Cars The Need For Speed

[Błażej Wianecki]

Please, go easy on me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure I read sth about gt2 variant in this thread. Is it also planned or am I imagining things? It's not a request by any means. Three models of 993 is already a dream come true!

Got the final physics yesterday from Jason, not only for the Carrera, but also the Carrera 4 and Turbo, so this one will be packed

Speechless...how awesome is that!? Beware man, this thread is turning into the hottest thing in streetcar sim racing

I've said I will donate the model for that purpose, but for now I'm not planning on doing the GT2 myself.

No way! That is awesome. Some crazy person built that out of Lamborghinis and a 69 Corvette!

Not so bad actually, he had his idea and did it better than most kit cars I've seen.

It was based on a Lotus Esprit, I think.

As a kid there was this one time my dad came home from working abroad and brought me a model of my favorite car, the Dodge Viper RT10. I just saw this mod today and immediately downloaded it and tried it with the Oculus Rift. to put it in one word... INCREDIBLE. It was as close to driving the real car as I can get. Unbelievable experience! Job well done!

Someone brought up the 1990 CERV III in that article.....

So had to fire up the ol' Time Machine™ again to load Test Drive 3 and appreciate this beauty in all it's very, very low polygon goodness

At least the presentation images and in-car view were pretty decent for the time

That brought back some good memories, no doubt it'll be awesome to have it in AC

At the time I was a greater fan of the Mythos, even got the 1:18 Revell back in the day.

There's always this...

They did love the round and super flat shape back then, GM, Ferrari, Italdesign, Mercedes did it with the C111. Somehow that never made it to production supercars they went straight from classic to stealth fighter edgy.

I had that one too! Very cool looking vehicle

I remember that from NFS2, will this thread get a sequel as well?

My favourite at the time was the Italdesign / Lamborghini Cala, but looking at that C2 now, I think that has aged far better!

I'm still modeling the interior of the Corvette... The number of vents is just too damn high!

Wow that's looking great, good progress so far!

Am i the only one, who dont understand that drivetrain-configuration ?
Is it a 2-speed or 3-speed, or do you add the numbers, so its actually a five-geared gearbox ?

Drivetrain: 3-speed turbo hydramatic 2-speed gearbox with AWD.

It's a 3 speed auto with an overdrive unit attached to the back so it has 6 possible ratios. (also 2 reverse speeds)

I'm gonna be honest and say by experience I've hit 140+mph in my c4 and it felt like i was going 60-70. Don't let the ugmo deceive you, it's a sports car engineered for high speed driving. And no I'm not bragging about my car being fast, more I'm stating that it's better than you think AT going fast. As far as comparing it to a monaro.. have you seen how big a monaro is compared to a c4?

Downforce helps a lot with that as well. I know 70 on the highway in my 2004 Viper feels like you're cruising around town. Doing 70 in my 67 Dart is a whole new experience. The Viper actually has some downforce at speed, even without a wing, so it feels rock solid and stable on the highway. Most cars will actually generate lift at higher speeds, so that's on reason they tend to feel less stable.

I'm sure most everybody here has probably heard the story about the evolution of the famous Lamborghini Countach rear wing...If you haven't, I cued up the video to start exactly when Harry Metcalf begins discussing the rear wing origins. I highly recommend watching all ~24min of this video. Harry does a superb job detailing the history of Lamborghini's.
