The it's awesome that you did this on a racing game. After all Bootlegging or "Runnin' 'Shine' "(Moonshine) as we refer to in the U.S., was the genesis of American Stock Car racing. Drivers started bragging about how fast their cars were.....Then egos took over and they would race to see who's car was faster. 73 Years later NASCAR's "Cup" series is still going strong.

Your car definitely should’ve been faster moonshiners were known for having faster cars than the police and moonshiners used their cars for early nascar

[@BrownSofaGamer]

Yeah a moonshiner could’ve gotten way more that 110hp in their cars, and they also knew how to build better suspension and brakes. I think they should rerun this one with rebuilt cars.

[@BrownSofaGamer]

Kyle Jackson Also this is nitpicking a bit but the Ford Business Deluxe would’ve been a better choice as bootleggers used normal cars that were built not hot rods.

[@harrisonrobinson7990]

Tauno Kekkonen because they were using low quality tires, did you even read the first comment?

[@taunokekkonen5733]

@@harrisonrobinson7990 I did. I would rephrase the first comment so that "the bootleggers that were caught, were caught with bad rubber". I would have said that the best bootleggers did not get caught to begin with. Hence they were the best. Also I don't buy the story that someone would have made enough statistics back in the day about the tyres of bootleggers to make a decisive statement on their importance.

[@ianhutchinson7358]

It's totally fine that your car was faster. Moonshiners were some of the original hot rodders (by necessity) so you're actually pretty accurate. May e could have bumped it up a bit higher but close enough. Looks fun!

[@jackdaniels6536]

Man. Forza sure does look different when you cant make a turn at 70mph. And i like it.

[@traxxpaxx8254]

Top speed for a Hudson in ‘51, ‘52 was around 115 to 120 and for a ford coupe it was about 100, the Hudson was one of the best handling cars in the ‘50’s due to their low center of gravity, which made them very popular in the early days of NASCAR as well as their ability to easily pull out of a powerslide, the handling was better than even a coupe like that ford.

[@eldo59]

16:29 They all drive the wrong way LOL! Love the Hudson as a police car.

[@gurglingcrowd7758]

This is the perfect idea - it was where this kind of thing all started after all!

[@revolverocelot-qn4gs]

The Hudson was the best handling American car of It's time back in the early 50s that says alot.

[@NotDaender]

And don't forget it won three stock car championships in a row..with a straight-six in an era getting dominated by V8s! It was ahead of its time but Hudson didn't have the budget to keep upgrading its cars unlike the larger companies!

[@revolverocelot-qn4gs]

@@NotDaender yep it was out turning the cars with v8s because the floor went lower then the frame so lower center of gravity better handling. It had a 160 horsepower with the world biggest 6 cylinder engine in the world with twin 1 barrel carbs it was the coolest car with a i6 in It's day.

Quick history lesson: the bootleggers got started in the 1920's, during the Prohibition era, where people cooked moonshine in their own basements, but when making it in larger quantities intended for sale, they needed fast cars that were capable of outrunning the police. Especially after the market crash of 1929, there was a very high demand for alcohol in the US, which could only be made illegally, making the demand for fast, customized cars even higher. This all ended in 1932, when the Prohibition was ended, alcohol was legal again, and the cars were no longer needed. But instead of scrapping them, many people wanted to see which of the custom cars was fastest, and so, NASCAR was invented.

[@atomicmillenial9728]

This isn't necessarily true, people are still running moonshine into dry counties in the US to this day. Virginia loses $20,000,000 a year to illegal whiskey distribution.

Not gonna fit much booze in that little hot rod. Bootleggers ran cars with some room in them. You should try it with a legendary setup like a '49 Ford with a 275 hp Cadillac v8 and add a few hundred pounds for the cargo. Hudsons were also popular, good power and great handling for their day.

You need a 40 ford, 40’s Chevy business coupe. They usually had the 516 Cadillac ambulance engines (engines shipped to dealers without serial numbers) the old dodge or Oldsmobile sedans were popular too. Leaf springs, brakes and tires from the trucks of the day and other slick mods. Brake light toggle switches, airplane landing lights for headlamps or tucked behind grille. Shiner cars always rode rear end high when empty that way it would ride level when loaded.

7:06 Color shifting BMW. Also, your Ford should've been quicker to be more period correct as moonshiners often made their cars much faster than the police vehicles of the time.

[@NotDaender]

Your Ford certainly could've used no more than one or two power (intake and exhaust) mods to give it a slightly better performance advantage over the cops. It's basically be one modified runner vs a swamp of cops. If you try to evenly balance the runner's car with pursuit vehicles like you've done, then you really stack the odds against you. Good chase, but try to make it more fair for yourself so these go longer!

Still waiting for the battle of the Ford Falcons, should be coupes vs sedans. (Edit: Perhaps make a rule about torpedo attacks on the chased vehicle? For example, the vehicle has to be safely apprehended, and thus cannot be slammed against a building at 90 mph. So the job of the players are to tail you and force you along a certain route where 2-3 other cars have set up a roadblock. Just a thought.)
