Just noticed that in GT3 on the playstation 2 you can buy a Vx220, lighten it, tune it to 350 bhp, and then fit dirt tyres and go rallying! Fantastic fun, although raising the ride height might stop everything shaking so much :lol: Beat the works scooby on hard mode first time out... Bring on the Vx rally car :blink:

I can get better lap times in a tarted up VX than I can in a Motorsport Elise or a 500bhp Impreza (on the tarmac). The handling is sweeet! Tyres last about two laps though with all the power sliding. Sorry, back to the real world....

fun things to do with GT3: fly 4500 miles to daytona beach florida to spend a day i-link racing (6 PS2s, 6TVs all linked) with some of the fastest racers in the SE of the USA.

i'm serious. 12 of us from www.granturismobynumbers.com met up at the begining of march this year.

i even took a couple of wins - most pround of my tuscan6 race at deep forestII and coming back from a nudged out into a spin in the astra coupes to come 2nd from 6th at grand valley II

here is the link to the party if you're interested to take a look.

we had a blast.

as a side note - if you select say german in a new game you get to drive the speedster instead of the vx :D

i love my granturismo racing. won a couple of medals in a series run from the numbers.

2001 overal GTRC team champions (5 classes. 2 racers per team, per class). i ran in the GT class in the corvette Z06 and the C5R

2002 GTRC LM champions in the Nissan R390LM.

i have some beautiful replays which would make you clinch your butt cheeks! :D

Yes, I always race in "my" Speedster. But still not worked out how to debadge it. ;)

Used to enjoy the feature on some earlier games where you could "paint" the car virtually as you wanted it. "Top Gear Rally" on Nintendo 64 was one IIRC, but not played that for years. Would be good if I could paste in my own badges. :D

Always reassuring to know that there are others out there who are "worse" than yourself. :lol: :lol: :lol:
