The 2+ minute wait for M34 in GT4 is hands down the most Kazunori Yamauchi trademark game design ever.
I fucking groaned so hard when it came up in GT7 again
@@galliman123 it’s mind boggling because it’s functionally no different than having all cars start moving at the same time but giving the lead car a huge gap to the player, which is something GT7 is already guilty of?! What the shit is wrong with the devs? No one likes having every race being chase the rabbit style, maybe a couple for variety, but to make the player sit stationary for 30-120 seconds is just so asinine.
@@galliman123 good, suffer!
@@andy56duky who hurt you
@@captainzib I liked it better when they gave you the option to do qualifying to bad they removed this option
I just realized that some cars became a meme as a coping mechanism of how hard the events were
They're memes in the same way that Mr Hands is a meme. It's shared trauma

It's kind of surreal listening to my original reaction of the Pink Vitz since now I love the thing and pink as a color in general.
I love that people were instantly making Pink Yaris/Vitz liveries for the GR Yaris in GT Sport/7, almost as soon as it was introduced!
Your pink vitz made history
Character development.
This is the first time hearing the actual reaction since when I started watching you had already replayed the game and removed the original because of a bunch of reasons one being cooyright
I love how it went from "eww, it's pink" to "ooh, it's pink too!".
> enters Group 1 race
> pulls up in a engine swapped fully tuned midget

Or what about Mazda Miata engine swapped from Ayumu Uehara's Mazda LM55 VISION GRAN TURISMO?
:O
Me but with the ZZ II
A car spinning in the dealership is really funny.
To quote a certain mushroom-themed funny man
*SPEEEEEEEEEN*
@@RadikAlice I have seen so many variations of that meme that I heard it in my head as I read it HAHAHA
@@RadikAliceWhy can you make a sound?😂
@RadikAlice imagine doing that with an internal organ
SPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
Never seen something so funny.
Every time the Nike One is brought up, I’m reminded how much of a disappointment it is that Nike didn’t even acknowledge the car when 2022 rolled around. Even just a single IRL show car would’ve been enough for me
Nike is the most snobbish brand aside from Apple. It's not surprising unfortunately.
To make matters worse for them, the technology exists nowadays to make one, even if it would be a one of concept car. It would be rather easy pr for Nike, but I guess they don't need it.
Like, grab couple of Verge TS bikes and use the drivetrains from those and fabricate a chassis. It isn't such a futuristic vision anymore like it was back then.
@@TehAlekzi it is so much worse. they spent insane money to build a pool in mid air, kind of like an aquarium, on a beach, in a desert, and then hired athletes to swim in it...for a 10 second advertisement. but letting Polyphony and GT to make an irl Nike One, with Nike's only obligations being some legal shit, is apparently too much.
I always thought it was sort of an early 2000s joke? I mean that movie with Heath Ledger has a nike armor.
“Just a single irl show car” as if show cars don’t cost millions to produce. A hot wheels model would’ve been enough.
Tank Car was the BIGGEST meme in GT5 online. In open lobbies, if anybody started to rage, they'd pull out the Tank Car (with 100 ballast added for the initiated) and drive backwards. The thing would stop nearly any car at any speed dead in it's tracks. Sometimes you would meet an unbreakable wall of 2 or 3 of them in a race.
Bro that “0-60 in… eventually” got me good
To give a bit of context on the GT40 in GT2 Historic race 2 and why it's so fast: most special cars are hard-coded so their stock tyres have the same grip levels as medium racing tyres. In that race at Rome, all of the AI cars are equipped with stock tyres, including the GT40, which is why it has so much grip. In race 3 at Grindelwald, the GT40 is given sports tyres instead, overriding its stock tyre grip and making it much slower around corners. So yeah, that slight oversight led to one of the most infamous opponents in the whole series.
