Nice to see some US Muscle appreciation

I love them, got the shelby GT 500, the firebird / Camaro and got the shelby daytona thing on reserve but it never seems to come into stock

Alfa's don't, we have a 147 TSpark 2.0l and it's turning circle is abysmal, you can't do a U-Turn on a wide street, hell, on wide public housing streets you're lucky if you can turn 90 degree's, it's 3/4/5-point turns all the time.

Only the truth there. My dad's GT turns like a sofa with no wheels. Ever since he's had Alfa's hes been delibrately parking in 2 spaces as far from the shop as possible to avoid someone parking too close either side preventing him from escaping quickly.

Chevvy Camero, Shelby GT500 or a Pontiac Firebird!

Think Im going to order Eleanor (Shelby GT500) gorgeous car, dont care what it drives like either! lol

Thats because its not active, at the moment there are no lexus cars to buy. This one doesnt count towards anything in the game, so just go and find some more

You should tell him to pay for the stuff before he leaves, then there might not be such a need for a quick getaway

have you found the pontiac one?! This caught me out for ages. (its down near airport / track).

 

[fergie666]

lol the lexus garage confused me too, especially as it is marked on the paper map that you get with the game. in the end i just ignored it.

to unlock the bike garages, i sat with the paper map, counting how many there were in a group, then i toured the island making sure i had the same amount on my "in game" map as i had on the paper map

good luck

If you cant get into the bike showrooms, or havent had a message pop up saying so, then trust me, you havent been to all the car showrooms

 

[Kainz]

Don't forget the Pontiac showroom by the airport. Almost everyone forgets that.

Edit: oops, never saw Owens post above

 

[Pr0t0c0L]

the problem was i had not visited all the showrooms, i could see them all on the ingame map tho. i got it working now

You don't know how much grief that sodding garage gave me. Unless you really zoom in on that particular area you can't see the damn thing.

What is the handling like?

The demo seemed really poor, the steering was all over the place in my opinion.

I played the demo and thought the same, it put me off buying the game. I bought it anyway a week or two later. Once you upgraded the car and purchased better cars like the Saleen for example(my favourite) it is quite good.Don't let the demo put you off as it did me. Its a good game , just requires some getting into

 

[WotDa]

Another Saleen fanboy.

The only reason I have mine, and tuned it is for the extra car in my garage getting me shiny achievment points.

If you want a decent Saleen tune a Mustang near you today. Just buy it with stock rims and watch the decent ones come home.

 

[Pr0t0c0L]

the handlin is bit unrealistic at the start of the game, but the faster the car you get the more accurate the pyshics starts to get, and since the most fun is in the faster cars this is kinda of good

ive just been done out of 10,000 by some dirty rat

we were both champion level, stake was 10,000, he beat me fare and square on the first race, so i challenged him to a rematch. he accepted and i was kicking his butt, when 30 feet from the finish line he quit the race !!! and with him went my chance to get my 10,000 back

chased him around for a while, ramming him constantly, then left him neg review

I can't even work out how to challenge for money which is a shame as I'm 2/2 for instant challenges... fear my stage 3 Bright Yellow Viper

Pull out the ethernet cable and do it offline against the AI

 

[fergie666]
