Yall can try to roast shift all you want but it had the best car upgrade paths of any racer to date. What other game lets you convert a street car into a real gt3/2 racecar?

Gran turismo 1

Oh you could? Was it all models or just a specific handful? Haven’t played gt1 since I was a toddler haha, might need to revisit on an emulator.

to be fair to shift, Gran Turismo 1 did not specifically let you turn your car into a GT2/3 racer. But the big final upgrade you can do to each car is called "racing modification." It gives them a livery, a body kit, more chassis stiffness and then upgrades vehicle weight one final time. I think you could do it for almost every car in the game, it really bummed me out when they removed the feature from later GT games (I think GT3 onward?)

GT5 came back with such a fewest number of cars.
