The better the cars look in these photo mode images, the worse they appear when they're draped in flickering shadows and creating ridiculously thick smoke with jaggedy edges.
Nice pics, but pointless, and they certainly don't work in a console versus console fight, because they're such bullshots, and don't represent the game graphics. The only thing that counts is what it looks like when we play. If I want to take pictures of cars I'll go and take pictures of real cars, i just don't get photo mode.
