Did you import your money from GT2/Prologue?

Brian- what are the gear changes like? Do they take ages like on Prologe?


Depends on the car mostly. Some of the really really really slow cars take a long second to change, but with most of the cars ive raced I havent noticed any lag on the shifting.

And no, I havent imported my money over from GT3. I just found a nice race that makes me a pretty penny.

Think I may have. I started driving a V8S around the other day and remember somebody wanted me to tell em if theirs was in the game, just forgot who it was exactly.

Ill go check for yours and grab a picture of it for you after I shovel the drive.

mica blue, right?

That's brill, thanks very much.
(couldn't you get a larger TV )

How does it drive compared to other cars?
Does it sound any good?
Does it sound better than the Tuscan and Griffith?

I havent had much time to drive it yet since Ive been collecting money in the GT mode, which for some reason doesnt have the V8S as an available TVR to buy. I prob just gotta win it first or something.

Its in the arcade mode, Ill go play around with it and get back to you on that.

And no, I dont think we could get a bigger tv. But a rather large blank wall would make due for the projector my dad wants to get.

Mr. Yank how do your set up your driving aids? Do you leave them on or off? Do you use a steering wheel? Have you found the brakes a little touchy? I've gotten used to it now but with GT3 I would put on almost full brakes. Now I barely tap / feather them. The car really gets squirly under braking if you are not careful.

I ran a Ruf Porsche at Laguna in arcade mode and there was no in car engine noise?! Reverse view had engine noise.

Also when you get your licenses do you move one if you just get bronze or do you work to get Gold?

Is there a way to transfer your GT3 accumulation to GT4?

Thanks
