I really don't know why. I think simulation racers are easily the most boring things ever.

Totally agree. I'd play F-Zero any day over GT or Forza. :P

 

You would but car nuts would not. And they really out number your kind. Its not a game to them, they dont just play it like you play the arcade type racers.

Unless you love cars you cant understancd, and seeing your responce about prefering fake ass arcade stuff to realism show that. You would really have to go into the subcuclture of car nuts to get a grip of what Gt is what it is.

 

Think about this.

The reason the EVO STI an GTR are now sold in America is GT. This game opened up new markets for car manafctueres. Thats how powerfull it is.

I would consider myself a car nut and have owned a 96 mustang GT and am currently driving a 91 Stealth TT. I also work for a network which has a website that reviews cars (www.autonet.ca) and have test driven over 20 cars in the last year alone.

I can't stand GT as its nothing like driving a real car or working on a real car. Its a videogame...and as far as racing games go...unless its completely off the wall and ubber fun, I do not touch them.

Just an opinion of a car nut...

 

Stealth, how much you pay for repairs ?

Its virtual driving, as close as you get but no shiet it will never be like actualy sitting in a car and experiencing g forces.  But the car characteristic are prettydman close to real life.

What do you test drive, not Ferraris or GTRs do yahh.

GT heavaly hit the import car fans, are you one.
