N4 has it all. Practicing Bristol online, down shifted into 3rd too early bam! there goes third. Shifted to fourth and to my surprise still had throttle response. Slowed and tried 2nd - yes, still works. Shifted back to third - like I was in Nuetral. Game runs great. My system: PIII 800 EB Annilator 2 (GeForce 2 32MB DDR) 256 RAM KENWOOD 72X CDROM Hercules Game Theater XP (A3D sound) etc... Draw Distance 75% Mirror Distance 25% 20 Cars ahead 3 behind 25 - 80 FPS depending on traffic and track. What other interesting mechanical failures have you seen... Chris

I've blown lots of gears going into the pits :) The grinding noise it makes is cool :) I also blew a tire on a PACE lap. No spinning or anything. Must have hit debrie's. I also need new Air-Wrenches for the crew. They seem to keep breaking :) -Larry "Chris" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9Esh6.264538$[email hidden]...
