I think it may have been about 3 months, but it probably varies between developers. There was some initial confusion in that they thought we were implying their cars were licensed vehicles, but they were still helpful and it was nice to know that they had viewed IGCD :) There are probably other games where the developers should be utilised like this.

The developers of the GTA games were actually based in Scotland. Maybe their designers liked the Escort Cosworth so much (it was one of the greatest hot-hatchbacks of the 90s, and it was also successful as a rally car, Jeremy Clarkson was a big fan) they decided to put into the game, even though it was never available in the US (and thus was probably never street legal), which is where the cities in GTA are located. Perhaps in the game it is a gray import, I don't think you see it driving around in traffic, in Liberty City one is hidden in a courtyard, so it's like a secret car.

I don't see why it would, I actually emailed the developers of Motorstorm asking the same question and they obliged. Are there any specific cars that need confirmation such as this?

How about somebody emails Rockstar games, telling them about the site, and asking them if they could tell us what the cars in the GTA games were inspired by/based on?

Would this be a good idea, or not? Would they mind that we've taken captures from their game, it wouldn't breach any copyright, would it?

To be honest I think many of the cars on this site are just named randomly. This doesn't look more like a DB7 than another car and in the game it's not even very fast. Someone has named the Superbike as a Ducati 999, it could be any sportsbike!

This car isn't very fast and it isn't very exclusive (it's the car you start off next to at the very beginning of the game), so I don't think of this as an exotic sports car like the DB7.

"The Contour was slightly larger than the Tempo and was only available as a sedan. By contrast, the European Mondeo was also available as a hatchback and a wagon."

Proves my point. The rear glass of this car is from the Mondeo hatch, thus it appears to be a Mondeo.

Despite ostensibly being set in the U.S., keep in mind that these games are developed in the U.K., so certain British cars have a habit of finding their way in, such as the Ford Escort Cosworth ("Cossie") and Ford Transit vans ("Transit").

Definitely an E-body Mopar with a Shaker scoop. Judging by the length of the hood, I'd say it's a 1970 or 1971 Dodge Challenger.
