Happy Thanksgiving to you too Tony! I miss the old South Endzone days...

The one race mode I want to try is the Grand Tour; Bern Switzerland to Rome Italy!

Like you said, it looks sick!

I pick up my copy this evening.

I was about to cancel my gamefly account, but this game will probably make me keep it open. First PS3 game I will play in years.

I haven't been able to play near as much as I would like. But I did pick up an 08 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 last night with my winnings.

Having 425HP out of the gate and being able to drive the same car that George Washington used to beat the British is wicked awesome!

Wow! The panoramic vistas of the mountain courses are, in a word, stunning!

Oh...and my USB PC steering wheel, which worked in the demo, won't work for the final product. It sucks, because it'll cost money to get a steering wheel that works...but a new steering wheel will be nice.

I finally got around to buying this game last week and I'm completely loving it. Anyone race online? I finally got my PSN issues worked out too.

I forgot I own this game. I got obsessed with trying to get gold on all the license tests, got burned out, and forgot all about it. Might dust it off once my FIFA kick ends.

In addition to disliking Nascar in general, I find the Nascar event on this game impossible to beat. Any tips? I beat the first race no problem, just hung back and drafted around them at the end, but the road courses are kicking my ass, no matter how much I try to control the throttle I'm spinning my tires like mad.

Stock cars are lot harder corner with than your typical race car.

"Twice the car, half the rubber!"

I can't beat those NASCAR challenges either...maybe we should try the Game Genie.
