Gran Turismo on PS2 vs. real life?

I have Forza and having damage is good and bad. Its good cause it means you have to actually try and get past instead of just stragically hitting the car in front, do that in Forza and you'll just bust your steering. But the bad things is that the AI has been programmed with the principle of racing room, so outbraking another car will often end up with them taking you out. Also often the ABS comes on when you only just touch a brake, even in the P1 class cars

Na, Burnout 3

burnout 3 is pretty real in the way you crash and stuff

Am I thinking of a different game, or can you not turn damage on as an option in Gran Turismo? I'm almost positive it was at least an option in 1, 2 and 3.

I coulda sworn there was. Maybe it was just in the "arcade mode" 1v1 part? Now I'll have to go sift through my old games at home and fire em all up just to convince myself I'm not totally out of my head.
