haha mines not tuned like that, i got mine beefed up for towning trailers and hauling car trailers around! At first when i got it i wanted it to just puke but after awhile i realized id probly break more then it was worth spending the money on!

What about the rpms? Diesel can go max 4500 and petrol like 8000? What about that? Or are they all petrol engines?

A cummins motor in a dodge has a max of 3200rpms unless tuned for racing they can get into the 4k range

3200 RPM???? wow, i can rev my TD 4 cyl 2.8 hilux running 13 psi boost to about 4 1/2thou RPM, not much good over 4 grand though.

My dad his Nissan Teranno 2 has a 2.8 tdi, open exhaust system (sounds really nice), K&N air filter and is chipped too. Has around 170 hp and only needs 11 seconds or so to 100 km/h. Only too bad the gearbox is f*cked up every 100,000 km.. :p Clutch still works fine after 300.000 km.

Hey guys, just playing the demo, seems ok...Buuut a few things concern me.

the car seems to not have enough weight to it, it doesnt give you the feeling that it has much mass.

it is to hard to roll over as well, thrashing around at speed turning sharply over hills should see it flip over... i should be nervous to thrash it around the track in fear of tipping it over.

the car should not reset itself.. if i want it to sit upside down for a hour, or be stuck hoplessly somewhere,i should be able to,not have the car just flip over by itself like a playstation 1 arcade racer

in 2wd without lockers engages,there is still to much traction,in the mud terrain, i can get through nearly all the level in 2wd(except for that fun boggy mud) without the rear diff locked,it should be opening up 1 wheel then trying to spin 2 then 1 again,the engine doesnt even have enough power to spin the rear wheels in 2L properly.

when you let the tyres down,you should be able to get them to be flat,or near flat,i let the tyres all the way down and they were barely bagged out.

with the lockers, not sure if its me or the demo,but i cant lock front and rear diffs independantly,that has to change. someone let me know if im missing something

free roam has to be included,surely you could have at least 1 level that lets you just explore and climb big mud hills and rocks, if there isnt some sort of free roam,i dont think i will be buying it,and iv had 4 of my friends say the same thing,im sure everyone else interested in this game feels the same way.

also damage is a must,proper damage, doesnt have to have good visual damage, mechanical damage is the key... like popping a tyre of the bead, damaging a locker from engaging/disengaging under load or being silly. over heating from revving its box off, maybe even a petrol engined car running off a couple of cylinders from driving through too deep water?

Those are just a couple of my observations great game though... i hope the coil sprung cars wobble around and bounce more

Cheers
