Absolutely hyped about GT7. I'm loving the return of the used car dealer, proper upgrades and GT Auto. One thing I'm hoping for however, is properly high powered road cars. I need some 1000+ HP Vipers back in my life, and I think the Skylines, Supras, and GTRs ect should also be in that ballpark, when maxed out of course.
GT Hasn't been a stranger to high HP Before, the Skyline GTRs, '97 Mitsubishi GTO and '97 MK4 Supra made over 900HP back in GT1. The Vipers made 1000+ in GT6, with the '02 GTS being over 1100. If they go the route of GT2, wth these cars suddenly going from 900HP to barely pushing 650, I'd be pretty bummed out.
There really isnt a good reason to not have this an an option available to us either. Some may say "but high HP is lame, it spoils the handling" or something along those lines, but you can always drive the car stock or turn down the power.
If the player wants to take the absolute brick of a car that is an R32 and give it 1K HP so they can throw it around SSRX at 260+, then then so be it.
If they want to lower the power to say, 550HP, and go for a Gr.A replica setup, they should have the option to do that too.
Would be very cool if the higher your HP, the more stress your engine goes through, requiring more frequent rebuilds, but I think thats reaching a bit too far.
Upgrades, proprely good upgrades, thats what I'm hoping for.
