I know making up a go only to announce a car for GT5 may sound a bit "too ambitious" from my align but i did not really know where to put that news... Can't wait to drive that beast although i am not quite a fan of the TT series... Hopefully that car has a good grip. create as far as i can remember most custom tuned cars from GT4 handeled not so well at high speeds. be to break out @ 100 mph when driving corners compared to the professional sports cars (although it is an unfair comparison)... Talking of that 750 hp tuned Nissan 350Z with that yellow/orange paintjob for example quite unbalanced that car... Don't forget to check out this vid. It contains footage from GT5P (nothing fresh though) and highlights the winning cars of past SEMA shows.
