The Ford GT a muscle car? Please, you've got to be kidding me.

Just because it has a powerhouse under the hood doesn't make it a muscle car! In fact, I disagree with EA's choice of putting the Viper in as a muscle car. To me the Viper is an exotic. Exotic cars are the rare cars that are hard to come by, and a Dodge Viper sure fits that description, as does a Ford GT. EA's classification system is pure EA, I don't know what they were thinking. There's so many parts of it with which I disagree, especially some of the "low-level" exotics. But oh well, I doubt we can do anything about it.

i think the viper is a muscle car just because it bascially has a truck engine. what gets me is how is the m3 a exotic

i think they were all smoking pot when the decided which cars go into which group

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 22 Oct 2006, 00:00

The M3 is an exotic because it's not a normal M3 but an M3 GTR.

Methinks EA needed a 4th class: Race Cars/Supercars.

i agree then you could put the viper, corvette, GT40 in the exotic section

The tecno in NFS 2, 3, 4,and 5 were pretty, but the rest of the tecno was C-R-A-P.

About the PS2. They could nake th graphics like Gt4 if they out some work into it, but they are givin PS2 a bad name IMO.

Just disable the EA Trax on Carbon and run a Quicktime or Windows Media Player window while you're playing...

To the one person who posted about the GT being a muscle car

As Prince said, exotics are cars that are rare and hard to find. Ford has made its last GT. That qualifies it to be exotic.

FYI, Future Shop (Canada) has an online pre-order for Carbon CE (PC) for $39.99 CDN.

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 22 Oct 2006, 02:38

I know these are not new pictures but they are available in extremely high resolution (2560x1440)...which is really cool:

Also, notice there is no "normal" version of Carbon for PC and this time it's PC DVD (unlike Most Wanted)

EDIT: The PC version is half the price of the Xbox360 CE...one more reason PC rules.

Well Futureshop has the PC version on sale, while I checked the Best Buy site and it costs $50.

LOL, I checked BB too and found the same thing. Unfortunately I don't have a credit card so I can't order it at $40 CDN. However, the Future Shop is just a five minute from my place so I can grab it right after class.

I always saw exotics as your german/european sports cars, lambo's ferrari's etc, as for street cars they were always sort or superior. But then you get cars like the Ford GT and the Holden GTS-R, HRT 427 that I would class as modern muscle, that are built by classic muscle car builders, but are engineered to meet the lambo/ferrari's on the track.

Post by **TheStig** » 22 Oct 2006, 04:47

The Ford GT is basicly a rebuild of a 1960s racecar that they enlarged abit so larger people can ride in it, and they added some safety features, and a new cleaner engine to make it road legal again.
And TADA, you got yourself a new car...
And if you look at it that way... the Ford GT is basicly a pretty lame car, and Ford ran out of Ideas to make a new sportscar so they got some drawings out of the desk and used that

Hey age has nothing to do with it Driv2slow

Not to get on you but it all comes from experience. Age has somewhat of a diff because when you start driving you know more.

BTW, Im only 13

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 22 Oct 2006, 04:49

Whoever said the Ford GT was a great car? It's Ford, what do you expect?

evilmegamonkey · Post by **evilmegamonkey** » 22 Oct 2006, 04:53

Same time!

And exactly. Last Ford I had broke down and never started back up. Took good care of that car and it had to be an ass and break down.

Seriously! Does anyone here watch Top Gear? Well, one of the people on the show has one and it never works for him.
