I guess it's sold now?

Are standard cars actually going to appeal to the "Playstation generation" given a large part of the game was about tuning?

I count myself as one of this generation, and the first thing I did when I got the cars I idolized in the games I did exactly what I did in those games, start modifying them.

A standard Tommi 6 would get cained in most events needing a iB license or higher anyway.

I think the people picking up these standard cars are buying them as an investment above all else. Those who want to relive their games will probably be looking at ones with a Stage 4 Turbo kit.

To sound like an utter loser for a second...

In Gran Turismo, i had many cars in my 'garage' that i didn't race. I bought 'twins' so i could race one and keep another for 'nice'. And yet somehow, i'm not a virgin.

Everyone has a modified Evo; to be different is to have a completely stock one. You also get to nerd out on the original details and appreciate the history more.

I'd hope so, this thread is from a few years back.

These cars, in immaculate conditions are going to go precisely the same way Cosworths have.

Up, Up, Up, Unattainable.

Although they're are considerably more around than 22B's. Hopefully being the halo Evo will make the values go in a similar direction.

Question for those in the know; Was it only red TME's that came from the factory with orange indicators? Never seen any of the other colours with them.

I believe so, certainly the pictures in the original brochure showed the red TME with orange lenses while the other colours appear to have clear, in so far as any of the other colours are featured.

Nope, orange was the standard colour. Seems a lot of people swapped to clear versions.



Would absolutely recommend a 5/6. Any version you can get, RS, GSR or TME (there are few practical differences). Amazing cars and fully regret selling mine.
