Maybe a bit of tunability is sacrificed for greater stock power. The same is true for the TVR Griffith models (Blackpool B340 and 500) and the modern TommyKairas (mainly the R33 and R34-based models).

Ah, maybe it is the added complexity that modified parts add to the engine to gain greater stock power that makes tuning less straightforward, therefore many better-quality parts whose installation results in greater horsepower are unavailable to the cars with better stock ratings (The Corvettes and Griffiths use similar engine blocks). Or, older engines cannot use newer parts, mainly in the case of the TommyKairas.

Yeah. Maybe that's it. The simpler things start from the factory, the more mods you can do on the aftermarket.
I remember years ago when i was 14
watching IMSA races as faithfully as i could. Back in those days, Toyota would back Celicas but not Supras for their world-class events. Maybe that's kinda the same thing.

Clio II 1.6 16v in pearl Black.
This is my own car which has done nearly 90,000 (abusive
) miles.
The 1.6 16v is not a particularly quick car or very tunable one in GT2 (or in real life for that matter haha) they are only 110 bhp but I felt it was worth adding it to the collection regardless.
Sorry for the poor game shots taken with a camera for comparisons.

Hey i think your Clio looks sweet. I wouldn't mind having a ride like that, even with lowish power. 👍

Aston Martin DB6.
It must be a very good-looking car to have so many pictures with a high pixel count.

The Clio looks sweet and modern in the photo, as compared to the Clio in the game which looks like an outdated car. Good stuff.
The DB6 is one of a few cars in the game that have quite the same level of detail as the real one. Others being Datsun 240Z and Toyota 2000GT (old one, not TRD version). The designers definitely put more effort into these classics than into newer cars.

Very much agreed, but they can't seem to find the right amount of sidewall for these classics...

AE85 comes before AE86, so naturally it's slower and technologically less advanced. The AE85 has a 83hp (not sure) SOHC inline-4 engine while the AE86 has a 126hp DOHC inline-4 engine. The suspensions are also different, the AE86's being more superior. Aside from that there are minor differences in body styling but they are very very similar from the outside.

I believe that the stock Levin should be slightly lighter than the stock Trueno if both have similar interiors; the exposed headlights on the AE85 weigh less than the flip-up system on the Trueno. GT2 does not record these differences, however.

The difference might only be a few grams, so it shouldn't matter too much...And the Trueno is the sport version of the Levin, so maybe Toyota had done some incremental weight reductions so that when they install the pop-up lights the weight will still be the same. One thing for sure though, that pop-up light does add a lot of drag at high speeds.

This is one thing i noticed very early in my GT1 days.
Okay, when you buy weight reductions, your car gets lighter. Fine. But when we buy lighter flywheels, and a carbon shaft, it doesn't! Huh?
Shouldn't these mods (small as they are) result in at least some lost pounds or kg???

It does. Look very carefully at the weight of your car before and after.
But I'm not serious, sadly. The weight lost is really in the performance of the car.

You're saying if i change flywheels and the driveshaft there is a weight difference that shows up in the garage? Hmm, how could i miss that? I'm sure i didnt

Ha! that's what i wanted to do with my Clio after i found i couldnt give it any power!