The fact that the GT40 has 400hp on stock makes it worst 😅
still ez to beat B)
I’m surprised the Vector LM car never became a meme
@@veronviper06 thats becuz its not the hardest racer to deal with compare to the badass GT40
@@veronviper06yep. The Vector M12 LM from Eli Ayase. When that car driven by Eli Ayase appearing in Gran Turismo 2 Trial Mountain 30Lap Race, all i can heard is only this: HARASHO!
Adding to it's meme-ability, the driver's "seating" position in the Nike One 2022.
Man, we thought Sophy in GT7 having emotions was an interesting quirk, turns out cars having emotions was used for the Toyota Pod two decades ago all along!
Seems like AI Sophy in GT7 is basically Toyota Pod 2.5.
Kaz is the master troll. HE reuses things every game. no exceptions
And now Sophy is doing 360 entry drifts.
Ah, Pikes Peak in GT2...I'm old enough to remember when Pikes Peak was all dirt.
The original DiRT have Pikes Peak. I remember doing the hill climbs there that took an eternity to reach the top. Oh gosh, the memories...
Big power move to go from the deep breakdown over GT7's issues to talking over the meme cars
Gotta balance tragedy with levity
@@0uttaS1TEGRAN TURISMO 7 has tons of glitches.
havent played it but it looks even buggier and messy than gran turismo sport, thats a hard title to beat
GT7 doesn't exist. Cash grabby piece of shit.
The Phaeton has a special place in my heart, after the 'Garage Glitch' made all my cars disappear only the Phaeton remained...
it killed all the other cars, so that there can only be you and it, just the Phaeton, forever and ever.
The Phaeton sacrificed all your other cars lol
Probably ate them all
Tired: "Mopar or no car!"
Wired: "Mopar the only car!"
Fun fact: In GT6 there was concept art for the Nike Two and it even showed up in the VGT trailer, video, but was never made.
As an Internet Old, the Pink Vitz thing was a meme when GT3 was still the newest title in the series on the GTPlanet forums.
I remember taking a Dodge RAM 500 onto some map on GT4 where it was a small city circuit where you could only fit max 2 cars next to each other, but if you had the RAM, nobody could overtake you
Yeah its that Italian like rally track
@@gamezonevideo282Citta di Aria
@@gamezonevideo282Fun fact, it's an actual place in Italy (roads modeled exactly the same and all of that). All of the street courses are real road layouts in their cities too
Thinking about it, the Jay Leno Tank Car also had an incredible amount of meme potential. Also: I think this idea could also expand to not just cars, but memes about the games and the features of them too. Like the Oil Man in GT4 just drinking the Oil or the Countless Easter Eggs in GT5 as an example
"mm yummy motor oil" - GT4 Oil Man
I remember that Tank Car actually being the meta car in a couple of the seasonal drift trial events from GT6 as well. That was... something.
@@LordofDestruction123 that and the Dodge Ram
They sadly got rid of Oil Man and Bath Guys in GT6.
Or the GT7 engine guy casually throwing an engine block, or the four guys stretching to make a widebody.
The thing about Gran Turismo, is that it has so much style in every aspect of it, that it's very memorable.
And you can't make a meme out of something that's forgettable.
Agree. Even NIKE ONE 2022 is still as famous as ever.
That's ironic, considering the amount of utterly-forgettable memes people make
The Yellow Evo V is forgettable, just the music and the meme that aren't
The Toyota RSC Rally Raid car deserves an honorable mention for it's reselling value.
FACTS I grinded that race so much as a kid, lol
wait what
@@CharizardMaster69 In GT4 that car sells for 265k.
The two big money grinders was that first Capri Rally, which could be beaten with upgrading the license test reward car, and the DTM championship.
The Capri rally gave the Toyota RSC Rally car which sold for 265K, while the DTM let you sell a car for 750K. It takes a bit longer, but you can B spec it.
the escudo definitely has a purpose to this day as a time attack car.
really fun car to chase lap times with.
