Get an M3. Good all around car.

 

[Gerjan]

Normal or CSL? I can run a few extra race's to get credits for CSL?

i would save my cash and, go do some of the Missions, try the slipstream ones Mission 21-24: PAGANI Zonda Race Car '01 as they are quite easy compared to the rest and you get the Zonda race car for the pleasure 👍 . But if you are adment on getting a new car then maybe buy either as sugested an M3 or a second hand Skyline, fast and good handeling, the first car i bought was a Skyline and it served me well.

I'd get the HP Motorsports Golf.

One of the best hot hatchs IMPO. 35,000 and 550 odd BHP.

My suggestion: The 2004 WRX Sti spC, I don't remember what I paid for it, but I've done a TON of the races with it. You can do the Stars of Plesieds (spelling?) at the Subaru dealership and win a touring car. You also do a number of the races in the beginner, pro, and Japanese halls with it, and rallies pretty well too. You might have to put some money into it, but by that time, you will have plenty to work with.

If you follow the link in my signature, you can see some of the later races I did with it, and how quick it is (even with my slow Azz driving it).

It's an awesome car.

Either one. Once you get it you can run the M Cup and other various events. (RWD, NA, etc.)

 

[smellysocks12]

Wow, some bad suggestions in here. That HPA golf is garbage and can only participate in American competitions.



The only good suggestion was to get an M3. I'm sure it doesn't matter which one you get, they're both fast. If you spend the extra money for a CSL on tuning the regular M3, it will be faster than the CSL.

My suggestion is to make a back-up on another memory card though. Copy the data, buy a car, try it and if you don't like replace your save game with the backup you made earlier.

i agree....get the Subaru STi Spec C and do some mods, then do as many of the special conditions as you can, or if you perfer, you can get the lancer evolution 8 MR and do the same.....but if it was up to me i would look for a '00 Evo 6.5 TME :-D

I second what chevguy suggests

 

[95GTIVR6]

Spec C isnt bad but I would opt for the Evo VIII MR instead if i was to go that route

 

[FC3Sleepah]

NSX's do pretty good..get a used one..lol

 

[nissan350z]

do not listen to smellysocks, the hpa is good car to start out with, plenty of hp and good handling, I bought it

 

[Mr.Slow]

Technically speaking you don't need to buy a car or even mod any car until you are a touch over 50% . So my suggestion is to buy nothing!.

With the prize cars you will have plenty of races you can run and win until then. A-spec points will go from 1 to 200 depending on the race and the prize car you use. Most will fall in the 10-50 point range.

See this thread https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=67134

The honda dualnote is a very good (handling and speed) prize car for a beginner.

 

[JTSnooks]

The '04 GTO is relatively cheap, fast, and with the leftover money you can buy a lot of upgrades and make it faster than just about any stock car in the game. Or, get a Viper SRT-10. Less leftover money, but it's very fast stock, and when tuned is one of the 3 fastest production cars in the game.

Let us know what you settle on...

Nonsense. Mine has an aftermarket turbo from HPA - well over 600bhp - and to solve the turbo lag, all you do is shorten 1st gear. Handles good, stops good, goes even better!

Oh yeah, and it backfires as I leave the start line. 👍

 

[tubago]

I've tried the HPA golf R32 and it handles like crap. That was the firs time a saw a 4wd with aids on handling worse than a fully tuned viper with no aids.
I tried it on the Tokyo course and just drifted every corners.
I only buy it again to have all the cars.
HP isn't everything.
There are cars with less HP much better than this one i.e. the DB9
Besides this, the cars is slow and have a short gearbox and have a bad acceleration

Could be your settings need adjustment

 

[s12ken]

I agree with most of the M3 suggestions, go with an M3 CSL, tune it up, then when you win the M cup, use the GTR, it's hella fast and with some beefy torque too. after that make enough to buy yourself a MCMerc SLR... NIICE CAR!

 

[Mr.Slow]

I bought the RAM today. It is the second car I have bought (at 59.5%). The first one was an MX-5 at 52% (could have waited longer but was bored with the rallies at the time)

 

[Crash]

The M3 would work great. While you are using that though, I recommand that you look in the used car dealer for a Evo 7 GSR and tune them up a little bit. They are fast and very fun to drive, plus you can use it to enter into Japanese races and the eventual Evolution Meeting race.

 

[thebindley]

be different, get a holden monaro and tune up the handling, get some nice BBS wheels 4 it, do up the power a bit, beautiful car, goes hard as well, a proper V8muscle car

 

[Kutscher80]

Get yourself the M3 CSL ... win the M Mastership

Tune up the M3 GTR a bit and run 200 Miles EL Capitan and win the Minolta Race Car

 

[Gerjan]

Just to let you guys know : I bought the M3 CSL!, because most people here said that was the way to go
