im going along with a lot of the other posters. LESS skylines. how many did they have in GT4?? 50 or 70?? it was insane, there is a skyline in the game that was in for no other reason than it was a special color, the purple one. give me a break. I know its a japanese game and the skyline is their baby, but its gotta be within some reason. we have a lot of great cars that are not being represented because there has to be 50 skylines in the game. what do they need more?? vettes, the american equivalent of the skyline, fox mustangs, 3rd gen camaros. aussie cars, a lot more than they had in GT4. falcons, commodores and they like. theyve had the great v8 powered rear drive cars in OZ since the 70s, ever see mad max?? the black interceptor and the red blue and yellow police cars are all 70s XB falcons. britain, not sure what could be equated to the skyline there, maybe some aston martins?? definitely not enough of those in the previous titles. thats what im looking for car wise. there also needs to be more classic race cars in the game, 60s grand prix cars, 70 TA cars old lemans cars, they already have a few, and the like. this is another area where the game is lacking.
sound is another issue. I got GT3, my first car was a black camaro SS, it was a great car, it eventually turned into an 800 hp monster. I get GT4, pick up the same black camaro SS and couldnt stand it, I drove it maybe twice and could not anymore, it sounded terrible, I cant even explain what it soulds like, but definitely not a v8 powered camaro. these cars are everywhere here, how could they get the sound wrong with this car. this is not about the camaro specifically, but the sound for all car i the game, especially the american cars, since they seem to suffer from this bad sound the most. FIX THE SOUND. its like another poster said, the Japanese cars sound great, all the others sound terrible, with a few exceptions.
bring back racing mods.
GET RID OF THE "SPECIAL" CARS. that was probably the most frustrating thing in GT4, aside from the horrible sound, getting a car and not being able to race it. I have not problem with a motor carriage being in the game, but you darn well better let me race it in a race and not just drive it around the test track. If I can race a car its a waste of space. who knows, maybe a 5 mph race between a bunch of motor carriages would have been fun. basically if I cant race it, figure out a way that I can or take it out. we dont need cars taking up space that cant be used.
better mod system. give me choices of parts to put on cars, not just stage 1, 2, 3 or 4. let me choose what heads I want and what pistons, what compression. there needs to be more different ways to make power. IRL I could probally make 800hp in a camaro 3 or 4 different ways. I can only do it 1 way in the GT world. the modding system needs improvement, its been the same since the first game and is tired. check my post here:

I go into a little more detail on how they should change the mod system there.
allow cars to reach their true potential, ie dont hamstring the v8s. I can get a skyline in GT4 and make 1000hp with it. yet a chevelle SS, 440 charger and a HEMI superbee make 760s. all of those cars are fully capable of 1000+ hp numbers, especially with the amount of game money is spent upgrading them. the most disappointing of all were probably the GNX at 615 and the gt40. I personally know that the GNX is capable of A LOT MORE hp and the gt40 needs more because its a great car, one of my favs and it just isnt very competitive with cars later in the game, that last one is totally selfish, but im sure there are cars all of you love too that you wist you could race in longer.
ill probally get slapped for this, maybe a few nascar cars and an oval track??
lastly, engine swaps would be great. again I hit on this in the other thread.
with the inclusion of engine swaps and a vastly improved modding system I could probally spend more time making various Frankenstein creations that I could racing. It would add a new level of depth to the game. heck, maybe let people sell their creations on the ps network.
