It handles so dang well. Favorite car in the game easily.
Does that honda come stock with stage 2 engine tuning?
I did buy the game to play it, as is. I didn't need the extras to play the game I purchased. It is not new or surprising. It is simply a principle I have issues with. That is all. I will probably give in and make the purchase just because the competition is very good here, and with integrity and respect for others and racing itself; I don't want to miss the competition. I can race my absolute hardest and respect my opponents because I know they respect my racing. I don't want to make this another issue; i.e. drawn out discussion. I have an issue with purchasing additional content when, IMO, we have enough as it is. It is not new or surprising. It has been discussed and I respect the decision of our dedicated stewards <tip of the hat>.
Now we all know, and life is good because of Him....

I totally agree. I have owned three game systems (ps1, ps2 and ps3) and three games (GT2, GT4, GT5), two wheels (DFP, G27) and PS3 headset. Lets say that has cost me $1000. Now lets say over the 8 years since I bought my first setup I have averaged 5 hours a week ( I am sure my wife will say its double that) thats 2080 hours. That puts the hourly cost at $.48 an hour. What else can I do that is so much fun and cost so little?Something to think about Coach. No I'm not disrespecting your views on Pay to Play. I used to think the same way several years ago. I just started looking at video games, whether console or computer, as entertainment value and worked from there.
I base my cost/benefit ratio on going to the movies at the theater. I figure about $4.00/hour for entertainment without any extras (popcorn, 3D, etc). Even factoring in the cost of electricity to run all the gear I use to play and environmental conditioning, GT5, and all it's add-on packs, doesn't even come close to being that expensive, after all the hours I've put in to this game, just since last December. I will admit that the purchase of the PS3, game, wheel, stand and headset, was a bit to justify at first. Fortunately, the PS3 gets a boost to its entertainment value by virtue of its media versatility. Granted, the add-on packs practically double the retail price of the game but that still amounts to less than $100.00, or 25 hours of movie watching at the theater. And yes, it is a bit easier to skew the numbers, since it's much easier to fall in to my couch than it is to drive to the theater. Still, it works for me. Your mileage may vary.
I don't know about you, but I've already got my money's worth out of the game and then some. But then, it may be because I chose to look at it this way.
Just something to think about.
I will probably switch to the wheel for the sunday races...Since 2.09 , driving with the ds3 is not enjoyable anymore.I haven't played much lately and I canceled many series for that reason.
Now I have to think about my inputs, it's not all subconsciously done like on the ds3.
I killed it in the licence tests , but I have no "finesse".... I can't feel the road yet.

I agree with you 100%. This endless debate about penalties would be a non-issue is the penalty system didn't suck so hard. It wouldn't be all that hard to improve it. All it would take is something simple like this.
Btw Nick, are you still planning to share your "normalizing" idea? Cuz I'm definitely still interested in hearing about it.
There are several fast racers using the controller. We need to get them all on wheels to slow them down for a whileYou're on a controller and you're that fast?!?! Yowza. Well done sir, well done.👍

Ok good. For whatever reason, when I bought the dlc, I got two of each of the cars, and they both had it so I got nervous. The break in at Indy with the honda is going to take easily 2 1/2 hours, ugh. Wanted to get some practice in before practice time haha.
You're on a controller and you're that fast?!?! Yowza. Well done sir, well done.👍
Real life is going to get in the way of me racing over the next few weeks so I want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.
If someone can take over for me in opening the Wed practice room (blue room) starting tonight , please let zer0 know.
Good luck to all and see you in Jan.
Any takers on a host for the BLUE ROOM tonight? Perhaps one of the "Capable Hosts" in D1, D2, or D3?
If not, I'll just host with my average (at best) connection.

Thanks Nick! I always used the D-pad... I can be just as fast with the stick, but I prefer the D-pad 👍. Now it's time to gain experience on the wheel.You're on a controller and you're that fast?!?! Yowza. Well done sir, well done.👍
There are many really fast driver(D1) using the ds3... You just have to know them.Dang nick, i thought i was the highest controller user, but obviously not great job 👍
