SLRR cars and what they are based on

[Dogbrain]

I was interested in the cars SL models was based on already in early 2000's when I got my hands on v 1.31 (build 237).

So... Remo was without a doubt a Volkswagen Jetta gen2.
Coyot looked like Opel Astra to me but in the SLRR it was sent to Duhen which is obviousely Honda. Then I saw a bit of resemblene with a Toyota Corolla (at least it's japanese).
Axis is like a Calibra with a rear from BMW E23. But it's also a Duhen. This made me think that Duhen consists of Honda and Opel.
A Whisper or should I say - a Viper is also obvious. PFAA would be like a Dodge. But what is a Naxas then? Hauler's Super duty is obviousely a Dodge RAM. But it's a Hauler's.
Then came Stallion. I thought it was a Mustang as it had a V8 in the first version. Only in Redline it received a V6. When I saw its interrior, it became similar to a Lexus, especially with its 3.2 or 3.5 liter engines which are Japanese. But Stallion is an MCA (Muscle Cars America).
Kurumma is a Camaro. Also an MCA. This brings us to MCA being a Chevrolet.
Yotta. In the first vrsion it had a V8. Here it has an inline 6 and is stuck to Baiern. Or should I say - BMW. CoupeSport is clearly an E34.
Codrac... A Škoda Octavia with a modified rear? That would explain why it is an Einwagen.
Teg...
Zed...
Can anyone comment on that?

Not sure about Teg or Zed

Zed follows the Toyota MR2 with the same RWD and MID engine mount.

SL 1 cars had no brands so they were just assigned to exiting ones in SL 2.

E34? You mean E36.

from promods forum:

Axis - Nissan Silvia s14
Badge - Dodge Charger 1970
Codrac - Chevrolet Cobalt
Coyot - Toyota Corolla e120 sedan
Furrano - Ferrari Enzo 2002
Kurumma - Chevrolet Camaro IV 2002
Naxas - Honda NSX 2002
Ninja - Honda Civic V
Remo - VW Jetta II
ST9 - Mazda RX-7, Mazda MX-3
Stallion - Ford Mustang IV
Sunset - Mitsubishi Eclipse II
Teg - Honda Integra / Acura RSX
Whisper - Dodge Viper 2002
Yotta - Toyota Supra

Isn't CoupeSport a 5-series? E36 is a 3rd generation 3-series.

If I find the CD, I'll try (can't promise) to install the Activision version of SLRR later. Maybe I can find some differences there. In the Steam version there is a mess.

I also thought that the Stallion is 99-04 Mustang, but when I saw the interrior, it reminded me a Lexus model, I can't remember what exactly. But I saw one on youtube where speedo digits were written like on Škoda and it had a large split to two dial like on the Stallion. Sorry, can't remember and my laziness doesn't let me browse all Lexice models to find it. :) By the way, it has a japanese 3.2 and 3.5 V6 motors. Mustang has 3.8V6 and 4.6V8. God I love the Terminator... It's in my dream list for a long time.

SuperDuty looks like Ram. Badge is more like '69 Pontiac GTO Judge. That would mean Hauler's is Dodge and Pontiac. But Viper is PFAA. Naxas is PFAA too. If Prime DLH is the first Mustang, it is also a PFAA.

If Duhen inc. is Honda and Toyota (and Nissan), then it should have included Yotta, Teg, Zed and Naxas. Now Teg is a Volkswagen, Zed is a Subaru, Yotta is a BMW and Naxas is even more unknown.
Kurumma and MC GT are MCA, that means MCA is Chevrolet. That way the Stallion doesn't fit in it either way let it be a Mustang or a Lexus. Codrac (or Cobalt SS) is also a Volkswagen.

As for ST9, both Mazdas run on Wankel and none of theem has an I4 or a V6 (which was available in first version). In SLRR it's a Mitsubishi.

The only clear models here are Subaru Impreza, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, Honda Civic, Honda Civic Del Sol, BMW 525, Mitsubishi Lancer, Mitsubishi Eclipse, '70 Chevrolet Camaro and '96 Chevrolet Camaro.

Obvious models but with mixed makes include Nissan Skyline R32, Dodges Viper and RAM, all mentioned Nissans and Toyotas, Honda NSX, Ferrari Enzo and '04 Chevrolet Cobalt SS.

The badge, which also has a GTO version, Prime DLH, Stallion and ST9 are left on the mystery side of the matter.

3-series has coupe and cabriolet version.

I think it's possible that the creators of the game-cars had more than one real car as inspiration.

'69 Pontiac GTO Judge looks totally different from the side and the back.

I really would not seek any logic in manufacturers of SL 1 cars, as they were just added to SL 2 in this version.

About ST9, Mazda MX-3 had I4 and V6, and the wankel would mean more complexity for the game, so would not rely on that.

You've got me here.
I mixed up MX3 with RX8. You know. One thing in mind, another on the tip of the tongue. :)
And MX3 didn't have Wankel. My mistake again.

About SL1 → SL2 cars, my personal opinion is that when transferring them, Activision (or ImageCode) screwed up a bit by assigning makes to the models.

But to think again, putting everything to their correct spots would possibly pose a threat of copyright and licencing claims from auto makers. Again my opinion. :)
