Here's my first car in GT4. I didn't import extra cash from GT3, so I'm working at a self-imposed handicap. I bought this "used" '89 miata for a little over $5K. I wasn't able to take gold in the first race I ran, but with a racing chip and lightweight level 1, I took gold in the second race.

The game is a lot more demanding, especially when it comes to not bumping into other vehicles. That was a valid strategy in GT3, but it just doesn't work anymore. Add in "rolling starts", where you can't win based on acceleration alone, and things get simply hairy.
