The in game one isn’t even a true ZR-1. They just took the Grand Sport car model (which is an outdated FM2 mesh) from FM4, rebadged it and took the livery off.
But you know what? Feel free to disagree. But stop jumping down people’s throats simply for suggesting a model you don’t agree with. It’s insufferable. Just chill out mate. I wouldn’t even be disappointed that much if PGG decided to add a different model, I’d probably drive it way more than the one we currently have in the game because it’s a freshly laser scanned new to Forza car and not a crusty Xbox 360 model with a non functioning targa roof.
A standard, non-facelift coupe or convertible with a hardtop with round taillights, all digital dash, 230 HP ish engine and 4+3 manual transmission would be great. I’ve never seen the base model in FM or FH - or in GT.
The last game I have seen the standard one was Test Drive. No, not the Unlimited, the original one, in the eighties. It’s been a while.
Yes GS was a fun car in GT1. The reason I asked the old base model (aside of visual differences) is to differentiate it more (PI) from 405 hp ZR-1. If there was a retractable hardtop convertible option on that era Corvettes I would prefer that before another coupe to be honest. I generally don’t like the duplicate thing in racing games, they rarely bring any real value to the game.
*edit
I had forgot there was an OEM hardtop option for these. This would be nice:
Did search it and yeah 3 roof options were available. The coupe (has a removable panel making it into a targa) the soft top convertible, and finally the removable roof which is the one you shared)
Transmission: 6-speed manual (an automatic option was not available)
Drivetrain: RWD
0-60: 4.9-5.2 seconds
Top speed: 168 mph
Specs (GS Convertible):
Engine: 5.7L V8 (naturally aspirated)
Horsepower: 330 @ 5800 rpm
Torque: 340 lb-ft @ 4500 rpm
Transmission: 6-speed manual (again, an automatic option was not available)
Drivetrain: RWD
0-60: 4.9-5.2 seconds
Top speed: 168 mph
Note: In 1995, for the 1996 model year, Chevy decided to reintroduce the Grand Sport moniker as a nod to the original 1960s C2 Grand Sport to mark the end of production for the C4 ‘Vette; only around 1000 examples were built, with 810 coupes and 190 convertibles, all finished in a Admiral Blue paint job with white striping in the middle and red “hash marks” on the front driver’s side wheel arch
loved driving that car in gran turismo 1.
