I need help with something

Could you guys give me a list of both measurements, what is a good value for all of the car/engine values?
I'm not sure what is good emissions, and am not sure what good anything is for a car, so I cannot improve them.

It's also that I do not know what is a cheap/expensive cost for an engine, so I still am not sure about how good my cars are.

Re: I need help with something

A quick guide for cost is to multiply the "total cost" stat of the car by 2 to get a rough estimate of a dealer price for mass production or economy cars, and by 3 for more limited run cars.

The thing is: you can't say what is a good stat until you have competition in the same year you built the car in. For example: a responsiveness of 20 is very high in 1947, but pretty low in 2010. Just like a 10 second 0-100 km/h is amazingly fast in 1950 while it is pretty slow in 2005.

Yeah, I just mean modern stats really.. I mostly mean I'm not sure if the level of emissions that my car I design in 2015 is running would compare to a 1950s cadillac or a smart car because I don't have a basis .-.

I just need some base numbers to be competitive.

Re: I need help with something

Why not check out the car sharing forums and see what people get number-wise. That should give you a good indication for how your vehicles compare :)
