I like the game, love the graphics, and the car list (except for the lack of Fiero's and classic non-shelby mustangs) But WHY OH WHY does my 700 hp Cuda sound like Honda civic with a cofee-can exhaust?! thats one thing thats always bugged me about the Gran Turismo games.they never get the exhaust tones right!
Because they want all the up and coming ricers to think their Hondas sound like real race cars with their beehive exhaust...
If you want to make quick money, race the 2nd rally (Capri) in the special conditions hall. 2 races, and you win a Toyota RSC rally car worth 265,000 credits.
Use a USB thumbdrive. You can save the pics directly to it in photo mode on the PS2.
Umm i'm confused as in what you have to buy or get?? I have a USB drive in the front(1 slot that I usually use to quickly load pics onto my pc from digicam) and 2 in the back. So do I need to buy some sorta cord or something?? I'm confused, pics and a link to what stuff I need to buy would be helpful for me and others too.

A thumb drive is a media storage device that plugs into your USB port you can store data in it and retrieve from it. Plug it into your PS2 and save the pic to it,then take it to your computer and retrieve the pic from it. Then all you have to do is resize pic to forum regulations the post it like a regular picture. I got this pendrive/thumbdrive from Wal-mart for like 40 bucks. It has 256mb of storage compacity.

For the exhaust, I've found that you can keep a "true" sound if you stay the step below on the exhaust. Using sport instead of racing. Usually costs a few hp, but worth it for your ears!

So are you saying if you get semi racing exhaust on a car it sounds like a real V8? making a mental note of that one

Hate to break it to ya, but this is the pic from about 20 seconds later in the race... that yellow speck in the background would be a 1990 Corvette ZR-1

Has anyone unlocked the Sunfire GXP and the Soltice?? If so what races??
Also whoever gave the tip of going to the Special Event Races and to the 2nd one, Capri, THANK YOU. That is awesome, 27X,XXX $$$$$$ cha ching lol. Plus it's not that really hard, my GTO smokes the cars on the 2 races. Plus it puts your car to the test, and how well you can handle your car. Also on a side note that I didn't notice at first, on that race you tires don't wear. So put on or buy the best tires you can if you already don't have them.
I've got a RX-8... Do the One-make race and you'll get 2k per race, 15k for winning the series, and a nice RX-8 race car.. not sure how much its worth.
I like the muscle cars, but they handle like crap. So theres definatly no Fox body mustangs?

I've got a '70 Chevelle SS 454, put a racing suspension on it. After a some time spent tuning it handles pretty darn good. Of course they're pretty bad, stock. The game is supposed to be realistic, after all . Currently using it to clean up in the European 1,000 miles series with b-spec mode. The series only allows pre-1970 cars, the other ones in the race are all UK built with less than 150hp. Pretty one sided, but you get 150k a race plus 300k for winning the series.
I wonder how my '97 Camaro Z28 would compare with your SVT? I've got it to 490 hp/670 torque right now with supercharger, nitrous (no idea on hp with nitrous, but I get like half a sec off the qtr with it), balancing, port and polish, computer chip, and the racing exhaust/intake. I also have racing brakes, 3-plate clutch and a racing flywheel and a carbon driveshaft but they don't add hp. Working on a custom tranny and suspension. Just for numbers anyone (Standard please post yours heh) say what you get in the qtr mile (Las Vegas Dragstrip). I get 11.5 sec at 138 mph or so depending on traction and shift points.

My SVT runs a 12.79 @ 119 in road race trim (398hp/411tq). Stage 2 weight, S3 tires, cage, racing suspension, all tranny mods, sports exhaust and chip. Some R5 tires and suspension tweaking, it'll run 11.93 @ 120 off the bottle, and 11.09 @ 135 spraying.

Wait there is drag strips?????? *Runs off* lol. I need to see how fast my GTO runs, although i've tuned it to be more then just a straight runner, it can handle turns pretty well too. Now my 64 GTO I just bought......I call it.....BOAT lol.
So has anyone unlocked the Sunfire yet??

I had the Sunfire, it sucked really bad, I tuned it up a bit and entered the FF challenge and got spanked. Maybe it would've been better by the time it got fully tuned but I opted not to waste anymore money on it and go with a faster front wheel drive car. My favorite car so far is my 900+ HP Cadillac Cien (Soon as I save a little more cash and get the 3rd stage of N/A tuning and Supercharger it'll be well over 1000 hp)
