Ohh-kaaayy, I wasn't implying any disrespect for his cars. I was simply voicing my preference in cars. Later on I took a shot at Nissan's build quality because I, for one, do not believe the common montra, "All Japanese built vehicles are 100% reliable." No car is 100% reliable. All car makers have a human factor in manufacturing a vehicle. Until the day comes when computers can design a car by itself, send the plans to another robot that gets materials and fabricates the whole thing, cars are going to have faults.

I live in California, I'm just overrun by stupid people who think they are building a car to go fast when all they've done is applied numerous stickers to the body, cut their springs, have a non-functional wing, and have so much camber in all four wheels that a BTCC car would be jealous. "Dumb little Civics" fit in that category. If they would admit that they are still achieving stock miles per gallon and are going for the look affect, they wouldn't be so "dumb." They never stopped to think however, that wings reduce miles per gallon ...

My friend has a 1992 Civic hatchback that is pretty cool. He tracks it and has done his modifications the right way. He's gutted the interior, put a Type R driveline in it, the body is clean and stock... even dinged up a bit. I give him credit because he's done it right and it hauls aahs.

My two cars are a daily driver 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit GTi and a 1969 Corvette Stingray that I am resto-modifying. The Rabbit I've modified extensively to be like a go-kart for street use. Graham's (my friend) Civic could beat me in that car. We're comparable drivers, but his Civic is just newer and more powerful. If we were to drive the same car around a track, we'd be within a second of each other. There isn't a whole lot of get-up and go in my Rabbit; just a cam upgrade. The suspension is where I've really put all my hard work into. The three cars that Twelv has listed could rip my Rabbit a new one. Maybe not in a very tight and technical course, though maybe so? There are cars out there who could pull apart my (when it's drivable) 383 cubic inch 1969 Corvette.

My brother, in my Rabbit, had a "ricer" in an Integra, challenge him to a drag race. My brother shook him off and started "warming up the tires" with his hand; motioning L-R-L-R. The Integra driver agreed and took the lead. My brother hung with him around lots of tight corners, lifting the inside rear wheel at times (what Rabbit's are known for) and staying right on the Acura's aahs. My brother told me about this later (I was not with him) and told me that he could visually see the Acura driver getting frustrated that he could not shake a car like a little Volkswagen Rabbit. My brother told me that he was so close to the Acura's bumper, and that he doesn't know my car as well as I, that I could have probably passed the Integra if I were in his shoes.

Now you see the kind of attitude I live around? Some random dude thinks his "tough 'Teg" could take a 1983 Rabbit. No, my modifications are not noticeable unless you know by eye-balling the stock ride height of a Rabbit GTi, the lowering and Falken Azenis are all that really shows. It is guys like this example that really make me want to slap my Vette together and then see who wants to play.

I like lots of cars. I'm not a redneck, nor am I shallow. I was in the United States Army and am only out because they broke my knees. I saw a lot more, in terms of personalities, in 8 months of the Army than many people see in a lifetime. I got along with just about every one too. I just know what I've grown up around and what I prefer. On a sidenote, even Graham is looking to replace his street driven Civic with something like a Camaro Z-28 so he can fully gut the Civic and go Honda Challenge racing with it.

Yes, yes, yes.. good post. The problem anymore is that a true "car enthusiast" is a rare breed. A car enthusiast to me is someone who loves all cars that are fast, especially cheap ones. Right now, the Honda fan-boys have a HUGE grudge against the SRT-4 because it's faster, cheaper, and so far, proving to be just as reliable as their Honda's. Their big defense is "IT'S A NEON, IT'S A GIRL CAR! IT'S GAY!" You see, the ricers battle the muscle heads. The ricers believe that putting on a body-kit with the name of something like "Dragon-Shogun-Samurai-Blitz-TRD-JBlood-Style", a 3 ft. tall spoiler, lowering the car until it's sitting on the bumpstops, chrome 20's, a Type-R sticker, and shaving your door handles makes you fast. No, not so. Now, the muscle heads on the other hand believe that anything mad in America is slow. If it's not a V8, it's the devil, pretty much. Now I'll admit, muscle cars CAN be intensely fast in a straight line, but, so can imports. The problem is they fail to see that. They also to fail to see that alot of people prefer to go somewhere OTHER than straight, which is where alot of imports begin to shine.

