ah. NOS was totally, totally key. i almost used a full tank of it on my one hot lap. :D . you all cracking on the cobra challenge yet? long gears + tons of torque + suck-ass tires + relatively unforgiving course == lots of fun. or frustration. i'm curious to see whether i'll have to go back for a second, faster time ;)

hey maybe some of you an help me...me and a few friends are trying to put together a database of the cars. We still need a few specs but some of us already sold or can't remember car specs. How full are your garages?...D

Where do you win the black cars?

there are a specific set of days when they show up in the used car showrooms...if you look back at this thread I posted on it before...but lately I have noticed whenever I get above 10 million in credits they show up again...D

I found out it was day 694. I missed that like 1,000 days ago.
I did the N-ring with the Cien and won the Polyphony F1, and have been b-specing a bunch of endurance races padding my $$$. Only about $5 mil to go...

ok i found my post...D
hey Toshi...I just hit race day 2001 and all the black cars were in the used section. I tried to buy them all but before I could get the last one it was updated and it was gone. I'm stoked because I missed them the first time...but I thought it was only a one shot deal?

The 787B is sick in all black :)

No wallriding in the last challenge - Right?
no wallriding in this last one, yeah.

jet, it's a 700 day repeating schedule, so days 694-699 modulo 700 will work. (ie, 694-699, 1394-1399, etc.)

You really need to be smooth and have good throttle control. Carrying speed down the backstretch before the last 2 turns is really key.
carrying speed INTO the backstretch is key. don't early apex! don't early apex! don't early apex!

:pirate2:

i'll log some hours this afternoon as i called in sick...
