For canyon races you should use the Challenger Concept. Handles like an Exotic.

Here's a few things that might help: Most of the 'heavyweight' muscle cars (IE: the ones with a performance advantage over others in their class) such as the Chrysler 500, Dodge Charger and Plymouth Hemicuda behave a bit more roughly than the tamer, crapper muscle cars (generally the modern ones lik...

There was a featurette on topgear about a vauxhall victor (a nearly compact-sized muscle car from the '70s,I think) that was modified to go faster than a Bugatti Veyron. There's absolutely no reason why a muscle car shouldn't go fast IRL, especially the modified ones with alumnium or carbon fibre bo...

I'd be interested in seeing this as well, for both Carbon and Most Wanted. I remember that there was a thread on this (search for 'rubberband') that showed you how to hexedit MW so it would disable this - but unfortunately it seems to be for a different country or version of MW because my offsets sh...

As title. Is there the same rediculously lame rubberbanding in NFS Carbon as there was MW? MW was rediculous as hell when it came to this, as I'd often get an enourmous lead over some noob AI opponents only for them to catch up over 30 seconds worth of lead time in one lap.

I'm not sure, but it might be FSAA instead of AA, meaning it basically just dumps a load of blur over the whole screen, giving your computer that 'TV screen' effect which makes console games look better than they actually are.

Yeah, I guess it is kinda off topic; I just noticed your post on it while I was checking through the thread, decided to post a reply as part of my reply to the thread and then forgot what I was originally going to post. -_-

You might need to watch some car test driving video, lotus lacks power seriously. Yap, Lotus is very very nimble due to it's weight at around 700kg, but it has only 120hp !. Its engine is refined for shaving off serious weight, but it's vulnerable to serious tuning. In other hand, Rx7 weights aroun...

Well that's at least a respectable lineup - the hemicuda and challenger were both (I think) banned from daytona and similar races for being too good, and the Boss Mustang is awesome.

The idea of tiers sounds kind of retarded to me. Anyone who modifies cars will know that you can turn pretty much anything (with a few obvious limitations) into pretty much anything with a bit of work. After all, there's that guy with the Vauxhall Victor (Vauxhall has always sucked in most peoples' ...

Are the cars in Carbon relatively realistically set out or are they complete BS, ala Most Wanted? Namely, can you upgrade crapper cars to the point that they're actually able to beat something other than a bicycle, and are the muscle cars actually any good or do they fall to the generic 'takes eight...

Well, when you add nitromethane dragsters, gas turbines and solid-fuel rocket cars to the mix, the veyron looks extremely slow. What i'm meaning is street legal rather than production, I guess, since I seriously doubt you'd be able to use a dragster on the road.

Since this is a street lgal production car (more or less) with faster acceleration and higher top speed than the veyron (as well as being produced 3 years earlier), why isn't it rated as the fastest car in the world?

It looks utterly hideous, but for a mid-eighties car, the Corvette Sledgehammer was pretty damn fast.

As for my own taste in muscle cars, I definately like the look of the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Holden Kingswood Monaro GTS. XB GT Mustangs are nice, too.

"Unpimp zee auto!"

Vell, the Holden Kingswood line is Teh Sex. That's the reason mostly.

It ain't too hard. My dad and I converted a early 90's model holden six from EFI/electronic to carb over a weekend, so I guess it's more to do with the engine. Also, I was referring to the balance of the engine itself, not inside the car; and the reason I want to use a lexus V8 is the lack of weight...

I generally prefer V8s due to the better balancing. A '73 HQ has a pretty gigantic engine bay that can hold anything up to a 500 cube bigblock, though over that the chassis will start to suffer.

Hey, I'm thinking of dropping a LS400's V8 into my '73 HQ Kingswood (for an increase in power over it's existing Holden Red S6) and wondering what everyone's opinion on the Lexus V8s are like. From what I've seen they seem to be fairly popular, both for putting into midsize cars that come with crapp...

are these unlocked by finishing the game entirely, including the unqiue performance upgrades?

Might hack my starlevel with Cheat O Matic or somesuch.

In other news, I think I actually succeeded in making the car look worse, not better, by experimenting.

If it's not 10-star, I can't get it on the DVD covers and thus can't actually finish the game. Kinda makes things difficult.

Blah, anymore than 5 stars and still a half-decent looking car are physically impossible things.

Time to go play a different game.

Vell, if they look terrible, it's kinda inconsequential :/

Problems being:

- All the 'good' rims look like crap
- I don't think there's a single non-bling looking scoop in the game
- Same goes for spoilers

The hood -should- be the high-level split hood (the one with the intake and such), but I haven't unlocked it in this game yet.
