The racers on Nitto 1320 Legends asked for it, and we delivered. The Dodge Viper was introduced and everyone went crazy for another high horsepower domestic vehicle. The potential for fast e.t.'s was there and after the introduction of the supercharger and nitrous kit to the car, the gates were open and the racers were out. The Racer Spotlight got a chance to watch thousands of these Viper racers go at it over the week and we caught up with one that exemplified what The Racer Spotlight is all about: consistency, good sportsmanship and a wicked car.
James is no stranger to Nitto 1320 Legends. He's been on since the first day and is the 42nd account on the game. His Viper has 949hp and tears up the track in 8 seconds. It has become a setup that is popular throughout the Viper racers, but James' Viper stands out from the crowd with its exterior modifications and his own gear ratios - all part of the endless levels of customization that the game offers. On the exterior, James has swapped out most of the body parts and mixed up his own combination. The front bumper is a piece from Stealth in their Steppe carbon fiber version, the rear is a Rival OPT piece. The side skirts have been replaced with DaBest Blaze side skirts. Lightening up the car is a Rival Auto carbon fiber hood and giving the rear the vicious stance any Viper needs is a Gerini Unire wing. James also bought the OEM dual tripe graphics and put the DaBest Nightfall graphics for the front and rear bumpers. His Viper races on none other than Nitto 1320 Drag Slicks and a staggered 20-inch/21-inch HRE 441R wheel setup from the WheelEnvizio CPR dealer.
Our newest journalist, SER SPECV, got a chance to catch up with James to ask him a few questions!
The Racer Spotlight: How long have you played Nitto Legends?
James: I have been playing Nitto Legends since day one of release. #42 Account ID and previously played v1 since 2002. So I've been around the block :D
The Racer Spotlight: What do you like most about playing Nitto Legends?
James: I like that you have to sit and think about the parts that go in the car. Not just buy parts and depend on gear ratios like in v1. I also like the NIM feature in this game better than the PM system in v1. Now I can bug all people I want.
The Racer Spotlight: If you could add a vehicle, what would it be and why?
James: The vehicles I wanted in the game have already been added: the Viper and JDM Integra. As far as new cars I'd say the Supra. That car is just plain sexy and its fast.
The Racer Spotlight: What feature would you like to see added to Nitto Legends?
James: The feature I'm waiting for is Team Races. I know everyone else wants this too. I hope teams are ready to face Redline Dreams!
The Racer Spotlight: JDM or USDM?
James: I <3 my JDM
The Racer Spotlight: Who would you like to thank on Nitto?
James: I would like to thank all my teammates for helping me and being supportive. Even though you people rely on my setups lol! I would also like to thank all the Nitto community for playing this game.
