Wait just a minute here.
So you're telling me that with the amount of Premium cars in GT at the moment, which is +-400 cars, and with maybe even 200 more in GT7 making the Premium Car count at least 600 (That will be the total if Standards are excluded with a few being premiumed), along with 40 track locations that's soon to increase with a course maker is too little???
Dude.... Seriously.... I know this is your opinion and all but come on
Then tell me what cars I can't have and we can have a nice argument about why you're right and I'm wrong.
As others have said, the Premium car list isn't as much 400-ish cars as it is 300-ish, because of a bunch of race car duplicates. It's also full of a bunch of newer cars I don't really care for, such as the late model Beemers and Benzs which don't really thrill me.
I happen to prefer cars from the 90s to the early 2000s, because I consider this to be the Golden Age of sports car development, before automakers got caught up in making everything look like a curvy bar of soap. And very similar. Lamborghini in particular has fallen into a rut. I'm not fond of the Toyota FT-1 sports car. The race car... that's better, but I wouldn't have designed the FT-1 like that.
In addition, the powerband which feeds my pleasure center the most is in the 160 to 395 range. Hey, I love me some Ferrari and Lambo as much as the next car nut, but what I covet most of all are the 240SX, 300ZX, Sileighty, Spirra, the RUFs, a bunch of Hondas, the TVRs... like SuzukaStar I could go on and on and the vast majority of those are Standards. Let me put this into perspective.
In my GT5 garage, I maxxed it out a few times at 2000 cars, the most you can have. I had about 280 Premiums, which means, before I cleared out a few duplicates, I had more than 1700 Standards. Some I had won, but the VAST majority, I took the time to purchase. When I finally got around to Photo Mode, All I snapped for months were Standard cars. It wasn't to spite people like Slip, Samus, JohnnyP and Tor. It's because I genuinely find these cars to be appealing. I like these cars!
Hopefully this makes my position clear to you guys. Maybe I'm stupid. But honestly, if you try to please everyone, you'll waste your entire life doing it. And I have better things to do than to care what people here think of me. Like race. Even Premiums sometimes.
That's
very interesting for you to say, because "Mazda6 GX tube frame RX-8" brought up
this:
And
this:
And
this:
"Doonan", for the record, is referring to to John Doonan, the leader of Mazda USA's motorsports efforts.
And what was it that I said originally?
It was never a street car, or had anything to do with it. It's a tube framed RWD racecar chassis taken almost directly out of the previous Mazda RX-8 tube framed race car, except this time with Mazda6-shaped carbon fiber body panels put on it and a vaguely Mazda6-ish engine instead of Mazda RX-8 ones and a vaguely RX-8-ish engine.
And what was it I said originally?
I miss the Mazda 6 in Forza because it's a staple of race cars.
That's very nice that you have mad Google skillz. And then of course you spent quite a lot of time focusing on this build of car and saying it wasn't a Mazda 6 anymore. Which fine, it's a gene splice with an RX-8, but the fact of the matter is, people used all manner of Mazdas to race in, like the Mazda 6. And that was
my point, that I want to have that Mazda 6 around to race in, and fortunately we have both a Standard and Premium version for just such a purpose. It's kind of hard to find a Mazda which hasn't been used as a race car. And ya know what? It's not that important to me to find out and argue about it, because my reason for joining GT Planet is to celebrate and yack about and dream about this series, and what it might be. Yours seems to be to school people on how right you are and flooding them with minutiae, because going through your posting history, it's hard to find you not arguing with people.
That's not my thing. So go argue with someone else. I have way better things to do. Like celebrating and yacking about and dreaming about this series, and what it might be in the future.
And if you want to see me furthering a discussion, look above.
It's a game! Play it or bin it!
Can I quote you on that when GT7 comes out?
