I think you need to start again Devil Racer. Get something s/hand that you can turbo charge cheap, that should get you through the sunday cup at least, then build from there.

What a friggen rip!!! I rang the EB store I am picking mine up from tonight and asked what the trade-in value of prologue was....their reply.. "about $10". What a bloody joke, you'd think that they would have some scheme for the people who bought prologue first.

Anyway, I'm hangin out to pick it up none the less.

You can say that again... went in their today to get the game and asked them the price and they said something like $99 :togo:.


However they did match BigW's price (which i saw off here) of $78... I should have said $60 or something, because the bloke didnt even question the valididity of that price, lol. :lookedat:

Yeah the mx-5 can be turbo charged, it will just be annoying doing the sunday cup races to get a bit of cash

You should have traded it in last month before gt4 came out. I did this & got $30 trade for it.

Has anyone else noticed that the F6 and the GT are both 5 speeds??? Whats the go there? With the stripes it's got, the GT is obviously a series 2, and the F6.... well, it's always been a 6-speeder. Oh well, still a bloddy good game though. I wasn't gonna upload the 100,000 Cr so I bought a used Galant VR-4 for 9,800 cr and it does 15.4 secs stock.... pretty good... but then I go stuf it and I uploaded the cash from GT3 and bought a Rapid yellow GT with the black stripes and I lowered it too... Looks mad... :

Bought my copy today! $78 from K-mart, first thing I done was buy the Typhoon! But I was pretty disapointed with the handeling, I love listening to the turbo spooling though! Sounds good as.

Yep, the fully customisable gear box makes it a 6 speed.

I went and picked up my Pre_ordered copy from EB the other morning, the guy gave me $21.50 back and he said that was for the price match.
:P

Make sure you guys go into arcade and try the Typhoon around Seattle, with the weight turned down to 1500kg and the power turned up to 320kw.

I'd say the 6 speed manual was still under wraps when the cars were being created for the game so Ford would not have wanted to release that information, and the game was supposed to be on sale a long time before the 6 speed was even released, so that would have ruled it out too.

the game was supposed to be on sale long before the F6 as well.....
id say they only made them 5 speeds so when you start doing them up you can gain an extra gear in the gearbox...
