MX-3 on unofficial Gran Turismo 4 car list

[babyblueMX3]

isn't our car the mazda eunos roadster?..it has pretty much the same specs as our... ..and isn't our car called eunos 30x or somethin' too

[Custommx3]

Eunos is another name for Mazda
like chrysler = dodge

The roadster is the miata.

So in other words, its a mazda miata.

the MX-3 comes with a ZE in the game? (I guess you didn't say what "ZE", but I'm guessing a 2.5) that sounds a little fishy to me. they tend to try and make the cars available with engines that actually came in them, and the MX never came with a 2.5 anything, anywhere. I myself hope they keep things that way, and maybe let us bore to a 2.5 or somthing. (although we all know that won't happen, lol) whatever the case though, I will be happy to see an MX-3 in the game...

but look at it this way if it came w/the normal 130-135hp, even w/the mods it wouldnt make it a contender like it is in real life. the GT series has never allowed swaps so we'd all be screwed. this way we all get to have a shot at a reasonable pace in the game.

[masonholmes]

I'm not arguing that a KL-ZE'd MX-3 in the game wouldn't be fun, but that I think they should stick with realism. Knowing the GT series, we would most likely be able to go drop a stage-3 turbo on the 1.8L and pump out all kinds of power, not to mention the car's fairly light without the weight reduction stuff. If they really wanted to give us the option of a bigger engine, they could make the boreing option available too. My hopes are he just saw/heard ZE, and it's got a K8ZE in it, which would be realistic.

No I didnt just see ZE. I saw 195hp. You know what though, ½ the MX-3s have ZEs in them anyway.

[masonholmes]

Haha, Ok. Well it will be fun, if not completely realistic. -makes me wonder about some of the other cars they include. What about colors, did you by any chance catch what colors will be available, or if the rasberry metallic will be. :p

so because the lancer has good handling that means an mx couldnt hang with it?

Yeah, that's my point. And it's because of the type of game that the GT series games are. It showcases cars that boast racing heritage or good handeling characteristics.

...my point was, go back, look at the games...they all have 10+ versions of the lancer and not a single mx-3 i understand there is a 'heratige' but w/6 street versions of lancers and not 1 mx3 its irritating. shelby has heratige to and he only got 1 car in the game...

There are different types and generations of Lancers. Remember, the latest being the Lancer VIII. The MX-3 came in only 1 gen. Why? It didn't sell particularly well, it's underpowered and FWD.

But, I do see what you mean, sort of.

[2RotorsNaDream]

There was black, white, teal, red, and thats all I remember. Maybe blue but I'm not positive. Maybe by the time it comes out they'll fix the MX-3 specs.

[masonholmes]

True, it's still a good while from the release date. I want the SE included too, haha.

[13flat]

hey illa, you remember where you got that video? i've looked and cant find it..any chance you got a link?

[2RotorsNaDream]

It wasnt a video. It was a GT4 playable demo in Manhattan at a GameStop. I couldn't play as the MX-3 but they had it in the used car garage. I saw it but I wasnt allowed to pick it.

[13flat]

well that sucks...i was hoping for a video. i constantly check up on it and there havent been any new updates for screenshots n' such since Christmas.

did the game at least let you look at the technical specs...or did it just say mx-3 195hp...

[2RotorsNaDream]

I only saw 195hp. I'm sure everything will be fixed by the time it comes out.

[tical]

i think id like it better with the klze, id be one that would try to beat the whole game just with the mx3. so id want a good contender...
