looking for in-game SHO pictures

The NASCAR machine is perhaps the biggest joke in the Gran Turismo series. How many times have I stated that NASCAR race cars are not the same as their street car counterparts. Now sure, it's better to look at than a standard Taurus SHO, but "stock" cars are rear-wheel drive with powerful V8 motors. Plus, I don't think the damn car sounded anything like a stock car. As much as Speed Channel overkills NASCAR coverage, I should pretty much know what a stock car sounds like. If I wanted an unusual but cool vehicle from GT2, let it be the Renault Espace F1. Now THAT is a way to get kids to school and back, go to the supermarket, or take a road trip in. And, oh yeah... it has an F1 motor mounted midship. This son of a gun is for real! But if you'd rather have a "stock" car that never was, go ahead and race modify the Taurus SHO.

Sound off over. I'm done.

and breathe. Just relax now...
 
Now when I said "stock car that never was," I meant as in a stock car available by racing modification, but not your traditional stock car. Sorry for going off like that.

anyone who mods the SHO, dont do exhaust, it will lose the V8 sound

Yup, the Plymouth Roadrunner (muscle car) does this too if you get the sports or semi-racing parts...all the sudden it sounds like a cheap vaccuum cleaner and you can't hear those pistons anymore.
 
it drives really good,and I won many races with it.
With some good tunings,you have a well car in your hands.

So that Is why I couldn't get my #6 Nascar,I brought all the colours to get one. DOH!
 
guys, the owner of the thread wants screenshots.
but everyone's right...it's not worth it. a nascar paint job on a FF?
besides, NASCAR made a ruling that all the CARS are the same...the only difference is the headlight and tailight stickers, the sponser graphics, and how the car is set up for the driver. the body shell is standardized.
 
I think Wkeil is going to post screenshots...

Anyway, since everyone's seems to be so desperate for it, here's mine, enjoy it :)

By the way... those rims aren't the original ones from the racing modification, just ones that i bought. I didn't liked the others :P
 
how the blue did you get that to look that good. looks like the shot was cleaned up on the comp...or did you tweak the Hi-res mode for GT2? that's too clean O.o

Running GT2 on ePSXe emulator, just took the screenshot and resized the image to upload, did nothing else to the image.

Here's another one, so you can compare it to the other cars:

The car just looks great :D
 
hmm...must take advantage of the computer's higher capabilities for a better render. someone had pointed me toward Bleem, once, so I downloaded a beta of 1.4 before they went out of business. even with an old celeron, the games were lightning fast...I poked my GT2 in...and the demos that ran took the paint off the cars!
 
ePSXe is much better than Bleem, because there's many plugins for it, which allow you to tweak it to match a specific game and to your hardware.
For GT2 i have it's speed limited at 60fps, exactly the same it runs on PSX, and i'm using an OpenGL renderer that gives a nice look to all 3D models/textures.
I only have some minor glitches on race selection menus and also that black square you can see in the screenshots (standing position), everything else is fine. :)
 
okay...where do you get this PSX emulator, and how much does it cost? I'd love to see some of these craptacular early games of mine with more pixel concentration and less polygon leakage.
 
i have only recently gotten a good disk burning software. however, my copy of GT2 is pretty badly scratched, and the data would be corrupted.

You don't loose nothing by trying to create an image of your CDs on your hard disk. In fact, if your original CDs are scratched it's one more reason for you to do so, so you can have a backup before they stop working...
