I need a ringer

[nice shirt]

I need a piece of **** car that can smoke anything. My friend always brings his memory card over and has these crappy looking cars that smoke my best ones. I need some POS car, that I can buy, fix up, and kick butt. Any suggestions?

Lotus Europa 👍

Drving aids off will do it for you with any car, well maybe with a tuned car

 

[route_66]

what is your friend using? I'd suggest some, but if he's got an 800hp monster then telling you to use a fiat isn't going to be much use.

try the hyundai clix, you win it in the hyundai event, its small,tall 'n' stupid lookin but its got over 500bhp fully loaded with max downforce and is 4wd, it also goes on dirt well too

also try the suzuki gsxr/4 maxed out and downforced its a rocket and will smoke 500/600 bhp machines

I totally agreed with Route here. Can't give you blind suggestions unless we know your competitions are.

Try racing him in Arcade cars. Maybe he's just righteously kicking your ass.

 

[Thirdeye]

I'll second the Suzuki GSX-R, that car can smoke cars with twice as much hp sometimes.

 

[JParker]

Ginetta G4 maxed out. Definate sleeper car.

'62 Buick Special. At first glance, the thing looks like the old junker my high-school English teacher drove, but it goes like a bat out of hell. I think it's 586 HP stock. A couple suspension and drivetrain mods and soft tires are all it needs to blow the doors off just about anything. I haven't even touched the engine.

Third this one, and Duke's comment as well... So, what are you/he using? And what's your funding? We don't want to break your bank..

how about you get the f1 car and smoke him no matter what. b-spec the 24hr race on the ring. leave the ps2 on while you go to work/school/sleep whatever just leave it on and then come back with 1,000,000+ credits and a new f1 car.

 

[slo-car]

Try racing him in similar/same cars... screw a race if he uses 850 hp and u got 300.

 

[skicrush]

What are your "best?" I mean, since his cars LOOK like crap, if you're losing to ANYTHING that looks like crap while driving a fully tuned C5R, Calsonic Skyline, or Arta NSX or the like, you have no hope. A Tommy Kaira ZZ II is up there, too. As fast as but NOT technically a race car. But I digress. What are your best cars? What are his POS cars?

I beat my friend in a race in real life with a VW bug, him driving a CRX.

It's usually a problem with the driver

this helps

i know i know! use the dhiatsu cuore

Good point. The problem with a car that isn't performing well is often found behind the wheel.

still NFI what his friend has...

try maxing out a F1 and adding full downforce....

I am guessing that he is just better than you tho!

i have a couple of questions. first, i always see the word/abreviation pwnz on the internet. what the hell does that mean? i find it very annoying because i think it means owned in the text of claiming supiriority or defeat, but sometimes it makes no sense. second how is fiat pronounced? is it like fee-aht?

Don't know about "pwnz", but I've always pronounced Fiat that way, or "FEE-ot", with the emphasis on "FEE"

 

[Chris Criswell]

Best sleeper car in my opinion is the Suzuki GSX-R/4 Concept, you win it in the Suzuki Manufacturer races.

eh: how did this come about?

anyhow.. pwnz does = owns

and fiat is pronounced pwnd! (or fee-at)

pwnz is part of a language lil' internet hacker kids that arent old enough to shave use to look "cool". I am guessing that it started from a spelling error, you will notice that the "p" is right next to the "o" on your keyboard. another common one is "teh" which is another misstype that has been picked up and used.
Some people (usually adults or at least past teens) have used this "language" to mock the said hacker kids inept attempt at being cool by miss spelling words and then find themselves doing it almost automatically. I am in this category. at first I did it to mock the "coolness" of these kids, now I just do it automatically and really have to think to stop myself....

spell checker has ruind our lives!

and then theres 1337 5p34|{.... but thats another story all together
hope this has helped

i know it's off topic but - Explain please (Plz? lol) also the tendancy of some people to do this:-

11!!! 111!!!

What the hell does that mean?

And so the post has some point, I recommend the Amuse S2000 R1 (sorry HiSpeed I know it's yours really) as a mid range "ringer." Will happily toast Rufs and NSX's all day.

More like !!!11111

It's just when people whack "!" alot and eventually let go of shift, often done mockingly against little "1337" munchkins

1337 5p34|{ = leet speak. its hacker talk again used by lil' kids. you just replace ordinary letters with numbers or sybols that look similar. and once again alot of people who are older and "wiser" use it excesively to mock these lil' hackers (or h4x0rz)

 

[CombatWombat]

Here's a silly question: how are you using cars from your garage in multiplayer?

Just plain split screen? I've only tried the two PS2 + two TV's route and it definitely didnt let us use our own cars.

..cant stand that split screen garbage.

Thank you kindly (Fragmatic too). The internet can be a very stupid place.

Skyline GT-R heavy tuned and fixed right with the transmission ratios and turn driving aids off
you should light his ass up

 

[Jetboy.]

Skyling R31 GTS-R (The FR one with a turbo) Smack about 500hp onto it, add a spoiler, tune the tranny, and keep the stock rims. (This is essential; we still want to keep a sleeper/grandpa car effect here.) Then you can own him.

I fit the "older" if not the "wiser" and my vanity plate on my Corvette is 1M F457 just to stick it to them...
