Plus it gave me time to find my own financing since their rate was higher than what i expected.
Congrats man!! I know you're gonna love it. I learned how to drive stick on this car (yeah, I know) so anybody can drive it slow. It's those near fighter jet take offs at redline that you have to get used to

I think I own every S2000 in that game except the used ones. Go to the tuner area and you can get the Amuse touge monster, Amuse turbo widebody, Spoon race car, and street versions of the tuner's car's
the amuse one is the monster!

I used to be obsessed with GT3 and GT4. Only S2000s for me. If I couldn't win the race with an S2000 the race wasn't worth winning! The amuse widebody in GT4 is awesome. And if you tune the car accordingly you can drift in Gran Turismo.

yea i just got a steering wheel today, and damn, it makes the driving experience so much better!!! esp. with the S, i can feel how fast the turn-in's now more than i could before without the steering wheel. they did make the S slightly slower in the game for the straights..when i run the S in GT mode my top is always down for the 1/4 mile and i can't get the top to go up...maybe that's why it's slower than usual? if only i could somehow get the top to go up...

and the 350z is the GranTurismo version, not the 'street version', which only the computer uses sometimes. i tried but couldn't get the street version


anyways, the s2k is fun as hell in real life and video games

the wheel rocks!!!

I found its 10x easier to drift with the force feedback turned off....you can man-handle the wheel much better that way.

Sorry the physics in GT4 are crap I was soooo disapointed by this game. There is hardly any oversteer, there is NO throtle lift oversteer, and throtle on oversteer is almost non existant.

I bought an xbox just for Forza Motorsport (just as I bought ps1 and 2 just for the GT series) and never looked back. Much much better racing game.

Have you tried turning off the assists?

What do you guys mount your wheels on?

I have Forza and GT4. I actually prefer GT4.
Forza is more realistic with drifting. In GT4, you have to use the e-brake to get it to slide at all, and if you go to fast into a turn with a RWD and just gun it obviously it should slide out, but it will just go straight.
However, if you have racing tires and are not trying to drift, GT4 is very realistic and a very fun game.

I only played NFS:Underground (1st one). A huge dissapointment. S2k there drives like crap - heavy understeer, always loses traction in the corners, and is very unstable... actually one of the worst cars in the game.

No surprise it's not featured in the sequels. Probably Honda didn't let EA license the car since obviously programmers can't make a realistic computer model.

assits? first thing I do in any racing game (with exception of EA sports F1 '99-01) is turn off all the BS.

I used to use the Momo wheel when the roomate I had at the time had one. For my PC I use Act-Labs w/clutch and 6spd shifter

GT4 is the suxxors imo.
