Man that game is addicting. GT3 should be a million times better too! The S2000 in TERZ sure is a twitchy bastard. Not really that great. My Mitsu Lancer with 4WD pretty much eats it up.

Anyone else an Extreme Racer junkie?

Well, guess what I'm doing right now. I'm rolling around in a black R32 with 993HP weighing in at 2789 lbs, which is a 2.8 lbs/hp ratio. That is the fastest available car for me at this point in time. This game is frustrating though. You get to a point where there's mostly wanderers left, and most of them refuse to race you. Then all you can do is drive around, racing cars you've already beaten. I don't know how to end this misery. There's actually a faster car, an RX7. It is 887 HP weighing 2430 lbs with a 2.74 lbs/hp ratio. The only problem is that it has too much tire spin when you use the regular controllers, which make it very hard to drive. Did you finish the game yet?

Not even close to finishing yet. Only had it 2 days. I have a maxed out Lancer and an almost maxed out S2000. What should I go for next? Supra, Skyline?

Driver,

I think everybody is dying to get their hands on GT3. It should be pretty good.

TrojanHorse,

I would go with the R34. It's easier to drive cuz it's 4wd, and you can max that over 1000 hp. You're going to need all of that to beat the big boys later on. The S2 and the SSX are sitting in my garage all maxed out, but it's just too weak to go up against the tougher cars.

not yet, I'm concentrating on GT3 recently, just 2 more endurence to go...
I found it's difficult to beat those wanderers, they always refuse battling, damn, i've wasted so much time on fooling around with them.
There are 400 cars in total, i remember it's now 379/400 which means 21 more cars to go in which 20 of them r wanderers...

I will finish TXRZ after GT3 and I gotta find the game review of it (how to find those wanderers who accept battle).

Good luck!!

Just my .02 but here goes. I've logged a few hours on TRE0 and it seems like everything kicks my butt on the long straights. I have a Skyline (R32) that's around 620 hp and I just can't keep up on the long straights. Anyway, I have the demo for GT3, the only cars it has available are a race prepped NSX, a Saleen Mustang and the glorious Honda S2000. The engine for this game is amazing and the graphics are the best I've seen yet. That's saying quite alot since I've been dissappointed with my PS2 as a whole. GT3 is awesome.
