Fairlane · 28-11-2005, 05:17 PM

Got the Black Edition for PC today.

By the way i reckoned that the incar view rocked in the early NFS's, especially in Hot Pursuit when I could compare the leather interior of the EL GT to my povo pack GLi

aimzes · 28-11-2005, 07:26 PM

well im up to 2 strikes on my lexus and one on my supra lol. dead set i drove over this thing and it colapsed (like a building site) so i was stuck and got busted. then i did it again, ffs...

**Polyal** · 28-11-2005, 10:14 PM

yeah played it a bit more tonight...its getting better I must say..ive been done twice in my supra but Ive had get out of jail free cards.

Something that bugs me though, WTF is there two versions of the monaro? And I refuse to buy the mustang as it was in the last one.

1's a pontiac GTO (LS1) and the vuaxhall AFAIK is the LS2?

also i love the way the AI get to no clip through walls wen ur ripping them

8pAc · 29-11-2005, 09:45 AM

Did they fix the whole ai catchup thing or is it still really bad. i hated nfs u & u2 so much for this reason alone.

**Polyal** · 29-11-2005, 10:31 AM

well the stock cops seem to catch you pretty well from crummy vic crowns or whatever they are..still....its good so far

Pontiac GTO and Vauxhall Monaro VXR, basically they're the HSV GTO rebadged for the overseas markets.

I've finally supercharged my Mustang, I didn't have the first engine upgrade, but had the first Supercharger upgrade and put on the Unique mod too. Didn't have the go I expected, so I put on the first engine upgrade and that made a huge difference.

I'm a little disappointed with the sound it makes, not quite the same as the Champ Car Mustangs, but it's close.

The Monty · 29-11-2005, 11:10 AM

Quick question, is there still a drifting section?

TheSneakiness · 29-11-2005, 11:28 AM

Quick answer - no.

**Polyal** · 29-11-2005, 01:23 PM

meh the drifting bit was tedious I thought.

/guys I know what the monaros are,, I just thought it was silly to have two that are nearly identical.

And if you want to drift, do it while you race

I thought it was a bit wierd when doing 300 odd in a porsche cayman S being passed by a crown victoria.

Made #5 on the blacklist today. 1 more to beat then I can get the GT

.

b2tf · 29-11-2005, 11:40 PM

Agreed about the Monaros - i didnt see the need to have both versions in there.

In the garage atm I have:

2x S/C Mustang GT's
1x Porsche Cayman S
1X Aston Martin DB9

The aston is a bit of a dissapointment but its such a good looker I had to have one.

Bounty stands at 2,438,000 too. And its not easy to get it there.

Yeah, once you unlock Rockport, when Condition 4 becomes available, it gets that tad bit harder. I had 4 Get out of Jail free markers, in 4 pursuits, I have none. And I used them all on my Mustang. Gotta hate them spike strips.

I have in my garage at this moment...

Chevrolet Cobalt SS - Bought
Toyota Supra - Pink Slip
Mazda RX8 - Pink Slip
Ford Mustang GT - Bought

I did have an Eclipse, but they suck so bad I had to sell it.

1.6 mil bounty, I'm blacklist #9.

**Polyal** · 30-11-2005, 09:57 AM

damn you guys must be play it hard...

Ive got a sweet looking Golf GTi, and Supra (pink slip) and a RX8 (pink slip).

I want to save for something really good, might just mod the supra untill I can get the GT40 or something.

No way will you be able to cane stuff to get to the GT40 in a Supra. Go for a Prosche Cayman S, reasonably cheap but damn fast. Sends the speed cameras nuts too.

I was hoping to grab one of them via Pink Slip, but it didn't work out that way.

Damn straight. Got all the performance markers and put em on this car. The only bar which isn't full is accelleration. If you change the turn in (5), handling (2), ride height (-3) and downforce (2) in the tuning, you get unbelievable midcorner speed. I bought the 911 carerra S and forked out too much on mods only to find it came nowhere near the cayman :S.

