Buy the fully customisable transmission for it and increase the max speed in the tuning menu.

Buy the transmission upgrade and tweak the ratios in the tuning options if need be.Blu_LED said:

I just noticed that Ken Kutaragi and Kaz Hirai are producers for this game.

Yes, but as producers? Usually its under first party or head of SCE etc. Just struck me as odd.

Oh fuck. My bête noire still haunts me. The muscle car championship.
Lv 15 B spec driver, with an 800+hp maxed '62 Buick Special, and he still can't win the fucking race. He just strolled nonchalantly through the finish line at Laguna Seca at a 6th fucking place. :lol

Ah shit. Thanks for the heads-up. There goes almost 600K...that I don't have right now. :lolBobo said:Power is nothing without control...I think I used the Corvette ZR1 'Race mod' for that in B-spec.
So, I got a nice ZR1 Corvette and RM'd it, and then finished it up by purchasing any remaining upgrades in the tuning shop.
Then, I dominated the American Championship in Extreme. I still have all the other events to do in Extreme yet, but I'm so excited that I can do this one now. Grinding has finally become easy. No more BS 30,000 rewards for races. This is the big time.
If my math skills are correct...
It takes me 4 minutes flat to do 5 laps on Indy Speedway with the fully modified ZR1.
The award is 98,000 credits.
Let's say, by the time I exit that race, and re-load it again and get back to racing it's 2 minutes max.
That means... every 6 minutes I earn 98,000.
That's 980,000 per hour. HELL YEAH.
Again people, that's the American Championship - Indy Speedway race in Extreme. $$$$$
Edit: To the poster above, it's a level 23 event.
Edit 2: And I remember someone already mentioned this awesome event a few days ago, but I'm so happy right now that I finally am rolling in the cash lol.

Well, I caved in, sold a few useless stuff on my garage and scrambled enough money to get the ZR1 and the RM.
As we speak, my slave is trying his luck at Laguna Seca with the RM ZR1. So far so good, lap 3 of 9, and already in second place. He's showing some balls I didn't know he had. He just pushed some dude aside while going down the corkscrew. And he's driving it without any further tuning besides the RM.
That was a kickass recommendation, guys, Thanks.

Man, you haven't seen anything yet! lol
If I remember correctly, the car has like mid 600-ish HP stock. Then, after I RM'd it, it only went up to around 690 something. Then, after I finished it up it was 877. However, after putting around 40 miles on it tonight the engine is starting to break-in and it's up to 884 now.
The thing is a total beast, you'll enjoy it 10x more once you're able to finish upgrading it.

I didn't say it takes me 6 minutes to do the race lol
It's about 4 minutes for the race itself, and then by the time you have to exit back to the A-Spec event screen, and then re-load the entire race again, I estimated it's a total of 6 minutes for one complete "cycle" lol.

I need that Jag to beat the classic race. Is it difficult to get by a Toyota 7 or Chapparel in the Jag?

I have a JP PSN. Will DL regardless and gift to my primary PSN.Stoffinator said:
Damn I finally got my dirty hands on this game... and damn Nostalgia overload.. :lol driving on those old tracks on my PS3 in a new game.. ahhh that feels so great. Damn the first time you play this game (as a 35 year old who has played every other GT game), you just sit there and enjoy the warm feeling inside...
I know I´will develop somekind of love hate relationship with this game.. like I did with the other GT games on PS1 and PS2.. but for now, it´s all about love..
EDIT: btw.. what is the best graphics setting for a HDTV ready owner..? 720P or 1080i and do you change some of the ingame settings.. ?

For the love of god dont use 1080i :lol just stick to much superior 720p
fu3lfr3nzy said:For the love of god dont use 1080i :lol just stick to much superior 720p
changed it to 720P as standard the minute I got the game.. the XMB just looks way to big right now, but GT5 looks way better in 720P.. but I thought I read something about some ingame options..? sharpen or something like that..? does any of those make the picture look better or worse when playing on 720P..?
New big Famitsu online interview with Yamauchi has just went online:

Anyone can translate this?
Google/Babelfish/etc. will do a mess, so please make it serious. Thanx in advance.

Systranet did a better job, so besides 20 minute intro :lol I understood this:
- regular monthly updates
- new, large update scheduled for 20th December
- possible inclusion of El Capitan, Seattle and New York, probably
Nice interview, very deep regarding the series history.
Systranet is perfect for this, but you have to copy/paste the parts.

systranet keeps timing out for me . It seems like he's saying the next game (GT6) will probably be on the ps3, too, though he's not sure.
It's too bad the VW Scirocco and Ferrari Daytona didn't make it either.
Ah fuck it, I'll just wait for someone to translate this. I can't make sense of half this gibberish :lol

Does anybody even have their transmission unlocked at all here? What I mean is full customization of the transmission not just final. Gear 1-6 customization.
If so what level? If not what the fuck Kaz address this already.

It's pretty ridiculous that it's not in from the start. I hope PD patch in the Test track and the quarter mile testing. I love messing around with gear ratios and trying to get a faster time. It feels just wrong that all these are not in the game when it has been in the previous Gran Turismos.

Unless these tracks will be a part of some kind of new A/B-Spec Events, then I dont give a shit.
Sure, they're great tracks to race online with, but dont make them MP only =/
andriasang has a piece on the full interview now:
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/12/16/yamauchi_gt_kids/
Sounds like we covered most of the bases amar
Go machine translation! :lol
Not really sure what the GT kids stuff is all about, but it doesn't sound like anything most of us would be interested in anyway.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Everything in that post is pure gold.
I'm so upset that there's no huge oval test track or a 1/4 mile strip.
My tradition in GT4:
-Buy or win a new car
-Eventually modify said car to the max
-Take car on test track, it is allowed 1 max speed test. Goes on my personal car leaderboard.
-Take car on 1/4 mile track. It's allowed one run. Goes on my personal car leaderboard.
-Sit and look at car leaderboard and be like "yeah, my ____ car is the fastest one I have. Sweeeeeeeeeet."
In GT5, I use the Top Gear track for my leaderboard of fully modified race cars only. Then, I created a custom course that basically tests everything from cornering, power, and high speed. This track is only for stock cars (non-race cars) and contains a separate leaderboard for regular production cars.
It just doesn't feel right though...
