Quick Question

Sat 2 Sep 2006, 14:31

Hey everybody, this is my first thread here, and second (me thinks) post. I'm NOT an LFS noob, I have been racing demo for almost a year now. I like racing Rally-X and on a good day I can get high 11's. I have played S2 and after running 58.5 at blackwood with the BMW I REALLY want the game, its amazing. So I just have to say great job with the game, its so detailed and realistic. Right now I play with just my XP Home, 2.2ghz, 224mb-RAM, 32mb SiS graphics card, meh, it does the job. I usually putt along around 35fps with the graphics maxed (no AA) I use a REALLY old and REALLY moded Formula T1 racing wheel.

Back to my question, what cars do the XF-Gti, XR-GT, and XR GT Turbo represent? Which cars are they based around?

xr gt seems to be converted into a skyline by every noob who comes on here, but i think it looks like an rx-7. although they might not be based on anything.

The XR cars bear a lot of resemblance to Mitsubishi Starions, whilst the XF is said to be a bit of a punto-other hatcback hybrid.

But they aren't real cars, they just have styling or performance cues from them, so direct comparisons are impossible.

I hope LFS doesn't get too carried away with adding real cars, as then people will just moan about how his car isn't as prone to lift off oversteer, or that the petrol tank can take more fuel, or... Some people seem shallow enough to need real cars and tracks to enjoy it. Poor them.

I know these cars arn't replicas, I was just curious as to what the LFS team based them on. I like the cars in the game now, and it would be a little stupid go to racing around in a Toyoya Colora, or a Dodge mini van.

i think the the xr cars engines are quite similar to those found in some nissan cars..xrgt 1.8=CA18DE, xrgt turbo 2.0=SR20DET..those engines can be found in 180sx's S13,14,15 silvia models.
