That is the stupidest thing ever.

Why make me level up to get a decent physics engine?

Why isn't there no interior for the S15 Spec S? The Spec R has it...

Premium car, but still the same though.

Anyone beat the GT Championship (A or B spec) in the Pro series?

Even with a 829hp Lambo and soft racing tires its no match for the race cars against me. Anyone with ideas or is it just to save up for a race car?

Damn, this is what I was afraid of...

I have a 700hp Ferrari and was hoping I could compete with that. Looks like you're going to need a $1,000,000+ dollar car.

Heard some beating it with some of the other cars, but I couldn't seem to in a couple tries yesterday.

Some even saying the 458 Italia could win it, I have one but maxed out its less than 700hp. Maybe I need some downforce on my Lambo or something. Or I try to tune the McLaren F1 and try it.

Which PS3 is 'tank sized'? Big casing or 120G?

I have an old 60G that I bought used in '07 and haven't had any issues with GT5.

It corrupted your data? Or did it crash while you were in the middle of a save?

I got the B-spec GT World Championship conquered with the Gamestop Nascar. Now the Zonda R will be used for the A-spec one. Wished I didn't have to work, I could be playing.

I beat the GT World Championship with my GTR500 Stealth Series... pretty easy, and a great way to make money.

I'm in the professional series, my Merc has nearly 700bhp, etc. but the damn this is heavy as hell. I can only pass people in corners, but after that, I'm back to the bottom. Saving up for something else, I only have 4 cars now :(

My Evo with 474 bhp will tear those supercars apart, but if the straight is too long, they'll catch up no matter how far behind they are. Wish I had a 7th gear, then I'd be fine

Fully adj tranny and extend the gears if you need more top end speed. Though at the costs of acceleration.

Or try for a GTR of some kind, should get more hp out of it.

True. I haven't bought the fully adj tranny yet, I'll do that. The acceleration is pretty insane right now, so I'll shoot for a higher top speed.

I have 142K cr right now, saving up for a Lamdo, preferebly the SV.

Preordering at GameStop and getting the collectors edition definitely makes it easier. The #20 Nascar, McLaren F1, and Lambo that you get out of the 7 free cars are a huge help.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

All I got was the SLR Stealth Model and it really hasn't helped much...

I need something for the GT Championship in the Pro Series...
