bang for the buck go with the skyline v spec II or whatever, it's the last skyline in the line up, soop it out and get the biggest turbo and with a little learing on the handling it will win all through the amature series and some of the pro. and it will definitaly beat the german series you are talking about. so do that, then use the skyline to get the f car they were talking about in the super speedway enuro, then use that f car and do the seatle enduro and with the F687/s, then you will beat every race and be set to beat the game. i'm in this process now, i'm on the third step. so good racing, go with the skyline
