Everytime I do a 1/4 Mile~

-It creates a ghost (Normal).

-Now I want to beat my current time, which means I need to beat my Ghost.

-That's not the fact. You see, I always beat the Ghost, BUT, I DID NOT BEAT MY TIME!

-Is this problem my GT3?

~_~;; I need some major explanation if this is "Normal"

This sounds quite normal ...

When you're no further than xx.xx seconds behind your ghost, the ghost is turned off - The ghost has to be, say, 1 meter in front of, or behind, you to be enabled. So it may look like you're beating your ghost, when you're not....
 
Yep, when it's too close the ghost turns off so it doesn't completely block your view.
 
That's not the issue. I've also encountered this, specifically while running 400m tests for a budget competition (the 2(0)003-credit Challenge). When watching replays of drag race runs, frequently the ghost is clearly visible behind the current run's car, yet the ghost posts a faster ET.

I can only assume that reaction time has something to do with it, but I've never really figured it out. UNless it is just a bug.
 
Yes there is a bug in the ghost on the 400m.
Either the game doesn’t update the ghost or it’s just creating a slower one.
 
400 metres is 8 feet less than a quarter mile. Call it 1/100th of a second ET.
 
IIRC, the game uses the first ghost only, unless you clear that ghost somehow, you are stuck with it.

Have a safe Labour Day Weekend.

Want a REAL ghost bug? Race a lap around a course you like in the Arcade Free Run mode. Exit the course. Now enter it again, but this time accelerate slowly for a few seconds then race the rest of the course. Exit to see the replay. You may notice that even if you shut the ghost off you can still hear the ghost engine (I can tell it's the ghost because there's a car that seems to pass the camera before your car even reaches it).
