For any videogame/racing fans, Gran Turismo 4 is finally coming out this month. The amount of detail that has been put into this game is unbelievable. They've been working on this one starting in 2001.
700+ Cars
50+ Tracks
New tuning features including Nitrous Oxide, SuperChargers, Spoilers, and Rollcages.
New physics engine.
;D I am excited.

sounds like it's going to blow away the Need for Speed:Underground series.

Need for Speed Underground 2 was great, but geared towards the whole import tune scene. Not exactly realistic but fun regardless.
Turismo on the other hand, the attention to detail is nothing short of amazing. True to life engine sounds for every car, true to life driving physics for every car, and true to life specs on the tracks within 2/3rds of an inch.
Nothing says "I love you" like an 1100 hp supercharged Viper RT/10, or a Skyline R34 with stage 4 turbo.

How many models of Corvettes do they have. That's one aspect of racing games that I don't like. They usually don't show the respect for the Vette.

Chevrolet Corvette Convertible ('54)
Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray ('63)
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Race Car ('63)
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray L46 350 ('69)
Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 ('90)
Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport ('96)
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 ('00)
Chevrolet Corvette C5R Race Car ('00)
The only two they left out that I would have liked to see in the game were the L88 Vette that had 565hp at the wheels, and the new C6 that are going to have 500hp.

Don't tell my son , he knows more about cars at 12 than I ever have. He has or had every racing game ever made. Surprised he hasn't hit me for this already.

Look for Entusia and Forza in the near future.
I don't think they will touch GT-4 though.
