Ok. For the moderators, I don't mean to make your jobs harder, but I did do what I felt was a (hopefully) thorough enough search so, if ya feel the need to shut this thread down, can you link me to whatever thread that popped up or that I missed please?
Ok, so my point. Everyone is talking about modding cars and custom tracks and the like. The biggest thing being what if scenarios, and after seeing that read in Top Gear Mag that was posted, about different car companies wanting to use the physics engine to test their cars, and how their calculations engine works to get cars to behave appropriately, why don't they release a Computer base program for GT that could be easily imported to the PS3 and Gran Turismo.
I mean yea, ok. There's the benefits of track making, being able to create nearly any imaginable (though some might create some unimaginable places) track configuration in any area you can think of. Be it known tracks, or truly one of a kind tracks that people have spent time on making purely from their own ideas. i can easily see it being used there.
Now what about the cars. Someone once said have a "create-a-car" type feature in Gran Turismo. And that's cool. But what I'm talking about is basically allow anyone who has or owns the pack to design or redisign from scratch just about a machine. Using current parts registered ingame that can be Heavily and I stress "Heavily" tweaked, or parts that are completely original. I mean, like a Ford Focus taken from in game, run through this hypothetical program, that could be modified from a simple Focus with only the ingame mods, to a beastly twin turbo rear wheel drive V6 Monster with completely original design body somewhat based on a TVR Speed 12. Thats just an example but why not?
Now I know some of you would say whats the point, most people wouldn't want to spend that much time designing or redesigning parts, but the reality is many people would. Not everyone obviously, but I think enough that it would be worthwhile to go after. Now, I'm a bit biased to selling them separately, cuz why increase the price for people who won't use it, with it packaged together in a bundle.
But I believe it would truly redefine the world of Gran Turismo. I mean, why should PD and Red Bull be the only one's actually being able to design stuff. And don't tell me it'd be like MNR because what I'm think goes a good ways beyond the realm of that.
Everyone keeps saying KY, PD and Sony need to think and respect their fanbase more.
Wouldn't this be the ultimate way to expand freedom?

But yes, because I don't want the frames of the bodies and parts to be corrupted. But the ability to custom create modifications, Eg, Flaring out fenders, installing vents and intakes to your own specifications, redesigning headlight and brakelights, Original Bumper Modifications. . . I suppose ok. Maybe I was initially wrong. Not an SDk and creation similar to MNR but with a far superior grade of depth and precision. Where you could custom create the body basically of a given car, but maybe modify the principles of internal components, within a ranged specification. Eg, you can put any kind of engine into the machine, just to see if it works, as long as the engine's specifications allow it to fit in the engine bay. I suppose thats more of what I'm getting at.