The ricers give imports a bad name and make us all look stupid, and the muscle heads make all domestic owners look like dicks. Car enthusiasts are the quiet bunch in between. They sit back and laugh at the little war going on. Car enthusaists are knowledgeable, and actually know what they're talking about. They're not prejudiced against any cars, because they love all cars. They love to see a 9-second 1/4 mile just as much as they love to see a 1.0g+ run on the skid-pad. I consider myself an enthusiast, even though I'm only 16. Now not to brag, but I consider myself pretty knowledgable compared to most kids my age. I actually plan on buying some sort of project car soon (some sort of Import, because, like the name says... I love imports). Once I get my license in about a week here, I want to apply to get an SCCA license and start going to track days and start doing some Solo-II. If I end up getting a RWD car, I'm also going to hopefully start going to some of the Vancouver Drift Club meetings. I got alot of ideas, and I wish I could start racing right now. But, it's all waiting on money right now.... :crazy:


Anyways, sorry for going off-topic, I just wanted to respond to 63's post. I'm only at about 15-20% right now in GT4. I bought it the day it came out, but... I lost interest in it pretty quickly. It just felt the same everytime I raced. Everything feels the same to me. I prefer LFS.

I do own a modified car myself, but does that not make me an Enthusiast?
I know more about cars than 94% of the kids at my school, but what do expect from high school teens nowadays?
 
well, the import vs. domestic battle rages on yet again, and again in the wrong thread. sorry to get back on topic everybody, but i had a question from 100% guys (or girls, whatever). what is the 75% conmpletion car prize? do you get any thing else cool along the way? oh, and what do you need golds on to be complete? im kinda confused. im about 34%, but i only get to play on weekends. long story.

Imports4Life, good point. and all you guys who already made that point, everybody could learn something from the real car enthusiasts.

And twelv- sweet rides. thats a vorthech charger on the S2k, right? i've seen those run, they're nice.

Nice shot of your 1 car and your other 2 friends' cars. I highly doubt you own those 3 cars legitimately, especially any of them free and clear.
Click to expand...

Dude all of you people are ****ing ridiculous!

1: Why is it not possible to have those three cars? My friends dad collects cars and has 2 ferraris, 3 corvettes including a '56, and a couple nice audis s-series that he (and my friend) actually drives. There's absolutely no reason why he couldnt own these cars...

2: Why does it matter if you think his house is small? I don't think it is. Anyways, why do you need a big house?! Unless you have 10 people living with you, a nice ranch which a couple bedrooms is perfectly fine...

3: Is it any of your business to be commenting on stuff like that. Chances are youre (maybe) 18 years old and have no appreciation for money. It's his business what he does with it... and more importantly HE'S HAPPY.

I have all the respect in the world for you Twelv. Even if I thought you didnt have those cars, its none of my business to talk s***.

However, I personally believe theyre all yours and I think that it's tight as hell that you have such a strong passion for cars, and that you pursue that passion. The closest that most of these ppl actually come to driving a sports car is in this game that we all love.

Keep on living your dream 👍 and dont listen to the stupid ***holes who talk s*** about the way you choose to live your life.

PS sorry for the vulgarity of this post but im fed up with this crap :yuck:
Also... sorry for using you as an example JCE3000GT i understand where your coming from with the internet thing, and this post was by no means intended to single you out, it was moreso to address all the ppl who had flamed him for the last three pages... but it was the closest one to the end of the thread along the lines of "your house is small" or "ive seen better cars" and the like, so i just linked a quote through your post cause it was convenient... nothing against you mainly the other ppl earlier

I am very skilled at GT4 I have over 13,000 a-spec points and 80 golds on my test. I was on vacation for 2 weeks when it first came out so I was pretty much home a lot while the wife was at work doing nothing but playing GT4.
Click to expand...

