There you go, I gave your first challenge a try:I agree, sadly... :/
Well done with the N.A. 300 ZX
Challenge idea proposal: what's the lowest car able to beat the Lancer Evo IV, the unfairly worst opponent in Normal Cup? On Deepforest for example, or GVE II ?
Or take a Demio LX G-package, and try not be lapped by the NSX on fast tracks![]()
Nope. Just tried it (been a while lol) and i got 2,2,2,2,4 (hit the chicane on SSR11, lost to the RX7 Aspec, was gonna get 22223 otherwise) vs NSX and TRD3000GTBut, after doing this, I really wonder if an excellent driver wouldn't win the cup, against he NSX, with this very good Wagon.
So, won a hard-fought TRD 3000GT from the A License, upgraded it, of course, then reverted it all back for the Normal Cup, but it doesn't let me in.
Crap, did I ruined my chances with that car, then?Not every upgrade can be unequipped, things like port polishing, engine balancing, and weight reduction are permanent.
Those cars you mentioned are all the "Special" 500k ones? I've also read lurking around that some cars can enter into the Normal Cup while still considered "tuned" but labelled as Normal, IE: a won Dedicated Racing Car like the Chaser from GT Cup (That one doesn't work, but you get the idea).Yep, it's "ruined" since you won't be able to remove some of the parts.
Unless you wish to complete the game with just one car (which is impossible), you'd be better off having a car for all high power events really.
Supra RZ, GTO Twin Turbo, Skyline R32 and R33 GTR are al viable late game, but it would be much better to have weight reduction done to them (and that's a permanent upgrade)
Permanent upgrades are: port/polish, engine balance, displacement increase, weight reduction, racing modification.
Anything else can be removed in order to participate in the normal cup.
Wait, wait, I'm confused.Nah, road models tuned to the max. All of the ones i've mentioned get over 750hp even without the permanent parts.
As for the LM Editions being able to enter the Normal cup, that's untrue. The only cars who could be considered "tuned" are the TRD3000GT and the Nismo 400R. But those are still road cars, so provided you don't aply any parts to them, you can enter the normal cup.
Yeah, thank you for your response.Is considered normal any car that's not racing modified (has the [R] in their name) or a bonafide race car (LM Editions). As for the normal cup, not a single part has to be installed on your car to enter, and it needs to not be a racing model. Exactly as you meant by pure.
