Gran Turismo poll

Hi, I'm conducting a survey on GT fans. if you don't want to answer a question that's OK and your other answers will still count! Here are the questions: 1. What is your favourite car? 2. What do you think is the best car? 3. What is your favourite circuit? 4. How old are you, if you know any other GT fans you can also give their name and age. 5. How much hours do you play GT in a week? (approximately) 6. What is the best prize car? 7. What is your favourite event? 8. Which car do you think is the best value for money (35000 Cr. prize cars excluded)? 9. What modifications do you think there should be in GT2? 10. Which car are you expecting the most in GT2? Thanks, Fubu

My favorite car is the Camaro Z28.. only because I have the exact same one! HA! The best car is the vette.. modified and setup correctly, nothing can beat my driving style when I'm using the vette. I hope GT2 has more classic cars. I would like to see muscle cars in races.. 66 mustang, 67 camaro, 68 firebird, etc.. I would also like to see some visual effects from Ridge Racer 4 put into GT2. The car I am hoping the most that will be in GT2 is a Shelby Cobra 427!! I have YET to see a racing sim anywhere that modeled this car correctly (I think Test Drive did a screwy job on it).

Thanks a lot for the votes, Doug. I'll post the results when I have enough entries to draw serious conclusions. BTW: Doug, you're a crazy man, "the best car is the vette" :) Regards, Fubu >My favorite car is the Camaro Z28.. only because I have the exact same one! >HA! >The best car is the vette.. modified and setup correctly, nothing can beat (snip) >racing sim anywhere that modeled this car correctly (I think Test Drive did >a screwy job on it).

Fave car.......anything RWD fave track............the one in the 60 lap race....NOT just the E, but the whole lot. Cant say how long i play on it a week, cos i might not go on it for ages and ages, then go mad and have a oversteer session!!!!!!!!! Got a wheel!!!!! I agree with that kid with a funny name...the one who likes all the old Muscle cars.........me too, a Shelby Mustang would be good, or some really old Jap cars, i know they had the AE86, but i have a 77GT Celica(looks like a Mustang, thats why i got it..) its not really the cars, its the handeling etc. A good ST section would be cool!!!!!!!!1 Oh......im in my 20's.................

variety is the spice of life... But if I do actually buy a real Subaru Impreza Wagon, I guess that will be. 8-) Different cars suit different series. Cerbera LM for racing series, though a race-modded GTO (GTO'95MR is best) or Skyline (e.g. R32Skyline'89GT-R) can beat it. The North American race-mod ConceptCar is almost a "cheat", though a bit twitchy to to tune and control. And not available in Europe. Vipers seem good for both Normal and Tuned Series, though the over-powered GTO's and Skylines are faster on most courses in the Tuned. Grand Valley East ii old enough to remember clearly when Eddy Merckx used to race. 8-) When overdosing on holiday, it might have been as much as 60. Now I try and keep it to about 16. Cerbera LM; And the North American race-mod ConceptCar--but see above. If I have the time, the Grand Valley 300 is *definitely* my favourite event. A stock Viper. A real money-making machine. Tuning a car makes costs fairly equivalent for tuned cars. For a cheap < 10,000 starter, the Civic3dr'93si is definitely best. Access to "preferences" (controller settings, view changes, etc) from almost anywhere. Ability to transfer a replay from one replay library to another. Ability to load a timetrial replay for a ghost during practice; perhaps after lap two, the second lap could be replayed indefinitely, with start synchronized to each of your laps. But I doubt if they'll do this. 8-) Mini! Mini! Mini! Adrian.

>3. What is your favourite circuit? High Speed ring - easy to corner. I'm 20. Don't count. I must admit, I haven't played it in a while.

Here are the questions: >1. What is your favourite car? TVR Cerbera. Great handling and power-to-weight ratio. TVR Cerbera, for the reasons above. SS 11 or High Speed Ring. I'm 34. Oh, about an hour on average. I tend to go through GT binges where I play for a few hours a night for about four to five days, then the game may sit dormant for a few weeks. But I've owned GT probably longer than any PlayStation game. My inventory changes quite often, but GT has a permanent home. TVR Cerbera. I really like the Subaru Impreza prize car, too. The Viper GTS-R also is a rocketship, too. But the TVR Cerbera still reigns supreme. Detect a trend here? :) Either the Tuned race or Normal race, because they're the toughest to win. Mitsubishi FTO-R. This car handles really well when tricked out and can dominate the FF races and the Sunday and Clubman Cup races, and it costs around $20,000 new, I think. Any stock Viper is a good buy because it's the best car for the Normal race and can win many series bone-stock. Damage. Damage. Damage. It's very unrealistic to be able to slam cars against walls or rock faces without penalty. BMW's and Ferrari's! The 1960s muscle cars will be fun, too. Thanks to you, Fubu. Excellent post.

Hi! To be honest, I love Everything on Grand Turismo, its the only reason why i bought the playstation again after selling my previous set off! ( and its the only original game I have! ) shhhhh... The car that I am in love with is the Mitsubishi GTO.. its running at 800HP++ !!! (after some modifications)..!! Seriously, there is nothing that needs to change other than waiting for PSX 2 version which I hope will have Billinear Filtering to smooth out everything else.. Benedict.

