What LFS car would you build IRL?

[profike]

Ok, imagen this. You're watching the lottery on TV, and BAM! You win it!
Or you find a gigantic oil well that can supply earth for 10 years.
It comes down on this: You're gonna get pretty damn rich!
But your still the same guy that was playing LFS yesterday.
Suddenly, you get the idea to give the LFS Development team some monney and buy the copyrights on there cars, and you create them IRL.
What car would you create from LFS into real life, if you had the monney for it?
I would LOVE to own a XRT.
I also would get the XRR build for DTM racing r stuff like that... :D
and i also would get all the tracks build in my gigantic backyard :D

[_--NZ--_[HUN]]

I always loved the XRT, that's why I bought a Starion :D
If I win the lottery I'll buy a widebody Starion, an RX7 and a 3000 GT interior and I'll combine these to build a real life XRT :)

[Byku]

XRT also :p... and maybe an LX6 ;).

[mdmx]

Umm. None of them. :) Pay developers for license wtf? :) I just don't see any sense in that.

I would probably buy some WRC car instead, as there is 4months of snow and lot's of gravel roads. As a toy, and maybe to drive some N-series rally :)

Also would buy S2000 racing car and start to drive the league. Very close battles in there, and driving costs are not too high so can finance it several years with your lottery won. In GTR or F1 lottery won or single oil well is not enough to keep doing it. :) In LFS XF GTR is that kind of car.

Hmm, like-a-XRT car (rwd tbo with +200hp, and old looking chassis) is not that big deal. All you need is a decent job, and you can easily buy (and build) one.

Older Nissan SX200, Toyota Supra, Sierra Cosworth, Mitsu Starion, etcetc.. You can get and tune one up with less than 6k. I used to own SX200 S13, you can very easily get 300hp out of it. With 10k (car + tuning) it would be +400hp.

So definitely no need for lottery or oil wells there.. :)

you dont get the point he means he would buy a licence for like xrt from devs and would start mass production cars called xrt just for lfs and yes i would choose xrt too even make it popular between drifters that they think they just have to have one
edit: i re-read the post, ok u got it right but i would still love to do my idea :D

[hazaky]

FXO probably, i really like it :)

XRT is ... well, im not really into it. But its still a nice car.

[manneF1]

Lx6 and Mrt:thumbsup:

[BOSCHO]

FZR and FXR aaaand lx8 / the non existing one /

[colonio]

i'd build the sciroc- uh no wait :schwitz:

[Drifter89r]

XRT:thumb: or maybe LX6

[DodgeRacer]

UFR, can you imagine how much fun a mini with coilovers and slicks and a fast reving (motorcycle?) engine in it would be?

[GianniC]

For using in daily life: XFR or RAC.
For racing pleasure: FXR.

[profike]

Lx6 and Mrt:thumbsup:
MRT is a real life car :)

[ATHome]

XFG :D

Yes, I know, I could also buy an old Fiat Punto :D

[manneF1]

MRT is a real life car :)

Sorry, only Lx6 then :thumbsup:

[5haz]

Fox :thumbsup:

[senn]

LX4, but with a turbo engine

Followed closely by the XRT

I don't think i could road register an FZR

[CrAZySkyPimp]

:schwitz::tilt:

[jakeeatworld]

well tbh, as fun as this thread is there is no real point, all the LFS cars are based upon a real life car.
That argument aside, i would really like a XF GTR, because it is one of the only cars i can't think of a real life model to go with it, Renault Cleo or meganne(spelling) maybe, although the XRT does look very sexual indeed.

[DevilDare]

Fzr.

:schwitz::tilt:

this video is obviously a fake... the rac didn't spin once! :D

OT:
daily use: xfg (I guess it would be the cheapest to run ;))
fun: lx4 (I'm not going to kill myself in the lx6...)

[Furiously-Fast]

1st choice will be the XF GTR. Using a MkI Punto as a base car then modify it to look like a mini touring car.

2nd Choice will be the XR GT Turbo. Get a Starion or RX7 and put a widebody kit on it with a turbo

3rd Choice will be the LX4. Easy, just buy a Caterham classic. :razz:

[profike]

+1
and it didnt need 2 km to brake for a corner

[jrd.racer]

Xrt... and the GTRs.
edit: i saw that vid yesterday and i couldnt belive it. The RAC in RL seems to handle waaaaay better. Look at him swinging the car from side to side and not having to countersteer a big slide.

[Furiously-Fast]

That looks like the '05 Raceabout with 2 Exhausts and LED lights.. Maybe the company fixed the problems the old one had, so it handles alot better. :razz:

edit: Did anyone notice how laggy the gear number in the dials is?

[e.M]

yes i did

[Sponge]

The FXR and/or UFR I guess.. but the FO8 would be cool too..

