Er I didn't think of that. Perhaps if its at the same angle as this mean R32, then people could see the hatchback part.

Hmm, that might work too... You'd prolly wanna write SilEighty somewhere on it too though, just so you can get your point across domokun

Maby along the bottom skirt. I would want to leave plenty of room on the windscreen for a "J2" "DoLuck" and other cool sponcers and D1 references. BTW do you know who is the driver of J2? or do the numbers change from season to season. If that number is taken what would be the lowest unsnagged number?

Never Mind I just got a list of the who's who. J2 is taken. But I guess I would be Z1 (as in ZA (the abrieviation for South Africa))

Mmm Pontiac really seems to be pushing the GTO as a drift car, could it really be not that bad for drifting, or is it too heavy for beginners?

Skip the GTO, it only looks like its drifiting, they really just videoed it spinning out and getting lucky probably xd

Anyway, as for asking what the favorite type of racing is, I couldnt decide between all of those. I love GT racing (Not just Japanese, but international!), Im also a Nascar fan and I am beginning to like the Craftsman series. And I love t watch Rally Racing in the WRC (Which is what the World Rally Associations circut is called). So next time put an option for ALL! in your poll blaugh

My pop said that it's actually just a front-wheel drive version of a C5 Corvette. THe one Rhyse Millen drives just has a modified rear-wheel drive train I supposed...
GM is only pushing it because they wanna get in on the scene and try to make some money. But in the end, the public knows who the best drivers are, and it certainly isn't Rhyse.

What is overdrive? Is it a system? Is it a better built stouter engine, or is it a engine with a higher rev limiter?

Overdrive is simply a larger drive gear used in commercial vehicles. It's main purpose is to allow the engine to run at lower RPMs so you can save gas. It doesn't make the car go any faster, which is why it's not put on race cars. Also, it isn't essential for a daily driver to have one, so some cheaper model cars may not have an overdrive gear. On manual cars, the top gear (5th or 6th) is usually the overdrive gear, while earlier 4-speed cars did not have an overdrive gear.

Ah, ok that makes sence. Right now I am contemplating moving to America. Purly based on the availability of cars, cheap parts, and a whole range of driving conditions. Not to mention I would rather be tuneing Skylines, RX7's and other nice Gems. We just don't get many here. and I HATE OPAL CORSA's, and Golf Mk1s! I wouln't be able to live with myself if I had to tune them for a living.

Any suggestions on where I should move?
