November 27, 2008 Happy Thanksgiving from vDream! Pontiac Solstice GXP!
05:59pm by Cheechoo (Site)
Happy Thanksgiving to the American vDreamers! Get off of vDream and go spend some time with your families! Tryptophan awaits you, as well as some delicious pumpkin pie. I can’t wait! For those of you not in America… Happy fourth-Thursday-of-November…?
We’d like to introduce the long-overdue Pontiac Solstice GXP! A small pocket-rocket, this car is sure to be quick around the track, and I’m sure a blast to drive in real life. Have fun with the drop-top! Thank you to Daniel and Anas for finding the aftermarket parts.
For our Facebook users, we added a cool new feature so you can show off your vDream on your wall or your friends’ walls. Here’s the tutorial:
1. Click on the vDream icon at the top of your wall (it might be hidden in the drop down if you have a boatload of apps)
2. Select the car you want to post (if you want more cars, be sure to pick up an Atlas Parking Space. There are still only a few parking spaces left!)
3. Type in a comment… or talk some trash
4. Press “Post” and you’re done!
In light of Thanksgiving, I wanted to ask, what are you thankful for? Post a comment in the blog! We at vDream are most thankful for our dedicated users. You guys are what drives vDream, and although sometimes you guys can get a little rabid, foaming at the mouth and bouncing off walls and whatnot, we still love to see how excited you guys get about new cars, parts, and features.
Happy vDreaming, and Drive Safe today!

poop darnit, I’m sorta in a money crunch due to owning a maxed M3 and a near-maxed Viper, once the Atlas garage is out of spaces will there be another garage up after that?
- 07:46pmby Brendan

bought me another parking space. 2 for facebook and 2 for the space.
at some point, can we sell em for 100 grand? :-)

love the car but i needs more mods like hoods, doors, cams pulleys, intake mani, and IMO a hard top

November 27, 2008
allowe, sum1 also said it doesnt matter anymore, u nub
“New Announcement: If you guys want, you can buy more spots, there’s no max anymore. They didn’t sell as fast as we thought, but I was amazed at how many people used paypal to get it. There are 300 spots left, so u guys can get some more if you want.
Although, I wouldn’t want so many spots with the same background. New garages will open up later on, with new backgrounds, so me, I’d wait for those.”

that is if the solstice doesnt put out decent numbers
- 01:56amby shane

November 28, 2008
i haven’t seen anything extreme from it
but it runs decent track times but other than that its not really worth buying….

from what i remember maybe a week and a half or so for the supra?
- 04:06amby me
-
November 28, 2008
410hp and something around 2950lbs on the GXP (thats off the top of my head… my brother bought one earlier today and I can’t completely remember) and I believe the Supra is in a week or so.
Any guesses on the OEM parts?
- 04:07amby Josh Ferguson

November 28, 2008
I’ll hold off for the Supra, thanks. I’ve got an empty space for it next to my Z06 and M3.
- 04:12amby Chris

Yeah good choice. I might still just buy one since it will just chill in my garage and look cool anyways. haha

Question: If you can send out 15 drag challenges, 5 track, and 1 endurance and you have 2 cars… how do you make sure you race the track challenges with your 2nd car and all your drags with your beast? The way i see it you can only switch if you’re accepting challenges… explain?
- 12:18pmby BWheeler
-
November 30, 2008
BWheeler- I think the way it is set up now is that whatever car you challenge with is locked to be the car that they accept against, regardless of what you are driving at the time. You can send your track challenges out with one car, and then switch to the other car to send out your 1/4 mile races as long as you don’t have any challenges pending against you. Hope that helps.
- 01:30pmby Daniel- VDPD
-
November 30, 2008
Thanks, thats exactly what i was wondering
- 01:48pmby BWheeler
-
November 30, 2008
So which cars are the best at Track / 1/4 Mile? I’d assume the Saleen has the best drag times… does the GT3 run the fastest times on the track? Just wondering how i should spend my money wisely!
- 01:57pmby BWheeler
-
November 30, 2008
BWheeler, the Saleen, Viper, and Corvette have the best 1/4 mile times.
And my GT3 has beaten some of the maxed out Saleen’s of vDream on the track =]
- 05:49pmby Yuriy VDPD
-
November 30, 2008
Any chance you guys could implement a tracker, like how many of each race you have left to use each day? Just an idea cause its irritating to switch up races and not know how many you have left of each.

How come everytime i switch cars i end up with a half tank of gas? I usually fill up before i change cars and put them into the garage but when i switch back i have a half tank of gas. this is getting really frustrating having to always fill up when i take my cars out of the garage knowing that they were full of gas before i put them in there

Supra is not far away…just be patient…you guys are gonna really like it!
And for the last poll, the results are not completed yet. When they are, Cheechoo or Lijen will post them up for everyone to see.
Robert- I have noticed the same thing and the closest I can think is that the car you challenged with is locked into the race that you used it for, and it burns gas independently of whatever other car you are driving. This would empty the tank without you watching it get lower.
and I still like my RX-7…you can look me up on the leaderboard….I think I’m somewhere near the top?

will- no problem…when we talked, it had already dried and caused the damage.
angryman- What logic gives you 100k back for a 22k turbocharger? You don’t use a turbo with a supercharger (and don’t come back with the whole “twin-charging” stuff cause that stuff isn’t even on the market)

i was just reading the engine swap article on http://z13.invisionfree.com/vdreamracing and it would be pretty cool to have purchasable crate motors. for a high price, but if you were to buy an LS7, it obviously couldnt be more then the whole ZO6.

Hey Daniel, something doesn’t “have” to be on the market to make it possible. I’ve also mentioned about having multi forced induction. I’ve seen it done, and the possibilites/combinations are WICKED!!!! I wish we had a termi Cobra here with multi indiction! :drool: lol

December 01, 2008
LXS- I know twin-charging exists (in custom situations)....but in the scope of the game, we are only focusing in on applications that are mass produced and widely available on the market. Nearly anything can be custom fabricated, but would be completely out of scope of the application.
If you can find a full twin-charge kit on the market for one of our vehicles, link it here and I’ll do what I can.

LXS- I know twin-charging exists (in custom situations)....but in the scope of the game, we are only focusing in on applications that are mass produced and widely available on the market. Nearly anything can be custom fabricated, but would be completely out of scope of the application.
If you can find a full twin-charge kit on the market for one of our vehicles, link it here and I’ll do what I can.

yeah there’s a twincharge for the mini cooper, i’ll try to find the link to a kit i know of. Also id think there would be one for the solstice too, isnt that the ecotec similar to the cobalt SS? if its the turbo version (like 08 up cobalt ss) there’s no twincharge but if its the s/c there’s twincharge kits available for those too. I will find the links.

Why the F did you put a solstice on here? You might as well put a Geo Metro..the power and looks arent far off.
