Gran Turismo 3 Discussion...

I went miata->SVT cobra->Z06->C-5 Race car(gawd I love corvettes)->GT one road car-> the indy 500 car (it's friggin insane) and the escudo for rallies.

Is there some kind of perfect set up on the silvia's?Mine dont seem to handle that great.maybe a better tire?

[JJ240]

they handle pretty good when compared to other cars in their class. Try driving a stock miata then driving a stock silvia. The handling probably seems cruddy because you are used to race cars in the game.

i just restarted my gt2 game a couple days ago and i rekindled my love for the daishin silvia, man that thing is crazy with only 413 horsepower. also the nismo 400r and the nismo 270r which is a 270 horsepower silvia tuned by nismo. gt2 has the best cars for japenese enthusists

[GatorS14]

Its hard to play GT2 after GT3.the handling is way different.do they have a mazda 323 gtx(or its equivalent) in gt2?

The Silvia's have always handled great for me, even bone stock. Perhaps you may be running too much power and not enough tire/suspension upgrades to keep it on the road.

I like how the GT4 screenshots include an old Isuzu sports coupe, maybe we'll get the Impulse Rally Car finally!

[GatorS14]

I hate to admit it ,but i can drive the fwd cars better than the rwd cars on GT3.

I do have the suspension to match the power.what tires do ya'll race with?

[Myrk]

Gator it really depends on what race and the style i feel like racing. But most of the time I use Mids all round unless I'm going for time or an endurence race.

Does drafting work in GT3? I've always been too far in front of te competetion to find out...

Yeah I'm pretty sure it does. Could just be my imagination though.

[JJ240]

Yes drafting does exist in GT3. In fact the only way I won a race on the test track oval in the indy car against the R390 race car was by drafting him the whole race then jumping ahead at exit of the final corner. Used his draft to get faster than him and cut out. He passed me up just as we crossed the finish line. You can actually hear the wind sound cut out when you get in their draft.

[SmithSR]

Yes, drafting works with any car on the Test Course. If you try and use a car that is similar to the other cars in power/gearing setup, you're in for quite a good race.

[Onizuka]

strongly agree with this. gt2 had way better cars than gt3. they had sileighty, 270r, a few difefrent 400r i think, autech skylines, amemiya rx7, the entire used car section, zenki s14, s30.i hope gt4 is going to be more like gt2 in the variety of car selection.

not totally true, they have a bunch of secret cars they dont even list in the guide book or in the game. I have at least 9 or 10 difforent skylines (4 are difforent Nismo tuned ones including a 400r) and there are over 14 difforent skylines total.

they have secret cars for pretty much every big car manufacturer

[team23rulz]

oh boy...i'm going to go try out this new drafting thing...that is one of my favorite aspects of Nascar Thunder 2003!

[sideshow]

i like to swap tire compounds on my cars to keep them evenly worn, like on fwd's il use a super hard on the front and maybe a soft mid on the rear because the fronts wear out sooner, and on rwd its even more important because the last thing u need in an endurance race is to lose on the last few laps because ur rear end was fishtailing while the front stayed planted.
