my 700HP R35 cant get over 303km. wtf

missed out on an NSXRLM. looked shit hot

Adjust your gear box to set the high speed higher.

All the races are easy besides the gran turismo all stars one thats pretty challenging.

All the races are easy if you use 11ty KW cars with all the mods and good tyres. Sunday Cup in a Veyron FTW!

But go and win the light-weight up in a stock Midget.

I've been trying to make it my challenge to win everything in 100% stock car (its a good way to save lots of $$$ for buying cars too!)

But it definitely increases the challenge of the game. It's too easy to make the game easy though...

^^ Apart from getting all golds in special events and licenses....That's where the game gets bs hard.

[Mohsen]

[GTRPowa]

They call it 'night shift'.

I call it playing with death.

Damn you guys make it sound so good. How does it compare to Forza Motorsports 3? That game kill GT5 because of the tyre temperatures, engine swaps, drivetrain swaps, visual modifications, simulation damage etc. Just asking what you guys would prefer...

My wife came into the office today with gt5 in her hand then gave me a bj in the car. I am still wondering what the hell she did wrong.

LOL maybe she didn't do anything wrong but if your willing to try your luck, tell her you can't believe she didnt get you the G27 steering wheel.

Managed to pick up a PS3 120GB slim for $270!

Next step is to buy GT5!

In some ways juiced 2 is better. You can do up your car any way you like.

Just bought the collector's edition today from JB hi-fi highpoint who had 20% of games/dvds today (due to some VIP event). $103. Thought I'd spring the extra $30 or so for the Apex book, which I couldn't find being sold anywhere separately.

[Charles89]

I've seen that too. Whats the apex book? And what's the 5 cars that you get?

[Phatboy]

The APEX book is awesome. It's 300 pages and details the history of the car and has a big section on improving driving skills (in-game and IRL). I couldn't find it anywhere else being sold separately so I had to buy the collector's edition (CE).

The voucher you get in CE lets you d/l from PSN 5 chromeline cars:

• Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro Chrome Line Edition
• BMW M3 Coupe Chrome Line Edition
• Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Chrome Line Edition
• Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe Chrome Line Edition
• Shelby Cobra 427 Chrome Line Edition

They are nice, but if I had my time again, I would have waited until I REALLY needed them for special events before downloading them. When I remember back to previous GT games, my fondest memory was actually starting at the start with a MX-5 or some other cheap car and gradually modifying it bit by bit by the earnings I scrounged from each race that I barely won. At the same time I would take the licence exams, and through these and the beginner races, my skill and experience would gradually steadily develop with the capabilities of my car. It was this development that made it so addictive and challenging. You always wanted to get back to the game to tune your car and win some more cash to spend on it. You developed a close relationship with your car, because it was unique, it was your first car, and you had "grown up" with it. You always had a soft spot and a place in your garage, and heart, for that first car, no matter how awesome you became later.

With GT5 I made the mistake of downloading the chromeline cars at the start, and it totally spoils the whole game when you go through beginner classes destroying Civics with your LP640. It's like going through Call of Duty with god mode from the start. What makes a game good is challenge and character/car development, along with your own development - and these are missing when you use the chromeline cars at the start, especially as you can't modify them. Sure, I could fake crapness and ignore the 5 awesome cars in my garage and use a Fiat Punto, but they're always too much of a distraction. It totally cheapens the whole experience, and demotivates you from playing the game. I think the designers overlooked this fact when they introduced this feature.
