Super Fully Tuned Car List (Japanese version)
Your comprehensive guide to every car in Gran Turismo 2, including special tunings and where to find them. Dominate the track with the best machines!
Hey there! So, you're diving into Gran Turismo 2 and want to know about all the awesome cars, especially the super-tuned ones? You've come to the right place. This isn't just a list; it's your roadmap to building the ultimate garage. Think of me as your pit crew chief, guiding you through the options.
Gran Turismo 2 has a massive roster of cars, and some of them can be tuned to an incredible degree. We're talking about cars that go from great to absolutely phenomenal. This guide is here to break down what's available, what makes certain cars special, and maybe even hint at some hidden gems you might overlook.
We'll go through them manufacturer by manufacturer. It's a long list, so grab a drink and let's get started. Remember, the goal isn't just to collect cars, but to find the ones that suit your driving style and can be pushed to their limits. Some cars might seem like a bargain initially, but with the right tuning, they can surprise you. Others are expensive from the get-go but offer performance that's hard to match.
Keep an eye out for cars from tuners like Spoon, Mugen, Nismo, and Tom's. These guys know their stuff, and their tuned versions often offer significant performance boosts right out of the box, or at least have a higher potential ceiling when you start modifying them.
Don't be afraid to experiment! The beauty of Gran Turismo 2 is the depth of its tuning. What might seem like a mediocre car could become a track monster with the right suspension, tires, and engine upgrades. We'll cover the key aspects to look for as we go through each section.
