What about that Castrol Mugen Accord? I was :confused: when I saw that, and even more when I found those two Acura Integras.

That's a possible leftover from the demo. That car would be used for racing car placeholders.

Oh well :indiff: , there's more to be discovered. So, anything new Xenn?

Here's an additional Lancer Evolution V Rally Car that I found. You can't buy it or modify it. Weird. One possibility could be that this was the second color scheme for the original Evo. V Rally Car, but got scraped out:

I believe you race against it as a ghost. But I'm not so sure :indiff: I'll keep posting as I find more rides. For now, here's a Ford GT40 Mark III, since the link that someone posted showing this ride is dead:

As you can see, the GT40 has it's stats defaulted to the RX-7, mainly because it's body only. And an interesting note, the trunk and the roof are colored black along with it's number 6 :odd:

And lastly (for now :sly: ), here's a [R]Fiat 500R '75:

Cool, try to use PNG if possible though, JPG leaves that ugly compression :yuck:
 
Also, for the best screenshots, use these resolutions:

PAL
320x256 (Race)
364x512 (Title)
512x512 (GT Mode)
640x512 (Loading)

NTSC
320x240 (Race)
364x496 (Title)
512x496 (GT Mode)
640x496 (Loading)

I was using Windows' Snipping Tool for those shots, due to the fact that I was using an ........ (well, you know :sly: ) And also, these are coming from my private Facebook album (don't know if that does anything :indiff: ) Alright, I'm going to post a picture of the CLK Race Car. One moment.

Is this better or worse?

Try imageflock, its what works the best for me, that and the Prnt scrn key will automatically take a snapshot of your desktop, paste it into paint and save it and you should be good to go.

I'm now using ImageShack. But, what's Prnt scrn key?

Give me a couple of minutes...

The Print Screen key, "Prnt Scr" or whatever it says on your keyboard sohuld be to the right of F12.

And ah, the CLK Race Car. I've driven that car before, it's great. Looks awesome.

Much better. :)
 
No, you don't need an account, i think you got it confused with photobucket

What restrictions do you mean? IIRC only restriction is ypu have to type in captcha everytime you upload and you probably won't have to do that if you registered anyway
 
Just wanna say.. I registered because of this thread. And then I read all 37 pages.
Just picked up with GT2 again recently, I remember buying it not long after it came out (pre-owned) for £14.99, and I was fairly young at the time, I still remember saving up for it and being SO excited to play it when I got home. My Dad used to help me with tuning cars, etc. He knew straight away to start off with a Skyline. Left to my own devices I seem to remember buying either a used Supra or Celica first.
I think perhaps I started with a Celica because I had been brought up on Sega Rally Championship.

Anyway, all these findings have been so cool!
Some intriguing stuff you've found too, Xenn. Shame we can't see most of the pictures or videos anymore! ;)

I also seem to remember I had more than one demo of GT2, I have a feeling one was from a Playstation magazine.. I still remember the multicoloured Corvette in my original GT1 demo when I first got a Playstation!
Dunno if anyone still has evidence of that.

Thanks for a highly enjoyable 37-page read! Hope to see more in the future.

I hope so to :D
 
I remember GT1 having a split screen mode in GT mode, GT2 could've had it aswell.

It partially works, but the screen is corrupted on the lower half.
 
^ The split screen mode in GT1 (in GT/Sim mode) would be the Memory Card Battle (your garage mem.card vs. friends mem.card), pretty much self explainatory. ;)

-> I will upload my pics for the screen once I get the chance. :)

I believe that car also comes out at the language select screen.
 
I totally forgot about that! I believe, on the PAL language selection screen, that alternate Evo is there.
 
Nice! I wonder why they didn't stick the alternate rally Evo in the game. Licensing seems possible, but if they have the original Evo rally car, why can't they have a slightly different recolor?

There are lots of possible reasons why cars are hidden from mortals. Perhaps because nobody wants their driver's license to be their car.:crazy: And who would dump 85K to RM a Prius? At least I know the CLK Race Car story.

And you probably know that the hidden "ghost track" can be seen at the last corner of Deep Forest as a black line/blob in the sky.

It's still great that we talk about a game from over a decade ago, and all the hidden goodies. Next thing you know, we'll find a hidden body only pink box or something.[/ObviouslyNot]
 
Well, I have found some more oddites. For example:

They could have been alternate logos for when you earned bronze, silver or gold?

Maybe not a pink box, but something like this :lol: :
