Unlike the older GTs, AT in GT4 is MUCH slower than MT.

you can extend the revs up in each gear in AT, just hold down the upshift button. And you can downshift by tapping the brakes... I can modulate the AT like it was an MT... But speedwise, I'm not sure if there is a difference or not

GT3 is the first one I've ever used AT in...I found it to be easier in rally races to use AT...

I didn't know you could do all that with the AT in the game (hold your gear w/ the upshift button). But isn't that just as involved as just making the shift in MT mode?

Ah, whatever. I hate AT anyway.

Clutch, who edits his posts too much...

Just to make y'all drool some more, here's a website with all the cars and pics of each. Yep. Each. Surf away!

I'd ask for rep points if there were any for this find!

Why, thank-you!

I'm so tickled that the CLK-GTR is in the game. I'm driving her to the ground.

You know... They kept complaining about how long it took to make each car in this game. It makes me wonder why they waste their time with stuff like Chevy Silverados and Infiniti FX45s. Who wants to race those? Really?

Hey! Shut up! I'm going to be racing my CL-S against the likes of the CLK-GTR!

I may finish dead last and get lapped...but, hey! It's good to see how much ownage you'd get when you race the car you'd have against a supercar.

Actually there are a few bad turns in the NRing but for the most part the transitions seem very easy. It's not like the tokyo 245 course or whatver in GT3.

I'm a bit annoyed by the exaggeration of laptimes... gold is 5:47 or something.. yeah that is an INSANE time @ Nurburgring... the fastest ever times there are in the low 6:00's - I have never heard of a car going faster than 6:00 @ the Ring... correct me if I'm wrong.

But in any case.... it will still prove a challenge.

Tell that to the people who think other games can beat GT4 in terms of realism.

Yup. Mighty impressive how Polyphony pulled this off...You will also notice that the details (i.e. spectators) and scenery are even more detailed this time round...
