the point is not to have them... the point is they are free money... to buy what you want.. and that audi would get eaten online by GT or BMW or even the galardo =P


btw RX7 is one of the best cars in game as early as you get it..
and is hardly ugly...
audi good looking you on crack? ;) thats like a little round bug car...

I really liked the Cayman.. it just handled better than most cars. There were a number of "better" cars that I had that didn't handle nearly as well. The Gallardo was ok... but I still didn't like it as much as the porche. I never drove a lotus in my "career" game through blacklist #1, but when I drove one in the challenge series that car really rocked! It took turns at speeds that no other car I had tried could have come close to and it just felt fast as hell. I don't know that it was actually much faster than all the others but it sure felt fast. Only problem is it could flip over lol... because i'd do corners too fast and the car wouldn't just spin out like other cars but it'd go up on two wheels or flip right over..... fun stuff :)

How do you use the "bulletime" thing? I keep seeing flashes about it during the load screens, but my comp is too fast to read it ;)

Right now I'm #3 on the Blacklist. Got a C6 Vette (won), Viper (won), Aston Martin (won), GTO (bought), STI (bought)...and I think that's it. The STI is by far my favorite car to drive. So balanced in handling, and the AWD really helps if you get pinned in by cops. Instead of spinning your wheels all day you actually go somewhere. The GTO was more fun before the supercharger, the exhaust sounded so mean :D I don't drive it much now 'cuz the Vette & Viper are so much faster.

Every car has all upgrades on it, except the Aston & GTO. I'd sell the Aston 'cuz I don't want it, but it says "Kiss Me 'Cuz I'm Irish" on it :D
<--- Irish

I switch between the Viper & Vette for races, the STI is pretty quick but not fast enough most of the time. STI is great for chases tho, I should build another one in case the original gets impounded ;)

I've been up to Level 5 heat, that's fun right there. Highway isn't a big deal, as always. City gets crazy tho, esp if you slow down at all. They will run your ass into the wall and not let you away. God bless AWD + NOS :)

I can't wait to get the AWD Lambo (murcialano SP?): super power + AWD, hell yeahs!

Sorry to get off-topic here, but is it possible to play NFS:MW with a controller? What do all of you use? A friend of mine has brought over his X-360 several times and after playing PGR I need an arcade racer for the PC.

I am using an xbox controller that i than converted two usb at the wires soddering them and than wrapping some electial tape. than there is drivers on the internet so they will work correctly.

edit: CVSiN I was saying that my audi tt wasnt very nice looking just like an Rx-7

the audi tt i have it for purely persuit and milestones I dont play online just story mode dont plan on playing online anyways. I want to get the BMW M3 GTR or w/e it's called and I already have the Galardo the problem is I have to get used to it car seems to not like down shifting or braking fast it turns when you do kinda like 1st gear.

I use the logitech MOMO force feedback wheel, it's great for NFS :)

And to answer the question about how to use the bullettime thing, you activate the speedbreaker by pressing a particular key, you'll have to go into options to see what it is set to. I can't remember what it's set to by default. I have it set to one of the buttons on my wheel. You can activate it and deactivate it with the same button. It works similarly to the NOS ... it only works for a limited time and it recharges when you drive fast for a while. I hardly ever use it but it's really useful on police pursuits and every now and then if you are having a hard time with a bad hairpin turn or something it can help out...
