Explore common Gran Turismo 2 glitches, car performance details, and answers to frequently asked questions about car depreciation, spelling errors, and more.
This section addresses several perceived "glitches" or oddities reported by players in Gran Turismo 2, offering explanations and clarifications.
1. Disappearing Cars: Some players reported cars disappearing after certain races. The author notes this did not occur in their Japanese import version.
2. Misspelled "Normal": The word "Normal" appearing misspelled in the Event Synthesis Race is confirmed in the import version. This is attributed to the Japanese language's phonetic interpretation, similar to Chinese characters.
3. 5000 Cr Car Wash Fee: The 5000 credit car wash fee is also present in the import version. The author compares this to Gran Turismo 1, where the car wash visually represented the car's dullness, a detail GT2 apparently lacks due to disk limitations.
4. 98.2% Completion: The 98.2% completion figure is theorized to be a deliberate choice by Polyphony Digital to enhance realism, similar to how Crash Team Racing achieved over 100%. It's suggested that achieving 100% might be impossible for most players due to the difficulty in acquiring every car, such as the rare Subaru 22-GTB.
5. Car Depreciation: Regarding car depreciation when selling, the author agrees with another player that it's a realistic simulation. Just as real-life car depreciation varies based on usage, accidents, and maintenance, so too does it in Gran Turismo 2, with different players experiencing different sell-back values.
6. Incorrect Car Upgrades: The inability to re-race after a wrong car upgrade is clarified as not a glitch, but a design choice. Players are advised to use the UNLIMITED PS races for modifications, especially for cars exceeding 700ps, like the Escudo Pike Peak Ver.
7. Unsure Original PS of Used/Special Cars: The original horsepower (PS) of used and special cars can be uncertain. This section provides a list of special cars with their PS, drivetrain, and notes on their performance, along with a list of cars that can be tuned to maximum HP.
