Check. If I put a racing-chip in my Citroen 2cv, it stalls in a standing start. In two-player, if the other car gives it a push, it takes-off (so-to-speak). You can also start it by rolling down-hill. It looks like a Peter Sellers movie. My game has a sense of humor.
I've never known that to happen, this I got to see...

Happened to me in GT3 with the St.3 turbo on the Vitz in the Pro hall Vitz race. It was pretty interesting.

In GT4, the gearbox in the Aston Martin Vanquish ACTUALLY works!

GT4 has a better sense of speed at nearly any speed or track than GT3.

But the physics suffer...GT4 has a better sense of speed at nearly any speed or track than GT3.

*B-spec Bob has superhuman endurance,being able to drive for 24 hours straight without eating,drinking,resting or going to the bathroom.
*All cars are made of plutonium thus allowing them to not even dent at 200mph+ collisions much less sustain any sort of mechanical damage.
*A spec points are useless and more for bragging rights rather than anything useful.
*You are able to buy an infinite number of otherwise rare cars in a new car dealership.
*There is no such thing as broken gearboxes or busted engines.
*You have the magic ability to accelerate time.
*Weather is perfect in the world of Gran Turismo (except in Tsukuba).
*Cars from as far into the future as 2022 are able to be driven in the year 2005.
*What's Ferrari,Lamborghini,Porsche and Bugatti?
*You are able to enter even a spaceship into the sunday cup if you want to.
*Understeer is part of the physics of the world of Gran Turismo.
*Any Race Car can be bought by your own money.

Well, it's been a little over 5 years, and I thought I'd start a thread for all of us to take a moment and share the sillier things we've learned about our game before GT5 finally gets released and the GT4 forum becomes totally empty.For instance, I shall start.
Off the top of my head, I've learned a couple things.
1). The sun never sets, weather never changes in Germany or France, even over a 24-hour period.
2). Autumn Ring is perpetually stuck in the fall season.
....
Well, the Forum is still not totally empty, Parnelli, but I can only imagine what the GT5 Forums would be like after GT6 (if there is one!
)I love the fact that Autumn Ring is perpetually stuck in Fall, but the one that's always in season for me is El Capitan. Pure fantasy.
And the fact that you can buy the four stealth cars over and over and over . . .

I was five minutes into the twenty-fourth hour at the 'Ring (A-spec) when the house main-breaker popped. The room was very dark.

*Race tracks are loading screens apart in the world of GT
*the used car dealerships hold Rare cars too
*The world is controlled by a mouse.
*You have a larger garage capacity than Jay Leno.
*We live in a small world (Evidenced by the map screen).
*Cities build permanent (apparently) race courses for no apparent reason other than to watch 6 cars race.
*Other Drivers are either Zombies or Are braindead.

It's impossible to roll your car, no matter how much you cut the last corner on Trial Mountain

I thought the song was called 'The Race' by Yello?
The Stigs real name is Bob.
No public roads have manhole covers.
The sky at Le Sarthe changes colour when your not viewing from within the car. Especially on the long camera shots down the Mulsanne Straight.
The 'TV' director always knows exactly where you are on the track.
Despite tyres losing rubber, the track never 'rubbers' in.
Crowds in the grandstands always cheer when you go past.
You can speed time by a factor of three, but engine sounds don't change in pitch.

I take that comment back; GT3 can have a good sense of speed with the 16:9 aspect ratio, and GT4 is very flawed, espicially with the erratic, drunk, dumb-arse physics but in its case had decent motion blur for a sense of speed like GT1 and GT2.
