It is really baffling .Shouldn't Spec 2 Qualify as DLC.I mean surely that will come with some cars ,features and maybe new tracks .So what's with DLC added later.
Only Explanation is Spec 2 is Free ,the DLC isn't.

Spec II will be a mandatory update, DLC will have to be optionally downloaded and eventually purchased from the Playstation Store.

Mandatory If you want to play online yes.But I am not really a Fan for DLC and I can see the debates about why Car X and Track Y weren't included in the Spec 2 update especially when it only a few weeks old.
A good Move by Sony is free DLC (not going to happen)I mean Players who are still now Playing the game and waitting for DLC are the hardcore fans so why not reward us.
Shoe in for the spec 2 is the Honda HSV and the FT-86 (remake)oh AND possibly the VW scirocco

Amar212 posted a cryptic message about Spec II and DLC contents quite some time ago. All the DLC will be available as a bundle or in separate chunks, probably half the price of the game was for the DLC on a disk.
Expect the Spec II update to enhance GT5 both in terms of functionality and graphically. It is practically the release of GT6 on the PS3. I wonder if Polyphony will just use GT5 as the platform for GT on the PS3 and then use the PS4 for GT6?

As pointed out, not all the NASCAR cars are the same. If you were a more keen sportscar racing viewer, you'd notice the 908s are two different specs, one for Le Mans and one for the LMES.

Amar doesn't know anything about what is going to be included in the DLC unless he didn't say.
I wouldn't mind regualery updating GT5 but At a point all combined DLC would eventually cost more then a new game to you.

If you do a search for one of his latest 'winds' posts, it pretty much describes whats going to be offered cryptically.
Amar hasn't been wrong with his winds as far as I am aware. He correctly guessed the revised release date for GT5 weeks before it was announced.

I'll wager that what Amar hopes we will see is what we will get... I'll eat my GT5 manual if I'm wrong (with some ketchup
).

Spec 2 = Major update to features/races etc.
DLC = Optional extra cars/tracks that users can choose to purchase.
What is wrong with the GT350.....
first off anyone that has driven an old Mustang knows that the one thing they never suffered from was oversteer. (the rear end being loose and having a tendancy to spin out) To paraphrase Carol Shelby about his own creation - "A nose heavy sled". The Mustang always suffered from a cronic case of understeer.
One of the major contributing factors was the inability to get tires wider than P215. The car would literally loose the front tires well before you ever got to the limit of the car. This also meant that it was a chore to get the rearend loose.
In the game the GT350 will loose the rearend in a heartbeat. Just not even close to being in tune with the real deal.
The actual handeling of those old Mustangs was AMAZING even with the small tire restrictions - in the game as soon as you start to put pressure on the car the rear end looses grip - the car gets twitchy - the real car never got twitchy period, it would handel great right up to the point where the tires would give out and then you'd start to 4 wheel skid/drift you'd take your foot off the gas and it would grab. In order to get the car to these limits was usually speeds that would be ridiculous.
What really bothers me is the '69 Z/28 RM. The Shelby's and Mustangs raced side by side w/ the Z/28 and won its share of races. Yes the two cars had differences Trust me I know one of my best friends was a Chevy guy he owned a '69 w/ a 350ci engine built the same as our (my brother and I's) Mustangs along with the suspention mods, and we looked at the back of that Camaro alot more than we'd like to admit..... But still there were cirtain things the Mustangs did better and others the Camaro was way better than the Mustangs.
In point of fact the Mustangs would eat the Camaro alive in S turns think Grand Vally's turns 2, 3, 4. then in long bending turns like at Fuji race track the Camaro would just kick our butts.
One of my pet peaves with the Game is the fact that in 3rd gear near
100mph in a turn and you hit the gas and whoosh there is the back end passing you by... TRUST ME NO WAY THAT COULD HAPPEN - the physics just don't equal out. At a full stop (our cars were set up to go around corners not to Drag race) you could light up the tires no problem right through most of second gear. By the time you got to 3rd gear the car was hooked up and moving - you might skreech the tires going into third but spin not going to happen. (we had a Ford Top Loader 4spd manual in the car)
So basically I'm bitching because they gave dodge and chevy prefered treatment and didn't do the same for my beloved Ford Mustangs

I would have thought this would be a sensible approach, given how long it took to deliver GT5, and the limited future life span of the PS3... the 'evolution' approach seems alot more sensible to me (i.e. to improve upon what is already there) rather than the painfully slow 'special creation' approach (i.e. making a new game from scratch). While I have enjoyed GT5, I've always had a nagging feeling that it was incomplete, and (sadly) nowhere near what it could have/should have been. Here's hoping that Spec 2.0 brings us more of the good stuff - almost a year after an already hideously late release, it really ought to be pretty good.

I think it's fairly safe to say that DLC will not be free. PD have been adding content to GT5 with every update. If the free Spec II update brings some substantial changes to the game, the DLC mentioned in the same tweet is bound to come with a price tag. Otherwise it would have just come packaged free with Spec II, like new cars and tracks were with GT5
rologue.
The largest aspect to Spec II's content i suspect is whatever programing is needed to shoe horn the upcoming DLC into the existing data.

Sometimes (though rare) there might be DLC for size reasons; not necessarily because it comes with a price tag but because it might be unpractical to push it to every online user through game updates.

I'd tend to agree with this. In my view the Spec 2 update will be the compulsory download part that sets up the mechanism for downloading tracks/cars. The size of these add-ons means they would have to be downloaded separately.
No indication has been given about cost/free so we just have to wait and see about that.
I'm trying very hard not to start thinking about what I hope will be in this update because I just want to enjoy what I get and not be disappointed because a feature I want isn't included.

As a long time Gran Turismo player i'd realistically reel in what ever expectations you have for Spec II by about 65%.

Wasn't TGS a few weeks ago.Why didn't they show us a trailer of what to Expect ,would have Pumped us even more.
Missed chance for PD.

i asume they didn't want to hype it too much. We all remember when pre relase trailers drove us insane and when game hit market a lot of people were confused because game didn't play as good as trailers....
They have learned ! 💡

I dont think and really cant imagine that we will get more then one DLC. The game is 1 year old, PD is brutaly too late for DLC. I would say 80% of the 5 (or 6?) million buyers have no more interest in GT5 and any DLC(11 months after release). We here are different but the casual gamer plays a game 1 maximum 2 months...
Now if they give the gamers an DLC, get PD´s attention again and then after the first DLC, as we know PD, the second DLC will come next summer or fall or so. Marketing section @PD/Sony seems really ages ahead.

Because they are PD who don't care to inform us what will be, everything that PD does is hidden in stealth. Only when it comes out is when we find out.
