GTL corvette - sounds glorious!

For those that haven't tried it yet, I made a video. The vette also does
some cool 2nd gear drifts.

Yeah, like they use vintage tyres.

Curiously I find it more immersing racing in a current series than
somehow being transported back in time. I know it is all fantasy but
with GPL I had an odd feeling "racing" against Jim Clark et al.

Though I have no issue with a WW2 FPS - just call me strange...

The Jag doesn't sound bad either.

Uh...yeah, like the treaded, DOT-legal 5.25M-13's on the Elan or the
pathetically undersized 5.50/6.00-15's of the Vette (trying to contain 550NM
of torque). The 'Vette seems properly gripless, but the Elan sticks
amazingly well. Guess that's what 1450lbs will do for you, even with hard
compounds and period-correct aspect ratios.

I believe the '76's can run slicks; that should be interesting. Lots of
power and mechanical grip without much in the way of downforce. Yum...

Ya know Uwe, your MS bashing was kinda cute years ago. Now its just plain
silly.

No one is forcing you to use anything MS. Why do you feel the need to
belittle anyone that does? Ego?

There is a reason why MS has the market and it hasnt a thing to do with
politics. Its about quality software, and while the open source (ponytail
people) crowd believes they have a competitive product just look at the
numbers. Even free, open source hasnt any market share. Whats that say?
To me it says "not ready for prime time"...

Mitch, with statements like "open source hasn't any market share", I'm
guessing you don't work in IT?

You guessed wrong.

WTH has open source market share have to do with IT... Economics maybe, not
IT..

OK perhaps I worded it wrong, Ive been known to do that and more than likely
it isnt the last time..

OK then. "There is a reason why MS isnt losing Market Share to the open
source communtiy". Better? Sheesh, just a bit anal are we?

The same reason IE's userbase isn't being eroded by Firefox?
