PONTIAC's Are BACK!!!!!! NASCAR 2

Drivers:

I was getting a little concerned over the early reporting of FASTLAP 97
as the Fords were
dominating "UNRSETRICTED" races and the Chevies were dominating "Dega".
So I
talked to one of the "GODS" of NASCAR racing and said ok.. What is going
on.  He told
me the Chevies drivers had been instructed not to go fast at all the
tracks except DEGA for
fear of a manufactures PENALTY.  I laughed as he was pulling my leg as
usual.  Than I
contacted the "SUPER" team of Smokkinu, smokkinu and smookinu otherwise
know as
Dave G, Robert P, and Mark Carney.  I assigned them the task of beating
the Fords, they
did it.  I even asked POOR Mark to drive a Pontiac as it had wallered
down down in all
the page rankings.  Well I have good news to report and that is the
SUPER TEAM
has restored my faith in PAPYRUS and the NASCAR 2 game.  Notice that the

two tracks below have all 3 mfg in 1-3 postions at a couple of tracks.
And notice that

Hell
thats even getting in Alec Flory Territory (Still hasnt reported his
laps) Sorry Alec F
I couldnt resist..

Oh well,  Peace and Harmony has been restored now and we can all go
racing at
NRO !!!!

PS.    FASTLAP 97 still has Pat Dotson ranked as the #1 driver for all
16 tracks!!!
PSS.    SMOKKINU SUPER TEAM (SST) is on top in the with a healthy .331
lead.

PONTIAC's Are BACK!!!!!! NASCAR 2

by Philip M. D'Amat » Sun, 17 Aug 1997 04:00:00

I've had this question since I purchased N2 about a month ago.
What really is the difference between the manufacturers in game terms?
Anyone know?
I found some comparative info on NASCAR.COM that shows the fairly
significant differences between the horsepower and torque of the 3 engines.
 Is this modeled in the game?  For that matter, are the aerodynamic
differences modeled as well?

Thanks,
Phil D.
