Yeah - I didn't even get on last night to check what was on the lot, lol. I got Red Dead Redemption (I already had it for 360, but my dad and brother play on PS3, so I needed to add that to play with them, lol. I spent all evening with updates, Nightmare, and all that, then I just went to bed, lol.

Congratulations! You should be the owner of a ZR1. Black beauty.

Just remember to change the oil, rebuild the engine and chasis before you send me a replacement. Remember, no rush, just keep an eye open.

SWEET, man!!! THANKS, MARK!!! I'll be sure to keep my eyes open and get those details squared away. Shoot - for interest, I might upgrade more, if it's okay with you. Just let me know

I gave you my factory original one, so factory will be fine. I already have a modd'd one.


Picked up a second Grand sport yesterday.

Looking for the right S2000 right now, and of course a C2 Z06 race car.

Shoot. I just saw an S2000 last night. Are you looking for a specific model or year?

[Camaro_Corvette]

Yeah, there is plenty of S2000's out there, but I remember one of them having 11,000RPM. I always thought that was cool. I think it was a special edition though. There was one in Gran turismo 2, but I can't seem to find it in this one. :( I always like to get a hold of the freak cars in these games. Had an opportunity to get a speed 12 last night, but I had to be a Level 21 to buy it. I was level 20.8 at the time. It's safe to say that by the time I reached 21 it was gone. :bangdesk:


Here is the list of S2000's in the game. I just about bet one of these is the car I'm looking for.

Honda S2000 '99

Get the Amuse S2000 GT1. The 04 from the used dealer is 550 HP and a beast, you can also get a newer one in the New Car dealer which is 650 HP.

I personally prefer the lower power one as I use it online in HP limited races. Considering I outran a couple Super GT cars in it Sunday night I'd say it does quite well!

I'm good, they are a dime a dozen in the used car lot. Just sifting through the shitty ones. lol

I'll give this a looksie. I've been doing those special events for the last couple days, and wow do they pay out! I can't for the life of me get a gold in holding an outer line at daytona in Jeff Gordans car.. I need a 13.200, so far I have hit 13.202 twice, and 13.201 is my record. I'm so close I can taste it.

How about the Seasonal Events (little purple icon on the left) they pay out even better!

Also for the Jeff Gordon races make sure all aids including especially ABS is off (if ABS is off it removes ASM which is locked on otherwise for some stupid reason, ASM slows you down a lot in a NASCAR on the oval).

[GTAHVIT]

Can I just say I really suck at this game....

LOL

I'm still in the beginner A spec events and I tried that stupid...eruo heritage race where you have to use a car from Europe between 60 and 79... all I could buy was this stupid fiat that wasn't no where near able to keep up with the other cars...

in the end wasted like 14 grand.... stupid.

so then I go back to the licenses and I'm on the last one of the third series of licenses...

You can't touch ANYTHING!!!!! and the car they give you is so damn loose that I have no chance. I have yet to even finish two laps without being disqualified...

it there a good way to practice and earn some cash along the way?????

I didn't know I had to be a car history guru to use this game... LOL

But my dumbass will play it for 3 hours till 1 am whenever I can....

[MAGfuz]

You could do some of the seasonal races for quick XP and Cr. I've been doing them and it got me up from like lvl 19 to 25, over the course of the last few weeks. I thought it would take me forever too but then I followed a guide on GameFAQS to help me through some races and the seasonals helped!

Cool I'll check that out.

[RAdams]

I agree with MAGfuz - seasonal bonus races are a great way to get cash. I'd tracked my spending vs. awards on the 3rd series and I netted about 1.5 million! I was curious how much experience was gained from the seasonal races so I started a new account. I think I did just the Bonus Race 4 series and went from Level 1 to Level 18! It was funny how many "level up" notes popped up between rounds.

I'm still looking... There was a EU one last night, but it wasn't anything special. Because there are so many that could be the wrong one, I'll focus on replacing the ZR-1, that Concept Silverado, or that C2 Z06

YOU GOT IT? Sweet You don't suck. You just have to get used to the physics of the game. Coming over from FM3, it took me a while to get the hang of it. I'm still making the transition. Just keep playing. To get some quick cash, I would just play the same race over, and over, and over, and over again. I'm not understanding something about the Seasonal Events, and just don't have many cars that qualify for them. I guess I'll just have to spend the credits. It doesn't help that I have like three '10 SSs...

Did you already give your screen name?
