LOTS Of Daytona USA Goodies: More Forza Cars, Flyers, Etc.

Occasionally, I do a Google Image Search for Daytona USA 2 pics and I usually find something new.  Here's something:

* Check out this Japanese site I found.  Some guy made car designs for Daytona USA 1 cars.  The Buick GNX!!  These are for Forza 2 though.  :( I don't know if you can download them.

 

 

Now I know some people don't care about this aspect, but I REALLY LIKE the multiple color schemes...nice, I tried to do that with my Forza 3 D2 cars.  Like if you're going to make the AT Scorpio or Phantom, just make the MT, P1, P2, etc. versions.  Oooo, I would love to own a set of Hot Wheels like this...I like the pretty cars.

Also, on the same site, there's a few more D2 emulation shots.  Not sure how they got there but save 'em anyway.

* Not only this, but someone points out that in the movie Dude, Where's My Car, there's an arcade scene where you can see a Daytona USA 2 cabinet.  Now I must plead ignorance here because I've never seen the movie, but is this really true?  I tried looking up YouTube clips of this scene, but found nothing.  EDIT: That site was taken down, re-uploading pic now...

* And this is an old classic.  Someone brings the Daytona USA 2 banner flag to a concert in the UK.  This is from UK Resistance.  I know that this is what the Daytona 2 banner looks like, but why someone decided to bring that flag, I don't know.  Looks legit to me.

And this is the true Daytona 2 banner:

I would love to get my hands on that banner, but they're super-rare--I'll be lucky to find one.  We'll see.

* Model3 emulation of Scud Race and Daytona USA 2 is moving along.  This is a forum topic.  There has already been attempts in the past although those have sucked horribly.  I'm kind of in the dark about this but I presume we can get a decent working version within a year.  Why, this will be interesting, but I will discuss the emulation later.

------------

* In the Countdown Thread in the NASCAR 2011: The Game forum, someone posts a picture of a Daytona 2 car.  It's the #7 Tomahawk Motor Oil car.  Now that came out of nowhere.  Strange where Google Images can take you.  Hey, at least there's one D2 fan there.

------------

* Last thing: see if you can buy the Japanese Daytona 2 manual here.  I already own it but if you want to figure out this site, go ahead and try it.  91 dollars, 8000 yen!  Brilliant!  EDIT: Months later, I revisited that site and bought some Daytona 1 books, click here for more info...
