And what is car culture today? I hope you don't think painting headlights as a "tuning" feature in a game is what car culture is about today (latest addition to F4).

That bolded section is what separates the men from the boys, and GT5 from Forza4. The gimmick stuff F4 adds is for pure entertainment and nothing more. But its only attractive to the boy racer. While Kaz from PD is out racing in the 24hrs of Nurburg with a race built GTR that later they modeled and now I'm using that same GTR in GT5, what does Dan at Forza do in his spare time when not developing Forza4? Not racing and understanding car physics that's for sure.
