i can put up with the small crap here and there, but the big thing that bothers me is the AI, it sucks so bad...... other than that, great game!

As in the settings for the controller.

Simulation mode is only applicable if you are using a racing wheel. I'm using the standard controller. I thought about picking up a wheel for the game, but it would end up in the closet with my Xbox360 wheel -- It's basically a pain to set up and take down the wheel every time I want to play

You can adjust brake balance but you can't upgrade the brakes. You can access the front/rear balance settings in the "Tuning" portion of the garage.

I don't know if the brakes remain stock ... They could automatically adjust braking power as power/weight changes. I really don't know, but on the few cars I've significantly upgraded I didn't notice poor brake performance relative to the power.

The braking dynamics are a big part of this game -- the screen shudders, you can get severe buckling if you brake while the car is unsettled, etc. So it seems weird to not have user adjustable brake mods ...

I found me a '74 LP400 for under $100K but she's in need of a little TLC though. After changing the oil I found out the she need the engine to be overhauled which is going to cost me $64,500! After that, I'll need to spend another $108,000 in chassis maintenance, ouch!

When all is said and done I give her a new paint job, maybe red or yellow, and she'll be as good as new.

You should have just bought the Gallardo LP560 -- I got mine 250K + an oil change and a few bolt-ons later I'm at Murcielago numbers -- 661HP. Then I got the '74 LP400 gifted after winning the Lamborghini Exclusive.

I didn't know the the LP400 was a prize car for that race. Oh well.

I didn't have the money to buy the Gallardo anyways.

After playing GT5 for a few days, I think Forza 3 is the technically superior game. It has better AI, more "Premium" cars, Brake mods, Tint, custom paint jobs and the physics seem more accurate. That said, Forza is a little too clinical and I'm having more fun racing in GT5. I think this is primarily due to GT5 allowing you to get a little sideways but keep your momentum up. In Forza once you get sideways it almost always results in understeer and loss of momentum. In this case the "Real Driving Simulator" has a little Mario Kart in it.
