My newest trick I learned from Gran Turismo is to take off ramps at 160 mph and use the guard rail to help me keep speed through the turns. I also sometimes use other cars to help me take turns at high speed by using them as moving bumpers.

Of course the GT4 would be only for garage use. You have to have some way to disconnect the steering shaft or at least jack up the front end so your not fighting the wheels while not moving.

On a side note. I would be funny to have a d-pad and the four sony buttons on your stock wheel.

I took a rain check because they were out and shopped around to make sure $599 was a decent price and I couldn't beat it anywhere so I came back monday and they had just got some in. I am totall blown away by it... I had my house pre-wired with a Zone two in the master bath, now I can shower in the morning or lounge in the tub while listening to the media player without having to kick my son off the PS/2 or a movie.

It is pretty awesome that it has the media player built in, looks like the same power rating and certification as the 702 I have but only single zone. I would question whether the built in media player was worth the price difference but it sure is cool. Me, I had to have silver... I have a fever, and the only cure is more silver!

I didnt see the dual zone listed on the onkyo site for that model but it is cool that it has it. Be careful of "pure audio" mode as I accidently selected it when I was setting it up and thought all of my video inputs were broken. It disables video on any chanel you set to pure audio.
