I did! Car is not fully built yet though! Sounds similar to yours in hp! Need a few more dollars to bump up the power! Curious to see what you get out it!

[My Pocket Rocket]

267hp

Nitrous!

Awesome! I piled some more junk on the car and ran a 14.20!

Need to invest in some slicks! But at $47k, a bit pricey right now! I am spinning my tires through 4th gear!

Bone stock. 15.29.

Npbody has mentioned an LSD install yet ???
Any before/after LSD times?

I bought GT3 for Joe (ok.. and for me since I saw it had a Mini in it) and I must say I was dissapointed with it.... I'm guessing the Mini in teh new one is much better?

Typically, I pile on the junk on first then tune. When tuning this includes the gear ratios, suspension and LSD. It is tough to tune a car, add more power, then re-tune or make sure you have the same grip!

15.29 bone stock? I must have issues then, I thought I was much higher bone stock!

GT3 is cool, but I am thinking GT4 is where it is at! GT4 has a great option of loading up GT3 data, carries over 2 licenses along with up to $100k. I ended up starting with $110k which is nicer than the initial limit of $10k...

This thread is really sad isnt it .....................?

I just cant wait till 9th March so I can join in

[jamiep]

Me too!

[matt21]

yeah and me i feel left out

[CooperSAZ]

Found this link on our local MINI board!

The M3 comes in 3 versions (within GT4), one being the M3 GTR... You cannot purchase it, only win it! Check out the video below, it is ~54mb in length and it shows Stuck driving through Nurburgring with his M3 GTR. Gets your blood pressure going! Make sure you have the volume cranked up! Tie this into GT4, you can race at Nurburgring with a M3 GTR, now I have to win it!

[jordan]

I want it now im missing MINI im not playing any other gran tursimo games im saving my self when it comes through my front door hopefully on the 9th march

[CooperSAZ]

I'm lost!

What is with March 9th? Is that when GT4 hits the UK/GB area and Europe? I thought the game was already released in Europe? Maybe not! I would expect that you guys will start the crusade as well for the fastest MINI (in each model) when you get it!

Can't wait for challenge!
