disabled the frame limiter fyi
oh ee82% at highest
gs35% at peak
ui 3% at peak

have turned off all options i know graphics wise that are known to cause slowdowns....played with the speed hacks which helped some...using d3d9

first off, GT3 is an intense game, you're going to have problems with it.
second. you need to have your OWN bios, not a downloaded one
third, only download pcsx2 from THIS site (or the buildbot site. orphis)

(if I otherwise read that wrong, I'm sorry)

ya check marks on all that....um..i'm sorry but where's the help in that comment? am i missing something? not trying to be rude but i dont get the point in your comment....

Sounds normal, since GT games are some of the most demanding in PCSX2, you need huge processing power for most of them. Give the MTVU speed hack a try (even if it is not recommended for dual cores)...other than that I guess you could only overclock your CPU
