Iv been playing around in Automation for the past few years now, but never really had an interest in the whole "company" aspect of it as I always had more fun building and tuning engines...

So this is my first attempt at the whole company part of it. This is an economy car I just put together with a race model:

That's a nice lightweight fun car. Though I think you may benefit from using slightly wider tyres all around!

Thanks. I actually went with as narrow wheels as I could (without making it TOO impractical) to get the best fuel economy. Giving it wider tyres in the rear for a nice sporty 0-60 time. Im still working on the race version, had a 1.6L V6 with 640hp but for some reason automation keeps crashing now when I try to run the test track so I will come back to it tomorrow.

In my eyes, it would be a great sporty economical car. Except that I made all the interior minimal -15 all around to get that light weight :lol:

And maybe tomorrow I will look into trying to get the fuel economy to 60mpg and the power to 100hp.

Updated the economy model with a new engine....decided to use the same 1.6L V6 DOHC I made for the race version and just tune it for economy, worked out pretty good I think but it made the car cost about $5k more to make.
