On the main menu screen where you choose career, arcade, map maker and such, there is a settings all the way to the right I believe. Inside that settings menu you will need to go all the way to the bottom. And I think it's the center selection, here you can have a second chance to install the 8 gigs worth of crap onto your hardrive.

Even after the I did this it still felt like the installs were slow, but I think they are going faster now.

*Unless your looking for a way to just install the entire game, I'm clueless on that.*



Nice, working on my camaro right now. Trying to keep it on the ground too.

Thanks, ill give that a try. But ive heard that you can actually install the whole game, and the installs are way faster.

those loading times are killing me..

I've really considered taking mine into trade at gamestop.. but the zombies mode is a lot of fun.. the rest of the game sucks, but for the zombies i think i might keep it.

Interesting, when you figure that out tell me.

On the main screen go under options. I forget which it's under but there's one which asks if you want to install the whole game. It takes a long time but it makes the loading quicker. It still needs to access stuff on the disk though. I read that if you put a SSD Hard Drive in your PS3 the load times get cut in half. If I could find a 128GB for a decent price I would swap out my stock 60GB in a heart beat.

Jump over to A Spec mode.....B-Spec is where you coach your driver.

How did you get 700 plus HP with the Camaro ? I'm topping out at 683. I've done all the mods that I believe can be done.

1) Break in period.. takes some time to get the full potential.
2) Change the oil.. you'd be surprised the hp boost off of that alone.

I'm at like 705 I think; it's a touch more than 700 though.

What really pisses me off is the sound... It sounds SO rice - so does my mod'd ZR1. I'm also irritated I can't tune as much as I can in FM3. It says a customizable tranny, yet it won't let you adjust the gear ratios independently. If I add a Drag Race Mode as another HUGE gripe, I'm otherwise pretty happy with the game. I must say that these three that I've pissed-on about overall sour me to the game. I'm liking FM3 more. More cars that I like, better tuning, and some other details really have me liking FM3 a touch more...

By my Understanding, you unlock the ability to change gear ratios when you reach a certan level (don't know what yet). I am in love with GT5, the driving physics are PHENOMENAL!! I hope you guys are useing a wheel, if not you really need to play GT5 with a wheel (seriously).

I keep hearing Level 40 but, of course, that could be complete BS. Ya know how things go on the internet: "A guy I know from school has a brother who heard from his dentist's toothpaste dealer that his kid's friend... blah blah blah."

I just won the Toyota FT something as a prize car...if I sell it I get $90,000. If I play the tournament again...will I win the prize car again?
