Utterly, utterly wrong, but hey, whatever to sell a product. Even if that product is the greatest car in NFS2, and mind-snappingly rare.

Yeah, I remember how I used to study the cars' profiles in the NFS games, if you asked me back then I would be able to recite every cars stats. NFS also made me a car fanatic.

Need for Speed 2 SE: best NFS evAr!
(Porsche Unleashed claims the runner's up, though. And maybe Hot Pursuit 2, but that doesn't work on my computer. Everything after that is just poo.)

That is a pretty nice color combo, I have been looking for a Glenwood Green or Laguna Blue, but the dark green with that Mosport exterior is not that bad. Just seems every week the prices for one jump up. I knew I should have picked one up when they were worth dirt.
