"Standards" the good, the bad and the ugly

I dropped that lt1 out of a 1995 Formula into my 89 IROC fantastic engine!

 

Ok

 

In GT5 my fc RX7 was a premium. In this one its a standard. Any other cars get downgraded?

 

The R390 is just...wow.
I know it's been posted here, but I cannot believe how much this car has improved. From the atrocious quality GT5 version that barely exceeded GT2 standards, to becoming near-premium status is quite the accomplishment. PD, I tip my hat to all of you. Words cannot express how much this car has improved. It's simply beautiful and definitely on the road to becoming a full-on Premium car.
Spending 1,000,000cr on this beauty was well worth it. The sound is excellent, the grip is fantastic, and it's overall a beautiful car. I dare to say that it might have earned itself a spot in my top 5 all-time favorite cars in GT6. I nominate this car as the best-improved Standard car.

And now for some pics, donning Europablu from the Opel Speedster and some OZ rims.
All pics are straight from the game. No editing done whatsoever

 

you probably bought the wrong one. Premium cars will have the gallery option available.

 

That is THE most premium standard I've seen

 

Please, someone can post some picture of the '01 polo GTI and look if PD update it??

 

Post some pics of the IROC-Z give some 80s gm love!

 

The Holden SS looked pretty good for a standard (headlights were just textures though).
The Subaru 03 Legacy however looks atrocious.

 

My 1999 Subaru Impreza Type-R Sti Version looks better than it did in GT5, but doesn't look quite PS3 quality yet.

 

The Holden Commodore looks abysmal especially from the front as its wheels extend out from the body.

 

Here you go , Seat Ibiza Cupra is semi premium for sure.Look how clean it is !
Although there are some mistakes with the front grill now but no matter.

Look how upgreadable brakes can be seen now.
Also a Peugeot 106 which is still STANDARD-STANDARD ,not even smoothed BUT
you can put a CARBON hood on it as I said. How cool is that ? I am yet to find another Standard
that you can do this.

Also an Impreza Standard-Standard but still great looking

 

The bad : Miata/Roadster/MX-5 (whatever you call it ) of the 2nd generation (NB models)

I cannot understand why they didn't polished them ! That's not like if there were exactly the same or if there was only 547981 of each gen

 

I noticed you could get painted carbon hoods for standards, but hadn't noticed the unpainted one. Interesting. Especially on a non-touched up standard.

 

Its the only one so far , I have tried dozens more.Not even 1 "semi premium" so far.

The new carbon hood is very detailed also

 

I like the smooth fenders of the STi. It's too bad the headlamps and hoodscoop suck balls.

 

So let me get this right........we have Standard, Premium, Sub-standard Standard, Premium Standard? Got it!

 

All standards more or less are improved.
Some textures only
Others smoothing (fenders etc)
Others to semi-premium ,with independant panels.
Others didnt receive a texture update at all but all of them have updated painting
they look like premiums to me (painting)

In Gt5 the same Impreza was weird with the WR Mica Paint on it.Now it looks like a charm .

I believe more cars will be updated

 

Lesson learned...It is still just a freaking skyline!

 

Ahh, thank you. Did not look like a premium at first glance in the dealership. Neat trick

 

AKA they were all released unfinished at a different stage of completion in order to pad the car count on the box.

 

Also, standards are easy to pick out by looking at the windows. Cars with dark interiors/windows are always standard. Cars with clear windows and visible seat backs are premium.

 

-Speedstar
-Mustang SVT
-All Rufs
-FTO
-XJ220
looks great

 

Mazda efini RX-7 Type R-S (FD) '95 isn't semi-premium but standard.

I think we should take pictures to confirm....

 

It's got poor textures but you can clearly see that panel gaps around doors, hood, trunk headlights, bumpers, are more prominent than they used to be. This means that in a way or another the car got reworked a bit. As I've written in a comment a while back, there are various levels of "semipremium-ness". Some cars only appear to have upgraded panel gaps. This alone already makes them stand out more during races and photos. Other cars also have better textures and 3d modeling.

 

The formula PD is awesome as a standard! They even upgraded the stearingwheel to the point you can see the fabric! Also the bodywork is premium-like, making it my favorite car to drive at Ascari at 10.30 with 50% weather. It looks so realistic! And combined with the Ayrton Senna racing suit,..... well, let's just say I love GT6!

 

For me, a standard isn't semi premium if it got poor textures. It must be almost perfect, as RUF or Seat Ibiza Cupra for example

Wow guys, some amazing pictures here!

 

The Nissan R390 it's just... Wow...

Much Speechless. Such Awesome.
