Cost Drivers!!!!
bought and modded an s2k last night. Tranny, flywheel, clutch, HLSD, driveshaft, stage1 weight, chasis reinforcement, suspension, exhaust, brakes, ECU. 265hp. Raced in the professional clubman cup and whooped on some cars while still getting 105 ASpect points. I love this car.

yea I agree, I love the S2k's (in the game and in real life
) - and they nailed the sound and feel of the car in this game - it's basically perfect.

It seems that the way this game is setup, you unlock everything in GT mode (cars included) and then they become available in arcade mode.
and for your final question, yes and no. the game does a good job of telling you what you have to change if your car doesn't meet a requirement such as tires or country of make. However, for certain races it will list certain cars you can use, and then say "etc" - I don't see any way of figuring out what's included in this "etc" group, short of getting in a car and trying to enter the race. This sucks cuz for example, in the Schwarzwald Liga A race in European Events, I bought a 330i and modded it up thinking I needed to do that.... I didn't. After I enter the race, I notice there is an M Coupe in the lineup
. Anyway that was annoying. Honestly the M Coupe is not in the same class as the other cars in that race, so that's BS. But they had the Z4 as eligible too so I dunno... anyway.... happy GT4'ing!!

My Black 787B pumped out 763hps AFTER oil change.
Catalog spec of the brand new 787B(Renown 787B that is) was 700hps. But I knew that catalog specs arent accurate, so I bought the car. It turned out that it had 803hps. That's BEFORE oil change.
So, theres difference of 40hps....which is quite big IMO.

From what I've read, if there is any "ultimate car" in this game, it's the Mercedes Sauber C9 - the prize car for the Formula GT Championship.
This may also be personal preference, though, but I have seen some vids of this thing in action, and the thing just hauls and handles like a dream.

Went through 12341234 pages but scrounged this up from one of the posts regarding unlocking arcade cars. Looks like Srika was right. Are there tracks to be unlocked?
I have a 100% and it is totally irrelevant. To get all the cars available in Arcade mode you need to have bought them or won them in GT Mode. There is initially a number of cars available so you don't need to get all the cars.

I don't know whether the glitch is still there in the American but out of the 710 cars in the Japanese version (obviously higher for the American version) you could only use 708 of them in Arcade mode. The two missing cars were the Fiat Panda and the Sileighty. I presume that as it is not classed as a Nissan the Sileighty got left out. I have no idea why the Panda was excluded.

Anybody else have trouble building up money in the beginning?

Did you have GT3? If so, transfer 100k credits from it. If not, run Capri Rally 2 under Special Condition events, a few times, win the Toyota RAID Rally Car, and sell it. Do this a few times until you get some cashola going.

I completely suck ass at this game. I got an rx7 and beat the sunday cup and the first 3 races in the FR, but now I can't beat anything else. Since I can't win any more races (85 rx7 vs 03 m3...gee) I can't win any more money, since I can't get money I can't get a better car.
What the hell should I do? Are there any easy ways to get $$? Can I win Capri Rally 2 with an old rx7 (320 hp or so, stage 1 turbo).

2 easy ways to win money,
posted earlier by msz
buy a civic type R in the used car showroom. get an oil change, and a racing chip. win the civic race in the honda dealer, and sell the winning car (Mugen Motul Race Race Car) for 95K. repeat this until you have the desired amount of money.
my way of getting quick money without spending a dime.
get all Silver medals in IB license tests to win : MAZDA RX-8 Concept (Type-II) '04
enter this car in the Mazda RX8 races.
sell the car you win (Mazda RX8 LM Race car) for 116K each.
Repeat until you have enough money to buy your porn, drugs, alcohol, and cars.
Note: keep the RX8 LM Race Car you win to reenter the races and run in b-spec mode at 3X to speed up the cash flow income.

after you get the CLK-DTM Touring Car and mod it to the max, run the Deutsch Touring Car Championship in European Events in Bspec mode - it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete at 3x speed - you get like 20k or 25k per race, and then 100,000 for winning - and then you win the CLK-GTR, sell for 750k. Honestly I racked up like 3mil within like 45 minutes of play using this technique, while I was watching some TV or surfing ACL.

The best way to earn money is to B spec the European Touring Car Championships. 15K a race and 75K at the end. The prize car is the CLK race car, or something like that, sell it and get 780K, repeat as much as you like. I made a quick 2 million in about 15 minutes doing this.

i have a question. in b-spec mode can i just let the game go by it self in a enduraance race. right now i'm in one and i have it at 3x but everytime i pit it kicks me out of it and waits for me to say ok to the pits then it goes back to live mode. is there any way i can change this so that it will stay at 3x and do it's own thing with out me having to be involved in it.
