I just went out and bought the original Playstation along with GT2 figuring it'd be my only way of having access to an S2000 since mine's about four months away.

Just curious as to the accuracy of GT2's S2000 v. the real thing.

Are the engine notes the same? The shifts the same?

Cuz it sounds pretty darn good on the Sony.

if you do the 1/4 mile speed test or whatever. it runs pretty close to the actual figures. around a 14. has all the same colors.. (even blue) only thing is ya can't put the top down.

Yeah the shift points are all right but I have a hard time relating because you can't feel the car.

But it doesn't seem like there's a VTEC push at the 6RPM... what about the sounds of the engine?

You can tell VTEC kicking in at little above 6k rpm even on GT2, I think. You should drive Spoon S2000 and Race modified S2000. It made me wish to have one of those in my garage.

I was disappointed when VTEC didn't kick in at 6k. But again, that was expected.
I bought a playstation 2 months ago just to play GT2.

Spoon S2000 on GT2. It is possible to get a Spoon equiped S2000 on GT2. All you have to do is get GOLD Medals/Cups for each of the 10 trials for the B Class License. You can keep re-trying each trial until you get gold. It took me less than 1 hour. Once you get all 10 with gold you are given a "Spoon S2000." It cannot be bought anywhere else on the game that I know of. Very cool in blue with I think 264hp.

It even does the 1-2 grind when the ambient temperature is warm enough.

Is there a PC game with the S2K on it? I sold my Playstation to a kid who didn't have the $$$ to buy the PS2. I didn't realize the S2K was on GT 2.

JC,

If you want to play PSX games on PC, you can. Either you can go out to Best Buy and buy Bleem 2.0 (or whatever the current version is), set it up onto your PC or laptop. This software allows you to play PSX games.

You can also download Bleem 2.0 off of a hacker site and it will work just the same but you save about $30. (Also, the Bleem software allows you to play 'burned', or copied, PSX games on your PC. On the actual PSX console, you cannot play burned copies unless you have added the 'mod-chip').

Another thing is, if you have PS2 the system is setup to be backwards compatible; meaning to say that all PSX games are playable on PS2, but not the other way around.
