With the experience I got from Gran Tourismo 1, I knew it made more sense to spend money on upgrades than to buy a car with high horsepower and I went straight ahead and bought the old clunker. I could have bought an underpowered B-segment car, but there was also this “old clunker” that I knew via some obscure English fan-subbed Hong-Kong dubbed anime that later became world famous. After obtaining my B-license I had to buy a new car, but I was low on cash. When I obtained a Japanese copy of Sega GT Homologation Special (the 2000 game) in late 2000 I found it intriguing as I only knew about 10 to 15% of the cars available in that game.

The car was able, after full tuning and correct settings break the 400 km/h barrier while still maintaing stock look. Green with white accents, similair to the Puma race livery offered as the final tuning stage in GT. And i somehow still feel the strong need of owning such a GTO in real life.

😉 But as for a teenager salvitating in front of a 14″ TV with PSX attached it was THE BEST CAR EVER MADE. Now, after millenias passed and i gained extensive knowlege about cars, engeniring, driving etc., i’m not so sure if this coresponds with reality. Far better then it’s only worthy oponnents – Skyline’s R32 & R33 GT-R.


It was availible in Gran Turismo series, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3, Kaido Battle… But before that, even before i’ve got my driving licence and my real-car-life started i adored a different machine – the virtually unbeatable Mitsubishi GTO TwinTurbo!! It was an absolute killer-car in GT1 & GT2. Now, when i own a car that is futured in racing games (Legacy 3rd gen) i should say that it’s that car. Escudo PikesPeak… Total overkill… It was the quickest way to win hard races and sell expensive prize cars to gain credits, to fulfill other car wishes…īut for me it wasn’t the best car.
