Screw all 4wds except the Subaru STi and Toyota Celica alltrac GT-4

Quote from Omar1 :

wouldnt mind seeing a turbo charged xfg...

i would want an FZ5 turbo before a XFG turbo though.

Quote from logan2611 :

You could always get a LFS Tweak program

Some of us like multiplayer.

Quote from porez :

@Flyingbus - you posted a mediterranean style tuned (huge bumpers, lexus lights, all interior in leather trimmed, big wings etc.) Honda Prelude which has nothing to drift at all... It's fwd car if u dont know.

everyone knows the prelude is fwd. it was simply an example of what i hate, nothing to do with drifting.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Racing wings are functional, I wonder what is the function of that thing while going sideways. It even has end plates, pointless drag?

because drift cars are stupid in my opinion. no need for a spoiler.

Quote from March Hare :

Why do you hate that?

Do you hate racing cars with added aerodynamical devices? There is a huge rear wing on the FIA GT1 BMW Z4 that is not there on the original car. WTCC and BTCC have FWD cars with rear wings. Do you hate those cars?

I think the car in question looks stupid. But I don't hate it.



Yeah, right.

What I meant is I hate it when people put racing wings on their car when it isn't even a race car. I don't really like the look of the wing on the gt1 z4 but I don't hate it because its a race car and the wing has a function.



What I meant by "I don't want to spread hate" is I don't want to start any fights. The whole reason I started this topic is so everyone could set aside their differences and get along, needless to say I failed.

Quote from Matrixi :

Even though I'm not a fan of those myself, I can understand why some people do like to use them.

i can understand too, but its just my opinion that if it wasnt already there then it shouldn't be there. idk why, just the way i was raised i guess.

here's a prime example of what i hate on a car:

Quote from Matrixi :

Maybe they just like how they look...? I've seen plenty of "racing" skins with pasted on headlights, so it's not like that's something purely drifting scene related. It's merely something to try to make the same old LFS car models look a bit different from one another. On that note, do you consider bodykit layers to be drifter/ricer lifestyle orientated too?

You say you don't like "hating", but what you're actually doing there, is picking and choosing.

it would be hating if i went on one of their posts an made fun of them for it, or was disrespectful because of it. It was just my opinion that it is stupid. i almost never use a skin because i like the car to look clean, that's all.

I don't mind bodykits, as long as they arent a different color than the car and/or poorly fitted. big wings dont bother me if they came with the car. i love the STi spoiler on the STi , but if you got a race car wing and put it on a honda civic I would laugh simply because the civic is made for economy and not performance.


Another thing I hate is rims that are 3 inches more than they were stock. when over 3 inches more than stock it makes the car look awkward to me.



It's all just my opinion, I don't want to spread any hate.


sorry for poor punctuation/capitalization, i'm in a rush.

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :

Why do drifters open threads like this

Dude I'm not a "drifter" at all. Sure it's fun to slide once in a while, but I'm not going to drift competitvely.

I myself think competitive drifting is stupid because there is no absolute judgement on who wins. In a normal race you can plainly take a picture of whoever crosses the finish line first, but in drift competitions it's the judger's opinion that decides the win.


I do agree with maggot on how drifters can be asinine with their stupid s13 headlight skins and stupid stuff like that. It's totally asinine, just as asinine as ricer lifestyle if not more.


I didn't ask why people hate drifters; I asked why so many of you hate drifting itself. The question was only to the people who hate drifting, not everyone in the community.

That's all I have to say really, don't hate me for it because I don't like hate! ^-^

nto allows you to edit almost everything on a car exept the way it looks.

Quote from madrifter :

i love lfs but its getting abit boring with the same old stuff i really want s3 but i carnt find info on if/when it will be released if someone has any please let me know cos if its soon ill look forward to it


but if its years away i think ill have to look for another game which is a shame cos i love lfs physics and just need more to keep me in it

have you tried tweak? tweak keeps lfs interesting for me.

I was playing today and I realized you can restrict the intake, but why not boost pressure? I think it would be a great idea if you want to take down the power, but with less turbo lag at the same time.

okay get this:

FZ5 Turbo? Pretty good thinking eh?

Quote from Weasley123 :

Escort Van 1.8 non-turbo diesel

3: a car with

- of course super car styling

Quote from Omar1 :

i'd love to have wheel track, can help and look nice most of times!

yeah with limits that would be great

Quote from pärtan :

Give me a reason to put intake restriction on a race car. It only makes it slower, right? Or how about adding passengers. Tell me how that helps a race car going faster.

Dude, you just fried him up xD

I heard that there is a confirmed logitech g28 coming out.

Like the title says i just want to be sure it's fake.

Quote from MAGGOT :

Uh.. yes you have. Read my previous post. It makes perfect sense. The reason it's hated is because of the asinine culture associated with it. How does that not make sense?

i know, but in lfs you can't do all that stuff, and i was talking about in lfs. i really don't want to be hated just because i find it fun to throw the tail out once in a while.

everyone is being rude to me, if this is a sensitive topic with the community i'm sorry, i didn't know. i just didn't understand.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

I think you should go investigate what constitutes a statement. You made a loaded post that ignores most of the things said in this thread up until that point. Flamebait, trolling.


So you make a thread in a discussion forum, inviting discussion and then dismiss other people's opinions as unvalued. Why make a thread at all if you aren't willing to have rational discussion

I tried making a simple thread asking rational reasons to hate drifters.

I got horrible answers like:

"because its gay"

and

"Nobody with an average IQ or better has ever gone drifting."



I just wanted to see why you guys really hate it, and i have'nt gotten a single answer that makes sense at all. i'm not even a drifter and im hated now. Why can't I get a rational reason?


You don't have to be so condescending.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Drift competitions are fine.

Subjective statement without anything to back it up with.

In the words of FlyingBus, "Can't you keep your unvalued opinion to yourself?"

Was not a statement, it was an opinion, and I wasn't making fun of anyone.


I will not keep my opinion to myself because this is my thread.

I've never seen a drifter call racing stupid, so why do you guys make fun of the drifters? Can't you keep your unvalued opinion to yourself?

I think having drift competitions is a little much, but drifting is still more fun than plain driving.

In the words of Keiichi "Drift King" Tsuchiya: "I don't drift as a fast way to corner, I drift as a fun way to corner."

Quote from MAGGOT :

I hate when people add 'like' into a sentence for no reason.

Sorry; I live on the east coast of the US, so that's just kinda how we all talk.

You know, now that you mention it, it really is rather retarted.

Quote from Franky.S :

troll? lol yes im troll for racing in a racing simulator..

why you think all new stuff victor and scawen are doing are made for the RACING side of lfs and nothig with crusiing..

take victor and his lfsw. his new idea for hotlap website and league website and more. no crusing shit was mention in that.

it's a driving simulator. that's why there are currently open track configurations. if it was strictly for racing there wouldn't be open track config.

Quote from March Hare :

This is a racing simulator. Cruising is not racing. That is the reason not to cover it. Except maybe with 6 feet of soil.

If you think a racing simulator should cover cruising why not add a shotgun and missiles and nukes? Or what about dating? Or some puzzles.

This game is about racing. Nothing more nothing less.

i understand, but sadly there is no open world game that comes close to real physics.
