I heard the FF.S will have roof bars so the rich and wealthy can use that 4WD to go skying :sly:

Now seriously, everyone loves the 8C and it has the same silhouette. We are just not used to see a Ferrari "hatchback" AWD :lol:
 
Hi guys, I am away from home in sunny Scotland to be precise but I understand that the Dodge Ram is now available to buy in the dealership brand new, could someone please tell me how much it costs ? Many thanks.

So my name is judd. My gf is running a bspec indy endurance for me while I'm at work and there's an AI driver in a Judd GV5 and the driver is s. fischer....which is her name. She thinks I set it up that way but I told her I have no control over that. I think that's pretty cool, thoughts?

I have GT5 now, and am very pleased with this game. I would like to voice my opinions of a few major minuses of Gran Turismo 5 though. And I'm not sure whether or not the following can be fixed with future update, but I hope so.
Okay, first of all, GT5 does not have all the tracks from GT4, which I was dissapointed with. I enjoyed the variety of the many different tracks in GT4, even though the graphics are not as great as GT5. I know the creators of this series are going for realism here, but it is great to be able to drive on the many different tracks. They need to bring back tracks from GT4, and maybe add a few as well.
Secondly, what is the deal with not having 2P replays?! That is also a HUGE minus to this game. The previous versions had this, why not GT5? This speciffically let me down quite a bit. Again, I'm hoping that at least this can be fixed with future updates.
Finally, I'd have to say that this version needs test tracks, like in GT4. That was really handy in that version, being able to go and test a car you've just bought/tuned on tracks specifically designed for pushing your car to its best. This helped when I was trying to find just the right settings for a car to go and race in a really big event that I needed to conquer.

On those happy thoughts, I'd be glad to voice the positives of this game, of course in my opinion.
I think the graphics are mind-blowing, along with the sound. I like the different views of the car that you can choose from when driving/viewing in replay. The damage was something I was hoping for in GT5, and I'm glad that this version does have that. It is very accurate and detailed. I am very, very satisfied in with the new photo mode view. It amazed me when I found out you can walk the camera anywhere on the track to get a better picture view of something. The creators were going for realism, and I think they hit that target with deadly accuracy.
Well, these are a few of my opinions of the new revolution in the Gran Turismo series. I can't wait to see what awesome treats Gran Turismo 6 will hold. I am very confident in this particular game series, and am glad that such effort and time was put into Gran Turismo 5. Well done.

Well, in some of the vids, I saw that the Red Bull Test Track was shown which is around an airfield.

And for those would think it takes too long to fill up on gas in GT5. The Grand Am cars take up to 40 seconds to fill an entire tank. That's about how long it takes in GT5, so it's pretty accurate.

It's a pity that PD left the Test Course out of GT5, it was perfect for top speed runs.

Yes, I really miss that too :(
Back in GT3, I used that track to tune a Supra. Being able to tune gear ratios separately is something else I extremely miss as well. But I remember taking my Supra on that course millions of times, adjusting the gear ratios ever so slightly, until I found the perfect setting. I got that beast to get to like 270-275mph....

Of course, it wouldn't get grip until like 4th gear, but after that, it was a rocket! Lol. I remember doing arcade races against the highest level opponent AI cars, and just sitting at the starting line after the race started, til the other cars got like a lap ahead in a 3 lap race, and I was still able to beat them on the test course...

I really miss tuning the gear ratios. I wish there were more ways to make our cars unique in GT5. Cosmetically and under the hood, so not everyone's car is the same if upgraded fully. Separately tuning gear ratios is one step in that direction... maybe being able to have more options such as hoods, more rims, more styles of spoilers/wings, body kits, etc would be cool too.

I would like it if we could somehow do like entire engine swaps in our cars as well. For instance, my brother is going to be putting basically a mustang engine and transmission in a 84 mercury grand marquis that he owns. I wish we could have more possibilities such as that in this game...
 
Sometimes I wonder if the survey thing is real. It's a bit hard to imagine with all the members in GTP, none of us are invited. I'm really curious what questions are asked.

Or... are they in some kind of agreement not to share?

And yes, I miss the test course too. I can't believe I'm using SSR7/Sarthe for top speed tests. I've never used the Top Gear runway, but I doubt it'd be long enough. Also I remember that we would have the ability to create a Point-to-Point track in GT5 and make it just a straight stretch if we wanted to. This is of course before the Point-to-Point track feature of the course maker was taken out. Not sure where I heard about it though.
 
I was very surprised not to see some kind of long straight for top speed tests, does anyone remember the trailer and also in the vettel challenge video of the airport runway of some kind? The trailer showed the runway at sunset and it looked really cool with the lights, it could be the runway from Top Gear test track but yea, some kind of long straight/oval for top speed tests would be nice, kinda miss the Las Vegas straight from GT4
