I leave most cars stock.


Hate the events where you have to use race tires/tuning on street cars (IA/Manufacturer races)

Only "full tuned" car is the AMG for SSX grinding.

And race tires/parts for the FFX because he should have had them in the first place.


Pretty much gave up trying to "fix" cars that don't have proper handling (for me).
Setup work in GT6 just sux because there is no telemetry data, how to make a setup when you have no info on tire temp. or susp. travel and can't even feel/hear when the car starts to bottom out if its to low ?
Also all the bugs like custom wheels, R8 steering or snap oversteer on braking on some cars ... :grumpy:

If i am short on money i use the "memory card trick" to test drive different cars before i continue with the one i liked most.
 
Yeah, you can add me to the no tune list. Two reasons for that. 1-I much prefer to drive a car knowing its how it should be. And 2-When I have attempted to tune it just screws up the feel of the car.....lol. Yep I really struggle with that, hence keeping things stock.

I have not bought anything apart from tires so far.

I suppose I will purchase some minor things for cars that need adjustments but nothing that is related to horsepower and weight.

"Tunning" in Gran Tursimo has always been very weak. We cannot adjust tire pressures, which is something so simple, most do it to their cars at a gas station. The numerical values they use for suspensions are unrealistic. The way downforce is calculated also makes no sense whatsoever. Racing teams normally have a number of body panels with different areo balance to them while wings generally come with pre determined slots. I have never seen any sort of an aerodynamic device go from 0 to 345. What does that even mean anyway?

Not to mention how the suspension settings work backwards sometimes, glitches with the aftermarket wheels, cars having wayyyy different weight distribution than stock. I could go on all day.

Its just better to leave things as is in this game.

You're of course right that there's no "one size fits all approach".........

On the other hand I just love how so many different cars show a unique or at least recognisable behaviour and I don't want to lose that.

I feel there's a certain beauty to unmodified, stock production cars. :)

Yes, as long as PD has managed to accurately reproduce the "stock" beauty.

But, in principal I agree, big reason I had so many cars in GT5 were the multiple copies...
of which one was always kept bone stock.

Once I digest the new GT6 physics a bit more, I will participate organized "spec" online races.
No tuning needed, they run stock cars.

2) The tuning in-game is unrealistic. You buy a car that's essentially the greatest that modern engineering can create, and yet the game allows you to just slap a Stage 3 turbo on it and make it way beyond what it could ever achieve in real life. The people that made these cars in the first place didn't do that because it would tear itself apart if you tried. Only a fool would think he could just slap a new exhaust on a Veyron and make it "better".

...heh.

You'll forgive me if I find entertainment in this post, considering where you live. Y'know, since you're in the same state as Hennessey Performance, whose stock in trade is just that. ;)

Also, I thought the stock suspension had a bit of toe on the rear, that's not factory stock, so the in-game models are less squirrely than their real-life counterparts. (At least, that was true in GT5; haven't bothered to play around with suspension in GT6 as of yet.)
 
I've been following this thread with interest. I'm 'stock' guy as well. I have no issues with people that like to tune their cars, but I have always felt that if your current car isn't cutting the mustard then buy a better car. :)

Like the OP said, slamming a car with max upgrades without any thought isn't much fun. I'll do some minor touch up tuning to eke out a few extra HP or PP, but I stay away from the full engine upgrades.

Now I admit it's fun trying to turn a regular stock car into a racing car, but I seldom do it. I've always wanted to turn the Buick GNX into a full fledged NASCAR, and even the other classic American cars like the Mercury or the Pontiac Tempest. But that's another story altogether.

Otherwise, there's usually an upgraded/tuned car already in the game. I guess it could be fun to tune an NSX for example, but isn't that what the Type R cars already are, a tuned version of the original?

Finally, I like to keep cars stock to see how they might perform at their limits. There's never going to be a time where I'll get to drive a Mazda Protégé full bore, so why not see how it handles under maximum pressure in the game? :p
