Holy ram, so you are the one causing price jumps
Post screenshots of the games you play on GNU/Linux

Two of the best cars in this game. Altough, I might have found a golden goose right among the starting cars cuz it's at lvl 250 and is already fully capable of defeatin' that Porsche.
And btw, this particular game runs a lot better on Linux than it does on Spyware - I've tested it. There's A LOT of stuttering on Spyware with this game (NFS Payback).

This comment is just for fun...
In the real world, you'd have to spend so much money making the Camaro a 'restomod' if you wanted it to be able to outrun a modern 911. The Camaro, while 'small for its day' (an answer to the 'pony car' market), did not handle well by modern standards.
Heck, it (and the first four generations of it) came with a solid axle rearend, drum brakes, bias-ply tires, etc...
(I do like the wide-body look on the one you have in the game.)
The extra HP in your game version is also going to help. They originally shipped with a maximum of 375 HP (from the 396 ci version of the SS). The SS versions came with a 350 ci engine that put out a claimed 300 HP, though it also came with a heavier suspension and disc brakes on the front (with drum brakes on the rear).
I can't tell which exact 911 is in your picture, but it looks like a GT2 or GT3 model -- maybe a GT3 RS (which are amazing). The GT2 RS is also amazing.
If it's a modern GT3 RS, it's going to do 0 to 60 (0 to 100 km/hr) in about 3 seconds. It has an LA of about 1.3, so it will take a lot of g-force to lose traction in corners.
That's something you'll have a hard time beating with a Camaro SS, even if you've gone through the whole restomod process.
In the real world, you'd do well starting with a 6 gen Camaro. There's the ZL1, which is easy to modify for higher outputs. Then, if you want to go wild, there's the 1LE Extreme Track Package. That too will take an aggressive tune and not explode.
In the real world, you can get a pristine 1969 Camaro SS (with the 396 ci engine) for about $150k. It'd cost you (at least) twice that to modify it to the point where it could keep up with a modern 911
You can get a pristine 1LE Extreme for under $100k. If you have the patience, you can get one for less than that at auction.
Also, a 911 GT3 RS is going to cost about $250k, but you'll likely spend more than that adding options. It'd still be less expensive (and less of a hassle) than it'd be to modify the old Camaro. Plus, it comes with a warranty!
Again, this is just for fun. It should not be seen as serious content.
Cayman.
GT4 RS? I probably should have picked up on that.
And, now that you say it, it answers a question I had about the size and height of the wing. I figured it was mostly just presenting an inaccurate blob.
You can get a 718 Cayman GT4 for not a whole lot of money (for what it is).
I really do need to get into sim racing. Well, 'need' is a strong word.
The NFS series has never been anything close to simulation. But for many years there haven't been any good racers and when you've played 99% of them, only NFS is left.
As for these cars on "NFS Payback": with the tuning NFSP provides I can get the Cayman do 370 kph tops at performance lvl 276 (top right corner of the screenshots; lvl 400 is the maximum) whereas the Honda S2000 at lvl 220 already does about 340 kph top speed. I don't dare imagine what's gonna happen to that Porsche when S2000 reaches lvl 276.
Way back when, I played the Road & Track edition of Need For Speed. They prided themselves on using real physics models, but things were much more basic back then. They dumped that idea soon after. Ah, well...
