Cones are coated with grease and will slide around harmlessly instead of bending, breaking, or damaging the car that hits them.

With grease? Heck there has to be some glue on the bottom too, how do they stay in place when a LMP car goes flying by at 200+ MPH on Sarthe II?

A Honduh Civic can out run a corvette and a nardo on high speed ring. and you have a seemingly unusable ayc(active yaw control) mod that in twelve years can be applied toonly one car but quite a few cars could use. And Finally you can buy a used car with 0 mile/kilometers and it some how has bad oil.

The only FWD Audi I noticed is A2. You may write the car name wrong.

)Oh really? I must be dreaming.

As I recently pointed out to someone else via PM...
1). Take a stock used Audi TT 1.8 (NOT the newer car with the 3.2...make sure it's the older one with the 1.8 motor).
2). Take this TT 1.8 to any track, slow it down all the way to a stop, and hold the E-brake.
3). Continue holding the E-brake. Now apply gas. Notice how the clutch engages and the engine starts struggling? This is what any front-drive car in GT would do.
...IF it were an all-wheel drive, the clutch would not engage, and you'd be able to rev all the way to the RPM limit, as long as you're still holding the E-brake with gas applied. The newer 3.2 car is AWD and its revs can be pushed all the way if you'd like. Not the 1.8
...ironically, in GT2, the Audi TT (there's only one...the 1.8) is an all-wheel drive (Quattro). It does zero to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds. In GT3 & 4, someone over at PD screwed up because starting in this game, the "Quattro" is really a non-Quattro. At best, I think I've been able to make it from zero to 60 in about 9 seconds in either GT3 or GT4, because front-drives don't accelerate from a dead stop as well as all-wheel drives.
...my theory is perhaps PD meant to include both FWD and Quattro versions of the TT 1.8 (there's both FWD and AWD versions in real-life) but somebody screwed up somewhere.
Twice. In both GT3 and GT4.

If you ask kindly you can get the streets of Tokyo or new York closed for unlimited time to drive your civic around and take photos of it for 3 credits. It must be annoying living in new York. Also, you can park your car in the middle of times square with traffic constantly without a ticket.

Get a 91 crx sirII and mod to the max and set the gear set to 15 or 16 on auto set. It should be able to get to about 205-6 mph. now go to High-speed Ring and run a family race and you will be put up against nardos, ciens, vettes, etc. and if your good enough(which isnt very good) you can win. I will post pics later.

Another screwy thing (on-topic with this thread): if you take an Audi TT 1.8t it's possible to buy and install a VTD for this car, even though it's front-drive! After installing the VTD the Audi TT 1.8 will now have much better acceleration off-the-mark because it's now a 4WD!

Yes, if you use cheats to give it more power than it can receive "naturally."
No the civic isnt a hybrid as i am using the ntsc version. this car is tuned using only mods available to the crx.

That a Cien is illegal for YOU to race, but not illegal for Joe Blow racing GTs and SLRs.

My favorite lighthearted criticism of GT4 has always been the Buick Special. Until I played the game, I was unaware that in 1962 Buick offered 4 engine combinations for the car:
The 198 OHV Fireball V6 with a 2 Barrel Carb.
The 215 OHV V8 with a 2 Barrel Carb.
The 215 OHV V8 with a 4 Barrel Carb.
The 455 DOHC V8 with EFI. Oh, and a supercharger, too.
I suppose that explains why it won Motor Trend Car of the Year in 1962!

Something to note, but those may in fact sound quite similar in real life. They all used the same engine.

The Special in the game has been customized by Ted and Sue Richardson, who are apparently rather prolific hot rod builders. They apparently replaced the original engine with the supercharged 455.

GT4 is legendary ! I want to replay the game now ! lol

I'm well aware of that.
I was referring to how PD labeled the car as a 1962 despite its level of customization, when all of the other heavily-customized aftermarket cars in the game are labeled by the date they were customized rather than the date of original manufacture (2004 Delorean S2, 2000 Sprinter Trueno S.S., 2000 R32 S-Tune, 2004 HKS Silvia, 2004 Blitz ER34 Skyline, 2004 Amuse Carbon R).

I know that this could be a potential grave-dig... But
You can buy a F1 Car for only 250,000 (-- Cr). The same price as the Ford Model T.
You can choose to not turn up to a race during a championship event and still attain 6th place and gain 0pts.. And even better, you can STILL win the championship WITHOUT even starting 1 or 2 of the races.

-It costs me $1,000 to rip the back seats and a radio from a car.
-If you sell a car, it'll never show up in a car lot.
-It seems that no matter what car is driven, you always get air off that first Nurburgring hill (makes for awesome photos though) 👍
-An untuned Acura DN-X can beat a Saleen S7. Fact.
-Even where there is no barrier, there is an invisible wall around the Grand Canyon
-There's a Esperante LM, but where's the production car?
-Drive at 240mph into a line of cones. You still can't hit them all.
-My Nardo and ZZ-II are faster than a 2J. Yeah right.
-Even though F1 teams change engines almost every race, it seems mine is indestructible.
