As someone with some racing experience (drove a few Nascar modifieds on
an empty track when my uncle use to build them - No Troyer by any means
=) and SCCA in GT1 and Sport 2000's)... I can agree with
you... I want a SIM not an arcade game. BUT.. there are
many people who just want to have fun with a game.. it doesnt necessarily
have to be "realistic" for them to enjoy it and make it worth the money
to them. I personally am not a drag racing fan (although i
do respect their skills and technology)... I just like my races to
last longer than a few seconds =) However... since there
are not many, if any, alternatives for Drag Racing fans.... it will
probably do well.

<BR>> There is a new game coming out endorsed by HOTROD magazine.
It's a drag
<BR>> racing game and It has a bunch of muscle cars you can race and tweak.
Check
<BR>> it out at www.bethsoft.com. It will support multiplayer and
3DFX!!!! I'm
<BR>> pretty e***d.
<P>I was too, at first. But sorry, no***pit view... I'm not interested.
<BR>There's another drag racing sim in the works, but I can't remember
who's
<BR>doing it. It's suppossed to be funny cars and fuelers with a***pit
<BR>view. It will get my money, not an arcade-view "sim". The reason
I do
<BR>this sim thing is to immerse myself into my make-believe world of being
<BR>a race car driver... it doesn't help that immersion for it to appear
as
<BR>though I'm strapped on the roof, of trailing what must be my
<BR>radio-controlled car from a follow-along helicopter. For me... it's
<BR>inside the car or forget it... whatever the sim.
<P>I'm sure lot's of people will buy and enjoy the Burnout game, and I'm
<BR>happy for them. But I know what I want in a sim... and this one's
not
<BR>for me. Now... if they change their minds and put in a***pit
view...
<BR>it's a given, I'll buy it.
