LOT better than any other car (except for the initial acceleration which sucks imo).
I sure hope that EA narrows the difference between cars to have a bit more competition.
