Does anyone else here use the B-spec races to just make easy money when they're not near the PS3? lol. I'm about to jump in the shower, but I'll be getting credits while I'm in there. Lol
If your B Spec is still at Level 0, save yourself the aggravation. They can't drive for **** and need to be supervised during the race, unlike GT3. Plus they follow the same stupid levels as A Spec so the initial races only make 4 grand or so.

I tried it up to Level 6 and skipped it. The moron still can't handle a mildly modded miata without totally spinning out even at a slow pace.

Just won a Veyron a little while ago

cornfed gtr and m3
I gave my son the controller last night and told him to do work, win us some money. I guess he decided he would reather spend money then win it because he dropped all our coin on 3 crappy-azz cars. Now I am broke again and still rolling my dusty mid 90's Syline Gt-r.

I went out and bought a PS3 yesterday (I've been in the XBOX360 camp forever).

Two main reasons: this game and the fact that the machine is also a 3D BluRay player.

To keep the house balanced...I bought my girlfriend a treadmill with a tv built into it.

Little does she know that she will only be able to watch me play GT5 on the tv on the treadmill.

What about just buying a fixed seat and making your own?

The seat in that Evolution product gets some shoddy reviews.

A decent fixed seat can be snagged for around $150.

The problem is with this game is you are stuck racing cars that just about suck. I place first in all the races as I sure we all do, but damn it just take a long time to get a car thats good.

I race... I win... I get a crappy car

I've got my eyes on the 190E EVOII in the used car section. I hope it doesn't suck.

Once I get some cars worth racing I'll come play.

Gifted you the 190E Evo.. Enjoy! It was just sitting in my garage. Never used it. Did an oil change, and engine rebuild..

thank You! I was playing a a little bit tonight, then the car came in. My eyes almost popped out of my head. My brother had a 190E sitting in his real garage at home. We want to make that a race car.

Add me...

got a few nice whips... new lambo lp640 murc' c63 all motor fully built, and a nice GTI thats dumped! i love how the cars look when you add a negative camber on them!

One thing that does dissappoint is the modding aspect. I think forza kinda rapes gt5 there. and forza has the new e63 and sl65black.
