i want to see more realistic heat in the game, and i'm not just referring to tires. i want to see the brakes heat up and fade from excessive braking - or burnouts (much like the forza motorsports2 on the 360). i want to see the engine get hot from things like front end damage, and burnouts (no airflow and high load). i want to see the clutch get hot and slip.

and how about more structural damage from hitting the wall. i want to see the tires get torn off from scraping the wall at 120+!

i drive an 18 wheeler for a living, and i HATE the sequential mode. i only use it in games where the H pattern isn't available. usually i screw up the sequential when i downshift - i forget to let go of the darn lever!

as for being 'slower' with the 3rd pedal and shifter...bleh. i went from a best of 1:28 at blackwood with mouse driving and a few helps like auto-blip, to a 1:12:78 with the G25 with all helps turned off...(with the XR GTR)

the only time i worry about my shifter, is when i let others play with it. 3 times already, someone has tried to "bang" second, and yanked the friggin shifter off my desk!

i would play online, but i need a new computer. even if i try playing single player, my fps drops to like 3...so hot-lapping it is for me (till i get a new computer)


woohoo! set a new best at blackwood after installing the patches (hadn't done that). 1:12:08! (last lap of replay - 18th lap)

got a 10.36 launching in 2nd (after heating tires to about 89* in the center) with this setup

when launching in 2nd, you need full boost (i hold the e-brake and slip the clutch to get the turbo spooled - just release the brake about .5 seconds before you launch or it'll stumble)

i also use the g25