Re: Pink Vitz. The model name and how it is pronounced reminds me of the German word 'witz', which means 'joke' in English. Considering the Vitz placement in the game, it must have been a joke by PD for sure.
makes sense as the Vitz's cargo variant it's called "FunCargo"; dunno where it leaves the Platz, it's sedan counterpart
Funny thing about the Vitz is, it's actually a potent racing platform under there, it has cars running in a semi-pro championship almost 20 years later.
Also in NA, it was the "Echo" for that generation.
@@Dexter037S4 They’ve actually been racing them for more than 20 years, they started in 2000 with the original Netz Cup featuring the 1.0 SCP10 TRD-MSB Vitz, and every generation up to and including the modern Yaris has had/have their own One-make race series. The Vitz/Yaris platform has more racing pedigree than anyone would expect.
@@canonballs1845 I'm specifically talking about the first gen, which isn't widely lauded among most people as being a boring econobox.
I'm considering getting an old Echo Cup car and turning it into a real pink vitz though.
same meaning with finnish except the word is "vitsi", had it been sold here as the vitz people would've mangled its name into vitzi(pronounced exactly the same way as vitsi) to make it easier to use with finnish noun cases
Obviously the reason Pike's Peak hasn't returned is because Polyphony is busy recreating the exact real-world position of every tree along the entire course, but they keep losing track and having to start over.
Just a correction here, the Cappuccino did actually appear in a coffee break test, it was used in CB4 from GT4 Prologue
I never played GT4P and for some reason it didn't come up in my research, but that's good to know. All is now right in the world.
@@Roflwaffle16when Nico Yazawa driving the 1966 Ford GT40 appears in Gran Turismo 2, all i can heard when that car passing me on the finish line be like this: Nico Nico NII!
@@purwantiallan5089What?
@@purwantiallan5089 I rofl'd for a solid minute after reading that. Shut up and take my like!
The thing about Yaris in GT3 is crazy. I would go insane
As Dustin would find out, GT Advance 3 on the GBA _also_ has a Pink Vitz, and there's even an unlockable tuned Vitz with a body kit that can still be pink!
Also, another weird detail about the Nike ONE is that it's maximum horsepower is dependant on your _body's_ psychic energy and overall fitness level.
❤
To be fair, "they learned exactly nothing" pretty much describes most of GT's history.
oh shit
ac6 dude
It’s amazing how such a “connoisseur-esque” game like Gran Turismo can create shitpost memes out of random cars
I guarantee the people designing the pod race map were laughing their asses off at the idea of forcing players to activate the handbrake before taking the jump.
yOu fOrGoT aBoUt the Gillet Vertigo, famous for being an opponent in LMP/Group C races in GT4 and predicably finishing last each time.
Or _that_ fkn Opel Speedster.
@@takafumiarisawa70or also Lister Storm V12 Race Car driven by Asuna Yuuki in Gran Turismo 2. It also constantly finished last in GT ALLSTARS and GT WORLD LEAGUE!
Also the Vector M12 LM, which shows up in GT2's Trial Mountain Endurance thanks to a bug.
@@ArbitraryOutcome And Citroen Xantia which randomly spawn in any endurance races.
Except in the final round of the GT World Championship and is the MVP of you coming back from a losing Championship because it'll beat the A.I by never pitting
Fun Fact
3:10
I, no shit, won that race in the Midget
Fully upgraded it, extreme NOS shot at the beginning of the race to stay in the draft, and slingshot everybody in the second lap, then block everyone on the last lap to get the W.
Still have the replay of that, one of my proudest accomplishments
The one thing I find even funnier about the Escudo is that its successor, the Pikes Peak SX4, made it into a Forza Motorsport 4 DLC, in which it was a totally unviable car that was completely out of its class. I guess the franchises HAD to be different.
The black impreza one genuinely made me laugh. I've never gotten the chance to play Gran Turismo, and everyone who talks about it makes it sound like a highly technical and sim-like franchise, even going back to the very first game.
