Whereas in N2002, the cars "feel", even without ff, like they weigh almost
two tons, as actual Cup cars do; no hovercraft, no driving on ice feel, etc.
In N4, they felt like the GPL cars; lightweight, twitchy, etc. That's fine
for a 1967 F1 car(though I think it's overdone in GPL F1 mode too), but not
trying to simulate a 2002 stock car, who's power/weight ratio is totally
different. Irregardless of pc limitations, if driving a 1967 F1 car or an
N4 stock car was that difficult, that knife-edge lap after lap, all the
drivers would be dead, not just some. Even the pros don't drive perfect
laps/races every single time, but that's what's required in
N4...........perfect laps with an imperfect physics model.
I like Papy/Sierra stuff as much as anyone. Have every title they've
made, including Indy 500. But I bet if N4 had been released by X
corporation, it would have been slammed hard in reviews.
N2002's the best stock car sim ever made IMO. Heat was good, because it
simulated the feel of driving a stock car well, but failed badly in
simulating a race, on or offline. N4 simulated a race well, but simulated
the feel of driving a stock car badly.
N2002 does both very well.

So you are saying N2002 is really *that* much better?
Hmmm, I wasn't going to buy N2002 because I figured it was just a slightly
improved N4, but if what you say is true then I may just have to buy it. But
at $69.00 CAD and considering I already have N4 and NH it's a tough
decision for me. Plus I already have Rally Trophy on preorder.
There are beta patches that improve this. It's the feeling and look of the
game I like though.

Yes, but I have N4 already. Am having a hard time convincing myself to get
N2002 since if it's not so dif from N4 I can use the money to buy something
else, like Trophy Rally.
