What do you think of the new look of need for speed? Instead of racing Porsches and Ferrari's you are racing Toyota's and Honda's. The cool part is that you can costumize your car to look really pimped

. Anyways, its pretty sweet,IMO, ill be picking it up this christmas. What bout u?

Well, living in LA, I come across many junk cars that have been upgraded. Frankly, Id rather drive some exotic car I cant afford in real life than some stupid overrated piece of crap import that I can see on every street. I was hoping they would have both, but nooooooooooo.

hehe, i have an article on it in my oh so beloved PSM mag, apparantly there are abot 25 - 30 cars and over 30 tracks. That doesn't sound too impressive, but when you consider that there at at least 200 upgrades PER car, it sounds a bit better. Theres supposed to be this really innovative paint system that lets you color and customize your car to your own taste, of course theres going to be nitrious oxide and various other forms of additional speed included from the respective companies (such as NOS, and uhh...i forget the rest). The game will be online playable, i'm not sure whether it will have cross platform SX
mpatibility yet, although that would kick a*$. Oh ya, the developers have also enlisted the help of well over 18 different upgrade companies to coincide witht he programming and make it more realistic, a few of these are AEM, Brembo, HKS, Nitrous Express, NOS, Plasmglow, and O.Z. Wheels. The cars so far that i know are in it are:
Nissan:
1992 240 SX
1999 Skyline R34 GTR

Honda
2002 Civic (ewww)

Toyota
1998 Supra

Mitsubishi
1999 Eclipse GSX
2003 Lancer Evo

Subaru
2003 Impreza

Ford
2003 Focus ZX3

Acura
2001 Integra Type R
2003 RSX

Hyundai
2003 Tiburon GT

Volkswagon
2003 Golf GTI 2.0

Mazda
1995 RX7

Dodge
1999 Neon

One thing that dissappoints me about this game is that no cops will be present, the developers feel that they don't want people to think that this is just a continuation to NFS HP II.

ya, uhh...what else, oh ya, theres gonna be 4 diff racing modes, Circuit, Sprint, Drags, and Drift.

Heres some screens

Pics gotten here

ya, anyways, i'm pretty stoked about this game
