I'd have something like an ATV, but i guess that'd be kinda stupid. Maybe something with a V8? shelby cobra, maybe a classic dodge charger (not superbee) or a van like a transit for banger racing or something?
Yes, the current f1 car in lfs does not have grip(doubt the real thing is that bad), current f1 cars pull over 2 g's in very low speed corners and consistently over 4 g' s in fast corners. Also current F1 cars are much easier on the throttlle while getting out or corners. Full throttle at much lower speeds then is possible with bf1 of lfs. In general most likely muchhhhhh better to drive. Would be very nice if the current bf1 will be replaced with an 2008 F1 car(and all code for TC be banned from lfs! suggestion to add it again, become bannable offence )
But i want also to ad an suggestion for a car, the new a1gp car is very nice:
Rip form wikipedia:
"On 11 October 2007, A1GP and Ferrari announced a six year collaboration on the new generation of A1GP cars. The new "Powered by Ferrari" car is a modification of the Formula 1Ferrari F2004 chassis with a V8 Ferrari engine producing 600 bhp[26]. The car was officially revealed in Southern England, and driven for the first time by John Watson in an inaugural event in May 2007. Michelin will supply the tyres for the new car[27]."
The v8 has a displacement of about 4.2 liters, it is close to F1 racing speeds and modified to make close racing posible without severe downforce loss caused by driving just behind the car in front. What i have seen from last race, these cars are indeed able to stay close in corners. Thats why they would be great for lfs, much more fun than racing then an F1 car. Who cares that the a1gp is about 5-10 sec slower each lap then the current f1 car.
Any volvo? chiptuned v70R Classic offcourse! Topspeed 270km/h with just engine tuning and great accelaration figures. But for racing, in lfs must be assumed shocks,dampers,tyres and brakes are replaced by racing stuff.. Stock parts are very reliable, but are not suitable for racing.
However, i think there are cars which would be better to add-ons for lfs.
I'm all In for the monster XFR! Maybe it should be called a XFR-SS with a Turbo charged 2 litre engine producing about 300bhp, 4wd and more downforce! Same goes for a UFR-SS with about 260bhp or a LX8 with the similar amount of power.
I'd also like a racing modified XR GT; a N/a race car with a racing theme put into it, making it a rival for the original XFR and UFR. Here is an idea of the type of classes I would like:
Class 2 GTR's:
XF GTR
UF GTR
LX6 Race-tuned
XR GTR (the n/a version)
definitely we need a Le Mans Prototype, nearly every other carclass is already in the game... But it would be nice to replace the BF1 with a '08er F1 car without TC and a real speedshift-gearbox! I dont like the '09 F1 with KERS and the absolut ugly-looking wings...
