Now that all that's left for me to do is some races in the Endurance Series and the FGT Championship in A-Spec I want to buy every car in the game, I thought that instead of printing the Car List from the GT5 website maybe there was a easier way, I mean I don't want to look at list of a thousand cars and check if I have one of the 50 Miatas. I was thinking something like this:

#Premiums

*Ferrari
-458 Italia
-512BB

*Mclaren
-F1
-MP4-12C

#Standard

*Nissan
-Skyline
-Skyline Spec-V

Something divided into Premiums, Standards, Make.Is there anything like this? And to everyone who's in the same boat, how are you keeping record of the cars you already have?
 
There one app call gt5 garage, it cost .99 cent but doesn't have pic or stat. It just let you add cars into your garage
 
Yeah, the GT garage needs some work... all it is now is a big bucket with a few filters like a spread sheet...
 
There's a free one called MyGT5 for iPhone. I've been using it for a month or so and for free it's brilliant! You have to click the collect option, top right, to add the car to your garage otherwise if you click a car it will just open a google page!
 
I'd like to be able to keep cars in their own "folders" in the garage - a folder for cars set up for certain tracks/series, subfolders for "favorite favorites", etc.

'Course, I'd also like to see the savable tune settings return, where you can have a setup for Daytona Superspeedway and a tune for the 'Ring or the Cote d'Azure, etc., and just switch between them without having to manually reset everything every time.

This, it's a very good website.
And if you are interested in trading, people can have a look at your garage so you don't need to type it all out.
They can also compare there cars to yours.

It's a good site, but for the power stats which are a little inaccurate.

I think they must have done an oil change on each standard but no engine overhaul, so the numbers they are coming up with are a little arbitrary and will vary according to mileage.

To test this:

1. Find a cheap car in the UCD with a lot of miles on it (pref 80k+) and a reasonable amount of power...something like a 3000GT
2. Make sure that exact model is on mygranturismo.net's list
3. Do an oil change AND an engine overhaul
4. Compare the power you have with their list

The 3000GT I tried this with came out with about 229bhp, listed as 222bhp

OK not a massive amount but makes a difference if you are testing and such. It also means to accurately test and compare cars on hot laps etc. you will often need to do an engine overhaul, which kinda sucks.
 
The listed bhp is the one the car have when you purchase it, what's wrong with that?

So PD is wrong too as you can buy a car from dealership, drive 2 meters and change oil, bhp increase vs when you purchased it 1 min ago. :)

No it's not, the BHP when you buy it varies according to mileage. That's my whole point. The only uniform amount of power is when you have done an oil change AND an engine overhaul, for standard cars at least. It appears for low mileage standards an overhaul isn't necessary though, i'm hoping to find out how many miles it takes for the power to degrade.
 
I just copied gt5's full car list and pasted it on a word document.Then i just delete the cars i already have or i am buying from that list....
 
There are a few lists already put together online. I started putting one together, but just don't have the time to maintain it, so I'm just using it as a checklist for myself.
 
*EDIT* Deleted as I thought you meant me, sw_sephiroth (I started a thread separately on the mileage/rebuild issue)

Yeah this thread appears to be a dupe.
