The aerodynamics of the No Stripe are wildly different from the other ones, which was carried over from GT4.
Why is the aerodynamics different?
I see no optical differences (no, I'm not talking about the paint...), you know. Your anwer doesn't really explain anything, because the answer itself is already unexplainable.
It has less wind resistance and better grip.... interesting. Of course has it something to do with aerodynamics, but the reason/origin for this is unexplainable like I said.
WHY? It's the same car, one has stripes on and one doesn't. They don't need to be listed as two different cars, they need to be one car that you can paint either solid or stripes. Other games managed to give you both options when choosing a manufacturer paint, it's not hard.
Go to dealer>
Choose Ford GT 05>
Choose paint from (example) Red | Red w/ stripe | Blue | Blue w/ stripe | Yellow | Yellow w/ stripe and so on.
It really couldn't be simpler.
Two ways are possible.
If it's done this way, then please with including striped paint tickets. They could also do it with the car dealers like you said, possible....
As SimonK said, it's quite simple really. If the Ford GT No Stripe is how the Ford GTs should handle, then all Ford GTs should adopt to the way it drives; no need for the No Stripe. If the striped Ford GT is how the Ford GTs should drive, then all Ford GTs should adopt to the way it drives; no need for the No Stripe.
This is one possible way, yes.
Add the "people might not like stripes" thing, and perhaps your argument makes a bit of sense. But then fix the paint system (to fix all striped cars) and keeping the No Stripe would be completely pointless.
What else would be the point of having a Nostripe version? It couldn't be clearer.
And yes, they either fix the paint system or make the cars equal.
Sorry, what? Where did you explain the whole "it should be in the next GT because some people don't like stripes" thing?
Because it's the only logical reason for including it, it didn't seem necessary to explain. The guys from PD who decided to include it wanted a no stripe option, and so do I and probably others too.
So yeah, fix paint system or the specs. Whatever you like more.
Or do it like Simon said with the car dealers like it's nearly already possible in the ncd.
Next thing you know putting a spoiler on a stock cavalier will make it go faster.
Stock probably not, but who knows what happens if you tune it, raise the front and slamm the rear..... might be faster then with wing.
