GT1 cars

[hsrdragger]

Are there a lot of cars that are in GT1 that aren't in GT2? I'm probably going to buy it used...is there a list somewhere of the cars in GT1!
Thanx
Yes, I have GT2 (over 215 cars, and counting)

 

[misnblu]

Hmmm, valid question. Anyone know??
I looked at the gtplanet for answers and couldnt find a list for any of the cars.
Here is an excellent site for the gt1 gamer. It gives a list of cars, a how to be a better driver page, and more good stuff.
Hit the "CLICK HERE for the COMPLETE FACT SHEET! " for the scoop on the cars and much more.
Hope this helps.

yeah, there is the GTO Twin Turbo LM Edition, Nissan Skyline LM Edition (that cool blue & white one that was in LeMans...that should've put that one in GT2 ) and the Purple Concept Car (that's a wicked car :gnasher:)

 

[misnblu]

Unfortunately thats one game I have never played.
Id like to own it one day and may look at some of the pawn shops for one. It would be neat and kinda old school to play the game.
:gt: 1 is about the same as :gt: 2 and the gameplay should be the same.
Another one for the collection perhaps??

by it used, it's not worth buying brand new

 

[misnblu]

Yeah, I plan to. :smilewink:
No use in getting the game new although it probably pretty cheap right now.

gran turismo 1 was the best game i'd ever played.
then i played gt2.
then i played gt3.
then i went nuts waiting for gt4.

a quick question:

we all know how hard the graphics in GT3 go, and after seeing GT3, GT2 leaves a bit to be desired...

how good/bad was GT1 for its time?

 

[misnblu]

About the same as the gt2 graphics.
They were pretty close from what Ive seen.
Ive only played it once, but the graphics were quite similar to the gt2 game.
Oh and gt1 was the benchmark of the day when it came to being the best.

how the heck did you get 215 cars, i though you could only have 100 MAX!

Gt1-- in its time it was king. remember its competion was like 'jaleco's Tokyo Highway battle' and 'ridge racer' You will be amazed by the grip of the cars in gt1, but the graphics will leave you flat. If you have the ps2 make sure to enable 'smooth textures' this will make the original grainy graphics looked airbrushed on, but you will see some polygonal artifacts around the trees.
I just bought gt1 (my 4th copy {lost, damaged, "borrowed"} i have been replacing that game since day 1)
I would have paid the original retail for it. In our context gt1 is classic. In the world context it is classic. It is a must own for the enthusiast.
Essentially, most cars in gt2 are in gt1. there are some in gt1 that are not in gt2, but worse some of the cars from gt1 (like the del sol lm, for example) are only obtainable in gt2 through all golds on the license exams.
--long story short BUY IT

I miss the GTO Twin Turbo. But all in all GT2 is way better. What I really miss are some of the tracks like Autumn Mini, SS Rt. 11, etc...

I forgot about the concept car in GT1. It was GT1's answer to the Escudo. Out-and-out unfair advantage.

 

[hsrdragger]

Yes, the maximum on ONE memory card is 100 cars. But when you have 4 cards, I can easily fit the almost 280 cars on the 4 cards.
-PS. Almost down wityh all the dealership races (4 more to go )

Manufacturers in GT1: Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Aston Martin, TVR, Chevrolet, Dodge. Needless to say, there were a lot less Kei cars (those producng about 63hp in stock trim) and less sedans. A lot of the JGTC and pure racing cars weren't in GT1.

Some cars have insane amounts of power in GT1 (Megaspeed Cup anyone?), and not in GT2. There's about 180 or so cars in GT1, and about 600 in GT2...do the math and making a list right here is a ridiculous waste of time.

I think the focus of GT1 was to buy a car, soup it up, modify it, and race it from bone-stock Sunday Racer to an eventual racing's-my-only-profession machine. The flow of the game is more along those lines than GT2 is.

GT2 put more of a focus on going into higher echelons of racing, in my opinion, and GT3 really ran with that concept to pure racing game. It appears that GT3 is half racing cars, from the little I've seen.

I think GT was really a novel concept, and I myself wasn't impressed with the game the first time i played it. I was more interested in racing real racing cars on real courses, not the fantasy that it was. But after getting hooked on GT2 like a crack fiend, I see that the Gran Turismo series is really 3 games in one, a racing game, a fantasy game, and a true first-person experience.

