I did everything Stage 2 on my Galant, and went for it, pushing about as hard as I could. Next thing I know, the guy is about 20 seconds behind me!
So I sold that ugly-ass Toyota rally car and got $265k out of it
Heading off to the Subaru dealer
Haha, I told you! That's the easiest way to bank 265 g's!

The last Super test is the ring in 8 min. That's a bitch.

It's ok that your skills are lacking Phil and you can't keep it under control, you don't need to say you're purposely trying to put 3 wheels off the track.
Watch it foooool, I'm the ring master. I'm a blonde-cunt-hair away from breaking 7 minutes.
I hit 7:09 in the Grand National. A car from 1987 never really intended to be turning, pulled a 7:09. That's faster than I was pulling in my M3 GTR. Maybe it was the 6-ish kg/mm spring rate, lol.

I just did the Grand Valley 300, and damn that was a waste of time. The "fast" opponent was a LM RX7.... that was just as fast as me....and only pitted once in 60 laps

How did you manage to do that????
Speaking of the 'Ring, I'm very proud of my 10:30 lap time...
Because I did it in a completely bone-stock Honda Beat. Yeah it's a little frustrating on the straights as it tops out at 108mph, but it can tackle those corners like a go-kart...
Also, I haven't done any iA license stuff yet, but a friend was getting so frustrated with it that I went to his house and did it for him
. I messed up about 4 or 5 times while I was learning the car, but eventually I pulled off almost a perfect lap and got Silver. Guy said he was amazed at how I drove that track...

Looks like the shortcut near the start/finish at Trial Mountain. I think that's the name, it was in GT3.
I got silver on the IA 'ring test too.

Evidently you can b-spec stuff that you don't qualify to drive in. Lame.

yep that's the corner, hit it hard and you do a nose dive in a truck
Phil, I got a 7:03 in the X-Runner
I'm closing in on sub 7. Now if I could stop falling off the track

You're right Hardy, the Carlton hauls ass. I waited like 6 months (game time) for one to come in, and then once I bought it, I changed the oil and went straight for the 'Ring. My previous recordholder was my Galant with Stage 1 everything at 8:22, the Carlton completely demolished it at 8:14
But then I did the Galant up completely as far as it could go, and did a 7:34
And that was nowhere near a perfect run...
Watch it guys, I'm catching up

That's because the carlton is one of, if not the best sedan ever made.

My turn!!!
The beast:
My 84 Skyline, which I hooked up all the way and did a 7:16 on the 'Ring this morning (look out guys!
)
This picture almost brings a tear to my eye it's so beautiful:
Wheee!
I don't care if it only has 63hp, this car is fun as a barrel of monkeys:
You're right Hardy, this car really is bad-ass!
Oh yeah, can't forget a Soob!

My sister had an Impulse back in high school. Probably around '89. It was nice for about 4 months and then it just started falling apart. :l

Hey! Where is that option to change the photo quality again???
Tell me, Tell me, TELL ME!!

I think it's when you go into the Photo Travel, go to Photo Mode Options right next to Exit, and turn all the quality and resolution or whatever up to Super Fine. Your pictures will take up about 200-300KB instead of 50-60KB when you save them.
This is my new sleeper actually, I just demolished the Tuning Car Championship in Professional with this bad boy, only tuned to Stage 2, no NOS. It can go over 500hp though!
(Yes I know I'm waay behind, I'm testing on the 'Ring too much
)
