.......I know I'm gonna get shot for this.

The Cerbera Speed 12, what a waste of cash!

It wheelspins in the first 4 gears upto about 120mph.... I want my money back!

It's not even that quick (except on the Mulsanne straight).

I won it too, only driven it once since and it's a but of a handful!

I was thinking about putting super sticky tyres on it and a bloody great wing on the back, but also maybe putting some ballast in there as well and shifting it rearwards.

I'll give the ballast thing a go when I get home, but has anyone tried it? If so, what's the tradeoff between grip and handling like?

Biggest waste of money:

3 million on the special black (and slow) Toyota GT-One
and another 3 million on the Nissan GT-1...

I wasted 6 million!!!!

The only thing I found you can do with the speed twelve is drive it with half throttle or less at low speed and then give it some welly when you're making progress down the mulsanne... with a supercharger on it it's got more than enough performance...

But then again, I'm only 16%, so I could be talking crap!

I won the speed 12 and used it in the supercar races too. It's driveable if you keep it on medium throttle until 4th gear then you can put all the power down. Once you get to grips with the car it'll widdle all over the opposition.

I bought the speed 12, then maxed it up to over 1000BHP then could not win many of the blackpool races. Just no grip. bought a speed6 thing with half the power which was much better. fun with no traction control.

Have you all bought full racing suspension for it? I haven't bothered with the supercharger, put a wing and slicks on it, and it' fine. You just have to be careful in 1st and 2nd gear

Buy the cars ones Fidgit!

I bought the R92CP Race Car, which wasn't a waste of 1.5 million because it is quick, I like to collect cars instead of selling them like my brother, and I now have a black R92 and a normal one. And I have over 80 cars, but less than 90, and inly have 4 special conditions competitions to go, all of which are hard (The difficulty is hard, my RS200 is quick so winning is easy, but not without its challenges.)

well, i have a 150 cars...

and your right, the Nissan 92 is better than the two 3 million specials (i have just the normal one), although the Sauber Merc is the best, just a shame it has an appetite for rear tyres
