I think it was only the skylines you could bore out in the first games.

What's up with the NOS ( i havent bothered with it yet) does it not work in races?

[T-Bird]

well I can't figure out why you would spend 5,000 and be barely able to use it say you have a 600 hp mustang a 50 shot of nitrous won't do much.

Actually it can prove quite helpful.

Here is a scenario - youhave a car that you have slightly modded - just enough to give you a small edge over the competition, but not too much HP so you shred you rear tyres and overdrive the track all the time.

You run neck and neck with the AI 1st place runner until you get a chance to pass - and on the main straightaway use your 50 - 100hp shot (adjustable - look in the car config window) to put some daylight between you and the quick agressive AI driver. Saving this step for the start of the last lap can give you the edge you might not have had.

Alternatively, if you can only afford small mods - the nitrous can give you the jump for races that do not have practice (qualifying) to get you near the front of the grid - especially useful for rolling starts where the front guys get the drop on your through some early bends after the start-finish straight.

OK - gripe time agai....

If you buy new wheels, why do they insist that you have trade your stock wheels in - and they are gone forever. If you buy wheels for your car, chances arte in real life you would keep the originals..

BTW, a nice touch is that you can have diff. wheels for diff. tyre types... and that if you shop the "Daily specials' you can buy other cars wheels - like the set of E-Type Jaguar wheels I put on my riced out Hyundai..

holy crap I just saw they have the Taurus SHO in this game, of all the cars they put that one in.

BTW I thought they were going to have Lingenfelter and Hennesey in this game what happened?

They are race cars without any paint, so they are bare carbon fiber. I think.

but a TV card.......and RCA to mini RCA audio converter.
I actually having the same problem, but I am considering buying a ikea table just to anchor the wheel. Or else i will have to make a trip to home depot.

I'm interested in this, but it requires me to be on like day 649-700 like someone posted. This won't happen anytime soon as im only on day 50 lol

With regard to the A-Spec points.. they seem to be increased the closer your cars perfomance is to the competitors.

So if you take a LeMan car to stock hatch bakc racxe, you may get 1 or even 0 points... but take a bone stock Civic Type R to race against an NSX Type R and you get a lot of points.

So the A-Spec points will be an indicator of how often you run cars in a state of tune close to the competition vs running race cars against stock cars.

At least this is what I think the points are ll about. (I couldn't be bothered going back to see if someone else posted something similar )
