Re: Cars to aim for

I was looking forward to the RS200 and to my shock i still want to get hold of a Audi Q7. I'm not a fan of the big SUV's being in the game but it's a diesel (in a racing game lol) and it has over 700 ft lb of torques!!

Re: Cars to aim for

I think prob the Bugatti Veyron and Lambo Reventon are my top aims, but along the way I hope to get the Porsche 911 GT2, and Ferrari 430 Scuderia.

My best car at the mo is a Lambo Gallardo, tuned to the top of Class A

Ive got both Lambo's and the Gallardo is proving to be the better car for me.

Re: Cars to aim for

For me it's the 430 scuderia, an amazing car.

I have it already in the game just tuning it now, I've driven the standard 430 round thruxton and it's amazing, they now have a scuderia so I will be going to drive one soon :0)))

Re: Cars to aim for

I obviously haven't been aiming that high... I wanted a Focus RS...

Bagged one at Auction on Wednesday for 10000cr and thought I'd got a bargain. Turns out you get one given a bit further in

Well the BMW M6 is another fave of mine. I sold my Real BMW M3 CSL bought the Real Focus RS and kept a few ££ as well, the Focus is great value after a BMW!!

My Fave car on the game is the Audi R8 in red (V8) hope to change up to the real thing sometime next year. may also give a Nissan GTR a drive too?

I did the exact same thing with the Audi R8 and I sent it to auction but forgot to set a lowest price and someone had it for 1,600CR!

Try driving it with the traction control off and you'll be amazed at how much understeer the game tries to recreate!

Re: Cars to aim for

I've been trying to save my pennies and not get a car unless I needed it for a certain race - so far I've been awarded the Veyron & Reventon for hitting a certain level.

Currently only up to 30 though, I'm hoping a few R class cars are coming my way soon.

For me the cars to "aim for" are the VIP cars (since I don't have the VIP pack). Hopefully T10 will release the VIP membership on XBL but my real-life favorite car (Porsche 997 GT3 RS) is on there and I oh so wish I could get it!

As for cars to aim for most of the good cars are gift cars for leveling.

The Mercedes CLK-GTR no longer has aero upgrades nor a monster motor, that was one of the cars I had high hopes for. I've got a bunch of cars in my garage that I haven't driven yet. Still waiting to unlock alot of the free R1 cars (I'm almost to lvl 40).
