GTXLR, I'll have to stop you there.
Can you recall in GT3 that some cars available for sale had the convertible top down? I'm going to give out the little Mercedes-Benz convertible. When you buy one, you have the top closed, but when in the shop or maybe the garage, it's open-top. Certainly this GT will have top-down action. So the "Spider and Roadster" races will feature top-down action. Now I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but if you're in a lightly-tuned convertible, if you would have your hair out. Now, the majority of people on GTP are probably (and I'm just guessing) male. So if you were to race around a track, it would be no problem. Maybe you can set up a profile to show off exactly how you look rather than a generic model. But what if the women play (and yes, there are GT girls), and the hair of the computer player is out, they race with a male driver model? I mean, would you want to have a mode whereas you have a male or female model where you can leave your head... wait. I have another idea. If you lighten your car and add the rollcage and stuff, maybe you can decide whether or not to have a top, or make your cars like H Production or whatever in the Valvoline Runoffs. So maybe your convertible can be a convertible for good.
As far as the RX-8 LM goes in your avatar and in your pictures, I haven't seen a good color combination. Being an art editor and a private computer artist, I know about the colors. Orange is a negative color of green, and yellow is a negative color of blue. I think if they wanted to make the RX-8 look nice, first of all, I would like to see an RX-8 with a headlight and fog light kit like in Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3's "Past 12 O' Clock Cinderella" Wanderer. The headlights and four bottom lights make it look like an endurance racer, even if you think an RX-8 with a bodykit is ugly. But for a two-tone color scheme, here are four color choices:
Bright Red and Cardinal Red (or maybe even candy red
Royal Blue and Midnight Blue
Metallic Green and British Racing Green
Black and dark gray
Just making suggestions... but no disrespect to your avatar or your pictures. Just suggesting to PD.
