I've come to the same conclusion. I believe that TrackIR view being crippled in this patch is just an oversight. If you're using TrackIR and sitting in a passenger car you'll realize immediately that in "real life" you would be able to turn your head past 90 degrees with no problem.
Merry Christmas
I ran some laps on Westhill with the LX6 using slickmod. I was easily five seconds faster than my non-slick times. Considering that there’s a 4.5 second difference between the UFR and LX6 WR times. I estimate that the LX6 with slicks has a slight edge at this track.
Incidentally for a nice offline challenge try racing the LX6 (non-slicks) against the AI driving UFR’s or even XFR’s (if you’re feeling optimistic).

Slicks, of course! I knew it was something simple. So if I add slicks to the LX6 it should own the UFR. 
Why is the UFR faster than the LX6?
Perhaps this is obvious to most so maybe I’m just overlooking something but why is the UFR so much faster than the LX6?
Here’s their numbers:
UF GTR (UFR)
Front engined, front wheel drive
Engine: 1.4 litre inline 4
Power: 134 kW (180 bhp) @ 8246 rpm
Torque: 178 Nm (131 lbft) @ 5870 rpm
Total Mass: 600 kg (1323 lbs)
Power-weight: 223 W/kg (304 bhp/ton)
Weight dist: 64.6 F 35.4 R
LX6
Front engined, rear wheel drive
Engine: 1.8 litre inline 6
Power: 142 kW (190 bhp) @ 8429 rpm
Torque: 173 Nm (128 lbft) @ 7059 rpm
Total Mass: 540 kg (1192 lbs)
Power-weight: 62 W/kg (357 bhp/ton)
Weight dist: 48.3 F 51.7 R
The LX6 is lighter has more horsepower and even has better weight distribution. The only two areas I can think of where the UFR has the edge would be aerodynamics and downforce though I see no settings for this. Is it the small frontal area of the UFR?

After reading this thread I did a comparison between a laptop with a widescreen lcd and a desktop with a 4x3 CRT. If the desktop is set to something like 1280x1024 and the laptop is set to 1280x768 the laptop is sacrificing vertical resolution in order to keep the graphics proportional on a widescreen display.
So is it safe to say that you’re not seeing any more horizontal information with a widescreen display? That in fact you're seeing less?

My favorite car?
Well lets’ narrow it down.
Anything with more than one seat is overweight so that leaves only three.
Out of these three obviously I’d have to go with the one with the most horsepower which leaves us with <drum roll> the Formula V8!
Pretty simple eh?
F08 rules, everything else is just a speck in the rearview mirror.
