Holy crap the last race in profesional mode is hard! even my 787b with the biggest turbo is barely keeping up with that damn minolta toyota and its still only a 7 point race!! i got 7 of the races done (coming second in the first race). Im so glad you can exit the races to go and save it unlike GT3 where you had to sit there and do them all in one sitting (or leave the ps2 on and let the motor burn out, which ive done twice).
I still cant drift well. I think after i open up the rest of the game ill start practicing. i bought my s13 silvia and did all the same mods as my real car and (tried) drifting that. didnt work. I wish i could drift like funk. . .slicks all around! im still using sports tires. oh, dont put sport tires in front and comfort tires in back! spin city! Camero SS with 600+hp and NoS. . .fun car to get sideways on El Capitan.