I think that GT's popularity really came out of left field, and surprised Sony quite a bit. Two friends of mine that never gave driving games a second look were both GT1 (and eventually 2 and 3) gearheads before long, asking me about things like
"What's a racing line?" "How come Skylines aren't sold in the U.S.?" and "NOW I see why you're hooked on racing games..."

So to answer a question, here's some GT1-only cars:
Nissan Silvia LM
Toyota Chaser LM

There's also some cars with tremendous amounts of horsepower. The Supra RZ, GT-R, Cosmo, Soarer, 3000GT/GTO, etc.

Multiple memory cards. Or some crazy cheat.

YES! You summed it up perfectly, Pupik. I had a Playstation a few years ago and ended up selling it due to lack of interest... I never got GT; I didn't even think I'd like it. But then my father-in-law, who is into role-play games, got PS2 for Christmas and gave me his PS1. I went and bought GT1 used for $10.00 and have been "hooked like a crack fiend" since. I want to buy a TVR Griffith for real, all because of GT. I look up manufacturer's websites in my free time (for pics like the one below). I think about Red Rock Valley when I pull out of the Parking lot at work. It's an illness really I have friend who bought a Subaru WRX just because of GT2. I watch professional racing and have the Speed Channel (Dish Network) on my favorites list (to my wife's dismay ) all because of GT. And I haven't even played GT3 yet!

The game is just so involved, just as detailed as any fantasy game, but much more action packed and reality based. There are the dreamy role-playing game types, and then there are the technical competitive types (at least among adults). Personally, I don't have the patience for most other games. The only other game I play, occasionally, is Colony Wars.

So I guess you could say it's changed my life on some level. LONG LIVE GT!

 

[Pupik]

Good luck getting that Griffith over these borders. The Feds will prefer you use it as a "racing car" only...learn about how to get imports into this country proberly, or some "man in black" may haul your beauty to the crusher.

I read a rumor that TVR may bulid a plant in the U.S., so maybe if that includes importing (domestic?) cars, then it's a-okay. Otherwise, it's an expensive process to get them U.S. legal. Not a pretty sight, and the tales to weal and woe for importing a single type of car into the U.S. are numerous!

There's a company in California that imports Skylines, I read the site and I think making the cars U.S. legal adds about $30-40K to the price tag.

Back on track, I bought GT1 for $5 used just to see what all the commotion was/is about. Something different, not Gt2 quality, but i go back to it every now and then. It's more fun trying to get a car from the dealership to race-track ready trim. GT2 doesn't have that same flow, really. You can get 3 or 4 cars ready to compete in the GT1 races. You really get to spend time with those cars, whereas in GT, you're always hopping from one car to another due to the regulations.

However, the depth of first-day cars in GT1 is pitiful compared to GT2, and then there are so many choices in Gt2 that after 2+ years, I'm only now close to racing every kind of car in the game. I'm still trying new cars, and playing around with others that I couldn't drive properly. I'm giving each car a budget to race with, rather than just fully-modding each car right after I buy it. So it's still fun.

Also in GT1, it's easier to get the del Sol LM and the FTO LM edition. the Impreza Rally car is much faster, and a lot lighter. The Hard-Tuned Challenge is still very tough. And the Arcade mode is actually a challenge, especialy if that '67 Vette rears it's ugly head.

Now I feel bad for staring this thread ...
-I spent the money on a GS, but I'm going to keep all the hybrid cars in the realm of reality!
-The first one that I'm planning on making is a 240sx K's AERO SE Sport Package with the engine from the Silvia AERO Spec R (or something like that) with the infamous SR20DET motor .
So now I will have 5 memory cards: 4 for GT2 (normal), and 1 for hybrids


I will buy GT1 later on because I want that Silvia LM


P.S. RIGHT NOW I HAVE MORE THAN 300 CARS, BOUGHT LEGALY (WITH USING THE GS)! :thumbsup:
P.P.S.-EVERYBODY GET OFF THE PLAYSTATIONS AND COMPUTERS AND PARTY-HARDY, CUZ ITS FRIDAY 😈

 

[Burnout]

could someone tell me how you got more than 100 cars without mroe than two games(not memery cards)

 

[milefile]

No.

 

[[R]viper]

there is list of cars at the back side of Japanese version

 

[askia47]

GT1 is also much harder than GT2 and in some events the cars have so much horse power like the Supra can be up-graded to
910hp!! try it!!

 

[milefile]

Remember the GTO Twin Turbo?

 

[Burnout]

yes, one of my favs, but it was to hard to get $ in gt1
