DMC Feedback release

I never have been very good at making refined, restrained cars.

I always go crazy mid-build and crank everything to 11. Which makes for expensive, unreliable, physically unstable cars.

Here is my first proper attempt, at a restrained, refined affordable sports car and I need your guys feedback.

The main question is, have I done this right?

The price would be aimed to be under $27,500, and as such the performance is very good for the estimated cost point.

Please leave feedback, or a vote on whether you like it or would buy it!

Re: DMC Feedback release

seems like a well balanced realistic car. Although the price seems a bit low...

It might be easier to just post a screenshot of your engine and car stats.
