Cars The Need For Speed

Oh my, the GTO, most beautiful car ever made. I fell in love with the flared fenders and the curved waist line when I had a matchbox GTO some 35 years ago, and for what it's worth I very recently bought me a Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel for Assetto Corsa,...because of this car. Not being an expert of course, but I cant find any fault with the original Kunos car, actually think they really have nailed it, inside and out.

You may be right, I am sorry for spamming the thread with this but I am such a fan of this car. I am Italian, I saw it for the first time when I was in high school back in the 80s and it was just out of this world, outrageously sexy. Maybe the AC one just needs better wheels and tires? Well, enough of it, I go back into my cave

I agree that the front fender curve looks a little flat... but overall I also agree it's a fine model. Certainly not a bad one on the level of the Celica or AE86.

What we really need is a 308GTB QV.

(Fortunately, one has been started.)

Yup, project is alive and kicking. I haven't posted much about it lately because I'm waiting for a friend to give me access to his 308. Once I have checked the real thing out I will dive back into working on the model.

Started a new car for Sergio Loro, for which I've committed before this, so once that one's done I'll be back on my own stuff and focus on these cars (yes there'll be more after the 993)

And remind me how many Porsche you will mod?
Any idea when we could drive it?

I'm sure if you accidentally were to misplace a few hundred or thousand dollars into AD3R's donation box, it would motivate him to work on it.

LOL at the latest comments! Doing the cars is motivation enough, trust me! of course I appreciate any donations but that's not the reason why I do this. Believe me, don't need more motivation to start on the 993, I need TIME!!
I've been working on my newly built garage for the past couple of months, need to take care of my real cars as well (Lexus LS400, Toyota Previa, Honda Prelude), so that and family took most of my spare time lately. Not to mention I've got into another hobby with is racing drones

so... winter is coming here so that means more time inside, who knows, might get something else started

I hear you! Sometimes even no amount of money can buy time. The older we get the less time we have for our hobbies. I too have a household and since it is spring and summer is coming I'd much rather spend my free time outside.

I can imagine, I'm impressed knowing how much time it must take, that you are at all able to work on mods. I also spend time working on my cars and bikes plus having work and a wife doesn't help either

LS400 and Prelude sounds sweet, which prelude it is?

Anyway fingers crossed for the 993, your cars are by far my favourite mod for AC.

Yeah, that one above

1st gen, 1979, currently sitting at my garage waiting for some work that needs done to get it back on the road.
Don't forget the Previa, coolest minivan ever!

1979 was the best year for things.

Have to admit that Previa is much cooler then I ever thought, after watching the video

Not a popular thing in my country, but RWD supercharger and engine position is awesome for such a thing

Well I'll have to take HER word on that then! LOL

Timing couldn't be better, since I've decided to work on my own projects for the rest of the year, taking a break from commercial stuff. Once I'm done with Sergio's new formula junior car, I'll get on the 993.

aphidgod · Aug 2, 2019

Well, that's good news! We're going to have to update every NFS car, probably, for physics, so I guess we'll see some more action around here starting ~next month.

I might even have to change my account photo back to something sane again. (I still crack up every time I see one of my posts with this one.)
