can you beat my times?
all you have to do is to use a car with the traction control off to do a quarter mile time
then take a shot of the screen and send it in to get it verified

I bet I can, I have a Viper GT metalic silver with 2 green stripes up the middle, I also have every upgrade and best part for it, spent a pretty penny for it, but its worth it. So far its maxed out at 267 MPH :D.

it's harder to get a good quarter time with no traction control than it is to hold a button down... :D
p.s. my speed 12 would kill your viper in a race too... :rolleyes:

it all depends on the gearing really...probably 250mph+, but i've not really tested to high speeds...
i think i got it from winning the tuscan cup, but i'm not sure.
didn't know you could play it online...can you?

Yeah, you can, you just need a PS2 Modem Adapter, go under Arcade and look around, cause I'm for sure you can play online. I just need to buy the modem adapter... ;)

i did a bit of research, i don't think online play is available in gt3
gt4 will almost definitely have it though...
anyway, i've just done a little run in the speed 12, got up to 413 kph (256 mph), and then on exactly the same settings, i popped in a 1:06.523 lap on midfield raceway (a little slow, but i've not played in a while)

Ok, you can play online, just go to: Arcade Mode -> i.LINK Battle and thats that.
*BTW, my Viper can still beat your Speed 12 :P

i've just done a few laps on each of the tracks mentioned abpve in the speed 12
i'm not too happy with these times, but i'll post them anwyay
Midfield 1:03.530
SSR5 (wet) 1:23.716
R246 1:28.196
Apricot Hill 1:14.018
on paper, the Speed 12 should be easily fast enough to beat the Viper (the Speed 12 has a power to weight ratio of 1180bhp/tonne, compared to the Viper's 830bhp/tonne), however, a lack of front grip lets it down

Alright, I'll try, but I haven't played in ages, so I'll need to pratice, I might get some times up tonight, dunno though. I'm pretty busy playing Metroid Prime and Animal Crossing ;)
