IMO, remove the plates, BUT find a way to limit the cars top speed. Obviously going 240 like Rusty did in that Nextel test is absurd, but 205-210 is IMO the upper limit as far as top speed goes.
However, somebody else on another board came out with the cars and tracks are infinitely safer so they can go faster argument. That grinds my gears. Yes the cars and tracks are safer.....but drivers still get hurt or worse around the word. Racing isn't ever 100% safe (nor will it ever be). Just because the cars are safer doesn't mean they should run 240 or 250 or whatever they'd run without plates. That's asking for trouble. Carl Edwards got into the fence WITH the plates and we all know how fast they were running in 09.
Bobby Allison went into the fence unrestricted. That was with 1987 cars and tech, running at around 215. Now imagine what the cars would do with today's tech, running 220-230?
Remebmer, Rusty went 230mph in 2004 in a private test and said the radio cut out at that speed (I think it was), nine years on and we have an uglier car but a faster car due to tech advances. 200-210 is as fast as they need to go.
Of course the ONE car I want (Phoenix) never spawns. Whereas the car I got (Ruiner) is everywhere. No I won't go into a mission just to get a car thank you when R* switch up the missions and make the boundaries smaller (see Boneyard)
I'm using my cheapest garage car as a rolling bomb to deter griefers. Somebody tries to run me over? Hop out, hit left, fireworks. Hopefully they get the message
Yeah I loaded it up with stickies, parked it outside a store and waited. First guy to run out and try to get in got blown up. I'll admit it was mean but.....also darkly hilarious
You can only own one property though. I managed to evade a 4* wanted level by using the train tracks. Problem is I can't borrow a car now to save my life....and I need 388k to get my 400k apt
Almost, ALMOST have 40k, 1/10th of what I need for my ideal apartment.
Survived three 7k bounties too. How does the AI know it's me jacking their ride, manage to call Lester AND put a bounty on me in seconds, is there a magic technique I don't know about?
As for people whining about being killed, I had a 5k bounty on me, came out my garage, this guy shot me and collected it. I chased him down giving him the finger and he asked wtf I was doing. I told him I was giving him a LA how are you doing?
EDIT: Lolwut, Futo gets me 1337 if I ding it up. Right then.....
Okay how? Most I've come across on PS3 is 10-15k for a win and I'm usually mid pack here. I am however liking the fact I can just go off and do my own thing if I want to. Though I'm wondering how I'm going to get 100k or so for an apartment given my lack of epic win skills (though I had a race I so nearly won last night around the top of the map)
I wish I hadn't picked my starting car though (Dominator, Mustang-type one) as I got a free Elegy and now ran out of garage space when there's so many cool cars to get though.
I feel like playing with you lot on PS3 at some point. If you spot some guy in a cowboy hat in a pink Elegy charging across the map.....yeah it's probably me. Or a black and red Dominator
