The Scirocco is gonna be released Friday, But which friday? The Friday when Scawen actually tells us THAT ITS GONNA BE REALESED ON A FRIDAY. And stop making rumors.
And the scirocco wont be released tomorrow. I can read Scawen's mind.
It's just another Friday to me.. I'm not even thinking about the release of the Scirocco because I know it'll come when it's ready. No matter how much you sit there and think "omg i want it to come today", it won't hurry up...
Honestly, it's best to just forget about it and, when it finally does come along, enjoy it..
or rather when i loose my virginity ( in not so long tho... )
but wait... there is a thing that came to my head like 5mins ago..... will the 'rocco be limited to 155mph ? ( u kno... those laws made by the german green party..... )
I don't think it can do 155mph anyway.. I think it's about 148mph or something.. I'd be very suprised if a 2.0 TSFI or whatever could top the 155mph marker.. even if it could, there's not a piece of track long enough to get it up to that speed..
well ... there are some cars like the bmw 328i that can do near that speed so i wont be impressed if a sport hatchback could manage to do that ... (or near ) and the track could be the oval .... with bump drafting
According to VW technical data the 2.0 FSI (147kW) can do 235kph which is 146mph. The 1.4 TSI (118 kW) can do 218kph (135mph). I don't know which engine the VWS in LFS will have.
Maybe you can change gear ratio in LFS, I think you then could gain some more speed.
On a sideonte, IIRC it's not because of the green party (155 mph / 250 kph is far from "green"), but rather a gentlemen's agreement that Porsche as the only true sportscar manufacturer is allowed to make cars quicker than that. From factory, that is.
You´re mixing up the car manufacturers agreement from back in the 80ies, not to exceed the max. speed of 250km/h, which wasn´t green minded at all but for safety reasons, and recent tries to introduce a general speed limit where numbers varied between 120km/h and 150km/h (dunno whats that in your squarefeet per inchgallonpound measurement)
The car manufacturers agreement was one of the main reasons for the sucess of AMG, M GmbH and all the other in-factory tuners of German car makers - because they weren´t bound to this agreement.
In the early days AMG simply removed a chip from the central car computer - et voila, bye bye speed governor.
Well worth an extra 8000 DM (still dunno whats that in your squarefeet per inchgallonpound measurement).
All the noob's whining on the forum's saying "give me the patch nowzzzzzzzzz!!!" doesn't help im sure. Maybe Scawen just want's this patch to be perfect, especially as the Scirocco is in it
I personally belive they wouldn't give up until S2 went final anyway, if they were to give up it would probably mean S3 would never see the light of day.
Either way im going through an LFS bored patch, been playing netKar Pro alot lately getting ready for the GPC 2009 season.
Im sure i will fire up LFS when the patch do's come out though, although it might be a while until i start playing it reguarly again
