Auto Credit Based on BRuthless's Raptor GT v.1.0

For those who like it a bit more extreme or can't handle the constant wheelies of the GT.

Features:
-more spoilers in and on the front and a spoiler in the back, which has ailerons that react to roll input to counter the centrifugal forces -> more downforce and overall more traction, less likely to flip, cooler looks
-put the engines into the front for weight balance
-stiffer suspension, though I cheated a bit and hard-mounted additional shocks to the pieces where the wheels are mounted to. You can see them on the screenshot. I really need to think about a design for a compact but way stiffer independent suspension. -> less wobbling, less leaning, more traction
-so much traction, that it puts 3200 HP completely onto the road and caused it to oversteer, so I reduced the traction of the frontwheels a bit. You can still make it drift and spin, but it's more neutral.
-threw out the passenger seat and put the driver in the middle for weight balance and better overview. Put girlfriend/wife in the trunk instead.
-a small detail: also added a rain light in the back. In case you don't want anyone to crash into your back on a rainy day.

Topspeed: 232 MPH

Controls:

Throttle = engine throttle (pull fully down and hold it there for brake)
Roll = steering
AG1 = headlights and backlights
AG2 = rain light

Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.
Enjoy! :)
