GT2 Photos

You're wrong It's an RM'ed 300ZX 2+2 Turbo from the New Car lot.
During preparing to take this photo, I had to drive both cars, and I must say the fully tuned 300ZX was so much better than the GT-R

Wow that's crazy. See, even after 5 years, GT2 still has some surprises in store for someone like me who thinks he's seen it all.

Thanks for that. I knew it's one of the used 300ZXs, but I forget which .

That must be because the GT-R is 4WD and the 300ZX is FR. 4WD --> understeer while FR --> neutral/a bit oversteer.

Well, the Pennzoil GT-R (as all the other GT-R racers) seemed totally dull - I could perform a full 360° turn while doing 200 km/h. That's not interesting ^^ The 300ZX felt way more alive.

True.

True.

Hence why one of my very favorite cars in GT2 is the Elise GT1

I've told this story many times before, but I don't think you guys have heard it yet. \\

4 years ago I was living in this house with like 4 other roommates. This new guy Dave moved into the room next to mine and we both lived in the basement. It was a nice, finished basement..cool in the summer ++

Anyways, he had been living there perhaps about a month. One day I'm sitting in my room bonging out and playing GT2 and Dave comes home. I had no idea he was a gamer who dug GT a lot, and he had no idea I had GT2!

So later on he's talking and he asks me what I was playing and i say "it's this racing game..Gran Turismo 2". Turns out he used to have this game but he had to sell his PS1 or something. But all a sudden we're both talking about cars and the game.

We used to have these legendary battles....soccer mom races--he in the Mugen Accord Wagon, I in the Honda Accord Wagon....stuff like that. But in really high-speed cars, Dave was way out of practice and couldn't control anything other than a Skyline (preferably all-wheel drive).

Since I had better skillz, I would then choose a Viper GTS (race kit on) and he would be in one of the prize GTRs. Some of the duels we had went on for 5 straight laps....

I hated it when he wrecked, though. The question in my mind at those moments would be do I wait for him to catch up again or do I keep going? Will I hurt Dave's feelings if I just pick up and slaughter a half a lap ahead of him, or should I wait?

Awkward moments...eventually I got in the habit of just telling him "BRAKE NOW!!" so he would eventually learn the best braking points.

Nice story 👍

Cool story PB, I wish I had someone to play with too, but none of my friends like simulation racing. They prefer arcade style NFS instead of the greatest racing game of all time 👎. I used to play a lot with my uncle though, but he's so busy with work and family now that I feel bad to ask him to play with me.

AAZ: For the same reason as you, my favourite car in GT2 is the TVR Speed 12 (and to a lesser extent Ford GT90) . Oh yes, I love getting out of control in a 800 horsepower supercar .

Hey don't feel bad...I haven't had anyone to play GT with for 3 years now. My nephew has Forza, but so far he only has 1 controller so we can't go head-to-head till I buy a 2nd one (not likely right now) or he gets a paper route or something and gets one for himself.

Isn't this nice, despite the graphics?

 

[Parnelli Bone]

Yeah, great shot. AAZ. +Rep

Here's some really old photos of some hybrids i found on gamefaqs.

Of course, in that thread, i left out the best one, the track car. I couldn't get a pic of it because it was too big! To download the save, click the link in the first post. (if it still works, it's over 2 years old )

EDIT: Doesn't work anymore, try here:
