Warrior car in TNFS

Has anybody determined the top speed for this..plane on wheels ? It seems to be around 265 mph...I should make a straight track with the editor and test it. Ciao to everybody Michele Guerani In principio Dio creo' il computer ed il programmatore: tutto funzionava in armonia; poi, per punire sia computer che programmatore del peccato originale, dal fango venne plasmato l'utente.

I think it's about that - the first leg on the city course seems to allow all the cars to reach their top speed just before the tunnel. I must say that I don't think I would ever be up to driving a car at that speed - my reactions are just too slow! Driving it reminds me of a film made in the UK where they had a camera in the front of a train going from London to Brighton (a seaside town south of London) and then speeded up the film - same feeling of being out of control!

Well i have a story about this... My current goal in NFS is to find just that! I wanna find the top speed for this low flying missle so i use a number of utilities to straighten the track completely...flatten the track completely.... then add a steep hill at the start of the City road course then gradually slope down to the finish line and the highest speed i could muster up thus far is 302.5 MPH. But I am not finished with this track. I should probably move onto a longer track and add in more downward slope and I will probably hit 350 MPH (my next goal)! ------------------------------------------- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Stoneman-----CIS major at OSU oh yeah, and NFS *** also...

The film takes 20+ minutes and it's incredible. A narration over the film announces crossing state lines. Does anyone have the name of this film? It used to play all the time in the early '80's on HBO between movies. SC
