Nice work on the Gran Turismo 2 and the Unused Car pages, thanks for getting those images! --Pacifist 09:55, 11 March 2013 (EDT)

GT2 proto
Most of the cars in the removed section are either changed in final and are not removed. FMecha 15:38, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
 * All the cars in that list have codes (see the roster) that don't exist in the final. The Alfa's in that list were removed (their codes start aa-, the ones in final (also in the demo) start with ia-), likewise the Peugeot 306 (its code is ap36n, in final its fp36n (which is also in the demo too)).


 * The unnamed models also have codes, models and textures not in the final (I did diff the model and texture files to make sure). If they changed to a different code, and suffered texture and modeel changes, then that requires both a) visual inspection of the games cars and b) a judgement call (how much of a change do you allow before considering it a completely different car bearing in mind this is four months before the final game?).


 * You can't give Honda Life's or the TRD2000 racing mods in the game (so those are definitely are removed).


 * The Peugeot Rally can be moved to differences since that was an oversight (it too changed codes, fp3wr to fp3rr). The Nissan R390's are a tricky beast. In the final they are seperate cars with no relation to their respective race cars. In both the PH and OPM demos, they're normal cars which would have been upgraded with a racing mod to the race cars. Between demo and final their game names, codes, and textures changed, so they haven't simply being moved. They do look alike, so if you want to move them to the differences section, go ahead.


 * Also, you've got the demos confused in your edits. The GT bonus disc is identical to the Pizza Hut demo, not the OPM demo (which the page is currently about). Thefanman 16:45, 6 April 2013 (EDT)

GT2 regional differences... again
I have NTSC-U 1.0 GT2 and it has BOTH the Valvoline logos on the Focus WRC as well as the Mark Martin livery on the [R] Ford Taurus. FMecha 00:16, 16 May 2013 (EDT)
