You're insane!

This may be a silly question but is the British AC the same car as the Shelby?

Cos I've already got an AC 427 S/C and if I can avoid spending 530,550cr......

Edit: The AC is 5bhp less.......can I race my Cobra instead of your cobra Funky?

My videos are here.

If you need money to buy the Cobra, try the Costa di Amalfi (Easy) in Special Condition Events. Each time you win it you get a Rally Raid car that you can sell for something like $300k.

Swoop I have both and they definitely sound different. Shelby version sounds much better, a lot like the real thing. I don't know if physics are different or not. Go ahead and drive it, but you'd be doing yourself a favor to get the real one.

Talyn's running now.

His 1st comment: This is horrible.

Talyn's 1st lap: 2'07.198 and he went off at every corner without exception.

Did I mention you're insane?

Swoop · « **Reply #6 on:** April 25, 2005, 05:53:58 PM »

Talyn's 2nd comment: I'm scared.

But he's down to 2'00.103

Talyn's 3rd comment: Ooo **** me!

Damn I need a webcam cos this is amusing as hell.

This might be the car that sends you to the Logitech store.

I'll let you know when he's finally thrown the controller at the wall in disgust.

Talyn's 4th comment: Awwww, bit of handbraking there!

I think he's insane as well.

Talyn's 5th comment: This is a ******* of a course. Well, no it's a ******* of a car. Could be both.

Swoop · « **Reply #12 on:** April 25, 2005, 06:01:42 PM »

Ok, now he's trying left thumb braking.
