I ran a 1:59 tonight in my built Sti. I was happy with that. The course is fun once you get to know it.

I broke 2:00 in a way modded R32 Skyline. Now I need to build a Scoob that will do it.

Exhaust. They put it there in a lot of race cars because the low pressure there helps to scavenge the exhaust.

Negative, ghostrider. That's the fuel filler.

While putting fire crackers on the side skirts for that "fake side exhaust backfire look".

I still like the idea of us all using the exact same car and same settings. The oil change comment above reminds me that even if we use the same car and same settings, different mileage will make the cars slightly less identical.

This does send us more towards a license test or arcade mode. Actually license test should rule out traffic too.

We just all need to get caught up in the licenses. (although I am a fan of taking shortcuts if the game allows it)

Actually I think the 22b is so old oil change doesn't do it any good any more.
