This one came to me from JustDavid (where's he been, ain't seen him lately?). I used this one for quite some time. I can relate only too well...
The "embedded beagle" is one I used for a long time. In 2004 when I bought my F-150 Lariat I noticed it very much resembled the back seat of my SuperCab. Thanks for reminding me! Yes, where is JustDavid?

I'm in the Honda, as always.
This Integra is named Shikari: the Hunter; it hunts McLarens and Porsches, with the occasional Skyline, Camaro, RX-7 or RS200 added to the menu.

If you're beating 240 MPH supercars in that, what are you running? Or is it only slightly modified? Nice little car!

1800cc turbo I4, not sure how much boost, but clearly tuned for high RPMs instead of torque. It's not the engine I posted a dyno chart for months ago.
590HP @ 11500rpm, 270 lb/ft @ 8500rpm
AWD with 3x LSDs, a nearly open front diff and aggressively locking centre and rear diffs.
The model should have a front airdam similar to a DTM car (Class 1 Touring Car), canards, a diffuser and a wing that resembles a WRC wing crossed with a GT wing because the physics file has pretty reasonable downforce. It should also have fender flares like an older DTM car to cover the 305 width tires.

And of course, low weight helps. It's about 900kg. I've got the smallest engine, the least torque, the least power (everything else is 650+ hp, the Camaros and Skyline top 800HP with insane amounts of torque) but one of the lighter cars (lightest AWD car, but the RWD NA FC3Ss weigh even less).

Of course the track layouts help, a top speed of 370km/h doesn't mean much if you can't get over 250km/h before the next corner. My car is drag limited to about 260km/h no matter the gearing, 270km/h with the lowest downforce setting possible.

That said, all the cars are running 7 speed sequential gearboxes and the gearing on the Porsches and McLarens both would limit them about 300-320km/h, but they'd accelerate significantly quicker than stock. The McLaren is a GTR spec McLaren, but without a restrictor on the engine (LeMans spec) and running GT2 tires like the Porsche instead of GT1 tires like the mod originally includes. Swapping the tires added 5 seconds at most tracks so I had to give the McLaren more power to keep up with the rest of the field.

It's a screenshot from Need for Speed Shift. I can't remember if it's Shift 1 or Shift 2.

I have them both. I should reinstall them and see if my computer can run them. Those graphics are lightyears ahead of the ones I've gotten used to.

Finally figured out how to steal the wing from an Impreza STi and put it on my Teggy.

Also, it finally spits fireballs when you downshift like it should. :bangles:
