There was a program way back when that would let you manipulate Gran Tursimo 3 cars in every possible way. It was call GT3gEdit. You could interchange parts between every car in the game, multiply tuning parameters by ridiculous numbers, all sorts of shit. You could even max out the downforce to some crazy number like 5000 so your car would stick to the road no matter how fast you were going.
Here's some youtube vids I found so y'all can see what I'm talking about...
The Gran Turismo Genome ProjectGran Turismo Hybrid Blitzwagon @ Midfield - 29.410 - Max E.GT40 HybridGran Turismo 3 Acura 0-1000mI had a ZZII that would lap Deep Forest in about 40 seconds. A Mitsubishi that would top 3000 mph at the test course. A Toyota set up similar to that last vid which if I recall correctly had around 30,000 horsepower and would get to around 1000 mph in the 1000 meter run.
With no online play back then this was a fun way to enjoy the game for a little while longer after completion.
Watching all the youtube vids I found was a nice trip down memory lane.
So, did anyone else "hybrid"?
