Something like a Formula Palmer Audi (but it would need the engine management boost thingy) and a 1950's F1 car

Quote from Vain :

The specs of the cars should be adjusted to give best challange over the complete range of tracks. This is propably not possible, but the attempt should give us something to work with. Then the leagues can pick the tracks that way that the best challange is achieved.

And about LX6/RAC/FZ5:
I guess we can only agree that all cars drive in their very own league.

And a last word:
The cars will never and shouldn't be the same. They should all still have their specific characters. But it would be nice to see those cars with different advantages race against each other in a head-to-head race. I want the advantages and disadvantages to outwheight each other so we can have very close races.

Vain

I like your idea. Granted when it comes to competitive leagues it may not work to well on most tracks but for everyone else it would make the game a lot of fun since we can jump in a race with(one of) our favorite car(s) and still have a good chance at taking the flag do to assorted skill levels on the pub servers.

While at the same time I also liked his idea of each car having two or three different models while performance isnt effected in anyway. So for example the XFG guys can have their beloved fiat looking hatchback but also have a choise of driving that same car but in a more VW golf or peugeot 106 or honda civic hatch. Something oldschool car enthusiasts to something new looking to give something to appeal to anyone who likes driving the car.

I'd also like to see a lightweight RWD car similar to the NA Mazda Miata's, MK2 Escort Cosworth, ae86, fans. something like 2100lbs, high reving 1.6 and around 160 or so horsepower. 50/50 weight distribution.
and perhaps a touring/GTR version if that car, something like 1750lb's, huge fenderflares, same 50/50 weight distribution, a compitition bread super high reving 1.6 that makes between 200 and 240hp depending on how fast you want the car to be between the XF and XR GTR's.

Perhaps it could take some styling ques from an mk2 escort or a bmw 2002 and its race counterpart, or a perhaps more 80's styling that would please the ae86 fans like an ae86 levin and a touring/gtr version like this n2 levin with its big ass flares.

Quote from jarre :

You could also release a programming program so that players could build their own cars, or alter the ones in the game..

ya i know that would be cool. but think about it, would you really wana see a bunch of people driving in 92 civic with the chopped spring, big useless muffler and there chrome rims they bought at Canadian Tire? I see that enough on the street. I suppose I could actually wipe them off the road in the game tho... hmmm... Tempting I admit...

S3 needs some real supercars. Like the Ford GT and maybe even a Lotus Elise or Exige.When is this coming out? I got S2 a month ago.

S3 came out last week, and it has the Ford GT in it. Download on the main LFS page (although it's a hidden page to stop crackers).

It's out?

hehe

Yeah, it's there, just not that many players yet, I wonder why?

Yeah, S3 is all about fwd drifting at mud-rallycross-park. And there is a fwd monster truck with radio controlled submarine detection system. And it's aawsome! But the best part is that the physics are perfect. Almost as good as in NFS:U!!!1112234to87439

Let's not forget the Pancake-GTR! That thing is crazy...

BTCCs were mentioned. THink TBO, slicks, maybe a body kit (not as 'rude' as the GTRs ones), a bigger spoiler (between the road and GTR cars),same power as normal TBOs, racing cockpit and that's it.

That goes for the GTRs or the above (in my post) mentioned GTs?

We definitely need a rwd nonaero race car with slicks to compete with the XFR/UFR... This is what i really miss in S2 I'd love to race in this class but sorry, for me fwd just sucks...

Maybe also an AWD car for that class
Actually those cars are very interesting - fast, not too fast, and very small.
But anyhow, those FWDs are undrivable because the tyres are burning after 2 laps...

Yeah, I notice that as well, if you're doing things right, you'll have the tires of the UF or XF up around 100ºC in very short order, but not much wear on the tires(so they don't get changed at pit stops) and I usually pop one of the front tires about 4-8 laps in(depending on the track). But I really struggle to be compeditive with RWD cars, so I usually stick with the FWD cars.

Ever since 1985 I've wanted a white Testarossa...
I know some of you know what I'm talking about

We need a DeLorean. You all know you want one.

Quote from Hankstar :

DeLorean

Why my Dad left Lotus. Just in time it turns out.

With a flux capacitor?

TC: smart man, your dad. Mr DeLorean was a fruit loop.

rabid: and a Mr Fusion!

I keep wondering what everyone's fascination is with the Delorean, I can't help finding it an ugly stupid car Oh well, whatever floats your delorean.

I never liked it much either. Although the flux capacitor/time travel capability might help me win some races...

1) An RB4 GTR
2) RB4, UF 1000 and XF GTI rally cars
3) A sprintcar
4) A pickup and/or CTS-esque version
5) A Land Rover clone and/or MPV

All of them would be enough to keep me happy, especially deliberatly flipping the chelsea tractor.

Hm, acually the BTCC-like idea of TBO class with slicks, etc. could fit into the same clas as the UFR/XFR. And thus, we get a RWD (XR) and an AWD (RB). The FXO stays FWD, but we all have what we want

Remember, Coke and rum ...ok.
Coke and Jack even better.

DeLoreon and coke ... hey, forget about it.

Won't break my heart to leave this one out.

I would like a twin engined Honda GX160 Pro Kart (a type of go kart suiteable for endurance racing) and of course a nice out door race track - and maybe put an indoor track where we can lay out courses with tyre stacks .
