The one that wasn't the race car... The normal Merceded AMG 190... When I got to the racecar one I did that in about 20 minutes (about 3 off's)... The first one was nothing but off's for 2 hours straight!!! Drove me insane!! Everytime I would get almost to the end (6:00+ minutes) I would get careless and go "Farming"... When I would try to slow down, I wouldn't qualify ... Like I said though, I finally got it down and got the silver....

I heard somewhere that there was a way to play GT4 over the net by tricking it into thinking that it was one large LAN game... anyone know if it is true???

I'm doing pretty good now. I have finished almost all the rally races, just have the hard ones as I don't have my IA license yet. beginner league is done, half-way throught professional. $1 million in cash and 10 cars in the garage. So far so good.

I am seriously tearing it up with my impreza touring car. Pushing 663 HP and this car is awesome around the corners!!

That's what I have. Is your's dark red with the number 87 on it? Wasn't sure if that was random or if they all are dark red.

Mine is actually white with a ricey wing on it...has the name gran turismo written all over it with a subaru windshield decal.

I've got it in Silver, Black, White, and Orange, same as in GT3. Are you sure your dark red one isn't the orange one? I've never seen the dark red one. I've got photos of my orange one in the GT4 photos thread. I think they're all #87, though.

Hey man, just wondering if you use the traction control and ASM programs at all... I turn all mine off (I believe that if you can't drive a car in it's "raw" form then ya shouldn't be driving it) but the thing plows and just seems to not handle the way I like... Any suggestions on setting the suspension up?

[n00b on demand]

I lowered the car to the max....ride height shock rebound everything. I didnt touch the traction control or brake setting or anything..i dont like it when the cars cant handle. IN GT3 i had a 911 and it was really fast with 1093 HP but the thing would crash into every wall going around corners. The impreza touring car is very nice to control.

So they give you a different color everytime you win the stars of pleiadas championship? ....BTW when you find out what Subaru really stands for dont you all feel so proud and have an enormous amount of pride

Yep, color is completely random on that one, as with most of the others. I only have all four because I wanted my orange one back.

As for being proud of it's meaning, I guess so. Which meaning are you talking about though, the Pleiades, or the resurrection of FHI? Doesn't really matter I guess, since they're pretty much intertwined. I'm more proud of the SVX's meaning in relation to the Pleiades.

As per my earlier post, I have won stars of pleiades 3 times total. If you win all the races you end up with 125,000 credits and an Impreza Super Touring Car. I have 3 of them, the dark red #87, the white #77, and a silver #57. No orange yet. I'd like a yellow one like I had in GT3. I started over without the 110,000 and a & b licenses. I have a, b, ib, and ia and am up to 12.3%. Having fun so far. Got the noremburg 1a on the 3rd try. Can't wait to try s license.
