Well, I mean intake restriction is the same as not pressing the throttle down as much.

Umm, are they on a highway? How are they not obstructing the flow of traffic? Where I live if you stop on a highway at any time of night, someone is going to rear-end you. Also, in the second video, are the drivers blind or something? They keep leaving early. Also, you can hear one of their engines detonating under WOT. (2:52 through 2:55). The Civic is also a rice burner. I don't care how fast it is. Anyone who drills holes in their bumper like that is a ricer.

If I was one of the drivers stuck in traffic, I would just run over all the "street racers". I'd just say I didn't see them. I mean, they're holding up traffic for 6 minutes because they don't know how to launch. Not to mention the fact that they shouldn't be racing on a goddamned highway with any traffic at all, especially since there's traffic coming the other way. Those barriers in the median can only withstand about 50mph well. Something fails on the car, and it spins and hits the barrier at 90mph, it's definitely going to be going over, and hitting whatever innocent motorists are driving down the opposing lanes of the highway.

Her shirt is dirty. In multiple ways.

I knew what a stiffy was when I was 9.

I'd call "early 2009" the first third. "Mid 2009" would be the middle third, and "late 2009" would be the last third, plus or minus a month. So, early 2009, to me, means anywhere between January and May. Mid 2009 would then be anywhere between April and September, and Late 2009 would be August through December. That's how I see it.

And, also, there are events that can come up in peoples lives that change their plans. The developers have no obligation to release any future versions, anyway.

Quote from Riders Motion :

Conclusion: Dont reverse when you see two cars lined up and ready to race.

False.

Conclusion: Don't street race on a crowded narrow street.

Street Racing is okay depending where you do it. Watch this video:

Now compare that to this video:

Smoke what?

Quote from Riders Motion :

Haha the Europeans with their big blocks 4cylindre 1.8l. Come to the other side of the pound we got LSXs and Caterpillar. THAT is torque.

The LSX is not a big block. Nor is it a production car engine. Also, how is Caterpillar relevant to this discussion?

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Any you can supercharge it very easily

How is a Honda F20C engine any more easily supercharged then a GM LS3 engine?

Note: I am NOT saying the LS3 is any easier to supercharge then an F20C, either.

Wax will probably pass through without much issue though. Like, it's not toxic I don't think.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Hah, try getting the figures from that V8.

But any sources for the S2000 figures? I see 28.2 on this website.

I got both the figures from the figures tested by the US government.

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg ... jsp?column=2&id=24172

It also shows the reported figures that people have uploaded.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I'd rather have a 2.0 S2000 engine than any 5.7L V8, irrespective of power of said V8, tyvm.

Unless you want to do 12mpg with 250bhp as you get standard.

The Corvette C6 has a 6.2L engine with 430HP and it gets 15mpg city and 26mpg highway. The F20C powered S2000 had 240HP, and got 18mpg city and 23mpg highway....

Quote from pb32000 :

Because that's what f***s your life up.

Only if you let it f**k your life up.

LOL There's a such charge as dangerous skating?

200 miles isn't enough. You'd have to do at least 2000 miles. Only problem, is that the additives could clean the engine better or worse depending on the gas. There's no way you can compare fuels without going a set distance on cars that are EXACTLY the same. You'd have to get 5 identical brand new cars and test it over the duration of several thousand miles.

I am still considering buying that CPU. I noticed that my motherboard requires a bios update to support the E8400, though. So just now I flashed my bios. I was able to actually run my memory at 800MHz DDR, and my FSB at 1200MHz. Interesting.

I did a little testing using the GTA4 benchmark tool. 800x600, everything on medium, no AA, 8x AF, I got 17FPS. I increase the resolution to 1280x1024, everything on high, 4xAA, 16XAF, and I get 15FPS. So, clearly my CPU is the bottleneck, and not my graphics card, right? I'll probably end up getting an E8400. My motherboard will supposedly support a higher FSB if I download a bios update.

Quote from Not Sure :

strange, to me it is the least confusing.

Well, you're smarter then me. I see you edited your post, the reason being removing "wiseass remarks". What was it you were going to say, anyway?

Quote from Thunderhead :

I came.

Where did you come from?

Sounds good! What software did you use? I tried messing around in a demo of Ableton but I was only able to make a simple beat and nothing complex, and it was a really confusing piece of software.

Quote from cathal50cc :

And what is racing? its driving isint it ?

What is wrecking? It's driving isn't it?

When they have those guys with that prepubescent sounding scream it's even more lame.

Rigs of Rods has gone open source as well. I'm actually working on some differential improvements, and engine improvements in the way that the truck idles. I basically have simulated a torsen differential. If you are completely straight, and dump the clutch, both tires spin. It just gives more torque to the slower wheel, basically. Except, just like a real torsen differential, if one wheel is in the air, then it'll act like an open differential.

Quote from tristancliffe :

If you have to have a dog put down (for whatever reason), would you ask your vet to do it via injection, or would you use a cheese grater and kill it over a period of days with lots of suffering?

You put an animal down because it is ill enough that it will suffer even more if it is kept alive. When you kill an animal to eat it, it is perfectly healthy. What if people just killed their dog because they didn't want it any more, but they did it via injection.