And then you have this goofy goober drunk driving and flying in the air for the trailers.
You need to play Gran Turismo particularly the earlier game's your missing out on some great gameplay any fan of cars Motorsport racing even your most casual fan, need's to experience these games!
the gt40 is actually extremely easy to deal with due to another oversight in gt2: you dont actually need to bring a car that matches the event. the only restriction on any event in the entire game is that you have to meet the horsepower limit, but there's nothing stopping you from bringing, for example, a modded rx-7 to the historic cup and wiping the floor with the gt40.
@nyaoran_ji yeah it's pretty hard if you wanna do it proper, but to me one of the big appeals of gran turismo is finding ways to break the game. it almost feels like it's designed to be broken.
On gt5 you could enter with a down tuned car then before starting the race tune it back up!
The Ai would be in slow cars
There is a lot here. If there were to be a Part 2, here's maybe a starter kit:
The Green Catfish Camaro: GT3 license at Seattle. We've all seen the Quasimo edit of Jimmy Broadbent getting that, I think
The black Group C cars in the GT4 used car dealership: 'nuff said
The Gillet Vertigo race car: easily one of the slowest and most infamous for failure in the latter parts of GT3 (and GT4, I think, but I don't remember exactly)
I don't think it ever reached memeability because it was short lived, but what about that license test in GT7 with the blue Toyota Tundra on the offroad section with comfort tires? i think it was A-8 or something. Jimmy made a video on trying to gold that while he still could. It wasn't around long enough to really stick, but I think that that's a very interesting part of GT lore that usually goes unmentioned
To a smaller extent, the NASCAR stuff in GT5: Jeff Gordon and his similar-to-Formula-1 "tEcHnOLoGy"
Not a car, but the Kart Space circuit in GT5/6. I don't remember which one of those two had this, but you could take anything you wanted onto that circuit.
Of that same ilk, literally any of the goofy stuff that people made in the GT6 track editor. Again, hasn't really seen light of day in quite a while, but some of the stuff that people have created is some of the most goofy GT tracks in history.
The Red Bull X2010/2014 cars. Memed for being like, THE fastest thing to ever appear in GT, so much to the point that it lives on even now in Assetto Corsa as a mod. Well, at least just the 2010 car.
Jay Leno Tank Car: goofy ahh open wheel thing with massive engine and no grip
SRT Tomahawk X: nerfed in GT Sport, but close, if not faster than the Red Bull X2010 around the Nordschleife.
That's all I can think of right now, if I have more idea I'll edit the comment lol.
I’d also include the Vector M12 LM Edition from the glitch in GT2 the Deep Forest 300km race, the WW2 Volkswagen cars in GT5, and the Renault Espace F1.
@@Zerobeat-dc1tpoh wait you know what else? What about the 1886 Daimler cars, or the Ford Model T from GT4? Slow, old, funny looking. Memes in and of itself.
@@barisaxmax Yeah, those too, alongside the Formula GT since GT5 has a race for them without giving an easy way to get one.
@@Zerobeat-dc1tp The best way to get a FGT was that online used car dealership. Now after the server shutdown, players need to get lucky with the normal used car dealership.
2004: we will have shoe-shaped cars until 2022
2022: crown virus
@26:33 ALSO to add to this, Hot wheels put this car out in one of their Gran Turismo sets in 2018 . There also was a 2008 Yellow Evo in that set.
Ah yes the Suzuki "Fuck it I wanna win" Escudo.
Ah yes, the Garage Glitch go-to car.
That was great and probably the most necessary video in this channel. Also would be cool to see one about the most iconic cars in the series and their story within (and outside of) the games. The Castrol Supra, the Mazda 787 etc. Great work!
I wonder if the footage of the Black Impreza flying through the air at Trial Mountain was caused by a glitch in the original JP version of GT1, whereby accelerating against a wall while turning with a 4WD car caused the car to start sliding sideways at ridiculous speed...
