This is a prize car for completing the Historic Car Cup in B Spec.

It's a fun car to drive but is a little expensive if you plan to buy it.

Gold Chrome baby!!

Does it keep all the vinyls and whatnot or does it become a solid color?

 

[Ken]

It's really a great car. Beautiful balance, excellent turn-in, just a joy to drive. None of that tire-burning understeer you see in a lot of car on GT5. Just about made that Historic Race Car Cup worth the aggravation.

If you add me, I will set it to online.

Is it just mine or do other peoples TZ2 sound like they’ve got a flat tyre, kind of a regular thumping noise when under power?.

 

[mekonrider]

Mine is the lotus orange chrome with light metallic blue rims. Not as vulgar looking as you may think.

I've only used it once (around the ring) but I found it to be too easy to drive. Maybe sports hards or comfort softs would be better as don't want to tune the engine.

I've got 2, one in the original colour scheme (and keeping it that way) and one I painted "Bianco Gardenia", a slight off-white colour coming appropriately from the Giulia Sprint Speciale (as I saw a few off-white-coloured real life TZ2's, as well as a few yellow ones, in pictures) which makes the yellow coloured part on the front wings disappear (which every other colour would do too) and makes the number on the bonnet almost invisible apart from some angles (like when doing an oilchange or photo-mode).

I've read an article in a classic car magazine recently where they drove a TZ2 and they mentioned it sounded like bees in a tincan, so PD may have tried to accurately replicate this (don't know what causes it though, maybe the fuelpump?) although the rythm get's really drony and tiresome after a while, the only downside to this car though.

Terribly annoying. I didn't want to start a whole thread on it, but since you brought it up, I'd love if someone could chime in with an explanation.
It's a rhythmic thump that doesn't change frequency with speed or RPM. It's quite annoying.

It also seems to be one of the cars where the driver shifts with an invisible gear shift. Great fun to drive though.

I also noticed this.

Me too, and i also hear that sound when im driving the Mazda 787B Stealth...

So whats the deal with it?

Thats not right. If you look closely (tip: drive in the sun to see more interior and thus the gear-shifter), you can see him changing gear.

Gold Chrome baby!!

Matt(e) black, and white custom rims. Looks great i think!

 

[bimmerpod]

Has anyone taken a corner too aggressively in the TZ2 and rolled it? Sadly, this has happened to me a couple of times. Regardless, the car is a joy to drive, you just gotta be extra careful of its limits

The TZ2 has a very tall gearlever sticking out unusually high in the low-seated interior and thus having a long travel movement when changing gears, that's why you see the gearknob in-game when in certain gears and not whilst in others.

See?

 

[Astropin]

I actually rolled it with racing softs on going into a turn with too much speed

Interesting, I'll have to take a look. Maybe the animation just doesn't always line up with the gear shift or something. Or perhaps I'm just crazy. Very possible.

+1, it is just a great car, and as long as you win it, you can't beat the price. I am going to try and win another one and paint it .

Not sure right now whether the TZ2 has a regular H-pattern or a "dogleg" first gear lay-out but assuming, for convenience sake, it has a regular H-pattern (although it being an Italian sixties racecar a "dogleg" lay-out can't be ruled out) it basically comes down to this;

1st gear you see the gearknob, 2nd gear it's visibly gone, 3rd gear you see the gearknob again, etc., etc.

(if it's a "dogleg" lay-out, which most will know from for example Ferrari and Lamborghini models, it's the complete opposite, 1st gear you can't see the gearknob, etc.)

Yep, just looked and sure enough the shift knob is just really small and the same color as the dash so I missed it.
For the record, I believe it's dogleg style.

Gold Chrome baby!!

I'm vomiting blood at the thought of how bad that's going to look.

 

[zorrofox]

This is my favourite car in the game but I ruined it with the chassis rigidity mod. You have been warned.

 

[JEMcG]

I've probably tuned it too. Why do I do this.

I have two myself. I won my first on Bspec and was given my second one via trade for 5 chrome paint chips from a friend. Cool little cars.
