If you have a PS2 and want some Ferrari action, look to the old game "Ferrari F355 Challenge." You get the Ferrari F355 around a bunch of tracks around the world. Either that or "Need for Speed 2: Hot Pursuit."
Tenacious D, there are supercars. The Mercedes SLR McLaren is one, even though people rag on it because there's an automatic. The Jaguar XJ220 is always a British treat, even 13 years later. The Ford GT is an American supercar paying tribute to the GT40s (a.k.a. the "Ferrari slayers"). The Nissan R390 Road Car is a supercar, even if its horsepower numbers say otherwise. Speaking of supercars, the Honda NSX was more like an affordable, practical exotic. I wouldn't call it a supercar, but it was a vehicle that was pretty good while it lasted. Now Honda's best sports car is the S2000, but maybe some supercharging or something would make for a car perhaps more likable. Oh, and let's not forget that bastard of a car, the TVR Cerbera Speed 12. So there are high-powered exotics that you can win or earn, then be able to modify them any way you like within the boundaries of Gran Turismo.
Many people wished GT's car list can be like this: {

I know they are good car companies, but you can live without them in a racing game. How have Gran Turismo games been successful- by the cars, or by the action? I'm sure PD understands just how wonderful the three companies are. We would all want to see them in the game. Thing is, if you're going to feature these car companies, at least have a good game to play them with. What good is ANY car company in the game if the game itself sucks? Just dropping in Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini isn't going to cure the ills of the Gran Turismo series. It isn't like a sports team, where you can just drop in a big money athlete and have him/her a factor for the team. GT doesn't use the cars in the game as its marketing point, especially not with specific brands. So you can petition and lobby for the car companies to show up all you want. Fact of the matter is, it's not the end of the world if Ferrari and such aren't in the game. That's your problem. You let a single non-essential factor decide if the game is good or not. It's much the same way people wanted GT4. All I heard about GT4 was online play, online play, online play. PD dropped online play for GT4, and look what happened. Next thing you know it, 5.5 trillion people had to get their diapers changed, get their bottles of milk warmed, and were crying like the world was coming to an end. Then interest was lost in GT4 by the whole world because people thought PD shafted the people at the last minute. So essentially, online play would have meant a brand-new GT4 game, but instead, people thought it was just another lackluster GT. Yeah, forget good graphics, extra tuning options, a revised physics model, extra cars, extra tracks, extra races, LAN play, and all that... online play was the only thing that mattered and people thought GT4 could have been better because of a non-essential feature. Way to go. 👍
The point of the previous paragraph is that you shouldn't let just cars and car makers get you in the game, especially not stuff like Ferrari and such. Read this question carefully. Explain to me why including Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini would make GT5 a better game, and also explain why we should all care more about putting in these companies rather than making sure the game is fun and feature-packed. This better be good, since I proven my point several times.
