Sweet! We got 1!!!!!!
A box that will run a driving game can't be too hard to assemble. -Strongest i7 windows 7 era box with ram and a graphics card stuffed into it?
Should we set a goal for a Christmas race?
So going to smoke @TheFoo
Ha, looks great above! Are there any LR fans here? I get the sense that this is more of a speedster, Porsche crowd, which is great, but I'm looking to upgrade my trusty 2013 RRS, which is looking a little dated.
I'm not a huge car guy, but do occasionally go off roading in Vermont (took some courses there, which is a ton of fun if you haven't done it, if nothing else, for the scenery and the drops!).
I enjoy the kick of my RRS, and notice the newer models of RRS '21 or RR 21' and the Defender 20' (the three models toward which I gravitate) steer very heavily toward V6 models (without jumping to 100K range quickly! with supercharged engines). Again, I'm unfamiliar with most of car specs, hence turning here, but my gut tells me that there'd be some drop off compared to my 2013 V8 machine, even though the 0-6 second stats look insanely fast.
Anyone have experience with the newer models or thoughts on some of the latest techs.
Sure but I'll end up down yet another rabbit hole with a $5K machine and another $5K in Fanatec gear. For now the Logitech wheel and pedals (about $300) and my xbox work great.
This does look appealing however:

that looks sweeeeeet!
Wonder if those nomex fireproof racing gloves would make me faster? Surely they couldn’t hurt, right ?.
Not a LR expert either, so I can’t give an informed buying opinion, but I can weigh in on engines - I too was afraid of the industry shift away from V8’s but modern forced induction tech has made 6cyl options all better, with no drawbacks besides worse sound.Ha, looks great above!

That's the one! It's super beautiful and I've learned a lot. Not that I get a ton of time to go off roading, but it's certainly an experience and there's a nice sense of knowing what to do.
