>Wow, the SCGT naysayers are coming out of the woodwork!  Well, even though I

>Out of the box:
>1) Far too forgiving handling (traction, too much understeer, no/little
>wheelspin).
>2) Poor graphics vs framerate tradeoff.  800x600 slows on a 450mhz, Banshee so
>badly with only 15 cars??  Many other titles fair far better.
>3) Only 15 cars in a race, nevermind how slow it runs.
>4) Raising tire pressure increases that side's grip??
>5) The sound balance is absolutely horrid.  Loud cars around you, while your

>6) *Originally* no dash.  What were they thinking?? Okay, by the time it

>The advanced option patch helped #1 quite a bit.  And the power users out