No the thing that is kinda lost here is that most people are not familiar how other racing games of that time have been, like the suspension system that GT had in place was very impressive, this trailer pretty much made us buy the game because of this drifting and jumping that looked "very realistic" to us. Same goes for the incredible detail, i remember drooling in front of my CRT when i saw this game, and i was shocked when GT2 came around.
@@Hammster1911 GT1 was the first racing game where I could actually see a functioning suspension system. Driver technically counted, and was from a similar time frame, but it wasn't a 'racing' game per se.
@@Housesiderhaha I remember being obsessed with the suspension in Driver 2 as a kid. Also Re-Volt series has working suspension.
@@HousesiderGran Turismo 1 realistically is the only ever game to have Black colour in Impreza Rally Car 1996.
ok but they need to bring pod racing back to gt7 that'd be hilarious
Wait a minute, is the font they used for the 6 in GT6's logo the same one as on Escudo's rear wing? Pretty cool
Fantastic video, but I think some were left out:
-Like the floating glitch license cars from GT2
-The Suzuki Cappuccino (or BRAPPUCCINO) for being an absolute favorite in K-Car events, then it became a monster thanks to the 1.34 engine swap update in GT7
-The Gillet Vertigo and the Lister Storm V12 Race cars for being usually last place in their super car events
- and probably, the Dodge Viper GTS for the license test, which takes place in Laguna Seca's infamous corkscrew
As a kid my fave track was laguna seca and my fave car was the viper. I didn't spend much time on track.
One of the best parts about browsing old GT dealers is seeing stuff like the Nissan Z "concept" or Mazda RX-8 "concept" in GT3. They were all shiny new and hyped up in 2001, now I see beat up or rusted out RX-8s on craigslist for 3 grand all the time. How quickly time flies.
A very informative video, for meme cars, I guess. The long wait was honestly quite funny, I've never played through GT4 fully so I now understand the pain, but can't entirely relate. GT is such a unique series that it has its own set of memes that literally make no sense. Great work, as usual. Keep it up, I always look forward to your uploads. Oh, and the GT meme you made was absolutely amazing, always loved that meme and it applies to GT so well.
Fun fact: Skyline Pace Car is featured in Gran Turismo for PSP and it's a beast.
I enjoy the swapped Abarth a lot, make sure to put maximum ballast at the front though if you want to at least sort of keep it stable around the corners
As much as the GT series strives for ultimate realism, I'm glad it indulges in moments where it doesn't take itself too seriously.
Not sure how many people notice this, but i love your inclusion of music from the Ratchet and Clank soundtracks! David Bergeaud is my favorite composer
I know this is meant to be meme cars but c'mon...
*GT AUTO GLUG GLUG GLUG*
what makes the vitz meme even more funny in german is the fact that vitz sounds like "witz" which is the german word for joke. So you win the pink joke.
And the subaru had a red version as well
The yellow evo is available in GT4 as a used car that you can get very early and its a bit OP to start with.
Maybe that explains it.
I think you're confusing it with the silver evo, that's the one that appears in the first lineup of used cars in GT4
@@realFlamefammyou can paint it yellow tho
@@Quixium you can't repaint cars in GT4

I can't believe HOW MUCH you fit that specific criteria I've been looking for in a RUclipsr. So many of your statements could have been mine. Even name dropping ColourShed lol.
Keep on keeping on Waffle!
0:58 my grandmother was taking a nap and she woke he up cos i died laughing at this
For me, the biggest meme is a 600+ BHP car in a 295 endurance race...
I love the gt2 bleep that somehow is funny.
Great video! Really well presented.
Thanks man! Your videos have always been a great inspiration for me. I started watching them waaaay back in the day when you did those secret cars and tracks videos :)
@@Roflwaffle16 Wow, they're super old now! Thanks for watching for all that time. Just subbed to you. :)
"What I wonder now is where do we go from here. 2022 has come and gone, and obviously the Nike One isn't in production..."
