True but that's part of the appeal, a bit of fun more than the ultra serious upper levels.

True Sars, it appealed to the yokel in me for about 2 or 3 races. Then I got over it. I'd prefer to see close clean clever racing anyday.
Maybe an El Camino-like truck. Or like a Holden Malloo!
but you gotta remember, its not entirely the utes in the Brutes series that makes it all crazy, its also the drivers
.if you ask me, having a ute in lfs wouldnt be any different to car (except a bit of handling difference). As long as everybody still tries to race clean it shouldn't be to much of a problem.
Yes, I'am not talking about a big pickup, something small like this.
i'm glad the devs are europeans....
Me too
I have one more idea (different that this):
Having the headlights on the GT-T pop up (like real headlights), just a small thing that has been eatting at me for awhile.

Wow thats a new idea! :rolleyes:
Ever heard of the mountain on wheels known as the Ford Excursion? It weighs 6800 pounds, is SLOWER than all the rest, even though it has a 575 HP engine, and the fuel mileage is horrendous. 6-8 MPG! DAMN! Even a 454 Caprice SS can do better! Not only is it next to impossible to park the beast, but you cay be spending near to $200 to fill the gas tank (with recently inflated gas prices), so unless you are Bill Gates or George W. Bush you are not going to be able to pay for the fuel!
NOW, back OT, I think a performance pickup wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Yes I am aware that Ford trucks are rubbish (I've been in all but the Excursion and the F350), and that trucks are too heavy and bad handling, but come on! How many of you can drive the LX6 or the Formula V8 without spinning it a lot? The truck (any one, not referring to Ford) is not as bad as you think...
Dang! That's one HUGE useless SOB... I guess it's lucky for George W he's found all the oil his Daddy left under those pesky Iraqi's sand back in '91 
Oil + Gasoline are going to go up. But whatever.
I mean, its not as if this has been talked about a zillion times before..
what about a "flying start" with 1 or 2 tire-warming laps??? or nightraces??? with lighting and stuff?
dont know if its possible maintaining networkstuff and all
good fight, good night

WHAT! FORD KICKS ASS. WTF YOU CAN TAKE 30 FT JUMPS IN FORDS WITH VERY LITTLE DAMAGE AND IN A GM VEHICLE YOUD FRIKEN DIE! HOLY CRAP.
wtf is wrong with shit monger GM lovers.i cant understand them. WEEEEEEE like a friken peble. atleast Ford isnt going friken bank rupt like GM is. oh. and Ford owns Mazda, Jaguar, and Volvo. Chevy is gay. And thats final. So you can go and cry on your GM's shit apolstered seat, and watch as the dye runs out of them.

ROFL nice post. I have absolutely NO idea what your deal is, but please continue. I like a good chuckle
Before this thread degenerates into Ford vs. Chevy deadlock I'd like to say that in my opinion Utes could be added, but only after LFS has actually produced a convincing grunty large engine.
There are two types of racing pick ups worth talking about, first being the Aussie Utes which are based on the same modern monocoque construction as a Holden/Ford muscle car, they are in essence the same as a V8u Supercar with obviously a lighter rear end and less power, by the time one is building a racing car from shell up most of the strutural rigidity issues can be ironed out.
The other type of pick up racing is the Nascar Craftsman Trucks (bare with me), whilst normally confined to ovals they are a 1600 kg tubular steel space frame construction producing over 650 bhp from a full race Chevy V8 revving to 9200 rpm. On road courses in N2003 they produce the best racing I've ever had in anything apart from LFS. All things considered these things are slightly slower than the FOX, which is still very fast by terms of anything that you'll have driven (faster than 911/M3s round the 'ring).
They run on slick tires but are still pretty basic well sorted cars, still on an open diff and a 4 speed racing box, and importantly as they are effectively a Nascar with lower rear bodywork they are not overly tail happy. The main problems in simulating them would be that they've been driven to death in N2003 already and I don't feel LFS can really simulate a big full race engine (or any big engine), lastly they are peaky racing engines which still really need to be kept in a fairly high rev range, not as important as keeping a F5000 engine on cam, but it still won't give this right foot in any gear makes you go style torque usually experienced in big V8s.

Take the bashing to some GM website, no need to throw this old topic, off topic.
ajp71, thanks.

get your flamers ready... :P
i've always dreamed of a lfs like physics for some nfs-u2 like game.
why?
why, not?
just a thought

the difference? (unless your truck has more than 4 wheels!0
At least someone agrees with me... I'd like a ricer game with physics (note how I didn't say 'better physics', but just 'physics').
