PS2 is obsolete and their graffix suck (ie rough edges on GT3). Get an XBOX instead.

Edit: Go to dccopyworld.com for copying DC Games. It's not hard. It's just like copying a PSX game back in the old days.

i think i beat all the team leaders so far. I cant seem to find any of the new guys or the old guys that have beat me. Man the Viper is slow, it thoght he would of been more of a challenge. Right now i got my impreza STi and got it all built up with a stage 4 engine stage 3 transmission. Im thinking of buying a new ride maybe a R32 but the power to weight ratio on the STi looks better, and i really like the handling.

i used to have it but i got txr0 for ps2 and after 1864 miles on a car you get engine 7, reinforcement 5 and muffler 8. HUGE power gains and weight loss. I just left the game on in auto pilot after a race while at work and sleeping. i have a R34 with 1200hp and it weighs like 2500lbs. SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry for late reply, yea now i got all the track unlocked. I spent all my money now on a R33 Modified. It looks like the only upgrade is HID and thats it. I got for rides now, S13 coupe S13 fastback, R34 and the STi. Is the toyota soarer any good? the price is relatively low and they seem to get good top speed. I keep loosing to a fast *** purple GTO, its a wanderer. his **** is so quick leaves me in 2 seconds.

have u already fully modded the STI? if u havent make sure that thing is fully hooked up. it should beable to out perform almost anything. if u havent unlocked all the engine and exhaust stages do what that one guy said and just leave the dreamcast on right after a race when the start menu comes up so u can put miles on the car and unlock the mods.

For Dreamcast, I'd definitely have to go with Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2. Got it a couple of years ago, and it really helped get me into my current car-obsessed state. That was probably the first time I gave a **** about horsepower. I was into RPGS and NBA2K, now all I play is driving games. I've pretty much beaten all the cars, and I just started playing Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero last month, so I'm playing the hell out of that, and GT3, which I got last month.

It's awesome, especially if you have the Mad Catz steering wheel. The driving system is a lot better than TXR 2. It's a lot easier to turn the car going through corners. You don't have to rely on horsepower as much to beat the compuer, instead you can just outdrive them. It looks to me like they rushed the 300ZX model though, but the other Z cars, the Skyline, and Silvias look perfect. You can even use turn signals, which is pretty much useless, since you don't have time to use them when you're racing, and the other cars in the road don't give a damn what lane you're trying to get it. Those bastards have made me lose a lot of races. :mad:

Oh yeah, there's a lot more cars, and plenty of variations.

nah i havent unlocked all the engine upgrades yet. im at 6 i think.

Well now im back at 2 my memory started acting all retarded and i had to restart it all over :( fuken sux but im willing to start all over. Right now i got a CRX for my first ride. wanted a levin but they seem slooow. So far ive only had 1 draw and 15 wins, preaty good and have no engine upgrades... only lighter wheels, clutch, tires, and other random shiet.

ok so win a race then when the menu pops out with the options to go to garage, race again etc etc, just leave the DC on? will it still run up my miles and unlock it all or give more money or what?

once u win (or lose) a race skip through the replay and after the replay there should be a menu that comes up where u can go back to garage or continue racing. just leave it at that menu and dont touch anything. you should be able to see ur car behind the menu driving in auto-pilot. so just leave it like that so the auto-pilot does all the miles. (note: i have never tried this i am just explaining this coming from a previous poster's experiance.)oh yea, can u save 2 different games on the same memory card? i feel like starting from the beginning and working my way up but i want to keep my current game cause so many hours have gone into it
