Random rant: I've got this game called Midtown Madness. What makes this game fun is that you're in the city of Chicago rather than a race-way and have to dodge traffic and all that during some of the races. There is also cruise mode when you can just drive around, mess up other people's cars and otherwise just have fun.
What's really fun however is modifying cars with your own stats. I spent some time tweaking a Ferrari model by giving it the mass of a freight train (16000 mass) and the horsepower of an, albeit smaller, battleship (60,000hp). Yet somehow, with super-tensile solids or something, the car can hold together. The durability rating is also set into the billions, which makes this car nearly invincible to nothing less than an atomic shape charge.
The best part about driving a "car" that is that it is like driving a nimble tank in the shape of a Ferrari. In fact, it could probably crush any tank thrown at it. When on the roads cars are blasted aside like they didn't exist, especially when driving at speeds in the 400-500 mph category (if you can control it that long) or even an easy-to-control 184 mph when in second gear. Quite often it is more entertaining to simply kill all the opponent's cars and win at your own pace than try to outdrive them, or perhaps you can ram into a bridge and break it which results in the rest of the drivers falling into the water.
Now if I could only get one for real life. I'll try posting a pick sometime.
