Thanks, Kevin. I was so distracted by the Chaparral that I didn't even
notice the others. This could be fun! As close to GTL as we'll ever see I
guess. Although Papy should take a look at the traffic at GPLEA tonight and
perhaps they'd reconsider...8^).

Then again, I bet some of the GPL wizards could come up w/a patch to do it.
I saw somewhere that someone was working on a -Batmobile- ! Heresy! Heresy!

Sorry for my ignorance but do these cars work with Grand Prix
Legends...or Sports Car GT?

Wow. Never knew about those cars for SCGT. Only problem is that every
jpg I click on to download the car gives me "The page cannot be
displayed". Is the site overloaded or what?

It was very overloaded last night.  I finally managed to get all the
cars about 4 am ET and as usual GPLEA got it right.  They even
simulated the Chap's 3 sp automatic transmission by bunching up the
3/4/5 gears while the Ferrari has all 5 and the Ford GT has 4 speeds
by bunching 4 and 5.

I was able to get in a few laps and one 30 minute race last night.
Initial impressions are that the Ferrari handles quite well but is
down on top speed.  The Chaparral is fast but VERY skittish.  If you
drive it hard into the corners you can conquer the snap oversteer it
wants to do but I didn't have enough time to be consistant.  The Ford
GT Mk IV is a brute -- that's the car I used in a race at Hockenheim
where it was faster than any other car by miles, but sloppy in the
chicanes.  I finished 5th on the basis of my own numerous miscues and
trips to the kitty litter.

I haven't yet tried the Mk II, Lola or Mirage.  I also had one of the
Aussie supercars in there from an earlier download and it did very
well for itself.  It was funny to see a Falcon holding it's own
against the Ferraris...

The AI are their usual very aggressive selves.  One of the Mirages
took a great deal of pleasure from slamming the door on me at every
opportunity and watching me loop into the scenery from locking up the
brakes.

Congrats to everyone at GPLEA for allowing me to revisit my ***age
fantasies.  I was 15 in 1967 and absolutely LOVED the Ford GT.  Now
all we need is LeMans for SCGT and I'll just lock myself in here and
not come out for a month.

I tried twice again today and still get the same error.Guess I'll have
to stay up 'til 4:00AM. :-(

Sounds interesting. Looking forward to getting the cars eventually.
