More like they should've taken GT PSP's dealership bitching to heart and had a used car lot for the manus. Would've made the career a lot faster to do and find the cars you want. Just have to grind for the prices.

Yeh, from the gran turismo world championship. Is it just me or do the B-spec prize cars seem better than the A-spec? All my A-spec wins so far minus one or two have been pretty meh.

The used dealership isn't new to the mainline GT games. GT4 had it where some extremely rare cars would only appear on one specific day and if you didn't catch then you'd have to wait for those cars to come around again.

mine was the same but he picked up. My first was at about level 6 when he was doing the first half pretty well, and at level 8 he had no trouble at all. My second driver is still a little fidgety but getting there. He's at level 6 now I think, but he was 'cooler' than the other which might affect things.
If you give them an overpowered car, you can cool them down (decrease pace) and they'll still do well from the sheer pace of the car.
Is the lounge stuff all server side? Seems like I could join the lounges of my friends but most of them aren't actually online at the moment - only just realised when I quit GT5. So you can pop into a friends lounge and do some free track time and leave messages etc?
And how do you see their photos/cars? is that in their lounge or just from their entry on the community tab bit? I've shared some of my cars as its probably a good way for people to have a look and see which one they'd like you to share with them.

I treated my level 3 like my level 12 and the idiot spun out on a straightaway 2 laps in a row

I just heard that Leslie Nielsen died.
Guess I'll play some more GT5 to cheer me up. I wish I could actually name my driver after him.

okay i asked this in the troll thread and should have asked here....
what do the car maintenance options do? oil changefs, car washes, body rigidity, do they affect how my car drives on track? some of the chassis maintenance costs and insane, like tens of thousands. whas the deal?

It's probably been talked about at some point in this thread. But what graphical settings are people using while playing GT5?
I feel as though with a couple tweaks the game could look really good, but it's just not there for me...
The main areas to adjust would be
- TV picture settings
- GT5 display settings
- PS3 display settings

I figured out that both the oil change and engine overhaul improve performance. I saw my Lotus Elise's top speed go from 157, to 159 with an oil change and then 162 with an overhaul. The oil change is certainly worth it, the engine overhaul.. meh. More powerful generally doesn't seem to be important in this game.

Car washes give you a turbo boost!

oil change definitely makes a difference, I did an engine overhaul on one car and there wasn't much(if anything) in terms of hp.... but it was on a really shitty car. Haven't tried the chassis overhaul, nothing worth spending the money on. I have a feeling my z06 will eventually get the race prep treatment, that should be interesting.

Just picked this up, is the 10 gig install worth the time?
:lol my second B-Spec driver is T.Stark Had to make him a hot driver compared to my first cool one.
He seems better than my first B spec guy already, since I tend to try to go for the early overtake + just cruise along the rest of the way.
Looks like my first driver's going to be in the sidekick role once T. Stark catches up.

Yep.
Heck yeah it is...it cuts load times by 20+sec or more.Outtrigger888 said:
But the game actively installs even after you do the initial install...so the first time you load a track it'll take a while. But the track is now installed on your PS3 and will be much faster to load the next time you visit it.

Talking of install... I told the game to do the full whack when I first loaded, but it only seemed to install about 6.5gb, isn't that supposed to be bigger? What am I missing?
Just impulse brought the 458 Italia so I thought I'd take it around Le Mans (Time Change) for its maiden drive as I was yet to drive that track, these are my impressions( Law & Order Dun Dun)
1st lap: Ok this is pretty sweet track is bumpy as hell and I'm loving it
2nd lap: Oh vanilla sky approaching, holy shit I'm getting partially blinded by the sun setting
3rd lap: FUUUUUU its pitch black and I'm doing 198mph!!!!!!!!, The fireworks are distracting me:lol
Conclusion: I LOVE THIS GAME!!!
thank you GT5

Wait, what? There are literally races that go into the 10 hour mark? WTF? (hide yo wife, hide yo kids, etc)

I just discovered that getting more dhp is not really useful if you don't get a full custom gearset. If not, you'll only get more acceleration, but not more top speed.
