Tonight, on the sandbox, is an example proposed new layout for [[Drift City/Car Stats]]. Note that all headings are one-level lower than they should be (all level 3 headings should be level 2 headings and so on).

The Comet is a stock V2-class vehicle based on the Mitsubishi Eclipse and available fairly early on in the game for 2000 mito. Unfortunately, the cost at the early stage is sometimes a significant proportion of a user's accumulated funds, and along with other V2s, is sometimes overlooked by new players in favour of the free [[#OMD_SS|OMD SS]].

Between V2 and V8, the car's stat distribution favours acceleration and speed, with ample boost, however the final upgrade to V9 adds much durability, changing this distribution. The Comet has been a long-running favourite for v-upgrading, and although the addition of more cars have diluted this popularity somewhat, it is still a strong all-round car, competitive in the Battle Zone and sufficient for HUVing.
 
The comet has a unique body kit for __ mito, as well as a premium MkII kit (pictured at left). Both kits add a total of 20 points.

The Duel, modelled on a Bugatti Veyron, is a stock-V7 vehicle with high speed, acceleration and durability and a special effect built into the car.
The Duel itself is a relatively difficult car to earn, and requires some foresight to obtain its coupon in a timely manner. To earn the Duel coupon, finish in the top 30% of [[Drift City/Real Match Battle|Real Match]] races 100 times. The table below outlines the positions for which will count towards the Duel coupon.

Although the Duel has low boost, it comes with the Sudden Boost After Drift effect as part of the car, normally requiring possession of the [[Drift City/Booster Parts|Shinoya Beta Booster]] or [[Drift City/Booster Parts|Double Alpha Booster]]. This has the tactical advantage of having the part effect without taking the stats hit which comes from equipping either part instead of a hyper part or another part of choice.

 About Me

Hi! I'm Ahiddenfigure, editor and contributor to the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki, StrategyWiki.

I joined SW late last year, mostly to work on the Drift City guide. When I first came, the guide was sparse and missing many key details, but since then myself and countless other contributors have really brought it up, although it still has a long way to go before reaching completion stage 4. I mostly do additions and cleanup to "extra details" sections of guides, as I personally tend to use StrategyWiki as a reference, rather than a guide or walkthrough, so I like to make sure reference pages are exhaustive in detail while still being logical and easy to sort through. It doesn't mean I haven't contributed to walkthroughs; for Drift City alone, I've done the guides to Station 3 in both Moon Palace and Koinonia as well as the guide to Repeatable Missions (although it's not totally complete because I missed some screenshots).

Other than DC, I am working on the trophy list and other little bits here and there for InFamous for the PS3 and I will soon be making a guide for Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, a PlayStation Network downloadable game which is basically a soccer-ish game with cars, and based on the Unreal Engine. Can you get any more awesome? It so deserves a guide on SW, and I'm hoping to get a friend of mine to help me write it.

Although I'm studying Engineering, web page design is my favourite hobby and a passion of mine. I've got experience in (x)HTML, CSS styles, PHP/SQL (although not the object-oriented stuff) and I'm starting to learn HTML DOM manipulations with JavaScript, which has all been self-taught. I've designed web sites from scratch for a couple of small companies(that's layout, graphics, scripting, implementation and upkeep) and made countless web pages and micro-sites for testing and learning.

Some thanks and acknowledgements:

  • Tath for first advertising SW on the DC forum and indirectly persuading me to join this site.
  • Skizzerz for the templates for the toolbar. Unfortunately it doesn't look so good in monobook, but I don't use it, so it's all good.
  • Najzere for being the edit police (I mean that in a good way) and always showing me the other point of view. Keep it up.
  • Anyone who's made considerable contribution to the Drift City guide and not already on the list, you guys rock!
  • Late inclusion: Dukeruckley who I recently found out has a similar, but arguably more awesome userpage than mine! Kewel!

The Sandbox

Ok, that's all the personal deets over. From here on out, the page turns into pure garbage. I wonder if it detracts from the quality of the page?

Tonight, on the sandbox, is an example layout for a new page which supplements Drift City/Car Stats. Note that all headings are one-level lower than they should be (all level 3 headings should be level 2 headings and so on).

The Comet is a stock V2-class vehicle based on the Mitsubishi Eclipse and available fairly early on in the game for 2000 mito. Unfortunately, the cost at the early stage is sometimes a significant proportion of a user's accumulated funds, and along with other V2s, is sometimes overlooked by new players in favour of the free OMD SS.
