Gran Turismo

I haven't posted in a while and it's all because of Gran Turismo 3. I know the 4th one is out, but I wanted to get the 3rd one first just in case I didn't like it. I have a couple of gripes about the game, however. First, the computer AI is very dumb. They often like to pit right before the final lap. Also, the game does not put enough power restrictions on your car when entering races. When going in you have no idea if you're being overpowered or if you're just going to smoke everyone else. When you start getting race cars the game loses a lot of its challenge. I prefer the early parts of the game where the emphasis is more on actual driving than horsepower.
