Hey everyone! I'm the maker of this video, glad to see it's sparked a little discussion here
Just for the record, I've been lurking since late 2009, but never felt like creating an account to discuss on the forums... but I guess I'm here now!
I read a comment about this particular stretch of road being downhill... I had no idea! If you'd be so kind as to refer me to a nice, level, straight piece of road in Gran Turismo 5, I'd be more than happy to post up a new video to compare acceleration times!
And for the record, I don't have a steering wheel setup; just using my good ol' PS3 controller!
Thanks guys, and I'm glad to finally become a member of this community.
