If my real Evo handled that poorly, I'd have already sold it by now.

Also very nice photos, I didn't even know you could do that. By the way are those Volks TE37s on the Evo?

Nice pics!
what's everyones best lap times around The Ring? I got a stock EVO6TME (standard tires no mods) down to a 7:56 so far in Gran Turismo mode. In the arcade mode the Opal Astra DTM car is a must drive (6:33 so far). No driver aids on either. The EVO 6 handles way way better than the MR 
, what is that all about

I have to agree
The Brake dive was totally unexpected, but as you say if you've played GT 3 long enough suddenly going to GT 4 feels weird, Even driving familiar tracks like Laguna seca, although the turns are all the same it almost looks like a different track cause of the rendering of the scenery, just takes a little getting used to.
overall very pleased with the graphics etc.
Gran turismo series was the reason why I got a PS in the first place, then when the PS2 and the Xbox came out around the same time, I liked Sony's products so got a PS2, even though I don't use the backward capability anymore.
Favourite games are GT 3 & 4, Ace combat 4 & 5 and Metal gear solid 2 & 3

To answer the thumb drive questions, you have to go to a track that allows Photo mode as well as B-spec mode. When taking pictures you simply save them to your memory card. Editing features are great. Zoom, aspect ratios, the whole nine. After you're done with your pics, you go back to your garage and enter the photo mode. There you can edit/delete your pics as well as save them to a USB drive.
I've been loosing alot of sleep myself with this game.
Here's a tip,
Get a second memory card, load the game with your new blank card in slot 1. It will start normally and only give you $10k. Have your second card with your saved GT3 data in slot 2. Now you go to your garage and transfer your licenses and $100k from slot 2 over to slot 1's card. This way, you can have both cards with $110k cash and A & B licenses. In essence, two seperate garages from which to buy more cars from the beginning. Technically, the more memory cards you have, the more different garages you can start with. Only downside is, it knocks $100k each time from your old saved GT3 memory card. It's best to have the cheet on your GT3 card where you have over $100 mil.
This game definately rocks. I do have to agree about the MRs handling, it's definately way different than my MR. Wonder if the JDM '04 MR has the Bilsteins like the US MR? I did notice it said this is an '04 MR, pre- Vortex Gens I'm assuming.

Man! I was convinced I could live without this game for a few months. Now, I'm afraid my 900 degree GT force steering wheel is calling for this game. Guess I'll go by it! To please the wheel you know.

DaveJustDave,
Sorry we bastardized your thread... the pics do look good. I can't wait to see what all you "real" photographers come up with.
...but to keep doing it...
It's all in the weight ballast with the MR... I finally got the damn car to quit pushing so hard. 35lbs of ballast at about -35. I'm still working it out, but it is a world of difference with my setup.
Oh, after throwing a fit for wrecking out just before the finish line my first try, the second try (second time every navigating "The Ring") I got the IA license with a poor 9:17:xx. Hey, I'd never driven it before.
