Safety Car
guess what car i bought from used car dealership??
honda oddysey!!! lol
i don't see much point in buying multi-million dollar car at this point since i have FGT and will try to win X2010.. so i'm just collecting cars that i'd have fun doing some casual racings.. (not that i'd really enjoy a lot for driving oddysey, but the cost is really not a factor anymore that i have over 10M even after FGT and recklessly buying cars left and right, including RM and upgrading)

i don't know that many historic cars.. which is good thing, because i won't buy those cars that will cost few hundred grands to few million credits..
all my collection have been below 100k per car =)

Ive been playing black ops more of late.So i fired up the gt5 once again level 14 A spec, level 8 B spec. The drive in B spec still drives retarded when trailing i thought they would of patched things like that by now

You might be able to beat it with the Chaparral 2J with the big turbo upgrade on it. Bob seems to be able to drive it & the 2D with ease.

ugh, that CR-Z challenge is tough, so i maxed out everything i could do besides weight and engine upgrades.
best i got was 2nd place and was 13 seconds behind 1st. the problem with it is that by the end of the 4th lap the battery in your car runs out causing a big drop in power.
dont really want to repeat again for 75,000 credits, but i just slapped on a sports air filter which put it right at 122hp, the limit. then put on those plastic windows and a carbon fiber body color hood. that put me at 1115kg, the lowest limit is 1100. how much that would help.

I don't know why but Chaparral's have always appealed to me. I think it's because they are so ridiculous. I mean their first aero cars just have huge wings and the 2j with it's dedicated 2 cycle motor to run a suction system is just nutty.

I think I found the best way to farm cash. The dream car championship! If you're running 1.05 the DCC gives you over 1million CR in a pretty short period of time. You get 108,000Cr for each of the 5 races and then a 540,000 Cr bonus for winning the championship.
I just bought the FGT with all this cash money and I'm now lapping fools on the like the wind race!

I can't do that race yet.

The dream car championship is looooong. Well it felt long. The Nurburgring race sucked. Only because it's raining so you can't go full out. 1 lap is fun. 3 laps isn't that great. Didn't know it had the GP course too... Which made it an 8min+ lap.
I think if I'm grinding. It'll be the American Indy race. Nice and mindless haha.
I still haven't beaten the Fiat race. I even tried ramming him. I was off by an inch. My lap times have gotten slower sadly. I drift there all the time, but I suck racing there.
I'm missing one D1GP car. The Mazda FC. If anyone comes across it please buy . I'll send you whatever reasonable car you want.

Uh, Isn't the FC a premium car at the mazda dealer? Or are you talking about a race car?

VERY happy with the Enzo. the car feels ALIVE to drive! very spirited and fun. something like the ZR1 (even max modded) feels uninteresting to drive by comparison - I never found much fun in driving that car. This one, DAMN! so fun to drive.

I'm slower than it by 2 seconds, if I didn't tap the walls or other cars at all, that could make the difference..

Just bought a 280z, too bad it's black.
I want it in blue like I think it was costcos avatar. Don't want to waste paint either because I want the 256 color trophy first.
