The shape of the rear sides, rear window, C-pillar, door shape, and front bumper shape (except for the headlights of course) look much more like a 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette in my opinion; so I'd say that it's inspired by both the Camaro and the Corvette.

Strangely none of these details are that way on the Splitter; that one does seem to be exclusively inspired by the 1982-1992 Camaro, which is rather strange, assuming they're supposed to be race class/derby class versions of the same car.

Really dislike the re-design this thing got in Flatout Ultimate Carnage compared to Flatout 2.

In FO2 it really looked like a racing car (which it should, considering it's in race class), but now in FOUC it just looks like a fairly normal El Camino with a small number written on the side (which looks more at home in street class instead).

[quote=Burn Rubber]What the hell is a petrol sponge? O.o And yes, I'm a tree hugger. :p

[quote=Briggs & Stratton]This "sponge" is used to prevent air pockets in the fuel. These air pockets are caused by equipment vibrations and can eventually lead to a condition called vaporlock. When the engine is vaporlocked, it will not be able to start.

I'd think it's more meant as a funny term for "car with a high fuel consumption" (as in, it "sucks up" a lot of petrol, similar to how a sponge sucks op a lot of water), considering this plate is on a big V8-powered muscle car.

I have done some research and found that the LeCar you guys talk about is FWD.However this one here is RWD so it must be for sure a Renault 5 Turbo.


The Chili is FWD though, just like the LeCar.

The only difference is that the LeCar is front-engine front-wheel-drive (like literally every other FWD car in real life), whereas the Chili is rear-engine front-wheel-drive (which was only done once in real life, on a concept car in the 1930's). But regardless of the nonsensical engine setup it's still FWD in-game.

What's that second pic from?

Just Cause 1 doesn't have dynamic dirt on vehicles as far as I know, or is that exclusive to the Xbox version?

Most of the Soviet buses also have some modification options like round instead of square headlights (or the other way around), a driver's side door, alternate window frames, an alternate grille, an alternate steering wheel/dashboard, etc.

I assume those parts are from a (pre)facelifted/modernized version of it, these don't look like "custom" parts to me at least, so the production years might not be accurate.
I don't know enough about USSR buses to say that for sure though.

Appears to be a "normal" version of the Nucleon: igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=39105, although some details such as the grille shape appear to have been changed at a later point in development.

The rear fascia is also completely different, but lore-wise that could be explained as having been changed to fit the jet exhaust.

Interestingly the interior is just a recolored version of the Caddy Fat Cat's interior, with the only other change being the monster faces on the speedometer

The first game definitely had the greatest selection of classic cars by a mile ^^

Probably because it was originally planned to take place in the 1970's, and it was only decided later to change that to current day (well, 2006 current day :P)

Not entirely true, there was also a rally car based of the Vaz-2105 in 1978, 7 years before this one.

Despite not being stealworthy, it doesn't re-use the Red Eagle's interior (like all other non-stealworthy cars do); instead it re-uses the "normal" Annihilator's interior.

I have uploaded an interior screenshot of it nonetheless, maybe it's just meant to have the same interior as the "normal" Annihilator considering they're both top fuel dragsters.

On the left door of the car, it says, NATO Rules. According to Wikipedia...

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, also called the North Atlantic Alliance, is an intergovernmental military alliance based on the North Atlantic Treaty which was signed on 4 April 1949.

Well that made no sense.


The mechanic who repairs/modifies your cars in story mode is called Nato, I think it's more likely that this graffiti is a reference to the in-game character than that it's a reference to the real-world military alliance :P
