Cool little car, the FT-86. It has a tendency to oversteer, which took some getting used to, but after that's under control the chassis feels quite nice. I was on the last 90* corner of Tokyo, thinking that it was a sweet little car, when I spun out. Lost my lead of a few seconds but recovered quickly, still took first. This was on the last lap too.
Fun game, still. Even though I'm finding that it's basically GT4 with better physics, tire smoke, and cockpit views. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

I wish I could tune the Elise's suspension on the Top Gear challenge. That thing slide way too much. I just got myself an '04 Elise 111R and tuned the suspension to where I can drive it great. Damn challenges...

the elise actually sucks balls. tuned one out for the british lightweights. back end whips out like crazy. with soft performances's That's exactly why I got one. The back end still whips out, but I have the fully adjustable suspension, so I messed with ride height, sway bar, and toe until I could control it. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Okay, so I finally found a '98 ST205 in the used section!! I dumped some money into it for moderate mods and a full adj suspension.
This car is a NIGHTMARE to tune. Understeer is a very big problem and no matter how extreme I tune it for oversteer, it refuses to turn easily. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Ok, is it just me or am I not getting the same dirt effects as some of the other people? I just did the beginner rally special events with my Lancia and it still looks showroom clean. WTF?

Damn I guess you got me! Just wondering what does it weigh? I'm thinking I might have a better power/weight ratio;)

Ok - so been busy around here trying to cleanup and get the house ready for the weekend (fam coming) but I made a point of playing at least 1 race tonight.
I bought a '99 MR2 Spyder; and this is my first Sunday Cup! YAY! Still lvl 0 - but that can only get better. ![]() ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by KAOS: Dec 2, 2010 - 3:31 AM -------------------- |

I've only done the one Sunday Cup so far... then !@#ed around with the Photo Mode for about 1/2 hour.
So far - Photo Mode is the cats meow! LOL. I can't wait to get a high powered vehicle onto the Laguna Seca. (all time fav track besides the test track... ) -------------------- |

Do tell Rusty. This only applies to a grid start (not a rolling start). When the racing menu is up (the one right before you start a race) and there is a preview of a race behind it... or is it I found that you could control your car and drive around (but you have to use the analog sticks, as pressing 'X' enters that menu icon) -------------------- |

So far - Photo Mode is the cats meow! Its good but only thing I dont like is when trying to get an action shot during a race replay, you cant fast fwd or rewind or go in slow-mo to get that exact perfect shot...if you played past the part, you gotta watch the entire replay again...maybe there is something I'm missing but I cant find those FF/REW options... Otherwise the game is awesome. It reminds me of GT3 on PS2...limited and kinda a mess but still great. Then GT4 came and blew everyone away. I remember the only gripe w/ GT3 was the lack of cars. then GT4 had the 800+ remember? well GT5 woulda ran into the same problem if it just stuck w/ the Premium cars...then peeps would just complain about the lack of cars again despite everything looking incredible. So they go 1000+ cars and peeps complain that only some look good. They really cant win. Peeps complain about anything. Just give Kaz and crew 2 more yrs and GT5.5 or GT6 or whatever they release will blow this one away and make everyone eat shiz! -------------------- -ian-

Another gripe: I wish there was a master setting for driver controls. I have to manually turn mine off for license tests and races, gets annoying after a while.
But, I think I've found one of my new favorites: the 512. Looks gorgeous, and punishes you with lift-throttle oversteer. Fun stuff. Very visceral.
