Really missing US Muscle

I love Assetto Corsa, I love muscle cars as well.

Classic US Muscle is one of the car categories sorely missing in the game. The only current official car that barely fits this lot would be the Shelby Cobra, but its actually an odd-ball since its a tuned up version of a British car. The modern Corvette and Mustang don't count.

It would be incredible to have US cars from the 50's, 60's and 70's in the game!!

There are several mods, mostly broken now after the newer game versions. Most of them are of terrible quality. Nothing beats official content.

Boy I miss the Motor City Online days...

 

A Dodge Viper would be pretty awesome. But arent those cars pretty bad to drive?

edit. Maybe youre talking about old Mustangs and cars like that? Im not even sure if a viper is considered a muscle car

 

Not for me; I prefer cars with finesse and good handling, not barges with wheels

 

I'm a muscle car fan but for this game the only kind of muscle cars I would care to see is 1970 SCCA Trans Am series cars.

And for the record a muscle car has to have 4 seats so the vette and viper are technically not muscle cars. They fall under the sports car banner.

 

As long as it's a classic car, I vote for ! I'd be pleased to see classic american stuff, but we lack so many european classic cars too, so that I don't mind the coming arrangement.

 

Im not really a fan of transatlantic motors but the 60s Mustang in GTL was great fun to drive.

 

I don't know if I really miss muscle cars but I'm generally of the opinion that there are many cars that are worth implementing and worth experiencing. I haven't driven any muscle cars IRL so I couldn't tell if they're great to drive or not until I do or experience it in a sim like AC. So why not? That said... no point in posting another wishlist, Kunos can't magically make it happen either. Stuff takes time.

Muscle or not aside, I don't think that applies to all of them. The latest ACR road, and GTS-R and GT-3R race cars come to mind. Very much cars I'd like to experience in a sim.

 

The ultimate Dream Pack for me.

 

I was actually thinking id like to see some 60's Trans Am cars or even the late 50's early 60's Corvettes that did so well in the endurance races.

Would love to see something like that.

 

I'm not really a muscle car guy, but you had me at Motor City Online.

 

+1 I would love to see a pack like this in-game!!!

 

Track ready muscle cars like those from the old Trans Am series would be cool. Although anything for the streets from the classic muscle car era might be annoying to drive on track. That old Douglas Adam's quite comes to mind "Looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers.... like a cow" hahahah

 

Long time ago...I had driven my dad's 1981 Chevy Malibu station wagon to its limit on local highways back on my home country (kids don't do this at home). It had a 350 c.u. V8 engine with double barrel carburetor. It probably had around 175HP with a 2000 kg weight. It was a blast, fairly nimble all things considered, would hardly classify as annoying. Compared to your average GT3, yes perhaps quite unresponsive. And it was a Chevy Malibu station wagon. A Firebird, Camaro or Challenger should be a lot nicer. A race-ready trans-am car, even better.

My point is: it would add variety to the game. We don't have anything like it today.

Different type of cars = more complete experience.

 

Not going to lie, I have asked both Aris and Stefano to make a game that is focused on the early to mid 70's trans am/camel series instead of something silly like AC2. I have also begged several top modders to fall in love with this idea, but so far no takers.
When I dream of what AC would be if I was in charge, this is what I dream of:

 

The people who complain about understeer in the classic porsches would have a field day with 70s Camaros, their suspension geometry is designed to create almost no front grip in corners.

 

If I knew how to build cars I would be on top of this in all honesty.

At least I have built two tracks for it.

 

Did you mean oversteer ?

 

No, there are really people complaining about understeer... In case of the 917/30 and 935/78 that's how those cars with spool rear axles are, as Aris explained.

I definitely wouldn't mind having those cars roaring in AC.

 

I'd like to work on something circa 1970 Trans Am, just waiting for proper reference material to turn up. Actually specifically I'd like to make the Gray Ghost Pontiac, just haven't got enough info yet.

 

Trans Am yes.

The road ones ? Pls no.
