Look what you can get in the video game Gran Turismo 4. Not that many of you would play video games.

Now everyone who would never know about it gets to drive it.

I've had the game since it was released. I find myself playing it, when its raining outside and I can't drive my roadster. I think I need help.

Chuck,
I have to ask the question, can you build the BRE roadster on it? Did you get a prerelease somehow? The game has only been out for 3 days. I'd buy the game so I could drive my car except that I don't have a PS2, since I can't get my car out of the garage.

Just curious if you know how to get the roadster. I assume you have to win it in some race. I did win a pretty cool 64 Skyline. Also won a 71 240Z and a Honda S800. I feel compelled to keep driving until I win the roadster, but we all have to work, sleep and eat sometime. Not to mention go to the garage and work on the real roadster...

I have a friend who writes video games for a living. He's not into roadsters, has a F 360 Ferrari. He got me a Japanese version, that was release in Japan a few months ago. The whole game is in Japanese, so I'm not really sure what is going on. He did give my the passcodes so I can play any car. I got my American version last night but, havent played it. Will let you know if there is a code.

So how does one win the roadster in GT4? Found the Prince Skyline, but no roadster.

The roadster shows up in the Historic used car lot from time to time.
I finally got one. Egg shell yellow. Souped it up to 250 hp, all the best handling parts... It drive great! Sure wish I could take my real roadster for a spin around Laguna Seca.
