Heads up, Newbie coming through...and probably then into the wall....

[Travi_D]

Hey guys, just thought id say hi and introduce myself. My name is Travi_D (well it says so on my licence plates) and i am relativley new to the GT community, having only recently bought a PS2. I am traditionally a nintendo buff through and through, but got a bit tired of their lack of titles, so i shelved the 'cube to pursue new things, and a im soooo glad i did. GT3 is absolutley awesome. That doesnt mean i'm any good at it, but i'm trying.

I am slowly working up my skills and my garage, having almost completed the whole beginners league. My fave cars in my garage at the mo are my T.M.E Evo, V spec r32 GTR and a slightly uncontrollable 810hp Viper. I also have an RX-8 and a evo rally car waiting for their turns to shine.

Well I've bored you enough. I hope to maybe one day contribute something that sounds smart, but i dont want to get the ol' hopes up for fear of failure.

Welcome Travi_D! I believe you do know that GT4 is on it's way?

 

[ceiling_fan]

Welcome to GTPlanet!

 

[truenodrifter]

welcome, ill give you a tip, if you didnt know already when using the skylines or any high powered turbo car, dont just buy stage 4 turbo because it has the most horse, use a stage 3 you will be able to run much better laps and keep your car on the course better as well. but other than that welcome To GTPlanet

Welcome to GTP.
STAY AWAY FROM PUTTING ABOUT 1000 HP ON a skyline and then racing it will only make you worse.

 

[Travi_D]

Thanks for the response guys. Don't worry about the stage 4 turbo's on the skyline, its only a stage two, i cant afford anything more. I have also learned about dynamis and handling being at least just as important, if not more than power. My Viper is living proof. Just touch the accelerator out of a corner, and you'll be looking at the skid marks you just left.

 

[truenodrifter]

stage 2, that might be a fun one to drive.

 

[heero 12]

Welcome. (Goddamn piece of *** rule of 10!!!!!)

 

[truenodrifter]

yeah the ten character thing does suck

 

[Travi_D]

Excuse my ignorance but......what rule of ten character thing?

 

[heero 12]

It's a rule where you can't make a post with less than ten characters, and it sucks.

 

[TriplePlay]

They also got rid of the option where spaces count as characters. Like filling it up with spaces.

Welcome and try out the weekly race series when you feel ready, it can improve your driving skill A LOT. I've only been doing it about 4 weeks, and already I am getting faster times.

 

[Jetboy.]

Welcome Travi_D! enjoy the stay at GTP. Tips: Don't buy an Escudo (Suzuki) unless you use Famine's settings. The Vertigo is one of the most potent racers you have never heard of. (Win it at the Amateur European Champ.) And don't sell too many cars for quick cash. Example: Trueno S.S.; Spoon Civic, Spoon S2000.BTW, love the thread title. 👍

Welcome to GTP, you may find that the GT series and this site start to take over your life. Sorry 'bout that, but once you start its very hard to stop.

On the subject of your Viper, wait until you get your hands on the TVR Speed 12, same sort of power but much lighter.

Have fun and keep with it.

Stage 2 is good. ;lol: no skid marks in this game though.
