I wonder what engine you have on your Punto. Because if I remember right XFG goes 0-100 in just under 8 seconds which is quite fast IMO.
Also I don't get why some people keep telling it handles like crap, IRL car like XFG would probably get quite good reviews from drivers like Tiff Needdell as being a quite nicely handling hot hatch even with a moderately fast straight line performance.
And BTW about the SR20DE. I don't have lots of knowledge about Nissan's engines, but I do know that if you want to N/A 2-litre engine to produce (even with 6 pistons) 300bhp you need very aggressive cams, big valves, porting etc. high compression ratio, a real good internals to take high RPM's and definitely big individual throttle bodys, or big (maybe 50's) side draft twin carbs x3 (in 6-pot configuration). And that engine is gonna scream to really high RPM's. As your friend I wouldn't even say 200bhp if there isn't really serious tuning under the bonnet.
Also I don't get it why Mr. Klutch has to act so aggressively. Doesn't make you sound any more knowing than you are (actually less).
When he's online i'll ask for the specs.
I've seen the engine etc.. lately. Exept airfilter, fmic, strutbar nothing much to see... Dunno what he's running internal
was that intentional?
you never know with germans and their lack of humour
my mom has the same cult model (5 doors though) and one of the first things that attracted me to lfs was how much the xfg handeled like the punto with the standard hard track setup (ca version 0.3)
it was the first racing game/sim i ever played that managed to accurately give you the same enjoyable feel of leaning 45° to the outside of the corner that a italian hatch will give you
Well actually you can't compare exactly how they feel, but I know the performance figures of XFG (I have measured the 0-100 myself:razz and I can tell on the track the way it handles is pretty good. It doesn't have massive body roll and you can pretty much recover from everything. It goes where the driver wants and is quite fun driven on the edge.
I'm thinking more like how it would be as a real car. It would be one of the few FWD cars I'd probably like to own IRL.
driving fast in a game or in real life is a bit different you know i was on some private training track with it yesterday and all i can say is lol it really has an incredible handling, its understeering even in the faster corners lol
lol you´re sick. but you´re right they are uniroyals but not rally i dont know the exact name of them only something with rain blabla
