I have 0 credits.

With 800 credits, I get probably $10,000 or so. I get $130 or so per 10. I'd have to steal a pretty nice car to get $10,000...and the sponsorship money is almost guaranteed, a car is not.

I kinda feel bad accepting races against people that end up running 14's. Dunno what that BMW guy was thinking when he saw One-Sided. 14.7!

I gotta find a way to fool them about the speed. I'm thinking empty nitrous tank at least before doing a test n' tune. I think I'm still in the 11's though without it.

Oh yes, well now I have a ton of money to spend. Built up my sponsorship with handouts, gave out like 10,000+ of the flyer things, now I get $25 or so per credit instead of $3.50 or so for working.

Nissan Skyline GTR V-Spec II <---- I thought these were fast?

Fret not, Santa dropped off 5000 credits to me at least. It was enough for me to go from 15's to 11.3 @ 119mph.

This is great, I just got messaged by some guy asking my how in the hell I made my car so fast with only having 18k into it.

I like it when the game loads up my description and it just says a minimal amount of stuff. Stock everything, front mount, factory tires. No times or dyno sheets. It's easy to reel in the suckers with that one. 510 hp with tuning now.
