2. The only one of those cars thats not supposed to be faster
is the M3.

All the rest have more HP, or in the case of the GT-R, fancy whiz-bang golly gee gadgetry that is supposed to make it faster.

this was against the computer.


And I got to tell you, it is a thing of beauty, I was in teh zone. nailing corner entrances and exits, spot on braking everytime, some beautiful drafting and drag races down teh front straight ending in a braking battle at the first turn, and some beautiful driving everywhere else on teh course.

if I could show you the replay, I would.

7. Console or computer?
I've seen plenty of Windows programs you can download to do vid capture on PC, I'm sure there are Mac equivalents out there.

11. Only the old fashioned way.
Record from the TV itself or have the recording device relayed between the TV and the PS3. Either a VHS or digital recorder or via a video card that has a TV tuner card or something.

14. NO I have not
I had a C6 vette for a while a few years back though.

Congrats, I am jealous. If the game is even remotely close to real life, the car is a beast.
