The 5 different levels of tuning available are very interesting

Those are also car combat games not racing games. Racing is driving faster than your opponents not shooting or destroying their vehicles.

Just taking a wild guess here, but maybe the Extreme tab of the tuning shop is only for a select few cars that can accept extreme mods, like turning a 919 into a 919 Evo for example, or restoring the AWD of a GT-R LM Nismo (it's listed as an FF in the game, but according to the head engineer, the "Longboi" could have had its hybrid power deployed to the rear wheels). Or, I'm thinking perhaps moving aero parts with manual DRS like the one on the IoM WRX?

Hopefully not. Reminds me of the Playstation One days and only being able to increase the displacement on Skylines. Was there a logical reason for that besides Skylines being the king of GT2?

I'd imagine the reasoning is that it's something that you can do in real life. Why, what's your problem with it?

 

[Aldo Raine]

I predict that the "Extreme" version of the tuning is for drag racing... 🧐

Surely at least one other car in the game can be modified in that way IRL as well.

A lot of engines can. That's called boring the cylinders.

Indeed. Which was why it was so weird you could only do it with Skylines in the game.

I believe the displacement increase in the earlier games for the Skyline GT-Rs was offered to mimic the modifications done to the Nismo 400R, which had its displacement increased from the 2,568cc of the stock RB26 to 2,771cc. If anyone can help support this theory by booting up an older GT title and checking the displacement increase of the GT-R, it'd be much appreciated.

But yeah, I'm guessing PD wanted to have some basis in reality when offering the option of increasing displacement.

Two most likely reasons:

A. Nissan was the only OEM that allowed them to do it as part of the license agreement
B. PD wanted to favour the 'meta' car for the title

Neither is that weird, but we will never know for sure

 

[05XR8]

Trying to remember if any of the Honda Type-R engines had that option.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

It's not just Skylines, some Civics and Minis can also get the displacement upgrade in GT2. But yeah, more cars in general should have it.

Displacement Increase & Yaw Control

Well, I just want to know which cars can get these 2 upgrades because so far I can only remember 3: 1. Lancer Evo VI GSR (Yaw) 2. Mini Cooper (Displacement) 3. Some of the used Skylines (Displacement) It seems strange that PD put these 2 upgrades when very few cars can get them. Cheers.

Also, the Skyline isn't meta in GT2. Not by a long way. You'd want a certain Suzuki for that There is a HKS Drag R33 with more power, but it can't turn to save its life

Actually you could do it with the Mini Cooper 1.3i too.