(somewhat look-a-like of a lr 'UFR' click (http://www.forestminis.nl/imageshowroom/a-39-foto2-groot.jpg))

[-NightFly-]

actually LX is not that hard to build, it's based on Lotus super seven and it's being build under different names all over the world, so LX is basically lotus super 7 under different name for me (they even do in here, estonia: http://images.google.ee/images?q=estfield&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:et:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=et&tab=wi )
(http://images.google.ee/images?q=estfield&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:et:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=et&tab=wi)

XFR or XRR for me :)

[Tomba(FIN)]

UF1 and give it a little tweak

[three_jump]

UF1 and give it a little tweak

like a new chassis + engine? :D

[hp999]

Hmm...

XRT,XRR,LX6 and RAC please. From IRL - 200sx&240sx.

[westfield bend]

I would get:
Z cars mini - 'UFR'
Caterham/westfield/lotus 7 - 'LX6' (or maybe even build a westfield with a V8 and make the LX8 that was never made)
Formula Renault (for sprints and hills) - 'FOX'

[profike]

Hmm...

XRT,XRR,LX6 and RAC please. From IRL - 200sx&240sx.
RAC is a real life car :)

[piggy501]

FXO :)

It would be a practical thing, and I like the looks of it. And I like the handling.

[nikopdr]

The Scirocco.


Oh wait... :razz:

[skstibi]

First choice would be FZR. Second would be FZ5.

I personally think my 944 drives better than the XRT. I am going to get a 944 turbo but that would put the XRT to shame by far :D

LX6 would have been on my list but all I have to do is buy a Westfield and build myself one special 194CI chevy inline 6. (Add a small turbo and some semi-slicks?) Hell, how about slap a small v8 in there?

[Alistair]

UFR, can you imagine how much fun a mini with coilovers and slicks and a fast reving (motorcycle?) engine in it would be?
been done it's called a z-car, fiberglass mini boydyshell on a spaceframe with a motorbike engine

No way :)

[james12s]

dream would be an FXR but an LX6 would be the most realistic and if i build a caterham 7 or similar then ill do that as much as i can. but im planning on turning my car into a bit of an XFR, if i get a car to just have for track driving im gonna have it graphiced up in the ukct skin

[Luke.S]

FZ5 but with awd and twin turbos. That would be a seller. But with the torque split 60% rear.

[SkyNet]

LX6 aka R500 or CSR260 :)

[bmwe30m3]

FBM, MRT, VWS, RAC, BF1
Built them, now what do i get?

[dadge]

BF1. sell it, buy a scooby doo 22b.

[blackbird04217]

LX4 / LX6 - Considering this is a life goal of mine I am sure I will do it, in about 10 more years. (Not built to LFS Specifications though.)

[TypeRacing]

FBM, MRT, VWS, RAC, BF1
Built them, now what do i get?
http://www.solanotwins.com/Images/half-eaten%20cookie%202.gif
Becose MRT and RAC is not nice.

[LiveForBoobs]

I would make a Blackwood racing track, even paying for those windmills... :)

[ACCAkut]

Would make me a RAC, but my version would carry a rear anti roll bar as well, and most likely a VQ35DE, not that Saab turbo brick :tilt:

FXR in real life? Last gen DTM Calibra.... :smileypul but with a Scooby engine :razz:

[profike]

Hey guys, did you knew that VWS, RAC, MRT and FBM ARE REAL LIFE CARS SO DONT WRITE THEM HERE CAUSE THEY ALREADY ARE BUILD IRL !!!
Im not shouting :)

[ChiliFan]

that doesn't mean you can't build them again

[Uke]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uX9m91ici8&feature=related

:schwitz::tilt:

@ 0:41

Could you do that in lfs with default settings?

Makes me sad..

[profike]

that doesn't mean you can't build them again
It does, since other people are already building it and you would violate there copyrights or whatever.

[blackbird04217]

Are you talking about building to 'exact' specifications?

I stated I'd like to build an LX4/LX6. In real life these cars are comparable to Lotus 7's, Caterham's etc. Or the popular choice for builders; a 'locost'. This doesn't violate copyrights, yet I would still consider when I do end up building mine that it will be like an LX4/LX6 depending on how I do the build.

Eitherway, it wouldn't violate any copyrights or laws to build something to the specifications of a RAC, MRT, BF1 etc - it would only do so if you tried commercially selling it to race teams or the public for that matter. For personal use there isn't anything anyone can do with you buying all the parts and following a pattern/specification etc... It only fails legally when trying to sell the product or trying to patent the idea as your own.

[Demon Illidan]

Xrr .

[Sueycide_FD]

RB4 built to GTR spec. :D

[southamptonfc]

Bf1

[fab_iceman_67]

Lx4 ! the most exiting car in lfs :)

[rockclan]

I'd love a XFG as real car:Looking_a:thumb::thumb:

[superxp]

FZ5, maybe with one or two turbochargers :D

[e2mustang]

rb4 and fzr. the most sexy cars in lfs :lovies3d:

[alland44]

Definately the Uf1000 !!

[Asphalt Scream]

I would like to build the RB4, maybe no the fastest or the coolest but for me it is very fun to drive. Then I will build the XRT and RAC

[profike]

RAC already exists

[Jordan2007]

FOX or LX4

[Asphalt Scream]

RAC already exists

Oh man you are right, I completely forgot!
Well at least it's one car less to work on.
