Topic: I know this is unlikely but: Legend Cars?

I've been saying for a while that it'd be awesome to see a full-scale Legends car, with the fenders and running boards and the nice low/sleek look and everything like a Legends car just a bit bigger.

yeah, and if you made a legend track that was very big, you could put them in there and have something very similar to legand cars

I was thinking about that Nick I'm not to knowledgeable about what it takes to make a Mod but if they scale everything up seems like they could make it work and still get the size right. But if not a vintage modified mod would be awesome too.

NR2003 has what's called a box model. It's the outer perimeter of the car when it touches another object. So any mod must be the size of the cup car to act right on the track when it bumps into things.

Also, physics. Every legend car I have seen has a 1200CC motorcycle engine producing roughly 80 to 100 horsepower. The lowest horsepower in NR2003 is 450 HP.

The lightest car in NR2003 is 2800 lbs for the PTA physics.

So I don't see it happening anytime from any crew that I know of that actually makes mods.

Here is the thing, Physics don't matter. Look at the DTR series, still going strong after all these years, yet none of the mods really handle realistically. Hell 99% of the mods out there today for this game in reality drive nothing like their real life counterparts. For instance your DirtLM mod, there are no physics in this game that even come close to representing a DirtLM.

Legends car at 5/8th scale have....
125hp
1300lbs

So a mod for them scaled up to 8/8th or 1:1 scale would be (if my math is correct)
200hp
2080lbs

So you throw PTA physics under it and call it an "outlaw" series (like many of the non INEX sanctioned series are).

now that is an interesting idea, blowing everything up in scale. regardless if that was done for a legends mod, that would still be a pretty cool track for the cup cars. it would be like racin' micro machines. never thought of that before.

[Robert Vining]

I don't know why you brought up the dirt late model mod... but the tracks we run on slide pretty well thank you.

i agree with Fisha about the physics, they dont matter anymore, there are hobby stocks, street stocks, sprint cars... none of them even get close to the physics of nr2003
