These people wouldn't know fluid movement if a pail of water hit em' in
the face...

Viper is a fine, fine game, and it's release is well anticipated...

I know of few other racing sim on the market that goes thru the trouble
of:

1.  Showing realistic levels of smoke coming up from the skid
    marks as they are laid down on the track.

2.  Makes a reasonable effort to show realistic damage.

3.  Makes a darned good effort at showing body leans, and 
    other forces.

4.  Has sound effects that are in sync with, and relate too, what
    the car is actually going thru.

I could go on forever...

It's not quite perfect SIM quality, but it sure is a hell of a lot
better than NFS3, which is pure arcade inside and out.

Viper will most certainly be in my shopping cart come the 23rd.
