Isn't Viper racing sort of like this?

What would people think of an ultra-realistic high performance car sim?

Something like a Porsche, modelled very realistically with regards to
performance and physics, with cityscape and countryscape driving enviroment
along with the obligatory racetrack?

Full engine and systems details, with the ability to fiddle with setups and
options......

Something along the lines of MS Flight Sim, but for a ground bound vehicle
(not saying that MSFS is actually that realistic).

I'm sure there would be a market.

Any thoughts?

Viper looks a little too NFS-ish to me to be classified as a true sim.

Hmm, do you extract that wisdom from screenshots or are you talking
about
the physics in the newest demo???

To be honest, the idea of drving or racing "supercars" doesn't really e***
me in a Sim.

I'm really only interested in sim's of racing series.

Cross Gran Turismo with the GPL engine and release for PC...

Sounds good, don't get me wrong, but maybe the GT 'race series'
bit would add some essential long-term gameplay.

Yeah, well..not really,. It comes close, but not close enough. Physics are
ok, nothing like GPLs though....and since it only has one type of car its
not nearly as fun as GT. :)
I'm waiting for PSCR and see if its an equal of GPL>

Ron,
In Viper Racing....change your suspension height to 20 inches, then ask
again if it is a sim or not. It may simulated some parts of the Viper,
(graphically, and such) But really, Viper Racing has still got a long way to
go before too many will classify it as a true SIM. Dont get me wrong, some
will.......MOST wont.

Whatever compared ViperRacing with NFS. That's silly! But of course I am
NOT
comparing it with GPL. But it's much closer to GPL than it is to NFS,
isn't it?
