Gran Turismo is a game not a forum

HAHA! Dumb friends with stupid fast cars can only make you better... That Speed 12 is such a nice beast, I can't wait until I finally win it in GT3, since it's available in those awesome funktified psychadelic chameleon colors.

WAIT a second here, I need to correct myself. The Escudo IS useful in GT3--for breaking the sound barrier. Literally. At sea level, mach 1, the speed of sound is about 761.5 mph. I reached 1103.7 mph, or about mach 1.44 in the Max Speed test before hitting the bank wall and spinning out. Of course, this was done using the wheelie trick, but it's still amazing nonetheless.

Damn that thing just flies by during the replay, but the best part about exponentially hitting 4-digit speeds is the high pitched screaming whine of the transmission, which REALLY sounds similar to turbojets.

Now what gear ratios did you use?
I got the car to take off, but it didnt exceed more than about 450kph.
It flew, but stoped acclerating much when it got airborn?

450 kph is about 280 mph, right?

I used the auto gear setting for maximum 'wide', and final drive ratio of '2.000'. This plus super-soft tires all around, minimum spring rate, minimum height, no TCS, no ASM, minimum front spoiler, maximum rear spoiler, highest stage turbo upgrade, and fresh oil. The trick is on the final bend before entering the straightaway again, keep a steady moderate speed, and then charge out of the curve, aiming for the inner wall. For a moment you approach the inside, then move outside again to ride the wall--hopefully you will only gently rub the wall and immediately begin to wheel-stand, instead of having to build up speed and waste precious straightaway space. I can barely pass 1000 mph once every 10 tries, but can easily get repeated 800 and 900s. Very fun watching the competition fly by in the "Like the Wind" race.

[quote=Racer 20]We all know about Kenji's board now lets talk about the game. No? Why not? This is the game board am I right?


You guys are so freaked out! This is fun talking about GT3 A-Spec. I mean it's great finding new tips and hints for each other. Plus it's good to show a little dignity.
