    pshaw, this is about the best all around car, not who can get the highest in the speed test [​IMG] The skyline is the best handling car in that game and is simply the most all-around car you can get in the game IMO.

    Yeah, I absolutely HATE Miatas. Now it's on the shelf... I managed to get a Mustang SVT and am mod'ing the crap out of it. What the hell is up with my torque?! I have the horsepower of the gods, but the torque of dandelion tumbling in the wind (wow... now that sucked).

    Anyway, what kind of numbers are you guys pushing for the 400, 1000, and top speed? I want to know how much my car still sucks. [​IMG]

    I just got thoroughly destroyed by a Vette C5R. [​IMG]

    Yeah, Miata's absolutely suck. One question, when you run the endurance races in GT3 are there still times when your car is completely outclassed? I know that at times in GT2 you would enter in an endurance race with your car right up to the allowable limits of HP and you would go against something crazy like a GT40 which would blow away all of the other cars.

    Sounds like I am the only one with a F1 car. If your thinking Skylines can handle and GT3000's can speed then you ain't seen nothing yet.

    My comments are completely in reference to GT2, as the only GT3 I've played was in Software Etc. at Willowbrook mall.

    i can give you a bunch of times, wait, i will be right back


    all these times are =kinda screwey, but im sure you can guage yourself to some degree. i dont know what the gear settings were as i just took all them out of the garage and raced them, but i bet most were stretched more for speed rather than acceleration

    they will come as follows
    car name, 400 time/speed 1000 time/speed, max speed.

    audi TT 15.066/110, 25.337/147, 179.1
    mini cooper 15.789.97, 27.694/125, 154.2
    supra 11.365/150, 18.651/209, 254.5
    nsx 11.546/129, 20.502/167, 219.4
    viper 10.462/150, 18.029/196, 271.0
    clk55 12.717/123,21.947/162, 203.6(still in 5th??)
    300ZX 11.950/142,19.845/195, 251.5


    i have more cars, but i was getting terribly bored doing all the tests

    skyline and 3000gt are both simular to the supra and vipers numbers.
    also the vits sucks, evolutionVI is ok, and bugs irritate me, but are pretty quick.

    all these times and speeds can easily be beaten by the way, so dont get too exciteed, im just giving a barometer.

    peace

    Is that the way you get freebie cars and unlock other cars - by winning series? If so, I'm doomed because I still suck at turning. Hehe.

    I found a non-aspirated race in the Amateurs that I can consistently whoop up on the competition with my Frankenstein'd SVT. That's $15k a pop for each victory.

    I thought Madden 2001 was addictive... geez, I think GT3 is even more addictive. [​IMG]

    Well, I just bought a CLK55 last night to see if I can win one of those Mercedes-only races and maybe grab $20k a pop. I wanted to get a Viper, but I figure I have the 700+ hp, 220 mph Mustang for the American muscle-car shootouts. I'm still getting beat by about 3 seconds by that stupid CR5, though. [​IMG]

    Damn this game is hard when you are first starting. I have some hooptie honda with the $12K turbo kit. Good enough to beat cars in the first series of race, but nothing else :(

    How the hell do you guys figure out how to turn and exactly how slow or fast to turn.

    I want that damn 220 Jaguar for $780k, but I only got like $10k :(

    Gran Turismo 2 or The First are both excellent racing games for PS1 . Man I havent got around to playing this game in a while then Best Buy didnt have Tony Hawk 3 so I wound up buying crash bandicoot 5 or whatever .

    I have an 1100 horsepower Lotus Esprit (One of the older ones) that will CRUSH anything you guys wanna put up against it. .

    270 mph on the oval



    WHO WANTS SOME.


    But if you absolutely have to win a race against the toughest cars. The two F1's are unstoppable once you put a turbo kit in them. Youll win the endurance races by at least 15 laps....even if you suck.

    Dodge Viper :

    1088 hp
    Max Speed : 271.2 mph (I think I can adjust the gearing to get this to go faster)
    400m : 9.783
    1600m : 17.831 (I might be able to improve on this)
