Gran Toursimo 5 Prologue - Sony Playstation 3 - Pics

71.196.223.228

I received my Gran Tourismo 5 Prologue game disc and the Logitech Driving Force GT Racing Wheel yesterday. My wife and I played it last night for a couple hours. What a blast! The graphics, physics, sound, and realism are incredible. Talk about eye candy!

If you have a Playstation 3, you gotta get this game! We were doing graphics like this back in the early 1990's on million dollar Silicon Graphics equipment mainly for military flight simulation. I was working for SGI from 1991 to 2000. For a few hundred bucks you getter even better today in the Playstation 3.

My first car, the Ford Focus ST

The Cooper S goes up against the VW GTi

Honda S2000

I believe this is a Ford. Anyone know for sure?

I bought the BMW 135i after winning races with the Ford Forcus and accumulating enough credits to pay for the BMW.

The BMW 135i parked at the Kyoto house in Japan. ;-)

Logitech Driving Force GT Racing Wheel. The steering wheel has force feedback so you can feel the effects of turning around a corner. It clamps onto a table or TV tray.

I've driving around in a Mazda, but earning money slowly. Do you recommend spending money on tweaks or just saving up for a new car?
The steering wheel looks cool but I can't justify the cost right now, so I'm just using the sixaxis controller.

  Now don't come blaming me when you can't pull yourself away from the game at 2 a.m in the morning!
  
  I recommend a LOT of driving and winning in the C class races until you save up enough to buy better cars. I saved a ton of credits then sold the Ford Focus ST which gave me my first "high-end" car, the BMW 135i.
  
  I then saved up enough to get the BMW M3 then the Corvette ZO6. It's a blast! Yeah, the Logitech steering wheel / pedal set was about $120 and a bit pricey but I have a hard time driving with the stock controller.
Ford GT40, yes. - grantv 14:27:35 05/26/08 (2)
Around 500 stallions, remake of the car from the 60's I believe.

  I thought it was a Ford but wasn't sure. Thanks.

    More correctly, it's a Ford GT.
    Inspired by the classic 60's GT40 racecar.
    Years ago Ford lost the rights to use the "GT40" name to one of the many replica makers.
