I feel like the guy from iA right now. Sorry. I am actually pretty excited to get this.

Holy moly, I wasn't really that fussed about it until I saw these vids.

anyone made it past level 21? it's sooo sloooow...
also, wish there were more race cars available to purchase. online store, used cars and dealer all mostly have touring cars which even when fully tuned won't cut it against their full-fledged race cars.
and still haven't got my hands on a good vintage car yet for the expert class race. supposedly there's an old z-28 or ss camaro or something that once tuned is pretty fast, but haven't come accross it yet..

If you buy the "fully adjustable" gearbox or whatever (it's 20,000) you'll get well over 200mph by going into the tuning section and cranking the mph as far as it goes. Sorry, this is a really crap explanation, I'd take screen grabs if I was at home.
I agree, though, the fucker drives like a boat. I've just got to level 17. What pisses me off is not being able to sell shitty cars I've won along the way, so I just leave them in the garage as reminder of my triumphs. ;-)
Also, how the fuck do I save up a couple million to pay for a wicked race car? I think the most cash I've had is like 450,000. I then spunked it on that fucking Challenger, which has done well, but I think I'll get twatted in the Expert class.

best way to gain XP and credits = seasonal events - bonus races.
- Which I'm totally shit at. Can you race them more than once and get credits still?Andrew_D
- Yeah, most of the bonus races are pretty easy to run, with only tires and suspension upgrades. Try doing the ones that ask for slower cars. Those are easier to win.kumori04

yeah, i was blown away by how slow the download and install went over fiber, and then even more so when i realized the load time seemed about the same. anyone know if that can be undone easily? i don't really fiddle with my ps3 enough to know what all i can do with it. i mean, i JUST finally got around to updating it for the very first time, and this is the original v1 console!

I shouldn't, but I will.
- Why shouldn't you?CygnusZero4
- It'll take over my nights. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.neandersthal
- i shouldn't either but i will toomoIdero

yeah, i figured out how to set the gear ratio's for certain races. basically, i opt for lower output if i'm about to enter into a race with a lot of turns, but with the indianapolis speedway, on the other hand, i opened it up a bit more. it shifts at a higher RPM, but i can kiiiiinda hold my own against those true race cars out there with my ford gt lm race car. brought my position from like 7th to 3rd.
they kinda make you 'grind' a lot, and by grinding i mean, doing races over and over to level up and get more cash - wich is annoying for the higher-level races where you're doing 5 laps.
one of my biggest gripes about this game is the shady AI. i've noticed this and you probably have too, but if you can pass cars near the beginning of the race, you can hold your lead fairly easily, even with sloppy, slowish driving as long as you don't crash. BUT, if you do fall behind for whatever reason, the cars that pass you go into fucking god-mode and they grace every corner and straigh-away with unbelievable precision. and no matter how fast you punch it, and how tight you hit those corners, catching up is damn near futile.
i really enjoy the game, but it's far from perfect.
- Ha! Well spoken! The passing thing is spot on, I've fucking mashed my way into the first corner many a time to come..Andrew_D
- out in first after it because it'd be impossible to win if I didn't. I'm almost at the point where I wish for a code to unlock every..Andrew_D
- every car just so I can drive them.Andrew_D
- do the seasonal events to get more alot of cash & exp !elektro

I'm having a right cunt of a time trying to beat the second last license final race, the one with the white Lambo. I'm kicking ass most of the race, then I'll slightly nudge someone and get disqualified. Drives me insane, rubbin' is racing man!!!

Ok, so i tried the birthday trick yesterday where you sign up with a 2nd psn account and enter your birthday as the year of the car you want and then gift that to your main account. There are about 10 cars in gt5 that are of that year, and I just wanted the sauber so I firgured I wouldnt' get it on my first try. Nope, I got it, but as it turns out, you're now not allowed to gift cars that are over a certain value. 1m credits, I believe. Such a shame..

Nascar and gokarts in it as well.
- Nascar must be the lamest sport ever conceived.Lillebo
- The way Nascar was conceived is the only cool thing about itgoldieboy
- Drag racing on the beach in Daytona. On TV Nascar sucks. At the race, in the pits its bad ass. Def a must do in your life.VikingKingEleven

:/monospaced - Judging by the one pic that did work, that looks like the Nissan GTR. Which is interesting because the GT5 creators did the actual gauge screen for the car.soundsinsilence

Steve, how did you get the Gulf? I can't find it to buy it, did you win it by beating the classic race car series in expert? I can't find a good car to beat that series with.
- CygnusZero40
Im not crazy into cars either, I love nice cars, cant afford any of the ones I like, but racing people is still fun. Im into the competition.
- Andrew_D0
JackRyan, I've done what you said with the challenger, now how the fuck do I get it to go faster than 105mph? Hahahaha.... it get's there in no time with 730HP, but won't go any faster. What the heck am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
- Shit, my transmission timing was way off. Hahaha....oh boy, now I can go 250mph! ;-)Andrew_D
