Re: Barely Street Legal League [RACE 2 RESULTS]

If 07cobaltgirl has any issues with the way that im looking at taking the roleplaying aspect feel free to PM me and raise the concern so i can deal with it through an alternative piece of roleplaying before anything goes too far. In terms of Rayyan he is a veteran RAF pilot who is in his early 30's who took over his family fortune (Sabre Automotive) upon retiring from the Air Force

Re: Barely Street Legal League [RACE 2 RESULTS]

OK, I'm questioning even more! If we're fixing the engine could we change stuff to do with the engine other the top and bottom end because that would be constructing a whole new engine?

Re: Barely Street Legal League [RACE 2 RESULTS]

I'd say no changes, its extra work for you and for no good reason, the track list was available for everyone to see some picked high speed cars, some corner carvers, some made a balance between. It's just the nature of a multi stage beast, you never hide that there were going to be all different kinds of events. Adding this will only cause confusion and fustration. *my 2 cents *

Gosh that takes me back, NFS:Underground was one of the freshest releases back in its day. And it actually had a damn good soundtrack. My go-to quintessential drag racing song is Black Betty.


Remindes me more of the Flatout2. Not that I'm implying that we should wreck our cars to pieces.

I couldn't agree with you more. People tuned their cars the way they did aiming for something specific. I traded crazy wheels points to have a faster car and top-speed for cornering grip, there is no reason to change that.

Re: Barely Street Legal League [RACE 2 RESULTS]

Ladies and Gentlemen. I present a gift for Strop. Something that both he, and this race, have been sorely lacking. I give you, the Gryphon Gear Truck, by Normandy Automotive.

It comes with a 6.4L Bi-Turbo Flat Plane V8, producing 1869 HP and 1126 Ft-Lbs of torque, connected to an 8-speed sequential gearbox. It goes from 0 to 62 MPH in 2.2 seconds and tops out at 225. It gets a decent 10.4 MPG as well. The suspension and breaks are by far and away some of the best we've come up with.

It completes the Top Gear test track in 1:15.39, that easily puts it in 4th place on their leader board. That means it's beaten the McLaren MP4, the Aventador and the Veyron SS to get there.

It completes the Automation Test Track in 2:15.04.

It completes Green Hell in 7:17.86

Credit to Kubboz for the model.

Re: Barely Street Legal League [RACE 2 RESULTS]

Damn, my poor Annihilator is really getting pummeled in the competition. The only cars it beats are the really old ones and the FF's, and those are probably going to beat it on craziness. I kind of regret going for points instead of doing my best to make it fast :/
Also, I really like those little stories you're writing for the events, Strop; they make the races so much more interesting and engaging. Of course, the interaction between the different characters is funny as hell, too :D

Since the races are already underway, why not share the stats of our cars? Here's mine:

I've also got a couple of rejected designs that didn't make it for one reason or another, tell me if you guys want me to post them.

Heh, that brings back some memories. I think this would be more fitting, though: http://youtu.be/DqWyI8CTzzA

Looks like we have a cheap and nasty contender here :)

[OOC]RP is one of my favorite things to do. It would be really hard for me to be offended. I can RP just about anything you can give, and throw it right back at you! I can take anything dished out. Be sure you can too! :D **FYI the Marine part, and the outfit is real-life[BIC]

*chuckles* RAF...I remember meeting some of those boys while in HK back in '91. They thought they owned a bar, and our squad (13 jarheads) showed them they did not. *smirks*

I have a thing for fighter jets and being a british citizen and living about 10 miles away from where eurofighter typhoons are assembled and about 15 miles away from the british contribution to the F35, RAF is where my heart is and im guessing the people you met where RAF gunners.

No engine changes allowed! In character reason is tbat these engines are by and large so crazy you won't have time to source, balance and test new parts in the extra time we do have, only replace components that (I'm presuming) you brought your own. Wheels and wings and splitters are much easier to adjust, hence the limitations.

Re: Barely Street Legal League [RACE 2 RESULTS]

Also omg vos that truck is ridiculous awesome, it couldn't be a better present to make up from truck slamming strops head (and damaging the truck but since it was deliberately old and non descript like a ford f350 or something similar, we didn't really care about that).

This is going in the story somehow...
