That would be neat. There's a lot of different ways to get through all the Cups. Comparing notes would help. :thumbs:

What kind of stratigeies do you use to win? I'm intrested.

[Dan2]

Right now I'm still getting through amateur with 5 lap races and I find that medium-soft racing tires do the trick. Don't wear them out in the first 2 laps then you can go the distance for the win while others have to pit. I have $371,000 in the bank and 10 cars in the garage. My best car is the CLK Touring Car (D2 AMG Mercedes) with 833 HP worth $245,000.
Do you guys run with a lot of cars in the garage or do you sell them off to upgrade to more expensive cars?

[Dark Reign]

Right now I'm selling them off to get more money. I hope to collect more cars after I get some speedy one.

[Pantha]

I've been playing GT3 for just about a year now and all that time I've been trying to find and win the Diablo GT, and just recently I found out it's been cut from the Aust release... so pissed off :mad:

[Rivers]

I've never played this game at all. Maybe I should give it a try. :blink:

[Dark Reign]

You play any racing games and want a challange Rivers? Get GT3. It's a challange.

[Dan2]

Here's a pic of the D2 AMG Mercedes. I also have the Corvette C5-R but its all straightaway speed and handles like a dog in the corners. I'm about to sell it for $250,000. You must have good handling car to win.

[Rivers]

Wow sweet ride Dan! :wootrock:

[Dan2]

Hey Dark Reign,
I thought I was gonna lose my Gran Turismo buddy. I'm glad you did what you felt was right. :thumbs:

I stopped playing it 6 months ago

I was in the final leage

races toke more then an hour

and 1 of the 4 cars was a formula 1 car

I won 5 fomula 1 cars, but only 2 different

so I got a few double cars, even though I won them with different races
thats why I stopped
I remember a race of 78 laps, what toke me 1 hour and 45 min, where I wanted to win the formula 1 car

I had to win it 7 times, before I got it!!!
and only to find out, that I already had it

after that I stopped!

Sweet Car dan! :wootrock:

Yeah

The final competition is like that

I think the last race of that compitition, is the shortest and easiest to win&#33;&#33;
it only takes 50 min

and you only have to drive in circles

[Gun Element]

Gran turismo is great, I love it with the Streering wheel. Maybe it can be a part of my 50 hours I need to get my license. After all its so realistic :thumbs:

BTW, thats rippin dan :jammin:

[Dark Reign]

Here&#39;s one of my cars, the Mazda Miata. Or I think it is.....

[Dan2]

I have 2 more exams to get my Super License. The Mazda MX-5 Miata is the car they give you for the 2nd to last test. Its a sweet looking ride but can it get me around Trial Mountain in under 1:56. :unsure:

What is the prize for getting the Super License? Anyone?

The miata&#39;s suck it was the first car i got

i fully supped it up and messed with the gear ratios and it still went slow as hell

but it did have good control

[PlatinumFragMaster]

Some of my favorite cars i have is a

Zonda
Nissan Skyline
Sounds funny but i actually like the New Beetle RSI
Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4
Zonda C12S
CTR2 (Porsche)
Viper GTS
Viper GTS Concept
Skyline GTR V-Spec II

I will give other posts telling about them

[PlatinumFragMaster]

You would be suprised but the New Beetle RSI by Volkswagon is pretty good

New Beetle RSI RSI
428 HP
Quick little bugger ( get it bugger lol )
Great for the beetle cup

[PlatinumFragMaster]

I also figured out if u give your new car an oil change and a car wash before useing it

it will up the HP about 10-50 HP depending on the cars strength

[PlatinumFragMaster]

Esprit V8 SE Lotus

1006 HP
7100 RPM

Decent car

Pretty Quick and has decent handling

[PlatinumFragMaster]

Tuscan Speed 6 TUR

655 HP

Decently fast
Good handling

I mainly like it because of the paint jobs u can give it

[PlatinumFragMaster]

Mtsubishi 3000GT VR-4

975 HP
Quick as Hell
Great handling

and it looks cool as hell

[PlatinumFragMaster]

Zonda C12S Pagani

1113 HP

Very fast
Handling is not so good though

I like it cause of the money it cost me and it looks cool as hell

I call it my jet car

[PlatinumFragMaster]

V8 Vantage Austin Martin

992 HP
6700 RPM

From the specs it sounds good but it actually sux

I think it would be good if u messed with the ratios but i just forgot about it

[PlatinumFragMaster]

CTR 2 RUF ( porsche )

800 HP

I like this car alot

Great Handling
Great Speed

I think this is my favorite car


Skyline GTR V-Spec II Nissan

998 HP

Fast as hell
Great handling for how fast it is

Looks great to

[Dan2]

OMG PlatinumFragMaster how the heck did you get the cash to afford all those exotics?? The Zonda alone is big bank&#33;&#33; Did you win any of these cars? How far along are you in the career mode(simulation)?

You are Rockin&#39;&#33;&#33; :jammin:

[Dark Reign]

And a Dodge Viper to match with the Zonda? I always have trouble getting cash like that&#33;

Ive been playing this game forever

yes i won a few of the cars i spent the most money modding them out except for a few

i already beat all the regular races except the endurences

the problem is i havent played the game for about 6 months so im a little rusty

i tryed playing tonight and had a little trouble

ill be playing again soon cause i got the internet expansion for the ps2

so hopefully if any of u have it i will race u onnline

i just gotta get it connected

[PlatinumFragMaster]

the only prob is that i am a dirty racer

i always use other cars for turns and such and to tell u the truth im not even that good at raceing
at least not anymore
i won most of the profesional races by a hair



a trick to getting the money is find an easy race that offers alot of money for 1rst place and race it over and over again

trust me i spent months doing this so its what u have to do to get the chaching &#036;&#036;&#036;&#036;

[Dan2]

Well sometimes you have to "lean" on the outside car in a turn, it&#39;s all good.

Making money is tough, especially in the beginning. Do you remember if you got your Super License and what the prize is?

[PlatinumFragMaster]

Yup
but i dont know what the prize for getting all gold was

whatever it was it wasnt that good cause i dont use the car

im sure i got it in my garage though hold on let me check

[Dark Reign]

I feel your pain. I remember buying a Miata when I first started out and driving like crazy. I didn&#39;t take much care of it though so it wore down, and I had to sell it and then bought a PT Cruiser. YUCK. :bandhead:
But I&#39;m still picking up the pace, becoming more skilled, I only have my B liscence, and a soem kind of Mazda.

Here&#39;s a question for you guys: What Cup do you consider most difficult?

[PlatinumFragMaster]

got profesional licence but im not sure what car it gave me though

[Dan2]

The Pagani Zonda C12S

[PlatinumFragMaster]

where do u get these threads of the cars

[Dan2]

Zonda interior:

[Dark Reign]

Damn those Zonda&#39;s are fine fine cars&#33;

[PlatinumFragMaster]

sure are

[PlatinumFragMaster]

Thnx for makeing this post it got me playing GT3 alot more

Got my skills back

[PlatinumFragMaster]

I just found something out today

just trust me

Buy the Suzuki Escudo

Mod out the turbo&#39;s

all u can buy is the turbo 4

go to the car wash and oil change

get both of them done

and your Escudo should have around 1800 HP

1800 HP is the most ive found on the game plus u can use the escudo for rally and regular races
