Troubleshoot common Gran Turismo 2 issues like cars losing power after purchase (e.g., Clio 16v) and save file corruption leading to missing vehicles and incorrect stats.

This section addresses common glitches and issues encountered in Gran Turismo 2, based on player reports.

Issue 1: Cars Losing Power After Purchase

Some players have reported that cars appear to lose power after being bought. For example, the Clio 16v is stated to have around 170 bhp, but upon purchase and checking its info, it only shows around 100 hp. The cause for this discrepancy is not explained, but it's a noted oddity.

Issue 2: Save File Corruption and Missing Cars

A significant issue involves save files becoming corrupted, leading to all cars disappearing from the garage. Players report retaining their money (e.g., 570,000+ credits), but the car slot shows 'No Name' with an 'R' for racing modification. Other symptoms include:

• Cars changing color unexpectedly (e.g., a blue Viper turning red).
• Engine sounds becoming distorted or weak after certain actions.
• Top speed tests showing unusual results (e.g., 242 mph for a Viper).
• Cars reappearing in the garage, but with incorrect monetary values (e.g., a weird symbol and 8,765,000 credits) which, when sold, result in zero credits.
• Winning races that should award bonus cars no longer providing them.

This save file corruption issue can prevent players from obtaining bonus cars after winning races.
