If you're using a small MR body, try fitting it transversely. Both the Giugiaro wedge and the small modern MR fit larger engines that way. Though with the engine I'm using, it's only 2.4L and then the fun part is trying to fit twin-scrolls in without making the length too long

As you can see, it's not the most powerful engine on this board by a long shot. However, the MR cars in Automation have one big advantage: you don't have to AWD to get maximum performance because using a heavier engine puts more weight on the rear wheels, giving better launch. Second, all the MR cars accomodate ridiculously wide rear tyres, and the less weight up front means you can have narrower front wheels = saves money. Also, you can put both wings on the rear no problem, and if you add active wing, you'll maximise benefit whatever your settings may be.
Also, the small MR car is light. Never mind the output, the power to weight ratio is far superior:

Here we are, looking every bit the budget sports car. Except stripped out as this one is, with such a ridiculous engine, I would expect more like supercar performance.

I couldn't be bothered using active suspension. It's expensive, heavy, and you can't tweak things as much to your liking. Using some old school tuning, this thing will out-drag and out-corner a Huayra, Huracan, F12... take your pick. Its Green Hell time is also pretty quick too
p.s. if anybody would like it, I do have the .lua files all zipped up ready to submit.
