I personally can't wait for them to release the 959. That has been my favorite Porsche of all time. I had a poster of it up when I was in high school when they released it. Anyone else notice the additional races in golden and modern era? You can change it from tournament races to classic or golden races. They have rallies and such. Also, the drivers seem to be at the higher skill level of whatever era you are racing tournaments in. This game just keeps getting better and better. I am in the modern era and have the 95 turbo with the GT2 wing on it, it is way fast. Ron.

What else does your '95 Turbo have on it? Mine is actually as fast as the GT1. My '95 has the following mods: Stage 2 turbo 50% larger intercooler professional brakes, springs, and shocks GT2 lid extra stiff sway bar slicks I have run a 2:22.68 on Cote d'Azur in it. But my fastest car is my '00 911 turbo. I don't remember the exact specs on it, but I have it loaded up with all the goodies that you can buy including the Stage 2 turbo, intercooler, throttle body, injectors, ECU, intake, hi perf exhaust, etc. It has all suspension mods too. I have run a 2:17.09 on Cote with it. This game is so incredible.... TW On Fri, 07 Apr 2000 04:10:25 GMT, Ron <[email hidden]> wrote:

I think the only things I have besides that are the superlight flywheel and performance exhaust. I haven't gotten the '00 911 yet. Looking forward to it. I like doing the custom paint jobs on the cars. They did a pretty good job of giving you the preset trims to play with. So you can do a decent paint job without having to fire up photoshop or whatever. I have noticed something that I think is a bug. If you finish a race with any damage, when you car comes to a stop your damage to handling doubles. This is with the x.33 version. I would like a little more control over making single and multiplayer races, but other than that I think this game is what a lot of people have been looking for in a racer ond the PC. Well, I suppose a few people would prefer Ferrari ;) Ron. In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...

Is this on the NFS website? I haven't been able to find any car downloads there? I only see the specific post I'm replying to, so I don't know if there was more info posted originally. don hodgdon wrote:

My favorite car so far was my 1978 911 Turbo with the following mods: Stage 4 Turbo 50% larger intercooler Pro brakes, springs, shocks, stiff sway bar Slicks This car is so fast and so scary for that golden era (back end is *very* loose) I had such a blast when I first upgraded it and found just how fast it was, it's actually too fast for that chassis, full lock pendulum turns every corner, and you can blow away Dylan too if you can keep it under control, problem was I was paying like $10K a pop for all the damage when I lost control :-) Another wow moment was driving that special 935 at the Monaco circuit, the difference in physics modeling for that car compared to all the earlier models, and just how amazingly fast you can drive through the streets of Monaco is pretty cool. Yes, I'm loving this game too. --John (Joao) Silva --

Yeah, the mid-70s Turbos are quite a handful. The accuracy of the handling in this game just blows me away. The only Porsches that I have ever driven are a 924 and a 944 Turbo but I have been a car nut since the early 80s and Porsches have always been amongst my favorite cars. I have read numerous magazine articles about the handling characteristics of various 911 models and the physics in the game reflect exactly what I have read. This game is amazing.....
