I know they are propably not going to be in game shortly, but i'd really like to see old american muscle cars like mustang, dodge charger etc...

Where the heck are they??

That's just my 5 cents though..

-Jone-

muscle cars have been mentioned many many times before :tired:

There is no real car in game. FZ50 GTR for example, my favorite, would be half the Porsche half the Ferrari maybe...
Would you be happy if there simply was some half Mustang half Charger, or maybe 2 of a kind, so they could have a nice races against each other?

Yes there is

Yes there is... two, but have you seen anyone driving around lately with shiny new RA or MRT5

Muscle cars coud be cool, big and heavy and with lots of waisted litres in the engine... but can you do corners with american cars

depends where you live blackout Hhahahha

stil would like to see some muscle cars.. need more cars with ACTUAL power rather than... turbo's (not that i dont like turbos; i loooooove turbos.. i just want to see some raw power [like the FZR; thats whats so cool about that car.. cause it has no turbo.. just power])

Something with a big engine, lazy power, leaf springs and a solid rear axle should certainly make for an entertaining drive.

Personally, I like big brutish RWD Yank Tanks. I'm not sure that they fit the 'flavour' of LFS though - certainly not as it is at the moment.

An add-on 'muscle car pack' would be fun, and I'd download it, certainly. Probably doesn't warrant being a high priority development though. (Wonder if the devs would be amenable to users submitting quality meshes and profiles to this end, however...)

A lot of the current LFS tracks would be... challenging... for such a car, methinks! A filter to identify this class of car for servers would be vital too.

A very basic point, but important of course is that if any more cars are introduced, the car selection screen will need to be changed to accomodate them!

I think LFS really needs some V8 cars - a 1960's coupe (think Mustang/Camaro), a "modern" coupe (think Corvette Z06), and a sedan (NASCAR type car). Front engine, RWD V8 cars are very popular, not just in the U.S., and having these types of cars would allow for racing that more closely resembles popular racing classes. NASCAR, NASA, Trans-Am, Australian V8 Supercar, NHRA Drag Racing, etc. all use RWD V8 cars. Adding two or three new models to the game would make a huge impact on the types of racing that could be done. Personally, I would love to run the road courses against my friends in a '69 Mustang (or similar "not real" car). Recreating the 1960's Trans-Am racing or the Camaro Mustang Challenge would be great fun. I'll take this type of racing over the game's current GTR cars any day. And, even though I'm not a NASCAR fan, the chance to drive a high end V8 car like that on a twisty road course would be great.

yeah sure, than we can durby in the parking lot :something

Thanks for telling me. It's just my horrible memory in case of MRT5, because now I remember how I saw the real world counterpart photo for it. And the Raceabout always was very reminding me of some prototype car, or at least an exot from some designer... bah no way I'm gonna google now. Please tell me the name. Thanks ;0)

American muscle beasts would surely extend the fun in LFS.

BTW, I am not so confident about the "huge impact" on the LFS game like Cue-Ball for example. To be honest, Live for Speed has the British Racing Green tint for me. Eventhough I can't really drive the LX4 and LX6, I never stop trying! And I believe that devs feel the same.

Ooooohh, Just like That! :lovies3d:

The name is RaceAbout... check there www.raceabout.fi

I agree it could be entertaining, if also somewhat frustrating

Take a look at the bottom of this thread (Antsa's post) in the Gran Turismo section of RSC for a nice example of a muscle car on a track by the way:
http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=216325

Man, does that car lean thru the corners

LFS could really do with some full race engines, rather than production based 4s which it seems to specialise in, would really like to see BDAs, DFVs and F5000 spec Chevy V8s.

i would love to drive an american muscle-car! the setup should be adjustable like in the gtt though .

Hi. uhhh I dunno how to put this...

Uh since the actual cars in LFs are imaginary (ok not the RAC and the MRT)
are y'all wanting REAL american musclecars or replicars like what they do in
GTA and the Driver games?
Uh speaking of the RAC, I dunno how it handles in real life, but in the game it handles like a couple of Dodges and Chryslers I've driven in real life.
Well the Dodges had V8s (383 and a 440), but the handling and the acceleration
of the RAC is almost identical to my mom's chrysler 440 Brougham/
Uh I think that the devs ought to take advantage of the potential they have
in the drag strip by at least providing Chopped and channelled top fuel
versions and Pro stock and pro gas versions of the current cars that are in LFS now
That way you could have a UF 1000 on an equal footing with a FZ50,
Yet both having fully blown V8 motors and of course, RWD

beastly

tehre are a lot of people building 3D concept cars in several forums, like SMCars for example. I'm not a fan of american muscle AT ALL, but variety is always good .

Maybe the devs should/could post a car creation contest for S3?

1973 Ford Falcon XB GT



Edit: It's not American, but Mad Max rocks!

How to ruin a perfectly good 2-door hard-top falcon.

America is simply too far away from Europe. I'm quite happy that LFS is british game.

Which does not mean I wouldn't welcome a bit of exotica in it. :bartsimps

I wouldn't mind a Aston Martin DB6 type car in LFS Actually, that would kick arse.

Rayfighter that Falcon is not an American car

Since I've never lived anywhere but the US, it's strange to think of these cars as being foreign, but seeing how many of you are European, it would probably be odd for you to think of them as domestic. I've grown up around these cars, and I've learned to revere them as part of our automotive history, as I'm sure our European brothers have their Aston Martins, Lancias, and Audis.

Speaking as an American, these cars are special to us. They represent individuality and expression, power and elegance...it's hard to explain. Muscle cars in Live for Speed would be an excellent addition, (speaking for myself now) and would make the experience that much more fun.

However, to add these cars to LFS would present a problem. Under the current physics settings, these cars would be nearly impossible to control, given their astronomical levels of torque. Imagine the RaceAbout, with twice the torque and the body roll to match a Spitfire. Not a pretty picture. If the grip problem that seems to plague many of the rear-wheel drive cars in this sim could be eliminated, then I think that muscle cars would be an excellent addition to the garage.
