    Yea, I suspect it's just a premium one. The interior meshes (or lack thereof) of the standard cars is the reason to not have an interior view.....so yea, I bet not.


    I chose the subaru because I remember the shot of that car getting the door ripped off on the trailer. Also, I was hoping to get the hood to come off/open and see what the engine mesh looked like. I managed to get it to pop open for a moment when smashing into the wall, but I couldn't move the camera angle past the wall to be able to see under it.

    did you pass the Top Gear Challenge(s) in the Special Events yet? It opens for practice after you pass the VW bus one I believe.

    25 a spec and realized it's stupid to go past that as I don't have time to do hour long races.
    23 b spec.. my bspec bob likes owning his competitors.

    Yeah but you can paint over the white. I've done it on both my Speed Six RM and Impreza RM. However the black graphics on some of the models, like the Impreza, don't take well to dark colors so keep that in mind when choosing a paint color.

    The Honda Sports Concept. It was probably meant as a replacement to the NSX so it's not a bad car. It's way better than what you get for the Roadster 4-hour that's next.

    It's in my shared garage right now if you want to check it out. It's a pretty fun car but I haven't done much with it. Won the Speed Six somewhere along the line and decided to RM it.

    BTW I still have a NASCAR (Home Depot one) for trade. I have no use for it since I won it in the NASCAR school series and it ended up being the same car I already had. I now have three of the damn things and both of the Home Depot cars I have can go, really. Looking for old rally cars or some of those supercars that occasionally go for 300-400k.

    I took the plunge and got a 2J race car to see what it was all about since the AI was giving me fits in it in certain races. This car makes the vintage race car event easy, even with B-Spec drivers. You can't adjust the downforce on it; I was hoping it went all the way to 100 with the second motor on it. It sticks to corners like mad but needs some LSD tweaks in order to prevent some wheelspin when really getting on it. Beware that it only has a 3-speed box but still retains good acceleration and top end.

    Anyone using the Logitech GT5 wheel? I really want to get one of these, but they seem to be very hard to find.

    GT5 is supposed to be a step up from the Driving Force, I think.


    Edit: n/m, I was thinking of the G25.

    I bought Jason one for Christmas, he's currently building a seat setup for it. They are rather hard to find, now anyway. I had to go to the MOA, it was the only place within 25 miles of our home that had one.

    Question, in the used car lot I came across an early 2000's Legacy GT wagon that was a twin turbo model...I know I could do a quick google search and find out if this actually existed, but its interesting because it produced the same power as the WRX STi 5-door of the same time period.

    Thoughts...

    Yeah, it existed. Most JDM engine importers that have Subaru engines available will list the TT EJ20. It's pretty much worthless though. There was no need for 2 of them on there. It's kindof a novelty item. But yes, it did exist as a production car.

    Jason does not need a seat. Jason had 2 Sparco EVO2 seats in his basement collecting dust.
