This does sound like a job for gryphon gear! I'll sketch up some blueprints.

Re: Action Movie 2 hero car

Why no mods? Fine. I'll submit the car here, and pm you the mod-less version.

*edit. I think you need to ease up on the safety. As I can't get anywhere near 67 for less than $37,000.

Re: Action Movie 2 Hero Car

Any limitations on Model year? Given it is now 2015, I'm using that.

Also @vos: if you use the right approach, it's easy to hit 65 safety... I've got about 15k spare in the bank at the moment...

Re: Action Movie 2 Hero Car

Alrighty, I'm just finetuning this thing but after looking at an Infiniti catalogue (everyone's going Euro with their styling anyway, whether it's the US or the JP market), I decided to go with this. Aptly codenamed Godzilla, this thing weighs way more than a Veyron :? Must be all the safety equipment, and why I never really pay any attention to safety if I can avoid it when I build cars :lol:

On the plus side, it has unholy amounts of power and goes like absolute stink :) It's amazing just how many horses you can get without blowing the material costs out. Does require a ton of elbow grease, though.

Re: Action Movie 2 Hero Car

I seem to only be able to find one sedan in 2015 that doesn't give me a safety penalty for obsolescence. Is that correct?
