**What was your first car** (GT4)

[top fuel]

I know there's a whole tonne of posts on GT4 now... another one won't hurt!!

I used the credit transfer feature and bought a Gunmetal BMW M3

[bigjimmy]

Red 80's RX-7. Im not cheating with a credit transfer.

[The DJ 27]

Transferred the credits and bought a very nice black Nissan 300ZX (used). Spent most of the rest of my cash on modifying it. Currently running about 455bhp. Bit heavy though.

Some American saloon thingy, tweaked a bit.

Did transfer my GT3 stuffm but only after doing my licenses. I just wasted the 100k I got, and vowed to continue earning as usual.

I felt that way I got to play a bit without ruining the 'purity'.

[jsr]

Mistubishi Evo (2nd hand) - not cheating either!

Tuned up to 440+ bhp, but suffers HUGE understeer. New car that grips will come soon!

[Plotloss]

Some Pontiac Concept affair.

Goes nicely with the engine upgrade and some other bits.

[DustyC]

Starting from scratch and low power and building up so I can experience it all.

Mk2 CRX VTEC (si-r)
147BHP for first championship and then tweaked mildly to 167BHP to compete in the Jap compact championship.

Moving on to FR or MR car next, possibly Elise 190 thats just popped up for a mere snip at my local dealers!

I used the credit transfer from GT3.

'99 Skyline GTR. Used the rest for Tunning. Got everything apart from the bigger Turbo's.

Did some races and then brought the Stage 5 Original upgrade turbo. monster at 727bhp!!!

[sj78]

No money to transfer - so got a 91 Celica in manky gold and tuned it up to about 210 and got it stripped out.

Got bored and got a S14 which is now at about 320 and wasted a Lotus Carlton and RS200 before I went to bed last night

[beastieboy]

did my b licence, got the lupo, sold it bought a silver civic type r. did a couple of races. saving up for something awesome. no credit transfer for me. part of the fun is starting with something that isn't a ball of fire, making it quicker and then moving on to something new.

[taffstalini]

Cheated and got a TVR 350C with a racing exhaust.

Awesome!

got the lupo, sold it...

WARNING!
Dont forget there will be those "Lupo challenge" type races. Go to the manufacturer and check before you sell any car. Saves having to buy it again later.

I won a Nissan van pieceashit and a Italian Ladawannabe last night as well as the Lupo. Won't sell them till Im sure I dont need them for another race.

Sometimes you cant buy these cars again and have to work out how to win them!

BTW: I know Im gonna be in this for the long term!

[Plotloss]

Never sell cars, earn the money if you need it but dont sell cars.

[DustyC]

If only it were like that in real life, I long for my 2.0 Cortinas back!

[STL-AL]

The first day I played it I copied over the licenses and credits from GT3 and went on a shopping spree: bought a Caterham Fireblade, Lotus Elise and new Golf GTi. Ran straight off to the nurburgring...

Soon discovered that any talent I had for GT was shot after too many months of playing GTA and decided that a big element of satisfaction is gained from doing it the hard way and working your way to the top; so I cleared my previous save game, restarted and bought a 1983 Honda Civic. Of course I garnished it with a turbo and nitros!!

STL-AL

[Supersonic]

Crystal Topaz T350C

[neil_cardiff]

Hmm...

good point. i will remember that for the future. however, i did check to mke sure it was available to buy should the need arise !

[thetruemackie]

I got a '91 R32 skyline GTR.
I didn't want to spend too much even though I did the credit transfer. cr15k and 308bhp. Not sure what to get for FR, MR and FF races though, tuning a 1.4 Lupo could be costly.
