Its not me, it was a screenshot from need for speed: porsche unleashed.

The colour and wheel choice is mine though. It is a downloaded 2.8RSR, and is a real ***** to drive but one of my favourites.

Unfortunately, EA have almost killed the online scene for this game because the cars are almost impossible to edit and new ones cant be added.

This RSR is just a tweaked RS, with changes to the handling and power(!) You can put different wheels on though, like these baddass ones! There are lots of downloads like this available, a good point to start looking is www.nfscheats.com However, if you try and use them online EA will ban you.

I have however got a Beta Tester CD for Motor City Online, but I haven't had enough time to try it yet

I have a '72 911 track/autocross car (lowered, stiff with 3.2L and RS flares) with front: 8.5x17 Fikse FM5 with 245-40x17 Hoosiers and rear" 10x17 Fikse FM5 with 275-40x17 Hoosiers. All fender lips are rolled and flattened, oil return lines have been adapted, spring plate nuts have been shaved down. This is extreme I know, but it is possible.
