Nooo... It's not the serpentine belt I don't think. My uncle's '03 Mach 1 does exactly the same as the Cobra R, a nice WHIIIIIIIIIIIIII at high RPM under load.

A Dodge Ram always exist when racing in low-mid range horsepower (25-52hp?).

Spectators (if they move at all) limit their involvement while watching cars go past by moving their body left...to right...or right to left, as if they're watching a tennis match. 
If there's no car coming, they'll return their body to its default position (craning their neck left or right). Only if it's snowy out will some of them actually walk anywhere.
Also, they sometimes feel it necessary to wave their arms in the air as cars go past, as if they're doing a perverted form of the Macarena
I see. I've heard some Mustangs with 280s make a similar noise and some of them don't. IF they do make it, it's usually belt whine. Then again, we sometimes see cars in our shop when they're not very well maintained by the customer.

Something I noticed the other day whilst playing.
Normally when you change the oil in a car you drain it from underneath (which is what the guy does) but when you refill it again (which you have to do in order to drive it) that requires you to open the bonnet, and fill it from the top of the engine. Somehow the little Japanese GT Mechanic manages to do perform the entire engine oil change from laying underneath the car.
Also another thing that got me laughing.. if the car is up on a hoist.. why do you need to crawl underneath it on your back on a back roller thing..?

true...let's do everything the hard way.
Kenmei Adachi (music director's) taste in music is pretty bad. High opera followed by Van Halen? I'd hate to endure one of his mixed tapes in its entirety!

No, that's not what I meant by backwards. I know the real 911s and other RR cars act like that, its just kinda counter-intuitive to me that torque to the rear wheels causes more grip. Hence the term I used, "backwards."

Your car simply fades out after being sold.
When you hit top speed, your repeatedly slows down and speeds up again (like the previous 3).

I'm not questioning it's wickedness, I just find it amusing that internal air jacks are fitted to it (which is normally a $10k modification) on a car that costs less than $3k in the used car lot.
Gotta love that spare tyre too.
Ever noticed too how on cars like the Daimler Motor Carriage and the Ford Model T, the driver is dressed some-what like a WW1 fighter pilot.

The music for failing a license test is way cooler than the music for bronzing, silvering, or golding one.

Thats because you used to have to fight with the controls on a Model T
Must be a tough beast to handle. With all that power and all. [Sarcasm]

Not really for everybody, I don't like the song "Oh Yeah". Sounds too weird.
Now if this were "A light-hearted look at GT3" then I would agree with you.

It is impossible to drive a convertible with an open top when you are racing against two or more drivers.
You are not allowed to watch races unless you drive a car that would be eligible to compete in that race.
You don't even have to step out of the car, if you want Bob-Spec to take over. (An especially interesting concept in single-seater cars.)

OMG the Power, dont get me started on all that power
I mean they weren't the easiest to master considering todays standards of car cockpits.

Why they 🤬 up the music in the US version is beyond me,but he did a wonderful job for the Japanese version.

I had dreadlocks when GT4 came out. 
But now I realize I'm not in my 20s anymore so I cut 'em last year. I mean my 30s. 
Oh here's another one...don't think anybody brought it up yet. Old, rear-drive Volvo wagons carry several hundred pounds of sand bags.
