Questions :- In the demo, are we driving a cack, intermediate, or good viper?(i.e. how "upgraded" is it?) (I'm sure any American can answer this one....) How come we are driving a Dodge Viper, yet in the GT racing I've seen on the TV, it's always the Chrysler Viper? When is it to be released in the UK? Are there any new decals for the paintshop in the full version?(I've designed what I consider to be a cool car, but it could do with some adverti***ts, and the demo decals are not quite right for the job) Thanks for any help... Steve

Chrysler is the corporation. Dodge, Plymouth, Mopar, etc. are motor divisions of Chrysler. They should say Dodge Viper. You don't here anyone speaking of the GM Camaro or GM Firebird. But I don't know a lot about GT racing so maybe they use the corporate names instead. Racer X Veteran Sim Racer Victory Lane- http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/1423/
The Viper in the demo appears to be somewhat tricked out. It seems to have a racing chassis, although no engine, tire, or body upgrades. When you start a new career you will see what a stock viper really drives like hehe :)

Yes you are right Target, The Vipers that raced in the GT2 class in this year FIA GT Championship raced under the brand name banner "Chrysler Viper" as run by Viper Team Oreca and Team Chamberlain Engineering. The Dodge Brand name is not used in Europe just Chrysler and the Racing Vipers are run by European Teams, Viper Team Oreca from France and Team Chamerlain Engineering from the UK, England. And so you in Europe you buy a Chrysler Viper, Voyager, Neon etc and not a Dodge Viper, Voyager, Neon etc as far as I am aware. Now I wonder for '99 If the Vipers will be run under the new brand name DamilerChrysler Viper :-) Scotty

It's a Pinto compared to what you build up to in the Career mode. -Larry > In the demo, are we driving a cack, intermediate, or good viper?(i.e. how > "upgraded" is it?)

Done, now the agony of waiting for the mail man to show up. Sierra told me, it could take 25 - 45 (!!!) days. Are they shipping by canoe, or what... ;^) l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
