Used Subaru lot. Also known as SVX, you might not be able to get it from the used car lot for a few periods of 10 days (depends if its there when you look).
 
Yep, all that's correct. I don't think there's a need to wait 10 days, though, as it seems to be always available. This race is tricky because the car is called the SVX. By the way, pretty interesting car. I love the canopy roof. 👍

They're cool...a bit on the heavy side, especially in GT2. But they got great traction.
 
Hey guys, thanks for that info, the lil sucker is pretty decent, but on to the next question, hopefully it will be ok to ask here rather than start another thread. the tuscan speed 6 and speed 12, i had previously won both of them, and sold them, not knowing i would need them for the TVR event, where can i go back to to win these again?
i appreciate all the help you have offered here.
thanks, Mattie
 
The SVX is a good meduim 4WD car, predessor to the Imp I would guess. I first came accorss it in GT and found that it stood well to the challenge of GVS 500.

As to the Speed 6 & 12, try searching the boards and there should be a thread that tells you which races to win to get both.

The ~591hp Convertible Cup race at Trial Mountain awards you a TVR Tuscan Speed 6 when if you win it. You only get one color (purple) if you win it. It's actually a great car, as the exhaust sound is wonderful when it's fully modified. Not a bad race car, if you can handle it. By the way, it's also the only Manufacturer's Event that requires a prize car.

As for the TVR Speed 12, you win it in the GT All-Stars event at Red Rock Valley (also purple only)...Ah, the days when you could win 550,000 credits in under 7 minutes.
 
ok quick question......i ran the 591 hp covertible cup at trial mountain and each of the 6 times i won it, i recieved the concept LM car ....thats far from the tuscan6, any ideas?
 
I guess pupik didn't remember the right race then. Races like that there's only one possible prize car to win.

I looked it up for you:
Pure Sports Car Cup
A - Laguna Seca - 394hp - 3 laps - 7,000 - Angel T01 (J)
IC - Deep Forest - 443hp - 3 laps - 8,000 - ZZ III (J)
IB - Trial Mountain - 591hp - 3 laps - 10,000 - Tuscan Speed 6

You can win the Speed 12 in under 5 minutes if you're really good and use the Escudo. (the best I ever did was a 59.8something lap, but I couldn't do it again)

My times range around 1:06-:09 for GT500 Spec cars. ;). That's still 1636 Crominum a second, which is pretty neat. Easy race unless you can't handle the car you're racing with or suck at the track. For a great resource, bookmark or print out Dave Connoy's Car List FAQ at http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/gran_turismo_2_cars_na.txt
Also, consider one of the prize listings. Both FAQ's are essential for me to check databases for basic auto statisticas without buying and turning them. They're a bit of a spoiler, however, so keep this in mind. 👍

Oops, my bad. Well, the Concept Car LM ain't too shabby!
 
Did you know...

That Subaru is the Japanese name for the star cluster in the constellation Taurus known in Greek-based astronomology as Pleiades?

And, did you know...

That Alcyone is the brightest star of the 7 generally recognized in that cluster?

The Pleiades are also called the M45, which is an Infiniti in the North American market.

In any case, this was the second-to-last race for me, other than the Suzuki Capucino [sic] Event which took about 20-30 more days to show up in the used lot.
