Comments:

I intially thought that this car was a Dodge Dart despite many other sites calling it a chevelle, the main reason for this is the very un-chevelle-like shape of the front of the car (Chevelles are larger with a bulge at the front) However an arial screenshot of lines on the hood and detail similarites like the indicators finally led my to admit that this is indeed a chevelle. Now that I have considered it more closly the car is actually a very good likeness of the Chevelle. Other than that this car is another good all rounder, although its high suspension on the PC does make it slightly bouncy. The only thing that really lets it down is its appearance on the PSX. When you look at this car you can see why it was left out of the game. (you need a Cheat cartridge like a gameshark to drive it). The car is nice but its proportions look wrong. It is too wide and low slung and too top it all the headlights match poorly. This a big consideration with a car that is driven at night at all times. When you look at the car with the no headlights cheat it doesn't look so bad but even so the appearance is nothing compared to that of the PC version.
