Wow that is crazy. You can't even lower it? In GT4 it allowed you to do exterior mods on the CL....

At least they kept it realistic, so you're rocking the 4x4

Im more concerned about actual driving gameplay over menus and putting bling on my car so to me gt5 is>forza 3. You cant base graphic quality on the cl. They obviously aren't gonna waste their time detailing a car most ppl dont care about when there are 1000 other cars to model. As far as the models they spent more time on they are far better visually than forza 3.

Yea, but in reality the number of cars they actually spent time on modelling was only 20% of all the cars in the game. That in itself is disappointing. The graphics do look great on those cars, but the damn shadows and smoke look like crap.

I havent played GT5 in over a week because it bores me. FM3 on the other hand doesnt. Another thing I noticed is you dont need a steering wheel to have fun with Forza. You need one for GT5.

That's the only flaw they had for the CL in that game, and it pissed me off

Well, that and the fact that the CL on there hits over 170mph lol

I am pretty far in the game, and have some sick cars. Today I was playing, bought a car modded it (which took all of my money) and did my standard check of the used lot. Sure enough there was a 2003 CL-S in there but I was out of money!!! I did some races to come up with enough and it was gone!!! Oh well it wasnt NBP anyway.

I have not even looked for a CTS-V yet! That sucks! I just finished COD BO, so now I can devote more time to GT5.

Funny you mentioned the PT Cruiser, I just ran one two nights ago in my Tacoma and lost.

my brother has been playing the game and he finally got the 01 CLS. Ofcourse they werent gonna waste their time on making the car perfect. But it still looks pretty good.

oh and got a question for you guys. will buying a steering wheel for ps3 help out with better handling of the car? like, will steering the car be more smoother?

As Phee said! BOOST. I sure wish I had it!

^ I thought you said your Tacoma was faster than a CL-S?

This is true! But you implied that it might be in the ball park range of running a 14.1

I did not implie anything! I stated a fact! This is what I said.

"""I honestly have more fun with the Taco then I do the CLS. I have not been to the track with the Tacoma but dynolicous for the I-phone says it does 14.13. You can take that for whats its worth. I personnaly don't think it is quite that fast. But for tossing a vehicle around its a blast."""""

Don't put words in my mouth. I never implied it was that fast, and I even said I did not think its as fast as dynolicius said.

Either way, the way that pt gt pulled on me I'm sure he would have beat the cls also.

IMO the only way to play GT5 is with a steering wheel. Its much more enjoyable that way.

I disagree I have been doing just fine without a steering wheel. Only up to level 19 though, but my B-Spec driver is level 14. The Mrs. likes to tell him how to race!

I like an above poster found the CL-S on the used market and it was ABP! I was stoked! Have not really raced it competitively yet as all the races I could use it for I had already had the gold trophy. I did mod it out completely and am waiting to buy one brand new. Also, make sure you change the oil right away from the used dealership you gain HP and the oil is dirty brown. Digging the game totally! Been switching between it and COD BO so I do not get burnt out on it.

Whenever I wanted a certain car from the used lot in GT4, I would just keep buying new wheels (it would change the days), until I found a used car lot that had the car I was looking for. Maybe the same thing will work for GT5

GT5 is horrible IMHO

I hsve been playing the new need for speed and it's way way way better.

its faster, u can be a cop or a racer, and it's way more challenging.

i bought gt5 and sold it within 24hrs for 10$ less...

that game was a big disappointment.

I love some NFS: Hot Pursuit, but I agree that you can't compare it to GT5. Two totally different style of games

I'll be all over that NFS Shift 2 whenever it gets released

I went to Best Buy tonight to buy the Logitec steering wheel that was on sale for $99. From $150. They were out of stock! They could not tell me when they would get them back in. Oh well! I'll find one somewhere!

I can't justify buying a steering wheel for GT5. Anything decent thats cheaper than 50 out there?
