Oversteer is what I want in my GT-Four!! I get too much understeer. ... like I said, I'm tired. Meant to say understeer. I would like to mention this though - I've changed the brake balance and the camber and I've noticed a significant change in handling... I don't mind it, but like I said earlier, I've just forced myself to get used to it. I'm sure once I get off my lazy duff and start driving the Supercars, I'll probably change my mind, but this is the best car in my garage ATM. Does the GT-4 let you adjust the AYC (active-yaw-controller). It's under Drivetrain options when you go to tune the car before a race. I adjusted it on my Evo because it was understeering like hell, the default setting was 30 and I put it up to 50 and the car handled perfectly! I'd try it now but I won't be home for like another 6 hours. Nice - I might have to check that out tonight after work. -------------------- |

^ No idea. I'm still attempting to finish up Amateur league...damn you guys are far in front!
Luke, how's the wheel by the way? There's a billion people bothering me for christmas ideas, so I'm thinking of throwing a G27 into their midst and having that take care of it. I'm not sure if the H-box and clutch are gimmicky, but the pedals are of steel construction and apparently differently weighted than the Driving Force GT. Interesting stuff.

Hector - how are you getting that close for shots? Every time I try to get that close for a reflection shot - I get a "Please Back Up" message... BS!
Sadly - I have to return the game tomorrow... but I'm going to put my XBox system up on Kijiji and see if there's anyone that will want to trade me straight up. Here are some shots of the last few races I did... one race was almost entirely Toyota's... it was fun! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

If you try to get that close in photo mode during a race, it tells you to back up. And Kyle was in that last shot -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Went out and bought a PS3 and GT5 last night. So far has everything I LOVE about Gran Turismo, but in all honesty is missing a few things I liked about Forza. First off, no clutch....lame. Second, no drifting?.....lame, I rocked drifting on forza 3. Third, no rewind button....probably going to make me go crazy later on in career mode.

There is a clutch if you use a wheel with a clutch.
There is drifting. But you have to do it properly. It's not as arcadey as forza, the handling is realistic. There's even a drift mode. Yeah, no rewind. You're with the big boys now -------------------- |

Yeah, no rewind. You're with the big boys now I wouldn't say the drifting is anywhere near Forza, you don't even get points for it.
