Thought everyone knew now...
GT4 Prologue has a background stability control which can not be turned off. No, it's not the traction control that you have in the options menu, it's not in any menu, it can not be turned off.
GT4 on the other hand, has no background nannies.
BTW, the holden isn't a bad car. It has better handling than most american cars (including the new mustang, which still has a live axle, wobbly suspension, a marshmallow brake, and dead steering). Pity it still runs a pushrod v8. The Ford BA falcon is much more advanced in that department, and looks prettier too (read, the FPV cars in GT4).

The BA falcon looks generic in a "I'm trying to be an American car real bad" kind of way. And the whole mid section (doors, roofline) is carried over from the AU model, generally regarded as the ugliest car ever made according to many in Australia. There are no Holden Special vehicles in the game, which should be the historical and natural competition for the FPVs in GT4. The HSVs cream the crap out of the Fords. BTW the Monaro CV8 is better looking than any current Ford. It has nice proportions, very clean, very euroish for a V8 Aussie car. MUCH better interior than the Fords which look very cheap. Technology of the engine only matters if it doesn't go fast. That isn't the case as you can really tune those V8s up. You have smooth delivery of a lot of grunt. And they sound terrific to drive - who cares if its low-tech if it goes hard and sounds terrific?
A little off topic, sorry, but the question has been ask, and since trying after seeing the Drift videos in another thread...
It is psooibe to drift with a Dualshock2 in GT4, but it is very hard. The monent you try to counter-steer a tiny bit too much the car will snap the other way and you usually end up in a nose first trip to the Armco, well I do anyway
In GT3 I could drift like the DFP GT4 videos from the other topic just with a DS2, but trying to do it in GT4 is so hard, it's so twitchy, but it's going to be fun learning to get it just right in my favourite car (Dodge Viper).
In any of the GT games I found the best way to drift is to mis-match the tyres, that's to say put R5s (Super Slicks of old) on the front and R1s (Super Hard) on the back, that way you won't do anything BUT drift
Of course you can do the same sort of thing with downforce, but I find that more instant when it snaps, with the tyres it's all drift until you realise you are facing 90 degrees on to the racing line???

Ricer wing on commodore, Blesphamy! the origonal spoiler is Ace anyway. And the FPV GT Boss290 engine is alot better sounding the any GenIII thats sat in a holden ive ever heard (once its got some k's on board). And in the drifting department, well im not totally sure myself, but MOTOR magazine jsut loves to harp on about how easy the GT is to stear sideways, & how much it does what you tell it, doing anything from slight understeer to lurid oversteer at the drivers command.
here's some of mine

To Plopper:
I hope this helps you with your drifting with the DS2 controller.
I read some tips on this japanese gt4 drifting site (the one that has the vids of the 2 Supras, S2k, etc.). The guys who drift with the DS2 put rubber bands on their joystick, they make it so the joytick is pushed up, right against the plastic of the controller. What this does is, allow you to modulate how much steering you use a LOT easier than if you leave the jotstick in the original position. Its easier because the plastic around the joystick keeps a little bit of resistance on the joystick, and lets you have more control of the position you want to put it in.

Idiot question:
How did you do those nice decals onto the Skyline? Photoshop?

Yeah the Holden Ute(Utility version of the Commodore) is actually quite a good drifter, there's a local kid here where I live who is 15 and drifts a 351 Chevy powered Holden Ute in the local drift comps. Extremly good drifter especially for a 15 year old.

Ricer wing you say?...the wings I put on the cars serves a purpose... and thats to adjust the downforce on the rear of the car which helps alot in drifting..and also helps in acheiving the max speed of any spoiler equiped car.. so I DONT really care about how it looks
but the wierdest thing is that you can adjust the downforce to the front also
nways..I know the spoiler doesnt suit the commodore... but that car is one HELL of a drift vehicle...I feel theres nothing wrong with drifting a commodore...
check out the new Pontiac GTO drifting in the D1 competition..
its just that even though I use the same settings of the D1spec cars(slighty varied settings) on the normal cars.. its just not as easy to do power overs or weight transfers as much as the D1 cars..
oh ..and the blitz ER34 has neons in its engine bay..its just switched on during night tracks..

Drift-Kid- Check on DRT2RM's website for some great pictures. Click on 'Nissan' and then there are various pictures. Or, you could click on 'Drifting.' I think this is one of the best Photomode galleries!