Is it really possible to get 100% and only have 13,000 A-spec points? You get 8,500 just for doing the missions. I find it hard to believe that someone could get 80 golds and complete all the missions but only get 4,500 points in the whole rest of the game unless it was just a push for 100% while B-specing everything.

And don't get your panties in a bunch. You have to expect some harsh criticizsm when you totally hijack a thread to brag about your cars (and the amount of land you own??? WTF?) then you say you're "very skilled" when you've been running a few hundred 10-point races.

Personally I think anybody who replaces the nice stock S2000 wheels with those shiny ghetto rims should be shot in the face, but that's just me.
 
Guys, have you noticed this thread only has 15-20 posts that are on topic?

I'm only 29.4% complete at the moment.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I believe THIS is a good example of how useful A-spec points can actually be. It was hard to really see the value in the spec points at first, but I'm growing to like it more and more now.

Congrats on completing 100% of the game.

I've been taking my time with it, and I'm somewhere around 27% complete, but I already have 12,5xx A-spec points and Zero B-spec points. I like how this game seems to hold a little something for everybody so they can finish the game however they like. Blow through it quickly with B-spec, take your time and drive it all yourself in A-spec, or perhaps a combination of the two. WHat you get from the game is what you put into it.
 
I sit at two different percentages. How's that for weird?

One game I am at 28.3%
The other game I am at 4.9%

I have two memory cards so I figured I would put GT4 information on both of them. This started when I had GT3 actually; one card is for cheats/hybrids, the other card is for a real game.

This way when people ask if I cheat I can say- Sure do! I can add in that I also don't cheat :D Talk about throwing someone for a loop.

When Mk's editor came out for GT3, I was all over it! I wanted to do engine swaps, bigger brake upgrades, massive increases in tire width, etc. but I didn't want to ruin my game in progress. I simply copied the garage I had onto another memory card, sold all the cars I didn't want to work with, added in the 9 billion credit and day 1 cheats and played with the cars in a second garage.

For GT4 my cheat card used the $100,000 credits and A/B license transfers from my GT3 hybrid garage and I went out and bought my real-life car, the 1969 Corvette Stingray. When an editor comes out for GT4, this is the card I will "hack-hack-weld-weld" with. This is the 28.3% card...

On my GT4 real garage, I bypassed the money and license "downloads," went though and got all silvers on licenses A & B and started the game with the cars I earned from doing that. IA, IB and S are still waiting for when I actually "need" them. You can do an awful lot of racing with only an A and B license. If the other card is 28.3% complete, that would mean this is the 4.9% card.

So- out of 200%, I am 33.2% complete.
 
I just unlocked the extreme hall, now THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!! This guy who started the topic said he finished the game in 2 and half a week..... I feel sad for you buddy. Do you have a life at all??? I just had a look at the Formula GT championship and that is 15 endurance races piled together as one tournament.... holy crap man, I doubt I'll ever get to doing that in 2 and a half years!!!

Lol.....it's probably a 10,000 Miles race. For example one of the races is 27 laps on La Sarthe.... and that's just one race out of 15. Of course you'll probably drive laps twice as fast as in the 1000 Miles competition, but the competition in this race is probably way harder.

Its 35 laps at Le Sarthe II in the 1000 miles. D*mn. I thought GT Champ was hard, but this looks a hell of alot harder.
 
Thats wicked 2 and half weeks and 100%
that is hardcore GT fan.
I don't think i could do that though. I still at 75% in Gt3 =[
GT4 currently at 22% =P
I wish i hit 100%
=) that'd be coolest thing ever.

I'd like to see a screen shot of his Status. 13,000 Aspec points indicates quite a few Bspec races, which isn't much of an accomplishment at all in my book.
