Me too - an old turbo one and gradually tuned it until I could afford an Impreza rally car. First time driving the Impreza was like WOW

Great game - I've had all the versions of Gran Turismo so far and it's great to finally have a road car that's in the game!

Looking forward to GT4 - it's a lot cheaper than driving my Legacy...

Are you talking about the escudo or the other one thats like blue or something.

just 1.125 seconds from beating the slow slaloms.

The GT road car is the dankest car in the game although it tends to fly off the road at the slightest touch. The Dualshock 2 buttons for the PS2 are analog so you don't have to be either full throttle or no throttle. This can help when getting licenses and hard low speed cornering. GT4 won't have car damage again this time and that's a good thing. I think it did say in PSM something about tire damage and pit stops though.

They had tire wear and pit stops since GT1, Padishar!

Oh, I guess I'm the only one who is a big enough loser to actually finish the endurance races...

And Laurel, do the tests yourself! petridish38 is right, you need to do them right in order to be successful in the game!

I guess I am mistaken once again.
I just never stop because it seems like it eats up a lot of time to take a pit but on the other hand I guess it eats up a lot of time if you're kissing the walls. GT3 is the first one I've owned so please give me a by on this one.

Endurance races on the highspeed ring = do not pit. Even if your car is slower top end you will win. Don't pit and you'll scrub 6-7 mph on corners and 2-3 mph on straights. Much less than the 30 seconds you lose from a pit. That's a hint to win those races and get the big money .

After I got the super license on GT3 I beat some easy race that all you needed was all out top end horsepower. They give me a friggin F1 car!!!! I tore GT3 a new one after they gave me that. I might bust that out of storage tonight and play it.

The blue pikes peak rally Suzuki. Looks like a hatchback and has a wing. I don't think that car should have been in the game. It made it to easy. You could beat the game with it having no skills. I don't remember if it was the Escado or not. I haven't played gt2 in a long time.

DAMN! I really wanted the car damage. The more realistic the better in my book. Keep people honest. It's too easy with some 1000hp car using the walls to turn. Oh well, I still can't wait for it to come out.

they should make it where you can turn damage on and off. cuz theres times you want it and times you dont.

Ok, went to play GT3 and it wasn't at the house, so I busted out GT2 and started all over again cuz I didn't have that data anymore. Well, there is only one first car to get... and that is the '93 Supra Turbo. $4,500 and still had money for a flywheel, racing intercooler, and stage I lightening before I even started the first race. (Tip: first weight lightening is only $1500 or so and drops over 100 lbs off the car if i remember correctly).

One hour later it was a 375 horse fire breathing monster with suspension, brakes, stage II turbo, full exhaust, chip, sport tires, stage II lightening, etc... The game seems so easy now. I already bought a WRX STi Type Ra. Heck yeah, cheaper and lighter than the rest of the STi's. I am doing all weight mods on it and no horsepower. This way I can kill all the horsepower limited races. It has flywheel, clutch, brakes, slicks, carbon fiber driveshaft, chip (small horsepower increase, more boost), stage II lightening. Soon to have race suspension, adjustable gear transmission. If only the game was real life.... sigh...

Get this, on GT1 you could turbo the SVX on GT2 you couldn't, and ofcourse they snubed the SVX for GT3, but it will be on GT4 yay for me.

My favorite 2 cars to run on GT2 where my SVX and my Legacy, the year was off on the Legacy but it looked close enough. The fully modded full turbo 360 was dead if you ever dropped below 50mph, talk about turbo lag. I don't think you can argue that the Viper rules the bone stock race in GT2. It's hard to beat a Viper.

In GT3 I fould out that the best way to learn car control is to run the stock Miata race. You really have to just drive better than all the other cars and keeping your speed up is very important, it's easy to forget these things when your driving 500+hp cars 5 laps ahead of everyone else. My favorite cars to run it GT3 was my tastfully modded 22B and my sweet Blitzen.

Can't wait for GT4.

That was my stealthy race car... I had one with the racing body kit, which received every mod there was, and another that got just the engine mods and tires...

The racing one easily paid for itself after a few tournaments, and I beat the top speed series with my souped-up one!! I believe I hit 230mph in it in a draft!!

Really? Mine was still kinda slow and turned like a brick.

Boys and girls, you can make a big fat pig of a car handle like a go-kart... all you have to do is adjust your suspension components!

Gran Turismo is GREAT in that you can adjust almost every aspect of your suspension. Every car I had that had suspension mods received a full adjustment whereever possible... Camber, toe, spring rates, all that stuff. I made all those adjustments and made some real sleepers...
