You know you're playing GT4 too much when...

[LancerEvo7]

So far I've resisted the urge to go 'brrrrm brrrrm' while pedalling....

I wish my friend would.

You know you've been playing GT4 too much when you can go sub 2:35 at Le Mans unchicaned.

 

[Austin343]

By cutting every corner? The best drivers in the world can't get under 2'35 cleanly, even with R5 tires, +20% power, and -10% weight.

I guess there's a slight change that you could do so without corner cutting in GT Mode if you used a Stage 4 turbo, oil change, and nitrous, but that's unlikely IMO.

 

[Hyst]

You've named all the corners on an original track.

'Hyst bend'
'Hyst corner'
'Hyst straight'
'Hyst longer straight'
etc.

It was a slightly modded 300mph setup in a Sauber with nitrous on Mulsanne, that was where I gained the most time over the ghost I had been using. I didn't cut the track unless you count the red areas in some of the corners.

All right, that's plausible. 👍 The nitrous makes the difference. The GTRP times I linked to do count the red stuff as track, so no problem there. Still, if you have proof, I'd love to see it, because that's a very fast lap by any standards. 👍

 

[LancerEvo7]

I lost the replay a while ago, unless it's on my other memory card. I'll check next time I play GT4, and try the 787B if just to hear that engine sound.

I don't drive but do a bit of bike riding, at least 60km per week, using a 12km bike route that is rather similar to the 'ring in width, corners etc. I constantly try new approaches to hitting apexes and have recently started to stagger the tyre pressure to simulate soft/hard tyre choice etc and the effect on turn in and exit speed.

So far I've resisted the urge to go 'brrrrm brrrrm' while pedalling....

That would be silly, but you should be sure to go "eyowww schreecchy schreechy screecchy wee-ommm!" when coasting banked hard around a sharp corner.

 

[leeCSL]

When you go around a corner and curse at yourself for missing the apex.

or when you go around a turn and go for the apex; at times slightly dropping your front tire off the road.

You know you're playing GT4 too much when... You make a thread like this on the GTPlanet forum.

 

[BLITZ_69]

...When you resort to tuning small imports in an attempt to win enduros dominated by muscle like GTs and Vipers. (raises hand, current project sil-eighty)

 

[CamryFan]

When you see 6.2km/10 mile on the trip meter and get all dizzy and excitable, more so if you go looking for it in car lots.

 

[Lucas]

...when you write your own story, create your own tuning garage and run it alone, and create your own photomode gallery. Just guilty of the first one, going for the second one

 

[BLITZ_69]

^^ Good luck with that one Bro, you're gunna need it. 👍


And just to update, i won the El-Capitan enduro just now with that sileighty, with I think around 450~ish HP. MOV was about 1 1/3 laps. I probably could've done better, because I didn't start really driving the pants off of it until about 15 mins. to go in the race.

 

[Lab0842]

You go to the car wash and wonder why your car isn't spinning really fast..

 

[Andy GT]

You wake up at 6am in a Saturday/Sunday just to do a 24h endurance.

When you take notes of everything you do on GT4 on your iPod Touch so you can look back when your at school!

when you get pulled over by the cops, and say ''there's no police in gran turismo 4''

 

[SportWagon]

When you get pulled over by the cops, and in your mind you hear "The Moon is beautiful, Oh Yeah!"

I just checked, I don't have the replay anymore, but I did find a 2:08.1 lap at GVS in the 68' Nissan Fairlady Convertible.

 

[MinoltaMan89]

...when you wonder why it takes so long to change the oil in your car.

 

[BLITZ_69]

...when you wonder why it takes so long to change the oil in your car.

Or you look at that strange black liquid and say, "Hey this is old oil, where's the new yellow stuff?"

 

[dennisw]

if you look in your garage and shout:''WHERE ARE ALL MY CARS!!''

 

[LancerEvo7]

You know you're playing GT4 too much when you go to Amalfi and keep looking over your shoulder for the Bread Van.

 

[dennisw]

You know you're playing GT4 too much when you are driving in your car, to your work, and you turn your head to the left and realize that you are playing granturismo

 

[Lucas]

...when you think Audi's R8 win in the 2000-2002 24 Hours of Le Mans was not worth more than 20 A-Spec points.

 

[HEMIata]

...When you resort to tuning small imports in an attempt to win enduros dominated by muscle like GTs and Vipers. (raises hand, current project sil-eighty)

been there - you get so use to what the AI's weaknesses are, and you crave competition so you put an inferior car (in comparison to) up against the AI's best to give yourself that fix for "I need better competition" and when you still beat it you don't know whether to pat yourself on the back or cry because the game has become too easy

 

[Smallhorses]

That's pretty funny!

and you say: Nurburgring 24 Hour Endurance! Duh!
