It's the heaviest car, just heavier than the Honda, but the Honda has enough grunt in the engine to make up for it's weight a little. -- Tim, [email hidden]|[email hidden] http://legends.sports-gaming.com/forums.shtml FREE forums for your league... http://legends.sports-gaming.com Sim racing website loosely based on gpl...

I mean wheneven I take this crazy car for a spin, I feel like I am just ripping off PBs, then I see my times and they are like ten seconds from my PBs. What is it with this car that gives an illusion of speed above that of all the other GPL cars? It is the scream? It it the gears? Is it just me? I did a lap at Spa in the BRM yesterday and I could have sworn it was under 3:25, but no it was like a 3:40 something! Egad!!! Maybe I have been working on a sub 100 hadicap for too long . . . SLG (96.61 and falling) P.S. Where'd PapaDoc go? (All spelling errors are intentional and are there to show new and improved ways of spelling old words.

I guess it's a "sound problem". Same with the honda. These cars need very high revs to be fast. Every time I finished a lap with these cars I think "wow, that's it. this has to be a fast lap. very close to my other lap times. This lap sounds good". The bigger the disappointment when I reach the finish line the next lap and notice the time on the pitboard. Markus "Steve Garrotto" <[email hidden]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[email hidden]...
