That car killed everything. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* As a kid, the AWD made it so much more forgiving. And once you did all of the weight reductions and upgrades, it could decimate just about anything. It led to my buying a beat up old '94 black 3000 GT a few years back for $900(!!!) to fulfill the childhood fantasy. Not a VR4 sadly and it only survived a few months, but what a glorious few months they were. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MustardCabbage@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) And a stock viper for making money in the normal car race! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I always struggled with Vipers.

My friend and I used to play this religiously back when it was new. I used the GTO, him the 3000GT. We'd spend hours doing custom tuning and testing before saving our cars to memory cards and hanging out to race. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kiwifoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I loved my green GTO in that game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes, the green/white and white/green upgraded racing liveries are imprinted in my brain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kiwifoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Pure shot of nostalgia thinking about that.
