I remember fully tuning this little firecracker and BLOWING THE DOORS off of a stock Chevelle 454 on Tokyo R246. My friend was shocked, to say the least

[@Txrismo]

I want this car to return so badly, it's so OP lmfao

[@garynumanfan]

I recently bought one of these in GT5 gave it a engine rebuild etc etc it is a cracking little sport car.

[@thehotshotcentral1221]

Numanoid Jeff literally?

[@shadmonk]

i have a real one!

[@projectilequestion]

What is it like to drive?

[@X1erra]

Brought this car to the European Events' 1000 miles in GT4. Was definitely not dissapointed driving this on the Nurburgring as it has a lot more tire life than the lead Mercy SL 300, took the lead out of tire life superiority and I kept up a consistent pace afterwards because it's so fun to drive.

[@davidbennettracing538]

Oh, you've bought back fond memories of GT4 for me with this car- God it was fast around a twisty circuit!

[@EpicB]

While the G4 may be gone from the GT series at least for now, I'd like to see some newer Ginettas in the game.

[@MrShidPasta]

I miss this car :'(

[@MuscleCarLover]

Funny to think that a strong man can probably bench press this car

[@HSGAutomotive]

Yeah :)

[@thehotshotcentral1221]

Musclecarlover7 but obviously stronger than the man when being pulled.

[@MuscleCarLover]

That is true

[@CplCheeto]

I know this is a old video but if you put the medium turbo on this it gets 277hp. I had a 330mph tune for special stage 7 that would allow me to draft people in way faster cars and keep up with them. played around with a friend in a x2010 red bull fan car and got the ginetta up over 450mph but as soon as I left draft it was like hitting a wall at a weird degree and started bouncing all over.

[@davidbennettracing538]

I miss my Ginetta G4... :-(

[@toxic3714]

It was my favorite car in the whole game, sadly my ps3 died yesterday

[@TheRacingOtaku]

The G4 was great fun to drive in this game. Although, it is a damn shame that they dropped this and the Interceptor for more pointless Miata, Skyline, RX-7, and S2K duplicates.

[@EpicTyphlosionTV]

Why the hell didn't they include this in GT6?

[@HSGAutomotive]

I'd guess licencing issues on how much they wanted to be paid etc

[@vagineergaming]

Can you do a top speed tune for the Toyota Supra 2.5GT Twin Turbo R '90? Surprised you haven't done one yet.

[@HSGAutomotive]

This tune works for both : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqWYgqGbhZiGm9k

[@PedzRR]

Such a great car :')

[@foreignerhill]

Such a shame. I'd love to race this. That weight is insane. Would corner godly on my custom Mountain Pass tracks.

[@thehotshotcentral1221]

mini gt.

[@martinvassilev9828]

I miss the Ford GT90 and TVR Speed 12 from GT2

[@MuscleCarLover]

Isn't the Speed 12 in GT6???

[@MuscleCarLover]

Isn't that what it is though?

[@HSGAutomotive]

The version featured on GT2 was known as the 7/12, and was also made into the blue and white GT1 style race car which was featured on Top Gear.

[@MuscleCarLover]

Just did some research, it was the concept to the Cerbera Speed 12 and in GT was later changed to the finalised version
