NFS2SE was the best ever! I still remembering upgrading to a 4mb 3DFX card and drooling at the amazing graphics. That's one thing that started my love obsession with the McLaren F1.

I wish I still had that game

I feel exactly the same way, and the music HOW GOOD WAS THE MUSIC!?!

Since I have an original copy, if anyone wants the game PM seriously!

I can't get over how amazing this engine sounds, they ran this engine in 1951 by the way

They also made a H16 engine in the 60's Jim Clarke steered the beast to 1 victory but it was a bit of a dog, insane engineering though.

I love the note of these engines. I first heard one when my uncle loaned my old man a "Sounds of Goodward" (festival of speed) CD about 8 or 9 years ago. Awesome.

These engines were absolute ball busters, but inferior quality components and high RPM don't mix very well, so they were prone to failure A LOT.

If they made it today, with the improvement in material purities and manufacturing techniques, they would go forever!
