Level 30.

Just bought the 190E as a result of reading this thread.

Great car! Thanks for the heads up!

You can get that car as a prize car? Nuoh my god, what level do you get it?

You'll have to chose between the Daytona Coupe and the 330 P4, though... I mean, a P4!

Plus, that thing costs nine million, compared to the Daytona's five...

That 190 is a great car, and one I was excited to get. Hat tip for the 65 Mustang too. I would have overlooked that. It ended up buying a real blast to drive, and it's very competitive with basic upgrades. It's too bad you're given no data when choosing prize cars. You get the PI and some pretty pictures... and that's it.

Yep, agreed. Although I must admit lately I've been picking my prize cars based on value alone -thinking if I want one of the others being offered I'll just buy it later (like the 190E).

I also tried the Merc in Auto-x the other day, BRILLIANT! I think the stock suspension setup is spot on, so I haven't really tweaked it, other than camber angles. Has anyone tried to squeeze even more out of this bad boy?

Myforza.net is invaluable to me here.

Another great AutoX car is the VW Corrado. For some reason it has incredibly sharp corner response.

I picked this car as a level reward. What a fun car! Its not a car I would have bought on my own from the dealership. I was able to throw that car around the turns on Rally Di Positano and had a BLAST! I heard a lot of the perfect turn dings too!

Any cars really surprise you and make you smile after driving them for the first time?

Hmm..now you make think I should buy the car. Actually, I could just test it out in hotlap. Thanks for the recommendation.

If you win it, it already comes pre-tuned with things like a short shifter, beefier clutch, wider tires, and if I recall correctly, some weight reduction. The only real shortcoming that makes it tough (yet fun) against more powerful cars is the lack of top end speed.

I haven't done anything extra to mine except reduce the downforce in the rear wing and increase tire pressure to 32psi front and rear.

Glad you are enjoying it!

yeah, the top end sucks but for the little tight twisty tracks it sure is fun.

The ae86 is fun, becouse its 30 years old

It needs suspension & 185-205 tires an its crazy good,

upgraded it to 149hp an online on a short track, I got 1617ft in front of the 11 players on track LOL, You will need abit of throtle control

I'll have to give it a go. thanks for the heads up. I always thought it was just a drift car.

Damn, you guys are making me jelly. If it weren't for GT5 I would have gotten the Benz. But since Gran Turismo is littered with cars with don't need more than 1 copy of. I opted for the e30 M3.
Sooooo glad I came to the light and went with Forza. Time to enjoy more American and European cars!!1

I'm going to go home and do the same! I've never looked at it before reading this thread!

288 GTO is a beast in Stock! That car sounds like a beast especially 6000-8000++ RPM!