Ooo, and #4 on the black list now. Only 3 races away from being able to afford the GT. Go the uni holidays.

b2tf · 30-11-2005, 04:59 PM

Managed to pick up the Gallardo today - i was expecting it to cane me royally (I was in the Cayman) but I actually flogged it! Something odd there!

So now it resides in my garage alongside DB9, 2x Mustangs (although 1 is impounded atm).

Im now up to trying to get 200,000 Bounty in 1 single police chase and it is NOT easy. The bloody Monaro Cop cars box you in and you cannot get out.

i hate driving out of the car...i hate the in car view too...like with the wheel and a piller evident...just rather have the whole screen filled up with scenery..is it called bumper view?

besides....size isn't an issue for me..i have a 104cm bigboy(TV)....you have to take you eyes off the road too look at the tacho lol

b2tf · 30-11-2005, 11:12 PM

The Gallardo is a HUGE disappointment.

Won a Blown Corvette tonight, and is it a goer or what. Absolute Machine, it and the Mustang are probably the best consistent performers. For stuff where you need to hit good speeds use a Porsche but for anything else these 2 are the go.

Do you try to reverse out?

Sometimes that works, because what happens is the front cars turn and move forward toward you, then jam on the accelerator and you *should* be OK. I do it when I get rammed by the SUV's.

200,000 isn't hard to get, use a car with condition 4 rating on it straight up, you'll have 200,000 in no time.

I gained another Stang last night, gotta love pink slips.

Yeah my usual tactic if theyre got me in a box is to go for the side of the road, slam on the brakes, reverse out and floor it, but i often get heaps of wheelspin which is annoying.
Im now needing to get 325,000 in a single chase, got sooooo close last night.

And an interesting thing - if you get to a certain point of Pursuit the Rhino SUV's get bigger, and they also send Corvettes after you.

Buy a Corvette to go with the Mustang - believe me they are worth it.

Mr Cube · 01-12-2005, 05:27 PM

Im still stuck with my Ghey Punto.. Can't wait till I get some real cars...

Do you get the pink through placing bets like Juiced or by choosing the correct markers?

Only put in like 2hours so far so still feeling my way around.

Kapn_Kiwi · 01-12-2005, 07:25 PM

Correct Markers. Just hope my luck holds up (only missed one slip so far)

b2tf · 01-12-2005, 07:54 PM

When you beat an opponent and get to choose 2 of their markers, 9 times out of 10 the pinkslip is the second marker from the left. I always pick it and I havent missed out on a car yet.

Sold my DB9 and the Gallardo too - both pieces of junk. Now got 2x Blown Mustangs with direct nitrous, 2x Corvettes with the same setup, and 2x Porsches - one Cayman, and a 911 Turbo S which is doing quite nicely.

**Polyal** · 01-12-2005, 09:45 PM

woot just picked up the cayman with a pink lip..saves buying it.

How much does the ford GT go for? The only car I have brought so far is my GTi.

Ive saved $130k..I hope its not to much more than that. Although I am only 10th on the list so ive got ages to go...lol

Havent got it yet but I think its around 320K. I need to beat 1 more guy then I can get it so Ill tell ya then.
They are going to want to pick up though, I beat one in a sprint quite easily - admittedly it was pink.

donno · 01-12-2005, 11:13 PM

GT was 180k IIRC. Waste of money :S. Worked cayman S has better accelleration and handles better.

Feathers · 02-12-2005, 10:20 AM

I went to play some more of this on my PS2 last night, and found that when I tried to load my profile it had been corrupted.

Had to start all over again. NOT happy Jan.

TheSneakiness · 02-12-2005, 04:09 PM

Missed the Cayman first time round, but had enough money to buy, so I did.

Have quite a nice little garage now...

Cobalt SS
Supra
RX8
Mustang GT x2
Cayman
