Official Sony Press Release:

More than 20 tracks with more than 70 variations featuring famous world circuits and real-world city locales.

The question is, do you always spew out inaccuracies? rofl.gif

Isn't that basically the kind of modification that has been in Gran Turismo since ... forever? package stage modification

I didn't realize back then we could choose that many weight reduction choices in the back including doors. I must have missed them.

You can't now either, look at the picture, It's just a visual representation of the car and nothing else. What you can upgrade is right below the car; Stage 1, 2 and 3 - That's it.

Confusing then. Because they are allowing us to reduce weight independently with a carbon fiber hood. The car break away shows the hood being separate. To me it looks like there might be more options on weight reduction than what we see in that one screenshot.

Maybe not.

Dry Carbon hoods are 2-10 pounds lighter depending on make of car. Wet Carbon usually run the same weight as OEM. If those are the typical dry carbons, they will reduce the weight. That is what I have always run on my cars as well.

Okay, relevant - Thanks.

The car picture in the screenshot is a visual representation of what is in that stage of the upgrade, it'll show seats being taken out, rollcage etc. and they did that in the old GT games as well.

So there's no need to get confused or think the game allows any insanely detailed customizability.

After further observation, it appears they are only using it for it's more rigid structure, not the weight loss :(. Oh well, so much for my hopes of fine tuning weight :)

Anyone know if the 2010 Corvette ZR1 is premium or standard?

ZR1 is premium ^

Weight reduction screenshot is a good find +!!

The screenshot only shows stage 1, if you move onto stage 2 or 3, it would probably be more indepth like the removal of seats and inclusion of rollbars (if you with with rigidity option in the corner), **** I can't wait.

I am looking online for a pre-order deal for the standard version. So far I only see Gamestop has the game for $59.99 and that includes two exclusive cars (stealth Mclaren and a Gamestop NASCAR). Anyone see any better pre-order deals...lower price or better offerings, in the U.S.?

Thanks for the premium confirmation on the ZR1. That is great news (and that is my favorite car!).

LOL...ok. Ignore Sony's and PD's official track info. Are you crying?

ok children put your willies away, we shall see who's right when the game comes out

Indeed. Is Sony right, or is AB right?

Do you know who Kaz is? Go read.

Once more...

As we were the first session and had a slight overrun, Kazunori couldn't take many questions. However, he was able to confirm that the number of unique courses available in the game is "more than 70″

Yeah, that's been there as far back as GT3, from what I can remember. It's probably been there since the first one.

AB's quote came directly from Kazunori Yamauchi, who is the creator of the Gran Turismo series (as well as CEO of PD), so I think it's a safer bet to take Kaz's word over Sony's press release.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but we are not getting 70 different track locations. It's already been confirmed otherwise. As usual, those translations never work for him, lol. I have posted the official information direct from Sony.

BTW, I know who he is (only been enjoying his games since the beginning of time).

WTF?

It says over 70 unique tracks, not 70 unique track locations.

You're talking about his translations "not working" and you can't even read a quote from GTPlanet in your standard language?

You have more spin coming out of your mouth than George W. Bush. Now you are changing your tune yet again. I recommend not replying any longer. You are not doing yourself any favors, lol!

Where the **** does that say location?

You basically have the IQ of George Bush it seems.
