Yes **** THAT ****.

Every ******* turn that thing would fly off the road for some reason.

I had to pretty much max the ESP to stay on the road.

and the Z in the game doesn't handle like anything in real life.

I am dissapoint.

But I now fully upgraded it and its a beast

Online is pretty random ... Anyone interested in setting up a recurring fixed rules lobby. I'm Zaggeron on the PSN send me a message if you are interested. I'm usually on after 7pm central time.

It can be tough to find good people to race with. Most want to play bumper cars.

Yeah, trucks don't seem to appear very often. I eventually found a '02 Chevy Silverado SST Concept with 487HP for around 90K. Powerful truck, it ate the competition.

Adjusting that final gear ratio was the only way I could go fast enough on the LeMans track.

Anyone else think it was kind of weird that it started the credits after finishing the Professional series ... You can go directly back to your GT screen but still ...

Yeah, haha. That kind of caught me by surprise. It was like "You still have a lot more to play.. but we're going to show you the credits now". Considering I'm only around 20% done with the game, it was definitely an odd time to show the credits.

Xan · 12-02-2010, 09:24 AM

I guess they figure most people don't make it past 20% in the game.

Might be true, maybe the casual player will start playing more online or arcade after that.

In the past, you could finish a huge part of the game with a modded R34 Skyline, but in this game there are so many category races. I hate having to buy a car (a lot of times, less than desirable) and spending all that money modding it, just to win one race, and then you can't use it anymore later on (eg. Toyota Vitz)

Eric · 12-02-2010, 10:49 AM

Agreed, I hope that we don't need the Samba bus for any other races!

I'd hate to have to spend an extra 50K or so on it for a few extra ponys.

djpathfinder · 12-02-2010, 11:42 AM

You don't need to buy a SambaBus or mod it for the special Top Gear event.

Eric · 12-02-2010, 11:44 AM

Yeah, I know that. All I meant was, I just hope that I never need to purchase it and dump money into it for any other event. Some of the vehicles in the game seem pretty useless and I hope that I never need to use them.

You weren't overjoyed at receiving your shiny new premium Prius?

Is it needed for a race? If not, I'm selling it.

MC · 12-02-2010, 05:49 PM

does anyone have a car they can share online i can use for the Historic Racing Car Cup in expert?

i really screwed up last night... i had a shelby cobra i won and thought i could upgrade it to compete as it was allowed in that race ( thought it would be cheaper than buying one of these cars)

so i spent like 100K on it and it still wasnt able to keep up.... then when i sold it it didnt give me any credits... so i lost all that money and still dont have a car for that event

I was wondering myself how people are getting around this one...these are 15-20 million dollar cars you're competing against...who's got that kind of scratch at this point of the game? I bought a Shelby Mustang with the same intentions, but after realizing I couldn't put any aero additions onto it (to say nothing about power increases), I realized it was pointless.
