I've been playing since the first GT, but I distinctively remember booting up GT4 for the first time, going to the UCD and buying a black Honda CRX. That thought of "Here we go again." was pleasing.
 
One thing I remember from GT2 was buying or winning the HKS drag car thinking it would be amazing with all that power not knowing what a drag car was. I remember being baffled why it wouldn't turn and keep up with other cars.
 
My enduring memory is

Gran Turismo 1,
Friday nights in late 1998.

Mitsubishi GTO '92 twin turbo.
Race modifications and 931BHP.

Total domination and awesome fun around the original High Speed Ring.

Sliding the Vanquish around the Complex String in GT3 comes a close second.
 
I remember the excitement of playing the original GT for the very first time when it first came. I was blown away by how realistic it looked at the time. Then I remember playing every game since that moment obsessively and waiting forever for GT4 and GT5 and never being disappointed. Even if GT5 was lacking in features I still really enjoyed it
 
One of my favorite memories from GT 4 was winning the American Championship race with the Shelby Series 1 for 200 A-Spec points with the 2J in the line up. What a race :)
