NFS III: here's how to make it a REAL arcade racer (like Motorhead!)

The graphics in Need for Speed III are really the best. But the way the car
handles is not that good (to say it nice). Specially if you have been racing
Motorhead (the best (online) arcade racer there is) for a few months... Here
are some simple setup tips to get more arcade fun out of NFS III, without
having to mess in the car.viv files.

Pick a fast car (I prefer the Lamborghini Diablo SV, specially because it's
also one of the pursuit cars!).
Go to car-tuning and change the following:
Engine tuning -50% (yes, minus fifty!)
Brake balance 100% (uhuh, plus...)
Steering speed 100%
Gear ratios 100%
Leave the rest the way it is.
Got to the Driving assists (don't be ashamed: we are 'creating' the ultimate
arcade racer here, not a very realistic sim!) and turn Traction on.
Please, don't touch any other buttons: imagine using brake assist...
AAARRGGGGHHHHHH...)

That's it. For me, that is. These tuning options makes NFS III the best of
the NFS series. If you see it as an arcade game. Agree? Or not? Better tips?
Let me know!
