Which platform or CPU are you using? I've never played GTA 1, but I remember GTA 2 was surprisingly difficult to get running smoothly on some period CPUs (e.g. consistent 40-50 FPS+).

i got the big box that came with london when it released, at the time i had a socket7 AMD K6 233mhz and a creative graphics blaster extreme with a blistering 4mb of vram, as far as i remember it ran perfectly, voodoo 3 was new that year so it should have no problems.

It's pretty much what leileilol said. As soon as you enter a car, the game seeks to another music track on the CD. It seems like less than a sec, doesn't seem like that big a deal to me.

Maybe you could try something like CDBeQuiet to slow down your optical drive to 4x or 8x speeds which should alleviate the issue somewhat. It was always an issue on PC however, even back then!
