[PS3] Gran Turismo 5

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Finished the Jeff Gordon NASCAR School.

Was hoping for either Tony Stewart or Juan Montoya, got Montoya :bow:

Looks like now I need to start saving for the Formula GT car, 4.8 million

Just a word of caution in case you guys haven't tried it already...racing modifications on a car are a waste of money. I tried it on my 69 Camaro Z28 and I'm pretty sure it actually made the car slower and handle WORSE than it did before (I had done a bit of tuning beforehand). DON'T DO IT!!

Did you add only power? Some of these cars after adding more FI, you need to mess with the final gear ratio, so you don't run out of range. I am gonna have to do that with my Lambo for sure.

I say Ga-lar-do because i can

RM tuning removes all previous mods done to your car...therefore if you plan on RM'ing it, make sure it is the first thing you do.

Ahh........damn didn't read the "racing modifications" part to carefully. I am usually at work before this time of day, so I am speed reading throught posts and replying.

IDK what RM does to your tuning additions. I'm pretty sure it removed them but it shows that they're installed on the car. I can't even reapply them. It really sucks since I lost about 150 HP..

Aight just finished the Amateur section. Got the Daihatsu Midget for completing the section and the Level 9 car I got was the 440 HP 04 Vanquish!! After first Oil Change, 467 hp

Someone want to explain to me why I can't use the 740 KG Mini Cooper in the British Lightweight classic?

[Justo]

Mini is a German Brand (I was surprised too).

That RM Z28 looks sweet but it's slow and handles like a boat.

Yea but weren't the old ones made in Germany. I am trying to use the one we win in the Mini Challenge.

Man I feel like I making out like a bandit so far. My car's have been ridiculous for finishing all the different levels. I got the 2001 NSX for Beginner, 2004 Vanquish for Amateur. Whereas you guys are gettin some weird cars.

I saw a GT450 in the used car lot for 74k, didn't splurge on it. Hopefully the GT500 is in the game.

Looks like I will also have to buy a Ferrari, apparently you need one for the Ferrari Challenge, but too bad you have to spend 200K to get one, fuckin BS.

I bought a new one and it didn't work either.

And you think 200,000 for a car is steep? You're better off playing as many of the special events as you can and saving up for the Enzo. It's worth it.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

All of my prize cars have been crap, other than the Premium Challenger. Still haven't used that one though. Hoping to get a chrome paint chip once I get to 90 cars.

For golding the advanced Jeff Gordon Challenges I got a 70 Superbird (kinda cool I guess) and a Plymouth Prowler. I did get a NASCAR obviously which is cool though.

I bought a 599 for the Ferrari challenge and then spent a boatload on maxxing it out for the hell of it, I think I ended up spending almost 900k

I love it though

I probably be up for some more online racing around 6ish est tomorrow if anyone else is down...I have my full arsenal in my online garage now, screw all those default cars.

Fuck I must have been really tired, I mean't "Weren't the old ones made in England?"

I only have 287k in creds right now, that's why I don't feel like spendng money.