Hear me out: Nike Two 2040
I really appreciate how laid back and well produced this video is. I was expecting talking about meme stuff, would make a painfully unfunny meme sound effect filled video. Very pleasantly surprised :) (the mercedes SLR bit was maybe too much though lol)
Thank you! That's kind of what I aim for with my videos, but the part with the SLR was supposed to be painful for everyone involved (if you watch it in full), so mission (heh) accomplished, I guess...
@@Roflwaffle16 I did watch it in full and the pain was real lol. I actually played through gt4 only a week ago and gosh those 1 lap magic missions were painful. Again great video and will check out more 🙂
thats my bloody wife x
I'd argue the Nike became a meme in the same way the Mercedes Patent Wagen did, with gameplay modded in such a way that they become insanely fast
You talking about the GT40 reminded me of a racing event in GT5. I don't remember the name of the cup but it requires you to use cars from the 1970s or earlier and one of the cars that can show up is the chaparral 2J race car.. Not only that I'm pretty sure it was slightly upgraded. you also have to get extremely lucky that the chaparral 2d to show up either. I only beat that race because I believe one event in that game gives you a toyota 7 race car.
Historic Racing Car Cup
So glad you’re not losing steam after the GT Critique series. Keep it up.
Still gutted you didn’t mention the Ferrari 420 ‘69. Striking looks, mental performance, superb handling… love that car. Praying for a part 2, all jokes aside.😊
I feel like the Vector M12 LM Edition deserved a shout, even if it is a bit more underground than most of the other choices.
What about that minivan that has an F1 engine in it in GT2? Didn't know that car existed until I saw somebody's walkthrough on the game. I'm surprised that car hasn't been talked about or made a meme out of cuz it certainly looks weird.
How about its victim, the Citroen Xantia?
23:20
HOLY SHIT
THE NUMBER RETURNS
FIRST THE MIG-31 AND NOW THE CAR
MY GUY THAT'S AN OVERFLOW ERROR LMFAO
YES, the strawberry wheels complete the look of The Pink Vitz indeed.
My god I just lost it with the now this is pod racing bit. I shouldve seen it coming but I didnt and it caught me so off guard. 🤣🤣🤣
The Chrysler Phaeton was a concept car that was meant to slot above the PT Cruiser. It obviously never saw the light of day, but that explains its old timey styling, but good performance. American car manufacturers were really going on a big nostalgia trip in the late '90s.
This was a great video! If anything I'd add the red Mini Cooper S '65 from the clubman cup plus race at Goodwood in GT7. Seems like a bit of a GT40 situation to me cause there's no way that thing is below the 350 pp limit haha.
What tops off Ryno’s reaction to the pink Vitz is the fact that he’s normally not one to complain about what he receives as a reward or to have to drive but this was so bad he could not help but verbally wretch
where tf is the ferrari 420 '69?
thinking about the Escudo, the Renault Espace F1 was a crazy thing too.
I've played alot of GT. Ever since I was a kid. The first time I played GT5 when it came out, the first car I bought was the Daihatsu Midget and it's burned in my brain as the best car in the series.
20:20 I always loved the Blackwater city theme in R&C 1
Polyphony is so good at making everything realistic, to the point that they recreate the experience of waiting a red light for 2 minutes in that SLR McLaren race
I found that pacecar challenge to be way easier than most of the others. You just have to follow the train, CJ.
They must've hired a young Nikita Mazepin to drive the black Impreza.
Ah the pink Vitz/Yaris... With friends during the 24h of Le Mans, we began a playthrough of GT3 and managed to win 2 of them already, and we just started the Amateur League 😂
The Escudo did win the Silverstone race to the sky in NZ, and the GT2 version does have the Silverstone race to the sky logo
Imagine winning a Vitz after playing a 5h vitz championship lmao
I think the Black imprezza showed the physics engine , turning in two wheels , crashing and etc was nice to see how the game handled the physichs , perception about realism has change since then , they tried to show great action moments and not boring ones i think
not having THE coffee break car be the cappuconi is sacriledge
A fun fact about the NIKE ONE 2022 is that in GT4, you win it TWICE.
