General GSW Questions

[Ned1956]

Howdy,

I've got a couple of questions.

1. In 9 out of 10 of my races, everyone uses their prizes to their advantage, peeling speed up strips - anviling people just after speed ups, etc... In 1 out of 10 of my races - when I do this to the other racer I get a, "You Stink". Am I missing something? The race is a race to the finish with the utilization of the prizes which add an element of strategy to the race not to mention luck which helps even out the skill. Am I being rude? And if so - how on earth do you inform your competitors that you want a full blown, no holds barred race?

2. I drive a completely stock cruiser. Is there any modification at all which will assist my driving? Faster, better handling, acceleration, etc...? I've often beat very tricked out roadsters and TUV's. My observational experience is that all upgrades are cosmetic in nature. Can anyone confirm or deny this with any data?

Keep the faith,

Ned

1) Some people just don't get it or do it to be annoying.
2) Opinions Vary. However I think most people who race a lot would agree that most of your winning ability comes from the driver not the car. I've made enough to buy and trick out fully 2 roadsters driving a stock cruiser. Then I bought all the fancy upgrades for my cruiser, doesn't seem to make a wit of difference. Others will tell you that cruisers are slightly faster.

the cart and upgrades dont make a spick of difference. its all the driver.

when i race and somebody says "You Stink", take pride in that. that means that you are getting them frustrated over something in a dumb game. when people tell me that i start laughing cuz no matter what they tell me will ever affect and ill let the win do the talking about "who stinks"

Yeah, it's all the driver; remember, by the time you get enough tickets to buy a roadster you've become much better through practice...
