im guessing you have an illegal copy since you mentioned that, but who cares, some of my games are illegal

You don't have to have an illegal copy to know that game producers are trying to get some more cash by discouraging piracy through limiting the online side of the game on the illegal copy.

Okey, so I have been playing this game for couple of hours now, I bought the first available BMW with the 40k start cash, won couple of races and tuned it, soon gonna get a new car, so suggest me guys a good Tier 2 car, and I'd like it to be less than 80k, I will collect total of 100k, around 20k for tuning.

I think the one I picked was the.. Audi RS4 or the Nissan GTR SpecV but I'm not completly sure.

If it was that one, then it was mind-blowingly fast. I remember whilst playing on Tier 2, the other guys had no chance against me.

Shift is also online playable on Xbox and PS3 aswell as PC.

Bought the game yesterday. It really worth the price, really.
On Tier 3, the guys can't stand the power of my lime green Lamborgini Murcielago fully upgraded. I spend like half of million upgrading that piece of garbage.

When I entered on Tier 2, I bought the Camaro. But, to be honest, it doesn't worth that much. It's damn pretty car, but it's too heavy, even if you install the weight reducer. So ahm... around 80k you can buy a Skyline. It's 70k and it's a good car indeed. After a few updates and tuning, will be even better. (:

Try doing other races than Time Attack. I opened Tier 3 without going to any drift race at tier 2. lolz
Try to earn the "extra stars" on the races. Those that you earn when you reach a certain amount of points doing precise and agressive moves.

Did you do the Works upgrade?

I did.

The Lamborghini is the fastest car in the game with the works upgrade, I think..

WRONG

I've found that they're actually the same speed, but I prefer the Lambo's handling to the Corvette's. American cars suck at going around corners, unfortunately. I have the best cars in the game though, anyway.

I'm guessing, if I sold all the cars I would have about $7,000,000..
All cars have full tuning + works upgrade, apart from the Zonda R. The Zonda R does not take upgrades.

I'd like to see what galleries other people have, so please post your gallery, so I can humiliate you with my awesomeness.

Lambo is definitely faster, as is the Viper. Corvette has rubbish handling, which is worse than that of the already crap handling of the Works cars like the Lambo and Dodge Viper.

I'm at Tier 3 and I'm using the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640, it's fully upgraded . I have problems with two extra stars; Spinning four opponents (keeps saying drafted or knocked out the race) and getting all the corners right. What I really like is those Car Battles. Those events are the hardest. You really need to take all the corners fast if you want to win.

I have some tips for those who are having difficulties:

- Change the camera view.
- Follow the line and keep your eye on the colors that are changing.
- You are able to stay on full speed on the first few red lines before a turn.
- When you start to take a turn, move left/right BEFORE you start accelerating in the corner so you can initiate a little drift.

im a precision driver, but i still get aggressive wen im not in first place, drifting really helps me catch up, i drift a car and then spin it off the track

... Apperantly my network isn't a good friend with EA Nation (the online service for Need for Speed: Shift) making me unable to play the game online...
It's a damn shame i'm going to turn it back into the store.. It was a damn good game apart from that connection error..
