ok, As I posted this in the main forum and all I got was a "you are a doofus" from some dude, I'll try it here. As I have nothing to win anymore, I decided to win every GT40 flavor in the game (vanilla, chocolate, blueberry, lemon, strawberry, and the white one mite be a McDonalds cone :P) but, I did it with STREET cars! no race cars in here, as it would've been too easy, because the only race that awards you with this fantastic car is in the GT all stars from the amateur league. it might seem easy, but it isnt. you have to try with a car that has at least 900 hp on tap, because you need the brutality on the straights, otherwise they beat you to death. you are against some VERY AGRESSIVE C5R Vette, castrol mugen nsx, and penzoil nismo, that will blow you away at the slitest chance. the other two cars are rally stuff, so they are not a problem. I already had the yellow and white ones when I started it. and I started it whit a...
Mitsu 300Gt VR4. I tuned it and it ended up with 1080 hp, so I tried. Oh, how bad idea!!! altough I tried desperately to fine-tune it, the thing just wouldnt do. I was winning till the tires said otherwise. It EATS THEM UP!!! and with orange tires, the car is just undriveable, and ZERO brakes. besides, the thing just wont corner, blue rubber and all. till the very last race in tokyo I won the series, with a 5 point difference over the mugen. I got the black GT40, and I promisse I wont race to that level with the 3000GT again.
aw rite. next car to try was the R34 Skyline, a MUCH better car than the 3000GT, this one can corner!! and with some adjustments to the suspension, it went pretty good, constant 4 seconds over the others. the tires on it gave up pretty soon, but still, I was able to get first on all 7 races so I could skip the last three ones. I got the green GT40, and I also got the right looks for my skyline. god, love to see those replays. The thing got a little loose when on red tires, and they got on my tail and sometimes on my hood and fenders, but I was able to get rid of them. specially bothering this time was he penzoil nismo. And I was surprised to see them going 220 on the test course. even on some professional races the CPU dont get that fast.
next on was the Tommy Kaira ZZII, wich I tunned for this race. I hadnt touched it, it still was @ 500 horses. got up to 960. it was pretty easy to win with this one. it's almost a race car! it corners fantastically, even more so after I got into its supension and LSD. smooth as silk. again, a 7 race series and an ABSOLUTELY ****ING AWESOME blue GT40. no real comments here, as the were close but never touched me. 3 or 4 seconds ahead of the ever race.
for the last GT40, the red one, i jumped in my black body/black rims Darth Vadder-ish TVR speed 12. an absolute monster once it hooks up, the thing gets slow gos, but it goes from 150 to 200 as if it was from 10 to 15. it's impressive, BUT it was TOO floaty!!! even with 17 and 16.5kg in the too-stiff suspension. two races went by like that and the thing was just slippery, as riding in jelly. the sollution? its tires. it had the sports ones, and apparently it came with racing tires #5, because that ones were the only option left, and the only tires I purchased for that car were the sport ones. I put them on and the car got MUCH better, but the extra help came from the active stability management sistem, wich got the monster planted firmly, at the cost of three or four mph. but with 1090 hp on tap and a top speed on the test course of 248 mph, WHO CARES??? not an easy win, two or three seconds ahead of them every race, and they tipped me every now and then. oh, and man, i LOVE how this thing looks. its just too sinister.
all in all, it was cool. races are very damned close, and since they are more agressive in putting the horses in the ground, at curve exits and stuff they'll munch you out. you will get your vengeance in the straights, when they cant do anything but see you pass. it was fun, and it was worth it. I love the GT40. now, what else can I win? I was thinkin Speed 12s!!! whaddayasay??

use the codes...GT's good for wheellies but thats bout it
 
i can't remember why i didn't choose the GT40 on that series as a prize car...oh wait yea thats the one with the raybrig NSX and those other 2 Skylines and the GT40, yea i chose the Raybrig cuz i didn't have one of the JGTC NSX's yet, blast i'll havto go back and grab a gt40!:D
 
i got a yellow one, only has 402 hp, can do a 1:11 on midfield with super softs, lol. i can only manage a 0:29 wiht my oreca viper with super softs, and it has 1015 hp, lol
 
i did a championship..pro leage, the first one. none of the prize cars looked appealing so i just grabbed the GT40 race car, its pretty nice looking ;)
 
i'm looking forward to buying a gt40 in gt3, see how it looks in this game, i just got a model of a gt40 for cmas and i've been having a lot of fun building this one (this must be a shock to you cano, prob thought because i'm always talking about drift that i only like Japanese cars :-P)
 
I've got a White GT40 street car, and the Gulf Oil GT40 racecar.

Cano - if you're gonna try anything, try for the different colored Cobras. You can buy 'em, but thats just not as much fun. Believe you can win it in the Spider and Roadster in either the Ameture or the Pro series, but I'm not sure which one though.
 
GT40 ownz me!

I only have the red one though now I have been convinced by this thread to earn more. And I will of course use street cars because I dislike race cars! :irked:
 
yeah, it's nutz with rear tires that wide! They get grip so instantaneously but if you get the hang of it it can launch out of corners with higher exit speeds than AWD cars.
 
Ok, so i did amatuer all-stars with the save at the 9th race. I tried 15 times, but still can't get the gt40. how do you "select" it at the prize screen? Thanks
 
I'm surprised I've never won one, but after seeing a GT4 video with the new GT40, and reading this thread, I think I'll go hunting for one or two tonight :D

Careful! Its a new Ford GT, not a GT40! The company that Ford sold the GT40 name to for their GT40 replicas wanted millions of $$$$ to sell the name back to Ford to use on their new model and Ford (poor little $300 Billion company that they are!!!) wouldn't pay for it! So its staying a Ford GT. Besides which the original GT40 was named for its 40inch height, the new one iss going to be 42inches and GT42 just doesn't have the same ring to it! :dopey:

Ah, I see now. Thanks for the lesson. :)
 
Referring to the first post, dont try to get all the speed 12s. it is so hard just to get one in the color you want! The chances of getting one is 1 in 4, not 1 in 2, look at the silhouettes. Good luck.
 
You win the races of the championship and save before the last race of the championship. Since you have enough points from wining the other races just skip the last race and presto. You can choose the car you want. If it's not the GT-40 then just load the memory card again.
