450pp Street Car Tuners Club -- Nightly 9:45-12:00 EDT

[chuyler1]

I'm waiting for more tracks as well. I've got hundreds of cars in my garage that I never use so paying money for more cars that i will drive only a few times doesn't appeal to me. I'll wait for GT6 to drive them.

 

[Nicktune]

the 86 will be cool.

the others.. fwd/awd = no care = no dlc for this guy.

...but the mini is a beast!! The mini cooper s is actually one rare FF I like to drive and its very quick!I'm not a Volks fan at all, but I will definitely try them...

K_riens // I have yet to run out of cars to run.

You are not the only one....I have over 1300 cars...I haven't drive/tuned them all yet . I still don't understand why some people complain about (there's not enough cars in the game )LOL!

 

[chuyler1]

I think we need to start doing different PP nights to get us to try some of the other cars.

375 fully tuned on Sport Hard tires
500-550 fully tuned on Sport Soft tires (street cars)
550-650 fully tuned on Racing Hard tires

I'd say we could try even lower than 375, but there just aren't enough short tracks. 300pp on most tracks is more WOT than anything else.

 

[esh]

Well as someone that uses the cockpit view, I will definitely be buying DLC. I couldn't care less about more GT-R's but I am a VW fan, however begrudgingly.

People complain because the cars in the game are not what they want.

I love the requests people make. Some folks are really specific, "Give us the 1994 Subaru SVX LSi AWD while others are just too broad, ie every car from a particular manufacturer from 1988-2003. (These are examples, not sure they've been made)

Me, personally, I think if a car has been in a previous installment, it should be in the most current game. Unless you've lost out on the license, I dont see why cars disappear, especially prominent ones.

If they asked me, I'd like to see back Venturi. I know the Atlantique and if I recall the 300 were in initial GT games, but the cars I'd love (I fall into the asking for one bizarre car because I'm special!) is the 260LM celebrating their forray into LeMans and/or the Venturi Trophy, their signature driver series (see below)

Honestly, is there a person here who finds this car anything other than beautiful?

Venturi Trophy cars. (This would have been on my wall as a kid had I been able to find one poster size!)

 

[k_riens]

1539 cars at this moment.

As for short tracks Cote d'Azur and London are two. Don't believe me ? Try running a kart around them.

As for more tracks, I wish we could get some that are already in the game but not utilized. Give us Tsukuba Short, the historic route around Monza with the oval, the Bugatti Circut at Sarthe, and the kart tracks on Spa and Fuji.

 

[chuyler1]

People complain because the cars in the game are not what they want.

Yup, exactly. I guess I have come to accept the fact that something similar is usually available. I'd like to drive a 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe but I guess the Buick GNX will provide the same amount of nostalgia.

However, I certainly hope they didn't go to great efforts to get another Mini Cooper in the game. If they were going to go through the effort of modeling something from scratch I'd rather see a unique vehicle that isn't available already like the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. That's a car that fits with the tuner crowd. It's not my first pick for what I personally would want...I just think it would add more to the game to have it available.

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

I know why they do it, but if I were King-of-the-World, or whatever, I'd make the car model an open standard. There are auto marks out there (Porsche) that want money to include their car. There are others that would, if they could, pay to model the car themselves just to have it included.

Hyundai is one of them. They place the Genesis everywhere they can to sell it. And they have the new Veloster. I think Scion would be eager to model their tC and their version of the GT-86.

I imagine GM would be eager to model their new muscle cars to try and sell them. Their main rival is the Mustang which has all the name recognition and mystic around it but really crappy performance.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mini and VW would be willing to model their own Cooper and Scirocco.

And speaking of the SVX (which I miss), Subaru has let its name slip away from performance. They do practical very very well. The only sporty thing they have is the STi WRX, which has gotten a bit bloated and is losing favor to their arch rival, the Evo. They, presumably, will be trying to get the sporty image back with their version of the GT-86. To remind people of their sporty past, I imagine they would be willing to model the SVX (and possibly XT) themselves.

I never feel that PD and Sony ever look at the big picture.

 

[chuyler1]

It's a console game...and that amount of customization would just introduce massive bugs into the system. iRacing and other online sims have the concept of community contributions and that can be hit or miss. PD owns the game and the environment so to keep players happy, everything has to be thoroughly tested.

I'd personally sacrifice all new cars and tracks from them if they improved the track creator so we could create our own tracks...but the more customization they put into it, the more chance there is for bugs.

 

[dabneyd]

Porsche actually doesn't own the rights to their own cars in video games; EA does. I know that Turn 10 (Forza Motorsport) asked EA to have Porsche in FM4 (they were in FM3), but EA said no. I'm confident there will be a Porsche game released by EA soon.

 

[leadbedr]

Anyone on tonight?

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Ahh XMas. Panic abounds, mass hysteria, the general feeling that nothing is going right...these are all things happening just a few rooms away from me right NOW! When she sleeps, I'll race.

About what time may that be sir?

 

[Surrey240SX]

hey is there a Hot hatch race tonight ?

 

[k_riens]

They never sleep this time of year.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

They never sleep this time of year.

We have a winner! I'm going to try and play tonight, but with packing, wrapping and general feeling of angst creeping over the house.....

 

[Cujo 940]

Ps the SVX in GT2 was brilliant. As were all the MADE UP TRACKS we all love. Imagine rain on Rome Night or R7. And don't get me started on my Dang Apricot Hill track. I am happy we have two volvos, but no Saab?

I agree with chuyler on the dif pp. My fav to race at is 450, but 500 sh is great too

 

[BTK]

Red rock valley

seattle circuit.

 

[cenk]

Is anybody setting up a room tonight ?

I'm in the mood of driving my new roadster TC which I tuned at 450PP. Should make a good spec race but not sure if everyone has it. Chuy I think the DLC is worth it 👍

 

[Benz-27]

You guys try the new GT-R N24 TT yet? It's pretty fun and not that hard to get a good time. Stock suspension and diff got me a 2'03.049.

 

[iridegravity]

I don't see a nightly host list to reference for friending

How does this work?
PSN ID = nutty113 if it helps
Maybe I will see you around

Send me a friend req if you haven't already. I'll probably race Monday night, but other than that, don't expect to see me online until after the new year.

 

[cenk]

Yes

my new car dealer is dead, game freezes for some reason..

can you buy me one and gift it to me ? I can gift you a car of choice from my garage..would love to give it a shot at the TT

Spec 2.02 should fix that.

Or try backing your data up and rebuilding the PS3's database. There are instructions online.

 

[cenk]

Nice Thanks Benz..

Yep, k-riens, you are reading my mind 👍

edit: ran the GT-R for about 1.5hrs, still feels weird..maybe my tune is off but I can't weightshift fast enough without upsetting the car..dealing with understeer too. Ran a 2:02.7XX but not so happy..

 

[GTP_FastM3]

I think we need to start doing different PP nights to get us to try some of the other cars.

375 fully tuned on Sport Hard tires
500-550 fully tuned on Sport Soft tires (street cars)
550-650 fully tuned on Racing Hard tires

I'd say we could try even lower than 375, but there just aren't enough short tracks. 300pp on most tracks is more WOT than anything else.

This sounds like a good idea. It's seems there's a few cars that are competitive at different PP levels. This will open up the garage a little

 

[k_riens]

375 fully tuned on Sport Hard tires
500-550 fully tuned on Sport Soft tires (street cars)
550-650 fully tuned on Racing Hard tires

I like the idea of these as well

Edit: I just looked and there's a whole bunch of stuff in my garage for 375 and 550 that can't be used at 450.
