17.4% complete
win ratio: 128 / 152= 84.2%
135 trophies
cars owned: 36
days the game says i've completed: 289 days.
total credits so far: $1,167,000 (which i keep draining to mod cars hehe)
A spec points: 547
B spec points: 362

granted i would be more done, but the past few days i've gotten really into the "Photo" part the the game where you bring your favorite cars to these great lo-cals and take pictures of them. It may sound silly, but it's very challenging to get really good shots.

-rich
what does the a-spec and b-spec points do? ive accumulated 2956 a spec points and 4595 b spec.

I did some searching, and best I can tell is that the points are just for bragging. www.gtplanet.net has a thing where they show how the points are calculated, based on the weight and power/weight ratio of your car vs. the other cars in the race.

So...I finally bit the bullet and ordered a logitech steering wheel from Ebay. A bit expensive, but hopefully will be a lot more precise and realistic than trying to mash buttons on a ps2 controller...especially on all the corners where it would be better to feather the brake and/or throttle.

anyone have any "favorite" cars that they have acquired? this is BESIDES subarus, of course. LOL.
- Honda CRX Si (red, like the one that got me through high school and college)
- 1963 Corvette Z06 (600 hp beast! win it in the corvette race)
- 1989 Skyline GT-R R32 (a sweetheart)

As for the obligatory Subaru, I couldn't pass on the bugeye WRX wagon...blue, of course

like bushido, i have been playing with the photo mode. albeit only last nite. haha. i have confirmed my lexmark flash drive works for saving the pix. Also, my Epson RX500 all in one photo printer also is supported in the direct printing part. what sux is, to direct print, i haveta save the picture to the memory card cause it wont read anything off the usb drive after saving it there.. at least i couldnt figure out how to do that.

Anyone using the Driving Force wheel with GT4? Not the pro. How is it? I left mine at my old place. I have to go get it. I guess it's better than using the dual shock.

That would explain why i don't get many points on many of my races. It's not my fault i come to the races with the best car possible. I mostly get between 1-8 points per race. but who really cares. It's not going to stop me from bringing my AC "cobra" to the Classic car races and destroying everyone.

My best time at Capri rally two laps with the STi is 3:44 I Challenge some one to beat it! I'm not trying to say I'm the best. I just want to see if any I-Cubers can do better.

I matched your score my first try with 2 penalties and a spinout, and on my second try I got a 3:35, and i could make a much cleaner run...I'll keep going for a bit and i'll post my fastest.
