Yes, it's a 2005 release, but it says "Ford GT" only. I've seen GT40 :) It was 1,000,000 worth I think!

I'm using internal, but I've tried the cockpit too and it really rules. Plus, I play on my laptop screen, it's awesome! ^^

OK, we should create a thread for sure. Should we do it here in Offtopic section?

BTW: Do you guys race on Normal or Professional style? We need to regulate the scores by that point. ;)
BTW2: Can we sell our cars? I mean sell em, not trade em?

GM/Holden V8s are bigger cc and more powerful Ford 8s. F6 is quicker than the Ford FPV GT actually.


BTW re: I race normal, haven't tried proffesional yet, that would have to be moderated
BTW2 re: I was trying to sell this car i have, but it seems like you cannot.

Yeah we should create this in a new thread,

Hold on i got one better ;)

BTW re2: Yeah, me too, professional is just too much for now. I think that normal is more fun. :)
BTW2 re2: Ok, that sucks. :- What will we do when we fill all these slots? Shrug...

KIGO, you racing internal?

I did for a bit of the start, then to the back view, which happened to be too low to the ground and useless for Nurgburgring runs, now i use the roof cam, gives me the greatest contrast when racing, and is good for drift runs.

No Holdens lurking in the Vauxhall line-up. Sigh.

I've started using professional mode - ASM off, TCS set to six. Seems to work well enough, I might do a bit more experimenting later on.

Something I spotted when watching my replays...

Clicky 1 2

(sorry for the crap quality)

Both back wheels are floating a good one to two inches off the ground. Also, if you look at the rim diameters in the second pic, it seems the smaller one is in the back. So essentially, it looks like they got the wheels flipped around.

Ok seriously, how do they not spot something like this? :bomb

It must be going above 88mph, my friend. ;)

You know, the DeLorean Motor Company is actually re-building and re-furbishing old DMC-12s again. I think its somewhere in Texas somewhere, might be close to where TCK lives. I wouldnt mind one of those cars myself, but with an old 911 engine in it, instead of the crappy 2.9 V6 OHV Renault engine that car had.

Anyway:

Who here knows how to convert the Gran Turismo PSP replay's saved on the Memory Stick to a Quicktime or an MP4 file????? Anyone know?

Archman and i are trying to set up a record tables for Gran Turismo. Being able to upload out video replays to Youtube would be great. Anybody know how to do that?

Eeeeeee. Still perfer the old one tho. :p

Kigo, I'll try to see that option tonight. Will test the possibilities. :)

^^^^^^

That car is better than sex :D:D:D:D

Ive heard about this Toyota FT-86 car development a few years back. Ive been interested ever since. I don't think it would match the old Toyota AE-86 in lightness and opposite lock driftability, since the boxer engine would have to be in front of the front axel. Unless this car isnt a RWD and is a AWD drivetrain setup like all Subaru's since the mid 1990s.

Ive owned two Subaru's this will be my 3rd one. From this day onwards, im going to work OT and much as i can so when Christmas 2011 comes i can buy one of these cars from 0km mark brand new. I want that car now and bad dammit. Bugger it, ill chuck a couple of drifts in my Liberty now instead XD.

It's still got a Toyota badge/body, so it's a Toyota, not a Subaru ;)

You don't call a Zonda a Merc for have a AMG engine :P

Car will be RWD only. Still it's no original (I've had 2 and they where sweet).

From a few various sources, there will be a couple of variants of this car.

The RWD varient will be badged as a Toyota and the AWD varient will be badged as a Subaru. Its pretty much a Subaru. The engine comes from the base model naturally aspirated Impreza's on the market at the moment that produces 110kW and 196Nm. The FT-A6 probably would have a slightly higher output version of that same motor.

Toyota owns a large share in Subaru these days, hence why this engine for this project comes from a Subaru. Also the reason why Subaru cars have been ****ing ugly since 2000. A high output 100kW Corolla engine could of done the job tbh, since they weigh less.

Im still wondering if this engine is going to be placed front or behind the front axel. Its not going to be as opposite lock drift friendly as the old AE-86 reason being that car had a complete different engine configuration, an carburetor inline4 (1.6liter) over this Flat4 (2.0liter).

Either way. Been a few decades since a fun lightweight rear well car has been on the market since the old RS2000 and the original AE-86. Im buying this car for real when it comes out in 2011 :D Sell one of my kidney's if i have to :D

I thought that was a Supra for the first minute. It didn't click until I had a good look at the name - FT-86. "Why would they name a Supr- oh. OH GOD YES"

I've got the '86 Corolla Levin and the Suichi Shinego version (I think that's wrong), but I haven't seen the Sprinter yet. Toyotas' come up that many damn times...

The car has more Fuji Heavy Industries tech in that car than that from Toyota. Shame Perth doesnt have the car show anymore, i wouldnt mind seeing this car for real.

I'm a proud owner of a Camaro LM Racing Car from now on. :) It's a ~600HP beast!
Btw: Are Racing tires "the best"? When do we use Sports or normal ones? Drift? Rally?

Racing tires are the most grippyest of tires From R1 to R3. R3 are the best and the ones that wear out the quickest, but i dont think that is too much of an issue in GT PSP.

I don't think GTPSP has a tire wear function (every pit lane i'me come across has been blocked off) so racing tires will probably come in handy for time trials.

@ archman;
600 hp Camaro? My TVR Speed 12 has 850! :D
This car has always been the most bonkers mad car in past GT's, what with wheelspin still happening in 4th gear. And the noise coming from that huge V12... Its like the Heavy from Team Fortress 2 in automobile form:

"Look at little baby car with small engine! YOU ARE SO TINY! IS FUNNY TO ME!"

Yeah I need something new and lighter, and 650-700HP is enough. ;)

Just saw the Ferrari F1 racing car from GT5P for sale.

$8,000,000

****!

$6,000,000 short of cash.

Anyway ive been pulling some killer drifts on the Autumn Ring Mini, with the 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX rally car.

Top score ive got in one lap in that car is 10500 points, man that is a drift happy car with the ESC and TCS turnout off. Ive got $500,000 worth of dough after 50 laps of fun on that track in this car. Really loving this game atm, especially with the ability to listen to your own custom music in there.
