Can You Beat Gran Turismo 2 With Only Cheap Japanese Turboboxes (like the Cappuccino)?

↓ MORE INFO BELOW! ↓
According to all known laws of motorsport, there is no way that a Cappuccino should be able to beat race cars. The Cappuccino, of course, does it anyway, because Cappuccinos don't care what humans think is impossible.

This is a Certified Gigachino moment

[@Julian_Pepper]

Yeah, the BHP specs in the shop aren't super accurate in Gran Turismo 2. I thought 404 was too low for the Cusco Impreza GT300, so I went and looked. For the cars you used in the comparison, the actual values they have if you buy them (or win them in some cases) are as follows: the Silvia has 413, the RX-7 has 446, and the Impreza has 453. So yeah, that is the explanation for the pace of the GT300 Impreza: It seems like it has the most power of because it actually does, the store page just doesn't indicate that for some reason.

[@ShadowOfCicero]

Yeah, as I recall both the Impreza V and the R32 are billed as 276 in the shop, but in the garage they were more like 285 and 293, respectively.

[@mrxbas]

This actually makes it even more strange, considering how the RX-7 was so much easier to beat…

[@Julian_Pepper]

@@mrxbas That is strange, I've always experienced the RX-7 being second only to the Impreza whenever I do this event. It could be FPS, since physics are FPS dependent, and you're playing with 60 FPS, while I always play at 30 FPS. I can only guess that the 60 FPS patch is affecting the physics in a way that's messing with the RX-7's success somehow?

[@mrxbas]

@@Julian_Pepper That actually wouldn't surprise me at all; perhaps the 4WD of the Subaru makes the AI more confident in the corners too?

[@Rafaxel_27]

​@@mrxbas at one hand, AWD would be the answer but then there would be a problem. The Subaru at least IIRC about the GT300 rules about drivetrain reinforced by the stats at 24:41 would be a FR.

The lack of event restrictions is what made GT2 great compared to later games. It often spawned hilarious races and fun events such as racing AE86's in the Muscle car race on Seattle (Most entertaining money grind race of them all due to hilarious opponents and their driving.)

[@ShadowOfCicero]

37:00 I can think of two reasons you beat them at Super Speedway. From experience, I suspect they take Turn 1 too cautiously. The other thing I know for sure is that their transmissions are too wide for that course. My lap times with the R30 Silhouette are better than those for the Unisia Jecs or even the HKS Drag for that very reason.

[@mrxbas]

It seems like it, because their downforce levels should be way higher than mine…

32:40 A long time ago, a Pulsar admired the Cappuccino when it became a legend that is now known as the Gigachino. The Pulsar witnessed the Gigachino's ascension to the Ultrachino. The Ultrachino chose the Hachiroku as its successor to continue the Gran Turismo World League but it was defeated by the dreaded Impreza. The Impreza saw its comrades got defeated by the Ultrachino so it took matters on its own wheels. Unfortunately, the Ultrachino did not race so the Impreza took the next best car, the Hachiroku which the Ultrachino chose to be its successor. The Pulsar felt a great despair saw its idol's successor got defeated. The Ultrachino began its seach for its worthy successor and took revenge from the dreaded Impreza. The Pulsar, being there at the beginning and admired the Gigachino which is now the Ultrachino, volunteered to be its successor and win the Gran Turismo World League. The Pulsar trained hard for the World League not only to win, but to beat the GT-One and the R390. Having proven that it can beat both of them, with all of the racing data it gathered, the upgrades it received and the racing modifications, the Pulsar made its decision to become the Gran Turismo World Champion. This is the story of the legend that is the *GIGAPULSAR.*
