I bought a refurbished slim PS3 today .......my "phatty" gave me the RLOD last night.......spending the day redownloading everything .........

I was wondering if you can save game data or is it based on which system it's on?

It's tied to your profile.
 
A mk4 Golf R32 and a mk5 Golf GTI to compare around Nordschleife. Put both on sport hards and let the shoot out begin. No tuning, no oil changes, no SRF. Quite similar results which was surprising with FWD and 40 less horses in the newer car. Will try a mk6 R tonight.

By "interesting" I wonder if you mean the same as I experienced with that car... Lots of understeer entering corners, followed by snappy spinning as soon as you try to throttle for the exit? It's like the light front end doesn't want to turn in, then doesn't provide any yaw inertia to resist the rotation at the rear (kind of like how sometimes when the rear gets loose on power, initially countersteering makes it worse)... Definitely had buyer's remorse on that one.

Pretty much exactly that. I've been trying to master it, but in the end I always give up after spinning about 28 times. Kinda wish I'd purchased the R18 instead really.

Anyways, today I bought a McLaren MP4-12C, Ford Ka (purely for the yellow paint chip to go on the 12C) and a RUF CTR Yellowbird. Oh, and a BMW 135i Coupe. Which I tried to get as close to the real performance figures of the 1M. Drives pretty well like.

Nice car. Shame it was wet at Brands.

Guess that means something along the lines of I forgot the exact name of the car. It was a Honda and it was a GT500 class wasn't the NSX.

Still a good car. Nice engine note.

Bought a Tommykaira ZZ-II...

Painted that Botanical Green
Plonked on some Rays Orange alloys.
- Then got half a million and change at Willow Springs - Will just manage a none stop on Sporty Softies... and will just have enough go-go juice in the tank to undertake this epic 20 mile journey.

It's the HSV-010.
 
HSV-010.

It deserves a much more emotive name.

"Sokudo"

The project designer said, “The vehicle’s image is derived from predatory birds in nature, which we hope that people will associate power and strength with the machine. But even with its beauty, since this is a racing machine, it won’t mean anything unless it is fast. We intend to keep evolving this machine further so that victory will be the ‘game’ that our ‘bird’ captures.”

“During development, we were able to improve engine output by modifying the exhaust pipe layout, but we decided to drop this idea because the sound got worse. We were that persistent about getting that sensual sound!”

I'll call my car... Honda Sokudo.

(Knowing me, I'll forget and call it a Soduko instead. Quite a puzzle.)
 
Honda S500 '63. Not sure why it costs more than the higher PP'd S600 '64 and S800 '66 though.
 
Got myself a '11 Elise, bought it in Motorsport Green (I think that's the color name) and put some yellow OZ Ultraleggera wheels on it, a wing, and a hard top. It needs a bit more power, but it at least looks damn good.

Here are some cars i brought yesterday:

Lfa Nurburgring package 12
INTEGRA TYPE R (DC5) 04
Civic SIR (EG) 92

A couple weeks ago I purchased the '95, '98 and the '99 Interga Type Rs. Aren't they what is known as 'Legacy cars' in GT? If so, they look kinda bad and desperately need updated. Incidentally I used to have a '93 (in real life), but it was nothing like the Integras in the game. I think it had around 115 HP and that was it. It was more like the '88 Accord which is uber-slow.

Meanwhile, I purchased the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 '09 on a whim today.
 
I bought a Miata, FC suspension, FC Mech LSD, and Comfort Hard tires. I ran about 50 laps at Streets of Willow. With no aids and brake bias at 4/0, the gains just kept on comin'
 
Bought a McLaren MP4 to replicate the GT3 version and also bought a '99 Integra and '87 Buick Grand National to tune. Haven't figured out how I like to drive my FF's yet.
 
Just bought the 2013 Pagani Huayra in that gold color. I was disappointed that the color isn't one you can apply to cars. So I'm going ahead and give it that John touch- coloring it blue (I used Europablau from the Opel Speedster). I even threw on some SSR Performance wheels. I even bought some aero parts to make it a bit more like my own race-spec Huayra. If I could get this car for free for completing some races, I'm sorry. But like I said in a previous post... I don't really care what cars I get for free through game progress. I'm just buying whatever.

Actually, I screwed up because I initially wanted to get the Aston Martin One-77. Ended up getting the 2013 Huayra instead.
 
I bought a Ferrari Enzo, tuned it, bought aero parts, custom wheels, and then painted it Nero Nemesis after my log in bonus......switched over to Skyrim and then used the void salts I had found to "temper" my Nightingale armor and 2 ebony ingots to upgrade my Nightingale blade and bow....off to finish the Dark Brotherhood story line....
 
Audi R8 4.2

Nice and delicate car. You need to balance the car in turns - that isn't that hard, but if you push too much - the car over rotates - so you need to employ "Driver skills" - which is great after a few cars that had a pinch of understeer as standard. If you are a bit shakey then you will make a mistake and look like a proper rook.

Very happy with the car - and hats off to Audi, their idea of a British Racing Green kind of Green isn't that bad.
 
Ok, so many of us think there are too many GT-R's in the game… I think there are too many Mitsubishi's also, but that's another conversation. However, just bought the GTR R-35 Touring Car, on the last page of the Nissan dealership and it's an absolute honey.

I have both the GT-R '12 Academy Car and the '13 Schulze Motorsport' one and they're pigs stock compared with this. Drive the S License Mission Nurburgring GT-R race and the turbo lag in lower gears is horrendous with either of the latter, as well as the twitchiness and tendency towards front end lift. Still haven't won that one after 3 attempts and I'm at 95%.

But the R-35 Touring Car suffers from none of those things and is very good value at Cr.357,500 as it has almost all the bits on it out of box, bar a higher range turbo and the most sophisticated diff. Another great find for out-of-the-dealership fun and racing lap practise, as it's such a neutrally balanced car. Certainly glad I bought it.
 
Since when did we go from Gran Turismo 6 to Skyrim? Strange...

Anyhow, I bought that Base Model Nissan GT-R GT3 car just for that One Make Race in the IA races. I almost wanted to get the R-35 Touring Car just for that One Make Race. Once I finally do the event, I'll see if I made the right decision or not.
 
The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C6) ’06. Holy cow thing is good. I have a light 567 P.P tune on it and fairly stiff suspension settings to cope with the weight and it is just a dream to drive. I put in three laps around the Nordschleife and, as I left for work some thirty minutes later, still had a huge smile on my face. When taking flight at Flugplatz, the thing is absolutely flat and lands like a cat ...it is ridiculous! With 569 BHP and 1,293kg of weight, I have not gone overboard and have left it very driveable. Great car and for me PD hit a home run with this one ...whether or not it is an accurate representation of the real car. I really could not care about that ...it is a game and I play it at the PD level ...
 
Cadillac CTS-V

Got a good paint chip... erm... It's very heavy... Did I mention the paint chip.
 
Ferrari FXX '07

My god!! With the right tune this car is AMAZING!! :drool:
Still trying to tune it right, but i think i got a good it good tbh. Just needs a little tiny touch :)
Bought the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS'03, nice car to drive around track. It has some understeer, but put it some sport medium tires and it handles alot better.
Oh and the Bentley Speed 8 '03, such a nice racer :cheers:
