so with your 250 hp clio and jail sentences in the eu for doing 10 over what exacly can you do that would be any amount of fun with out ending up in a 8x8 box with a guy that wants to be your new best friend?

take it to a track like you mentioned. racing on the street is an idiots game. how much fun can "chirping" the tires in 2nd gear really be?

when you drive away from some knob in a pos inport that thinks hes fast b/c he has a wing its kinda fun. but getting 30-50 miles more on a tank is the reason i got the shift kit. stock shifts i use to be able to do around 220 on a tank with the shift kit i have hit 270 on a tank driving around city and if i do any freeway it goes in to the 300+ on a tank. it shifts gears faster so theres less time where the motor is tunning 3k rpm and not engaged moving the car, its also better for the transmission temperature wise less slipping on the friction plates. between that and an after market external 1/2tube 24in 2 pass trans cooler on the frame rail with braided steal lines and -06 an fittings on all the ends. its built to be more of a gt car and not a drag make a 14 second run then it breaks down. from the brakes being drilled and slotted with a set of hawk hp street pads that were 75$ (just ordered braided steal lines for all the lines on the truck) to all the lines being braided steal for the oil and trans coolers. if it wasn't for having to drive it in the winter i would have changed the thermostat in it to a cooler 160 from the 180 thats in it from the stock 195 that it came with.

every time i go to some ones house or someone at a business im going in to if someone sees me get out of it they normally complement how good it looks and thats the main reason i drive it. so now that your done analyzing my car, what kind of performance cars do you guys drive daily or are you stuck in your moms clio 1L that can't break 100 mph?

as for tickets i don't have any on my record at all, no speeding, no racing, no red light, nothing.

i like how you guys have instantly attacked me once i made my point on the smoke.

no point made unless you count the non-sense you were saying.
nobody mentioned tickets you've gotten so why say you have none? you do know that street racing is street racing no matter what the speed is right? also, nobody mentioned "moms 1L clio that can't brake 100mph". someone did mention a V6 clio with a 0-62mph time of 5.8 seconds that would destroy your cruck/tar with it's factory parts.
i've noticed you tend to exaggerate certain things that's posted to re-enforce your arguement. any reason for this?

look
your car/truck is nice and powerful and taken care of... whatever.

but it isn't even related to a hatchback, let alone a "hot" hatchback (slightly irrelevant note: i don't even like the phrase 'hot hatchback'. i'm using it solely for communication purposes.)

and, dunno if you noticed, we're talking about the car. not the driver. you can go in a moped and try to race and get killed. or drive a koenigsegg and go about perfectly legaly and safely.

that one is already in this thread

sry i just had to

so a truck that comes up to my shoulders is a big car? my blazer besides our corvettes and impala is the lowest car we have so how is it a big huge car that all Americans like?

2000-2002 ws6 or trans am so its a ls1 motor. plastic body so it will be easy to keep it looking good and no rust on the body.



the comment around tickets was because every one jumped to the conclusion that i must be street racing at nite. whats to say it wasn't at a drag strip or on a privet road.

as for my point i thought i made it quite clear here.

Quote from gotspeed :

its not a arcade affect tho, it happens in a real race a cars a-arm getting hit breaks it and guess what the wheel falls off. when was the last time you watched a f1 race the guy hit a wall and just the shocks broke and the wheel bent in and he finshed the race. never happens the car falls apart and theres only 3 wheels left and hes race is over.

if the only down side to having smoke in the game is lower fps then do it already. im playing with a i7 and gtx 295 i normaly see about 300 fps even my 5 year old dell xps was still playing lfs at 70 fps with every thing set to high settings.

don't think i want a burn out image creating app from lfs. but i would like it so when the guy in front of me gets bumped and spins it makes my race more realistic if i have to hold my breath and drive through a blinding cloud of smoke once and a while.

thats a real gtr burn out that wasn't that long and the smoke is so thick you can't see through it at all in the middle. the edited pic is how the smoke should look both sides different and not just a mirror image of the other side and has the one quality of smoke that every one here seems to hate that is, it being hard to see threw

Here's an improved smoke texture that is more opaque which may help you survive until the developers get off their lazy butts and stop wasting time screwing around with crap like physics, new tracks and new cars and fix the most important issue in LFS: tire smoke modeling.

Sarcastic?!? You dare imply that tire smoke isn't the most important feature for the LFS team to be working on?!?

In all seriousness, the tire smoke system isn't perfect and could definitely be improved, but that's way down on the list. When/If they add rain, and assuming they add water spray from the wet roads, that would probably be a good time for them to play with the tire smoke as they're both particle effects.

waterford hills road racing.

Hmm, never heard of it. Seems like a quaint little track in the Detroit area.

now can we stop complaining about a little curbing in lfs now?

Did you say smoke?

Quote from Breizh :

Did you say smoke?

we can still conplain about the smoke. the curbing is real in lfs just like real life racing hit it flip your race is over. the smoke is still not true to real life racing. the other half of the problem is you change your own smoke and end up hitting some one that you can't see and they don't know you changed the smoke they yell about being rammed lol :P
