No, in fact, that's the hard part. Getting realistic numbers. May cost
a lot of time, research, dollars and such.
And for 200 cars, most people wouldn't be interested in getting it
totally accurate. GT3 just isn't targeted for that.

That's true though. It's all a model. The more parameters, the more
you can***up.

I've heard this roumor referred to as Gran Turismo 3 B-spec.  it's
been around (the roumor, that is) for a long time without any offical
words (afaik) though, so I doubt it.

bet you're right.

> And if a PC version exists, can an Xbox version be far behind?

seeing as the GT series is a Sony product, I kinda doubt it will ever
grace another console. :)

In fact, releasing it for the PC is a good way to make sure that LESS
people want the X-Box. :)

Nonsense. The game drives 50 times better with a force-feedback wheel.

Maybe, but that doesn't negate what he said...the game is designed to work
well with the gamepads.
