Now that you mention it, it is a bit strange to have the two M6 GT3s pad out the car list as unique cars when they're just different liveries and a set of lights and vents that could have been a customization option in GT Auto.
Both real C5-R #64 from since GT3 A-spec and new C8 ZO6 GT3.R......
Fact of the matter is though, that both are iterations of the same FIA-GT3 homologation entry, so nothing major was changed in the car. The same is true for the R8 LMS '15 & LMS Evo '19.Literally claims that all Mercedes did was "Facelift the Headlights"
The original 2015 model:
2020 Evo:
Not sure how you really classify that as just "Facelifting the headlights".
And what makes his complaint bizarre is that quite literally at present, there is only 3 truly "New" GT3 cars while the majority of the Field is literally Evos and a Mclaren (As well as that one stubborn team that continues to field the Aston depending on what series you watch). Hell, the GT World Challenge Asia is set to have, Gasp, another Evo courtesy of 2022 Super Taikyu Champions Team 5zigen and their 2022 Nissan GT-R GT3 Evo.
And that's where I find fault in his complaint: Somehow its "Lame" that PD included an evo model of a car that is already in the game, yet he seemingly has no complaints about the Audi R8 LMS Evo '19 which in effect is the same thing yet has been included in the Day 1 lineup of a car that is both in this game AND GT Sport (and it makes his statement of "Taking one real Corvette over 3 Real Mercedes" Look sillier when there has been 3 Real BMWs since GT Sport.)
It's not my place to interpret what he meant, but I would assume something like that it would be nice to have one actually existing Corvette when there are already several Mercedes available, so another one doesn't add that much to the game. In principle, I think I would agree, although I'm not sure that I would put the Corvette at the top of the list currently, when there is only a C8 GTE version and the actual C8 GT3 is not racing yet. The fact that there is no "real" C7 in game is maybe due to the fact that those were developed by Callaway, not Chevrolet itself.
Having the roof intake probably means they moved some radiators or other cooling, so could be a quite significant change.
Project 8 would be excellent 😎
I love the subtle animations in GT, always have. They're all really cool now. Active aero, pop-up headlights, glowing brake discs....it's all part of the magic for me. Those replays have always been such a huge aspect of playing GT. Learning where the 'cameras' are so you can flash your lights through a corner....ahh brilliant game!
