Gt5 Is Ready

[warps]

did all the seasonal 6 races today....last 2 were actually a little challenging (without going nuts on car mods) the new Corvette sounds like crap apparently

almost 9 mill in the bank and some more dam sexy cars. 220+ atm

I used a corvette I already had in the stable. Had to do every mod to it, including rebuild the engine before I had a chance of winning that race. Dam I hate that track!!! In hind sight, I would have been better off buying a new (faster) Vette and using that as a starting point. On the flip side, I already had the MX5 and just fitted racing tyres and a filter and ECU - won the race easily enough.

has anyone come across a Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR LM Race car at all?? be it in the used car section or from winning a race?

did the same today at a friends. the 2000 model.did almost everything to it and still didnt catch him...only 5 seconds off when we gave up.

i highly recomend the newest angriest Vette, and do a few good angry mods. much easier to drive.

Liger- not that ive seen

I have one I traded for it. I don't think you can win it but it shows up in the UCD, if your keen for one pm me your psn and I can give you one.

i had one of the c6 or zr1 corvettes (the supercharged 7L one or whatever it is) with racing modifications done to it that i'd used in other races. i was in the lead by the end of the second or 3rd lap. ended up lapping half the field.

and I'm still waiting for a long-tailled BMW F1 GTR to show in the UCD

yup- the '09 ZR1 Corvette; it's the best car to win the American Championship with, after being RM'ed

[boiracer]

saw this today......how do they intend on getting away with it....i say disqualify them all. what do they do if they make it to the finals and actually have to race the lap??

Americans

P.S. crap track anyways....designer should be shot

I think its the expert series there's a race series for the older (pre 79) le mans type race cars. Can't remember what it's called right now. What cars have people used to finish these races? I've been trying with a Countach with every mod i can buy but the best it can do is 2nd with absolutely no chance of a 1st.

<br><br>I used the Toyota 7 and I think that it's a prize car B spec somewhere.  I have heard it ''can'' be won with the Countach but I tried it too and theres no way I could have won with it either. Edited February 2, 2011 by NISMATT

I'm selling my code on eBay, I haven't even played B Spec yet. The only reason I bought the Signature edition was that I thought that the SLS AMG competition was open to everyone who forked out for that pack, not just for 15 players across the world who have no life except for playing GT5 B Spec 24/7.

eBay link - GT5 Signature Edition SLS AMG Competition code auction

Starting bid is $20, Buy It Now for $150. Up for the next 3 days.

wha? I forgot to do my entry for the SLS AMG. I'm guessing that A: I'm now too late and B: there was some other task I had to complete apart from shelling out $$$ for the game which promised me an entry in a draw to win an SLS AMG? arseholes.

Hehe I had a go the other day. I only have one car that qualifies, which actually has some hp, but it wasn't quite up to the task. While the '62 Buick special may hose other pre-80's sedans, it's no match for proper race cars of the era. Poor thing lost about 10 sec in the first half lap, and only got worse from there.

I filed that one away for the "when I have a spare 50 million credits to waste on cars I'm only going to drive once" category.

Hey mate it is possible with the countach tuned properly, I did it. The trick is to make sure the 2J is behind you on the starting grid. Then when you get down the straight on deep forest you just block him from passing you. The second course is much easier than the first as well, was in front by around 7 seconds.

[boiracer]

i just nutted thru B spec to get the Toyota 7. "like the wind" is where you win it. and the Minolta in the Aspec version.

both cars are priceless in the racing scheme of things. saves you spending alot on buying equivalents

[hamiltonau]

annoyed as no new seasonal events today, absolutely smashed the dozen or so there were to do up to this point and hungry now for more easy creds and xp!

[NISMATT]

Yes I was keen for them today as well, whats strange though is that the OCD has been refreshed.

[liger]

i wont get the chance to do ahte seasonal races untill tomorrow night anyway, so it does not bother me too much, altho i would like another 787B.

i've asked a few people about this, but how many of us race online? i've been toying with the idea of creating SAU room on a friday night/weekend night. but if the numbers are low it might not be worth it.

[boiracer]

Mmmm 787B. awesome car

im keen for online racing...but im on that irregularly i cant really dedicate any weekend night.....everyone i know is having their 30th this yr. every weekend is a party (not that im complaining)

and yes bring on more seasonals

[mickey]

OK now at about level 31/32 for a and b spec...was a real pain in b spec winning the extreme series historic racers challenge whatever that is. Toyota 7 ftw. Damn that 2J when it starts on the front row I thought I had no chance

I shoulda bought the Nissan R92C when I had the chance, but I'm happy with my R89C. seems easier to control than the Minolta.

does anyone have a gripe with the tuning? I mean an R34 vs2 n1 can only muster about 800hp fully tuned? and let's not forget that the figures given are at the flywheel not atw. They've munted the tuning on a lot of cars but I notice it on the skylines relative to old GT's. the old GT's could pull 1100hp or more sometimes out of a skyline, has anyone managed over 1000hp with any GTR?

[sh@un]

nope

needs to be a 'stage 4' turbo and engine kit via dlc

[boiracer]

yes and no, they do become somewhat undrivable anyways once fully done up. my 33 GTR has 580hp (not fully pimped) and unless i fiddle with the suspension, and make it 25/75 F/R drive its too understeery for my likings at all. just seems to get more with more power.

even the tommy ZZII suffers from this a little.

P.S. not a complain, just an observation. anything can be worked around i guess.
