What are you up against? (I'm only level 15) I have an AC 427 pushing 700hp, will that be anywhere near competitive?

Also, B-Spec Extreme series Like the Wind wins you a Toyota 7 Race Car, thats the only one I saw on a list as a prize.

is it a pre 70s car?

i gotta get that toyota 7...

its a 1970...

Mister, what's up with the last nostalgia race. What is a good car to use? Maybe the Dome? My Buick Special and Shelby Cobra are no match. We're talking B-Spec here...

Before '79. Sport hard tires.

JoseBronx, not sure on that one, I have only looked through the car list a little bit. I bought a Hakosuka used.

B-spec mode is the dumbest thing ever. There is no way to win unless you give the stupid driver an over powered car. Why did they even put in this mode in the first place. I mean he stops after overtaking a car and slows down for no apparent reason. Whoever put this mode in should be fired.

I had a ton of trouble with that race in A-spec especially with Jensen Interceptor. But I used a Jaguar E-type Coupe for that race and barely won. For B-Spec I guess the only car I can recommend is the Lamborghini Countach if you have it.

If that doesn't work I can let you borrow a car.

Yep, the A.I. in this mode is appalling. They really seem to have rushed it. Horrendous driving techniques and braking/accelerating at the worst times.

Mister, yeah I am looking for a car that would work, maybe a Ferrari 512B? I don't have the Countach and he keeps beating my Buick Special, too light for my driver to beat. The Shelby Cobra keeps getting taken out by the Jensen. My A-Spec was easy with the Buick Special, 800+hp made it really easy.

The fact duke just skated back on the track like nothing had me 

Had that been me being brushed off my car would've fishtailed, ending up backwards and 6th.

The Buick is pretty difficult to handle. Maybe if you buy the full transmission for it and lower the gears it'll help with acceleration while exiting the corners. That might be the cheapest solutions right now.

I would say drop the top speed in the transmission to somewhere around 180.
