Ok, I've read through a lot of the info on the site so I am still a bit confused on how it works. Yeah, I get the jist of it but I'd like some in depth understanding of the game. I've been playing it since sunday and I just don't get it...

what do you need to know?

What I have figured out is this:

Get a security system for your car.

Don't bother trying to gank cars, carjack, or rob houses, its a waste of credits until later in the game... use those credits to work, make money, race, buy parts, and pimp out your ride... :)

Well, what i'm trying to figure out is how much level really effects your game... It bugs me how I can't touch some people or how I can't get certain mods... I need to figure out the level system so I know what to aim for.

Level is a huge deal. You can get better mods like higher boost upgrade, weight stage, etc.

Certain mods are only available for certain cars. Right now more mods are around for honda's and such, although the american cars are much more powerful.

The Levels are the main part of the game... do you know how to race? Because thats the only way to increase your skill level... and it kinda sucks having to race 20+ times just raise your level, especially when your new and lose most the races...

best bet would be to challenge the lowest price class people you can. I think they cut it off at a certain percentage of what you can and can't race. I mean, right now I'm at around 90k net worth, and I pick on the people with 70k net worth for racing... simply because there is more of a chance I'll win, I still lose alot, but less then if I were to race the 90k=110kers... :D :) I'm a big bulley

I try to race people without superchargers/turboes... try to catch people as they get new cars that havn't been modded too much, I have never lost to a naturally aspirated car with my 670+ hp Mustang Cobra (Supercharged, with NOS).

I have only lost about 6 races total, and 5 of them were when I was challenging others.

is there any set number of races you have to do to gain the experience to buy your way to the next level? thats what i am confused about.

yeah, if you go to "my garage" look next to driver level, then there should be a % next to it... once that gets to 100, then you can buy the next driver level...

Man, I got sniped... I bought a car and then people who were higher up than me challenged me and killed all my money before the tuner shop page finished loading! When I tried to buy a turbo the page said I didn't have enough money.... Arg, I've got to be faster

Hehehehe... I'm on 56k at home, but in my free time on campus I use their uber-high speed to do most of my business... at least when I was starting, now it doesnt matter.

I just figured this game out. Won 3 races in a row :) . Anyway, the dyno, try to set the green bar to 13.5 for a non force inducted engine, and 12.5 for a super or turbo charged one. Just look at your power rating and percent thing when you tune it, and if the PR goes up, and the percent gets closer to 100, your doing it right.

which is better super or turbo charged? and what should i get to set up my car with NOS?

Koosh
02-27-2003, 09:15 PM
Whatever your car can get... I haven't seen a car that can be either Super or Turbo charged... most just have one option.

You don't need to buy anything to get the car NOS ready... just buy the kit, and some Nitrous and your good to go.

whats the dyno say on that hoss? 250? 275?

Heheheh.... I just got a new vette Z06, and my HP dropped by 60... from 1020 in the Charger to 960 in the Vette... dangit!:D But hey, at least I gained some more maneurvability

cris8762
02-27-2003, 09:24 PM
i dunno wtf ur talking about but that percentage thing is at like 98.89 percent..is that good?

oh it's 268..is that good or not?

Koosh
02-27-2003, 09:28 PM
yes, thats fine... I'm just making fun of your car choice :)

With my cars, I had a 66 Dodge Charger, supercharged with all the goodies at over 1000 horsepower, now I have a supercharged Corvette with 960... meanwhile you have a Supercharged Honda with 268!

(yes I know, it was a cheaper car, and you probably don't have a stage 3 supercharger with stage 4(I think) nitrous on it either...)

cris8762
02-27-2003, 09:38 PM
yeah i'm pretty sure everything is stage 1......how do i go up stages?

Koosh

RACE RACE RACE!

Gain driver experience, then upgrade your driver level... Then at the tuner shop go to "Upgrades" or something... whatever is at the bottom of the page. There you can upgrade the security, port and polish, weight reduction, Nitrous, and Boost. All security is available at any driver level, the rest require you to increase your driver level before getting them...

which is better, the Zex Smart Nitrous in Chrome Tank Nitrous or the NOS Universal Kit 50 Shot?
