i remember my 458 fully modedd was only 650hp

while GTR was around 750 or something

what did i miss
Run it for a few races it will gain some hp. It should top out at about 735 or so. Bugatti went from 1125ish to 1156 or so after 10 b spec races.

It's prolly the run-in effect on cars.

My bone stock 04 STi (at that time) gained about 8-10whp after ~6,000km (mostly due to ECU learning my driving style). Thus I assume for higher hp cars the gain exponentially MIGHT be greater.


Correction to my earlier post. 458 maxed out would net 723hp not 735hp.

I turn everything off as in everything off...
without ABS.. ur car stops faster in a straight line..
i dunno just me though..
i think it has to do with the G25... just easier to modulate anything...
ya if i was on controller.. i will need some aids...

i just remember in gt5p driving the ford gt after coming out of a corner with the wheels straight i still spin out...i had no patience to slowly increase the the throttle. the g25 was on simulation mode if that makes a difference. but having aids on limits your acceleration in this game, yeah?

i always had
physics in professional
and G25 on simulation mode...
i think there is a learning curve...
but once you get it.. you defn get faster times...

and yes the Ford GT LM SpecII was defn a handful...
i never actually went full throttle on the car ever.. i think..unless i am already like 200+ and ya.. just accelerating more...

wierd I find it the opposite. if I turn everything off with the G27, I always spin out or go off course. (maybe I'm still new to the steering wheel) but with the controller everything off I am fine with it.

Anyone able to use the controls on the G25 for photo mode?

I don't want to turn on the DS3 controller everytime I want to take a snapshot.

I agree. It's a bit tricky when it comes to certain shots. I've been trying to take photos while the car is in motion as if the camera was mounted on a rig. I've seen many people take photos within GT5 like that but I have no clue how they do it. Mine turn out too blurry and no where near the same quality. Anyone know how? Care to share?

You have to understand how to adjust aperture and shutterspeed in order to get nice panning shots.

Snapping photos in GT5 is sometimes a little trickier then in reality.