Thanks for voting!!! Fubu

I want a walkthrough for Ultima underworld 1 for pc, but not by Mitch. Any ideas guys?

1. What is your favourite car? The FTO LM Edition as it is sooo perfect & drives like it's on rails but I also like the S14 LM Edition and a tuned RX-7 efini A-Spec for rear wheel fun! 2. What do you think is the best car? Without doubt it has to be the FTO LM Edition as it isn't a real car!, apparently the game designers heard that Mitsubishi were bringing out a 4WD FTO (the cars in the game are all FF) so they decided to make one up themselves AND they also put a turbo on it (normally they aren't aspirated) unfortunatley they made it too good & is streets ahead of the rest (it's virtually impossible to spin!) maybe this is why they left it out of the US/UK versions (I think). 3. What is your favourite circuit? Grand Valley & Grand Valley East II 4. How old are you, if you know any other GT fans you can also give their name and age. 34 5. How much hours do you play GT in a week? (approximately) 5 6. What is the best prize car? FTO LM Edition (Jap v US) 7. What is your favourite event? FR 8. Which car do you think is the best value for money (35000 Cr. prize cars excluded)? Second hand GTO Twin Turbo 9. What modifications do you think there should be in GT2? The biggest bugbear I have is that theres no real practice mode with the ability to quick change parts/cars without re-loading the main screen. Also a custom championship would be nice, selection of circuit/laps & also other computer cars e.g. Autumn -Ring Mini 20 laps all race tuned cars etc etc. 10. Which car are you expecting the most in GT2? Anything Lambhorgini, in particular a LPS500 Countach (sport version) and of course DAMAGE. Cheers, Col.

I cant stand bikes, they have 2 wheels, so what is wrong saying i only like things with 4 wheels?????

question that's OK and TVR Cerbera LM. Fun car to drive. TVR Cerbera LM, fun car to drive even if not the most powerful. If you meant most powerful when tuned then Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec. SS11! Fun challenge. Grand Valley also fun. their name and age. 27 around 5 (after a year of ownership; before it was about 3 hours a day) TVR Cerbera LM! 8) Sunday Cup with a Mazda Demio ;) prize cars excluded)? Nissan Pulsar GTi-R. 220bhp 4x4. Daddy to the Impreza. Damage and effects as in Colin McRae Rally. Real life tracks would be good cos then I can take real cars on to say Brands Hatch. TVR Chimaera 4.0 or 500HC. Not that bothered cos next year I'll have one anyway. Would be interesting to try a Porsche 911 Turbo (from around 1995) and Porsche 968 Club Sport. Also would be nice if they put the Impreza Turbo 2000 to show how shite the UK official Impreza is compared to the grey import! Might force Subaru to officially import WRXs!! -ShadowNinja Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Um... you're cross posting to a lot of places. You may want to notice that alt.games.video.sony-playstation is a PSX newsgroup as is uk.games.video.playstation. Then rec.autos.simulators is clearly a place to talk about simulations of cars, generally racing games. Thus of the 4 groups you posted to, only alt.games is actually suitable for your enquiry. Think before you post ***wit. M

Thanks for voting, a couple remarks: - You would like to see colour changes with the prize cars in GT2, but you already have that in GT1!!! Never drove a red Cerbera LM? No, well I did. And a purple Concept Car? - Are you sure the Ferrari F50 isn't gonna be in GT2? I heard it was going to be in it! - 37 isn't special for a GT fan!! The averege is going to be close to 30 in my poll.

Hi Michiel, aan je e-mail adres zag ik dat je een Nederlander bent. Wel, ik ben een Belg dus het zou dom zijn om het in het Engels te zeggen: Bedankt om te stemmen. Ben je niet ge?nteresseerd in mee te doen met mijn GT challenge? Het is gratis, het is maar gewoon voor de fun. Er zijn al 40 deelnemers ongeveer. Als je me iets laat weten zal ik je de eerste uitdaging sturen. Nog 1 vraagje en een opmerking: - Speel jij de Amerikaanse (NTSC) versie van GT of de Europese (PAL), dit is belangrijk omdat in de Amerikaanse versie de Conceept Car veel beter (lichter) is. - Bij vraag 3 bedoelde ik welk je favoriete BAAN is, niet welke event.

It took me an awful long time to "change" the colour of my prize Cerberas. 8-) (And the *yellow* Concept Car; I thought it would never show up!) I think Gary means he'd like to be able to pick the colour for his prize cars. In fact, a general "paint and decorating shop" might be fun. But might upset the sponsors/manufacturers. Following an idea from another thread, a car crusher might be fun for when you get really frustrated. But that would *really* upset the manufacturers. 8-) Adrian.

How about a "cut and shut" option, weld the front and back from your two favourite cars togther and wait for them to fall apart on the final lap.... ;-) Peter

Not now, I just found it!! See ya in the pits, Dean -- I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

I have no interest in bikes, bore me shitless, dont hate them, but not my cup of tea, like some people love them and hate cars, i just love cars, as long as they are RWD CJ >> On Tue, 3 Aug 1999 00:44:42 +0100, "Cool Jules" >> >I cant stand bikes, they have 2 wheels, so what is wrong saying i only like >> >things with 4 wheels????? >You obviously never learnt to ride without stabilizers!
