    I knew I was "leaving some on the table" last night! Stephano's time spurred my competitive side :motor: so I spent some time with it this evening and managed a 1:33.630

     

    Trying to upload the video from my phone to YouTube now so I can back up my claims ;)

    First, I can't believe that's a screen shot from the game, it looks so real!! But, I hate to burst some bubbles, but that's not an '05 MCS, it's an '04 or earlier, meaning it doesn't have the Getrag tranny - sorry for nit pickin :biggrin:

     

    What makes you say that? The taillights match the 05 redesign...

     

    Front grill is from the earlier year, I'd guess. :biggrin:

    If you already have Gran Turismo 5. Lets have some fun.

     

    -Acquire a stock '05 MCS from the GT5 dealerships. The only modification that's allowed is aftermarket wheels.

     

    -Goto practice / World Circuits / Top Gear Test Track / A-Spec Free Run.

     

    -Tires = Comfort:Soft or lower / other options, within the driver options page, no restriction.

    -Move the car to starting point, "The Line" (right after the second turn, "completely stop" right in front of the starting line (exactly like te picture above),then take a deep breath and GO !!! Timer will start to count immediately after your MINI cross "the line".

     

    -Finish the lap and mark your time.

     

    Have fun !!! :biggrin:

    I remember a few years ago when I went to Dave and Busters and played a bunch of driving games. After I got in the car later, I felt like if I drove into walls it wasn't going to hurt. It took me a few minutes for real driving to feel normal again.

    Not anymore. In GT5, at level 20 and above, if you hit something it will show damage to the structure of the cars. And with new update (coming soon), it will damage machanically as well. The cars will lose there performance accordingly how much damage it will be. :top:

    Damn, might as well pick up a 46" TV just for GT5, then your setup is complete! :tongue:

     

    Seriously, how's the realism compared to actually driving?

     

    40" Sony 1080i is on sales right now, which should match perfectly for the game.

    Btw, other than the lack of G-force, it is really close to the real driving. You will enjoy it. :top:

    Yes, there is '07 R56 in there, addition to '05 R53 and the classic. :biggrin:

    Who's got one of these setups I can test-drive before plunking down the $$? And by 'setup' I mean game, PS3, and steering wheel controller.

     

    Here is my poor man set up. :tongue:

     

    From folding coffee table and IKEA chair, after some modification, it's mutated to my racing seat. :biggrin:
