Nominations for the Last of the V8 Interceptors, Best car to use for Mad Max

*Chase Bansi* Team Bansi Darkwind Guru Merchants Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 693 Joined: Aug 13, 2007 So obviously we don't have a 73' XBGT Ford Falcon to choose from. We do have some truly awesome cars to work with though. What would you choose to stand in for Max's Pursuit Special and why. Of course it will need an over sized exposed engine and no weapons. Depending on which version (MM1 or MM2) it may be equipped with extra fuel tanks. I'm actually thinking the humble Phoenix with a 5LV8 may have the best look. As far as the yellow MFP cars the police car or Windsor would be first choice, but which other sedan would look the part? ......................... marshal vet gateautumn wv e2g0,1,0 Posted Feb 6, 2008, 6:23 am

madmax MainForcePatrol Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 560 Joined: Dec 6, 2007 Nah we need the proper car. Ford XB Falcon witha 5lV8 exposed and roof and tail spoiler. Black must be a color option. But short of that I think the pheonix looks somwhat similar. ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 6, 2008, 12:01 pm Last edited Feb 6, 2008, 12:02 pm by madmax

LOL, no... AMX http://www.musclecarclub.com/musclecars/amc-amx/images/amc-amx-1968c.jpg Ford XB Falcon http://www.falcongt.com.au/xb2dgt.jpg OK, upon closer inspection, they do look similar. It's weird how American car companies release much cooler versions of American cars in Australia. In Australia Pontiac still makes awesome V8s, I am so jealous. ......................... vet marshal raceL1 wv Posted Feb 7, 2008, 4:16 pm

That is a common misconception, one I used to suffer from also. I found this site Mad Max Movies has the most complete collection of information on the web. They have a history section for the actual car that has awesome info. However the forum there is un-moderated and often inflammatory. ......................... marshal vet gateautumn wv e2g0,1,0 Posted Feb 8, 2008, 7:24 pm

In Australia Pontiac still makes awesome V8s, I am so jealous. I love vintage Australian muscle cars, because the style looks very "American" to me (as opposed to, say, European or Japanese cars) and yet they still look completely different from anything I'm used to seeing.  It's always funny how people try to map the Interceptor onto a car they know.  AMX and Ford Torino are probably the most common.  As a kid, I always assumed the Interceptor was an early 70s Mustang. ......................... vet Posted Feb 9, 2008, 7:56 pm

Roadrunner/Superbird We have this car in game now. Being EXTREMELY rare, it's nearer to impossible to find one in the wilderness. Check the DW wiki for game info on it. You can, however, make a custom event and drive the "Race" version called the "Speedbird" with a Nitro booster.... OR...... Drive the "Deathrace" version called the "Flame-Runner" with mounted flamethrowers. ......................... vet marshal wv cont Posted Feb 9, 2008, 9:22 pm Last edited Feb 9, 2008, 9:25 pm by JD_Basher

*Chase Bansi* Team Bansi Darkwind Guru Merchants Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 693 Joined: Aug 13, 2007 Gotta love those Superbirds! Only car ever outlawed by NASCAR. But then I'm a diehard Petty fan and I probably bleed STP. Without the wing it would stand in fairly well. I wonder how tough it would be to add a similar nose to the Phoenix? of course then I'd want the fuel tanks too. ......................... marshal vet gateautumn wv e2g0,1,0 Posted Feb 10, 2008, 9:15 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Ooh nice! I was just discussing this with Jim and actually have a better proposal than adding custom skins (although we can do that too, the code is 90% written for it) - the idea is to allow multiple decals per car and to allow you to interactively position and scale them, while viewing them on the 3D model - rather than have their position and size predetermined. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Feb 10, 2008, 9:07 pm