It's the license IB Bronze prize car however its also the prize car for the Saleen S7 one make event (which requires an IB Licence to enter as well)
One for the left foot, one for the right
The 123 second wait in Mission 34 GRAN TURISMO 4 and Nico Yazawa's Ford GT40 in Historic Car Cup on GT2 are still the most famous memes ever.
My first experience of the Pink Vitz was winning an endurance race, then the roulette spin of four silhouettes; one quite clearly being a Formula 1 car, another being something like a Gillet Vertigo or Panoz GTR-1, one more looking like a Skyline and then the one I ended up winning; the Pink Yaris.
I'm in this video
Hearing RC1 Blackwater City OST start playing 20 mins in made me immensely happy.
Edit: Hearing even more RC1 OST furthered my happiness.
Well now we need the Nike Two 2044
One of my memes is the Buick SPECIAL from GT4. It was another case of "HE'S THERE".
I have the Special in GTPSP and it kinda sucks. The car handles in a very weird way and it doesn't really take off very fast but what do you expect from a special (see what I did there😁) muscle car from the '60s. The price for the Special in GTPSP is even less than what it is going for in GT5 and GT6.
@Cole Murray The reason for me calling it a meme is because it has an enormous amount of power compared to the rest of the possible opponents in GT4. Nearly 600 horsepower. It's kinda difficult to find anything that can beat it that's a pre-1970s car, other than maybe the A/C Cobra, but that's a chunk of change.
@@boolin8286 Oh okay. Didn't realize that the Special is a problem in GT4. I do remember that the car shows up in that classic American muscle car event in GT5.
The Escudo Pikes Peak was a world beater in GT3. It could beat any race that it was eligible for. Almost earned it with nothing but the 92 Integrale but there was one race I couldn't win because it was outclassed. Can't remember more details than that.
As far as one-make series go, seeing that TVR logo still triggers my PTSD.
3:35 finally a race that i can enter in 😃
1:14 cant believe my mod was included in this video, thanks
Some things to note about Lan Evo V's inclusion in GT2000: The car was previously featured in GT2 Demo which I played two decades ago. Based on that, plus the fact that the handling model is almost the same as GT2, it makes sense that Polyphony included Lan Evo V again for GT2000.
Now, as for why the car itself is also popular, in addition to Lan Evo V being the only playable car there, I think it has more to do with the face. Look at Lan Evo V's overall front face, it's simultaneously angry and so done with life. Pair that up with the hype/rage-inducing M I R A G E, and we get a perfect mix of absurd E A R R A P E and ANGRY car. I think it wouldn't work with any other car, let alone Skyline GT-R R34, unless someone at Polyphony were able to find an even angrier car than Lan Evo V
I immediately awe'd when I heard Blackwater City (GT40) and Gemlik Moonbase (Escudo).
I just plat'd the trilogy, too.
I'm probably one of the few people who vividly remembered the Toyota Triathlon. One of my favourite cars to just blast around tracks in despite it being average at best.
I don't know why but for some reason I loved racing the Toyota Triathlon car on the large loop track, even changing colors. Maybe I just enjoyed getting a good time on it haha
heey thanks for all the extra info about the cars and events. really in depth. I love it!
The Spongebob YTP reaction bit with the Pod was hilarious lol, great video
That awkward one sided conversation during the 2 minute countdown was gold 😂 liked and subscribed
Honestly this very helpful and informational. I always enjoyed GT games but haven't ever engaged with the online community, and now I am much more equipped to dive into it.
what i can remember from back in the days, i dont remember the exact game because its ages ago, but most likely GT4 or GT5 were these Mazda MX5 Miatas. In one of these games 31 of them were featured
