Just so you know, the magnetic ride stabilty suspension on the caddilac xlr is the most advanced suspension ever- on any car. So dont tell me that cadillacs dont handle well.

Land Rover and Aston Martin are under the Ford brand and i'd take an Aston Martin Vanquish over any German car except the Carrera GT.

Dont get me wrong i love german cars but of the german cars manufactured today i would take a Vanquish over all but the Carrera GT(thats if you consider Aston Martin to be American). Other than an Aston Martin i would take a german car over anything american.

But the rest is a real shame (Chevy Cavalier, Chevy Malibu and more).

Cars like the Cavalier and Malibu are cheap and inexpensive cars, you can't be serious when comparing them to better more expensive german cars.
German cars are better, but American cars aren't bad because they are making strides to improve.

the whole idea of this thread makes no sense. saying that jaguar and aston martin are american because of their ownership is one of the dumbest things ive heard, be it for a game or not. i almost wouldnt call an F250 an american car, well not north american at least, theyre built in Brazil. thats how i see things.

Hmmm...?

OOOOPPPSSSSSSS.......!
Americans lose again.


612hp biturbo v12 CL65 AMG, all you need to do is buy it in Europe and take off the limiter

So so sad, all that money for so little. O wait! It's a classic remake. (Ford GT only 500hp, and you need to be on the list to buy one. )

With the SPECTRUM, I wrote a Database Program with data for all performance cars specifications at the time (circa 1985-86). I then incorporated this data, where the cars raced on a track based on these specifications. (i.e. if it had good handling it would take corners a bit faster, if it had good mid-range (torque/power) acceleration, it's out of corner speed would be faster, if it had a high top speed, it back straightline speed would be faster.)

For some reason the "Porsche 959" won most of the time.

That Mercedes looks awesome........... But I rather be on a list and wait for my Ford GT. If I had the money for that car I'd probably had some other cars too so I could wait with no problem.

I get your point... price, waiting list, HP.. etc... But I preffer the Ford GT

Ooops. Rediculous comparison. One is a uber luxo sports sedan and the other is ostensibly a stripped down sports car designed 40 years ago with some technical mods.
