0.0 rank of durability

Hello, I was discussing with my friend.
And I know that in Automation you can launch a car with durability ranked at 0.0, but would it launch in real life?
Tell your opinions :D

Depends on what causes the 0 reliability :) you'd definitely be able to launch it if that is due to lack of cooling airflow... until the engine melts ;)

Top Fuel dragster engines can't be dyno'd as they will overheat and fail if run at full output for more than a couple of seconds.

Additionally, explosions are quite common due to the sheer pressure running through the intake and fuel systems.

They're rebuilt after every run.

Probably qualifies as 0.0.

Speaking of which: is it possible to display the cooling-dependent engine reliability somehow? It would be good to know how much reliability I'm losing by blocking vents. :)

Take note of the reliability at full cooling capacity and then subtract the running cooling capacity reliability. That would be how much you were losing due to cooling capacity and vent blocking. :)

He put the airflow sliders all the way down, because of top speed hehe.
Anyway, thanks! Now I can have arguments ;p

0 reliability? I think they were called Rover.
