That one I got pretty quick. Wait until you have to do it with an Elise in the next challenge...

Online is pretty random ... Anyone interested in setting up a recurring fixed rules lobby. I'm Zaggeron on the PSN send me a message if you are interested. I'm usually on after 7pm central time.

i got silver on that then bronze on that tank thing

ive completed every special event up to level 20

to me the hardest special event was the first race in the grand tour... i could barely get bronze in that one.. got gold or silver on the rest....

It can be tough to find good people to race with. Most want to play bumper cars.

^^ This. I owned in the Monza race, but that race at sunset with the Murcielago made me want to curb stomp a baby. Scored a lot of money and I was finally able to afford the LF-A.

the fvck! trucks must be rare as fvck!!! who has a truck they are willing to trade?

Eric · 12-01-2010, 06:21 AM

Yeah, trucks don't seem to appear very often. I eventually found a '02 Chevy Silverado SST Concept with 487HP for around 90K. Powerful truck, it ate the competition.

Yes **** THAT ****.

Every ******* turn that thing would fly off the road for some reason.

I had to pretty much max the ESP to stay on the road.

and the Z in the game doesn't handle like anything in real life.

I am dissapoint.

But I now fully upgraded it and its a beast

nurseryboy · 12-01-2010, 04:29 PM

So, I've been playing the game since it came out, and I love it!

Just like any respectable 370z owner, the first respectable car I bought when I had enough credits was the 370z. I then proceeded to mod the heck out of it, haha (all the tunes, supercharged, and so on.. I think to around 500 some-odd HP). I love the way it handles. Oversteer on a RWD car is a blast. I think it's my favorite car so far in terms of sheer "fun to drive".

When I had the money, though, the next nice car I bought was the '07 GT-R, which I proceeded to also mod the heck out of. I've actually added just about everything you can to it. It has 798HP I believe. INSANELY fast (haven't run into a car in single player that has been faster so far), but it has ungodly understeer. Thank goodness it's so fast, because you have to slow waaaay down for corners or you'll end up in a wall. I've also upgraded the LSD, diff, and suspension, and tweaked them (and the brakes) to try to help eliminate the understeer, but it's still there. It's so fast, though, that I'm still able to win all the races it's eligible for entering thus far.

I do have a question, though.. What's better than the GT-R? I want something that's as fast as it, but preferably in RWD so understeer isn't such an issue. I got the 458 Italia thinking it would be a good platform to mod, but it doesn't allow a turbo or supercharger! It's fast, but nowhere near the GT-R. Any recommendations on a super-fast car with amazing handling? Haha.

xdeslitx · 12-01-2010, 04:31 PM

Can you turbo or supercharge it? If so, that'd be great. The GT-R added on over 300HP worth of mods, and I'd love to find a V-8/10/12 that you could do that to. (Oh yeah, another downside to the GT-R - it seems to only have a top speed of around 197 or so.)

Upgrade the transmission to the adjustable one and you can tweak the final gear ratio. I've gone well over 200mph in my 700+HP Gallardo
