What car are you guys using to beat Like the Wind B-Spec? I just can't win with my Furai, Zonda-R or my RM ZR1.

Can I borrow anyone's car to beat it please?

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've read that you can beat it in A-Spec with the ZR1 because the B-Spec driver slows down too much, but I haven't found where you can beat it in B-Spec with it.

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.

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.
yea..you should definitely try to get the weight as close as to the limit. I definitely noticed the power drop..lol....I lost about 2 seconds in the 4th and 5th lap because of that.....

Is there a way to win the 2j or do I have to hunt it down in the used cars and pay for it. I have always loved that car.

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!

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.

It shows up in the used car showroom only since it's a standard car. Should look like this one. Too lazy to find a gt5 photo.

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.

Yeah, the closest I got was 1.3XX seconds behind. It's frustrating me, but I'll try again today.

My main drift cars have changed from Re Amemiya RX-7 to a Nissan Fairlady Z (370z) to this... It was a keeper. So I decided to repaint it.
