        While possibly "over"-e***d, I follow the original poster's
sentiment - I'm very much looking forward to this, too.  I was VERY
impressed with Powerslide and if they can just improve it a little and
make it all believable, it'll be a BLAST.
        I also agree with an earlier poster that since all we have
right NOW are screenshots and no real sense of the physics, the
screenshot is all we have to go by.  Therefore we can't intelligently
even GUESS as to the physics, with the exception of hoping they're at
least on par with Powerslide.
        That said - the screenshots ARE awesome.
