[Justo]

you'll still have fun with it.... hell, as much as you game it you might pass some of us

 

[Poundtherock]

I really want this game because I feel like lately I have become a reborn JMS, ha. I've been loving racing games. The only problem is that I feel like I'd be so behind you guys it wouldn't even be worth it.

Jump in! You will catch up quick!

I got this on friday and already have some nice rides and am level 16 or 17... Blade's scrub ass is like 20 lol then again I have been cracked out on this game for the most part. It really doesn't take long to get the car you want and where you want it, If you are looking to get lots of money and cars quick then don't really worry about licenses, do the races and unlock cars, and special events like Nascar school pay out pretty well.

I have the 09 GTR, but man I can't get any closer than 5th place in that race. Gettin realy frustrated.

Yea I was at 13 in a day ass wipe........wait till you get stuck at 19 for like a week. Because I ran out of events to do, then PD puts out these seasonal events finally, and revamp the amount creds and xp you get, so all you NOOBs jump in and are rankin up to 20 in 2 days.

Luckily those events aren't open forever - they will eventually expire... I believe Seasonal Events No. 1 closes on the 5th.

You want to borrow the '07? Not guaranteeing a win but.......................

 

[Boucher]

Ya fuck it's a bitch to grind when u 18-19-20

Yea if you don't mind man.......I am about to set this 09 on fire.......lol.


BTW.......just finished the NASCAR Special Challenge. Got my first gold on the last challenge on advanced level. I turned the ABS off from the default settin of 1, apparently these boats run way faster when you have ABS off, and also when the fuck are we brakin in this bullshit except for at the Indy 500? You don't need ABS at Daytona, the bank does the job for you.

Anyway, I may try the other ones again, to get silver and gold. I only got a 70 Chally 440 R/T, I was hoping to win the 69 Camaro Z/28.

Also has anyone race modded the Z/28? I am thinking of doing it.

 

[Poundtherock]

Yea if you don't mind man.......

Just delivered............be agressive.....you can hit the tunnel at good speed with it and don't hit the brakes till you get to the first left of the 180. Turn three was a big prob for me to get right. the "s" curves thru the lights are very easy to hit if you get the rhythm. Cut the corners when possible. GL

Holy shit.....PTR........I don't know what you did to that car, but I just got 2nd place, even after I totaly fucked up an entire lap on the turns, but running into ever fuckin curb.

Insane, I finished 10 secs behind the GT, but I think it would have been much closer if I had raced that one lap clean.

For the record I used Automatic.

Make a [close] clean run and you should have it.
