I learned a long time ago, from personal experience, that it's a really bad idea to go into business with a partner if the arrangement isn't 50/50. Subaru went into business with Toyota in a deal that wasn't 50/50, with an almost identical competing product. Subaru doesn't have the necessary power/authority to make any big decisions. This is also why people keep saying that the BRZ feels like the blacksheep of the Subaru family. Subaru cannot do what they want to do with it. If the project was majority owned by Subaru, we'd already have a turbocharged model.

damn thats cool!

So what's the point of this? Why would I want to play a game when I can drive my car in real life.

Must be nice to be able to take your car to the track 7 days a week.

I'm sorry but no video game is going to give me the feeling of actually driving my car on a track.

Note to self: Next time I find a new item, post it in the General area:

I suppose you don't like porn or strip clubs then either?

I don't recall anyone ever saying that a video game simulation was better than actually being on a track. So I'm not sure what point you are trying to prove here? You said:

And the point of this is entertainment. It's a video game. The fact that you can upload your track data and race against your ghost means that, for the times when you cannot be at the track, you can still work on improving your driving technique. Or, you know, for entertainment?

It takes 2 seconds to turn on a PS3. Running a couple of laps on a video game is something that can be done in someones spare time while in the comfort of their own home. An actual track day is a time consuming process, not to mention the financial costs associated every time you go. This is an apples to oranges comparison.

So you decided to come in here and ask what the point of this is. I replied with "must be nice to be able to take your car to the track 7 days a week" and your response is that a video game cannot compare to being at a real track? lol... No one was disputing whether racing in real life on an actual race track was or was not a more enjoyable experience... and I'm done feeding a troll.

I'm gonna put a ps4 in my FR-S so I can drive my FR-S while driving my FR-S.

So here is the point of this (really, just a single point as they are really talking about more than one feature here). I can take my car on a single run on the tail of the dragon, use the GPS coordinates to actually build the virtual "track", and then virtually race on it in GT6 going as fast as i want and not get the first ticket or care if i wreck my car. As a side benefit, it takes me 5 minutes to get everything powered up and virtually driving where taking a trip to the dragon is an all day affair. Both are fun in their own right...

This is really cool stuff! Building virtual runs off of real world data it cutting edge!
:respekt:

This amazing new feature is being shown to you on the Scion FR-S, a car model exclusive to North America!

Watch as we demonstrate this feature on Willow Springs, a track in North America!

All this greatness is not yet confirmed for release in North America!

Errr okay?

Its too bad GT is weak in terms of physics and does not support higher end wheel setups.

kind of a cool gimmick though.

GT6 supposedly has more true-to-life cornering and handling physics than any of the games in the GT franchise...so perhaps its finally decent now?

No fights about video games on here please. :thanks: Eventhou I do like forza's physics a bit better, but GT get that look on the cars when it's under neutral light right.
