I thought that was pretty good myself. anyway, I see your listing of hobbies is quite musical. I would have like to be involved with music somehow, but I cant read music, dont plan an instrument, and cant sing..and i listen to rap music, which people dont consider music anyway. But i would like to produce, that would be cool. good luck with all that you got going on, the recording industry is very shady

it didnt have a whole lotta length, but even if it did, the rc car could still beat a full size car going 0-60 and on 1/8th mile. check out this link, this car is set up just for drag, http://www.competitionx.com/Showroom1/TC3_Drag.html

Take a look at his times and speeds, bet keep in mind it is only 1/8th mile, 1/4 mile would be out of radio range

Forza was rated higher than GT4 by somemags, and others it's on par. The physics are great, and there is a wide selection of cars. Tunings good, and you can even throw in some non ricery visual mods too. Maybe a few ricer parts too, but everyhting visual in that game other than paint, vynil, window tints, and wheels, actually DOES something. Great game.

Halo 2 Gamertag is Easter Monkey but my friendslist is full. PM me your gamertag and I can delete someone I never play with to add you.

is forza realistic as it says it is, like if i put such and such in a certain car in the game, it will have the same in real life? oh and i dont get on Halo 2 that often because something always goes wrong with my internet connection or i always end up in games with hackers, and i dont have gamers tag of my own i use my friends

well it's hard to say. For the most part yes, but parts are all ordered on a 3 stage basis: street, clubsport, and Racing. There aren't specific companies. also some mods are car specific which is good and realistic. Like the Rx-7's engine can be turboed, but not supercharged. wen other cars can be supercharged. However so mods are wayy off. Like racing engine tune says "ctrenghten pushrods, higher lift cam, bore out cylendars, etc." even with the Rx7 that doesn't have cams. I would compair other cars but I can't think right now. But let's say you buy a street turbo, it would be equal to the average cheap stage 1 turbo, but without brand specifics, you couldn't say it's accurate. Also the visual upgrades are real and you can buy them from real company names and etc. Like mazdaspeed body kits for all mazdaspeed editions of the mazdas in that game. and boomex bumpers that you could go to a website and order for your car in real life.
