Hot Rod (faster than it looks)

First off I want to say this car is probably overpowerd so the faint of heart should dial down the HP. However if power drifts and a top speed of 270mph sounds more entertaining then leave it be. Also I set it up as all wheel drive but its fun RWD as well. It will also corner better with a stiffer suspension but I think its more fun driving it as is. CONTROLS AG-2/3 turn signals VTOL-Flipper in case a drift goes horribly wrong lol. Last but not least dont forget to check out the original design.

Edit: I found out after uploading it that it drives a bit better with thinner wheels. I have it set up 50% width up front and 90% in the rear.

    @SkyEyeMCCIX Thanks! Yeah I do this on a laptop so my part count is limited but I felt it had just enough detail to pull it together. I will check it out.

    I love it. The details are good yet not computer-laggingly good, the handling is fine and the car is pretty quick. I just wish SimplePlanes supported gearboxes instead of the generic SimplePlanes CVT

    On the topic of suspensions, you might want to check out the trophy truck Model AA I have; extremely potent off road
