NFSPU: next car to be released

I was just snooping around the EA web site (through an anonymous account
so it's public domain) and went to the folder where the past three cars
have been at.  There's a new file, GTSInstall.exe.  I downloaded it, and
opened it in winzip and it appears to be the 928.  Unfortunately, the file
seemed to be bad so I couldn't view the readme file to see what it said.

Yup, it's the 928GTS. I got it from http://www.3dfiles.com/. There was no
readme file with it, just a self-extracting archive to add it to your NFS
cars.

For anyone who complains about difficulty in controlling the oversteering
Porsche models in NFS, you'll love this one - it understeers in almost every
situation. I found myself wishing for some drop-throttle oversteer just to
get the nose pointed the right way, but no way... It also seems to have a
lot of suspension droop when doing those outrageous jumps, but at least it's
easy to control when it lands, even if you're not quite lined up right.

There's also a demo of something called "London Racer". It's a simple
NFS-type circuit racer, but IMO not even as good as the first NFS. More
detailed graphics, but worse gameplay.
