Im with nisskid, because you are a good driver on LFS, it doesn't mean you're a good driver in RL, in RL, you have fear, and if you damage your car, it costs, you can't simply Shift+P and get it fixed, or if you crash, you can't Shift+P and everything's fine, and away you go. In RL, you crash, chances are, at least, it hurts, and you constantly have this in your mind (be it at the back of, or front of), whereas in LFS, at all times, whether you try to make it feel as though its RL, you are constantly aware that if you crash, woopdidoo, Shift+P, s'all good.

One point I would like to make however, is that LFS definately increases understanding of physics, and how the forces affect the car, however, you don't see how the physics affect the driver, and so, how you'd react to the different maneuvers.

Wow you must be at least 2inches off the ground there.

Hmm, as much as I could post a sarcastic reply too, I wont.

TBH, it was a foot or so off the ground, all I wanted was to experience the back wheel coming off the ground, and a good photo op.

TBH, I love the looks of the car, with the exception of the h/lights, which, as stated previously, should be big round h/lights on a Caterham, but other than that, I feel it looks moody, and reasonably stealthy.
As for the figures, wow, some great performance, coming from a great (imo) british company, and tbh, comparing to an F1 car is something that Caterham should be proud of, it shows they're devoted to building cars that hold their own as much on track (either in motorsports, or trackdays) as they do on the road.
Just my 2 pence.

Quote from anttt69 :

Been there done that, within a couple of week of owning my new one

(BTW, the Peugeot badge is off the boot now, lol.)

Yep, the ST uses the T5 engine.

THIS IS NOT MY CAR! This is my Mum and Dad's car.

Scooby P1, rare.... and nice.

Top Gear FTW! End of, no competition, thats that.

Quote from yozzer :

if you say so

To be fair, I think the 1.3 Corsa A ('Nova' as its known in England) might be around 90bhp standard, lets face it, S1 Peugeot 106 Rallyes are 1.3 and they're 100bhp

I ordered a Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Pro Clutch Edition from Amazon the other day, with guaranteed delivery by friday cant wait.

TBH, Max Power and Redline have both changed dramatically recently, Redline focuses almost entirely on performance now, 10second 1/4mile street legal cars etc.
Max Power, still focuses on the tuner side of things, but not so much the neons etc, more subtle stuff. Redline has pretty much eradicated (glamour etc.) models from the magazine, and Max Power have cut back dramatically too.

However, I'd suggest subscribing to EVO magazine. (Or Performance French Car, if thats your thing )

Meh, I haven't got an avatar.... yet
But I voted XRT, it was partly that that made me pay up for an S2 licence, plus it annoys the demoers

Quote from semtex106 :

i have a white s1 106 rallye with a throttle bodied gti engine in it , ive owned it for 8yrs now and have steadily been changing it over the years , i like to do trackdays with it throughout the year and have been to most uk tracks, but baby this january is going to slow trackdaying down a bit i think
