Wow! That must have been a ton of effort, and i'm assuming it's gonna be fast because of all the grilles and air intakes :)

Re: SME (Swanson Motorsports Engineering)

Hm... I'm not sure what to think of that. Is it going to be a full on production sports(?) car or is it merely a concept? It would make more sense as a concept, because such extreme designs never usually get put into production.

Re: SME (Swanson Motorsports Engineering)

It's currently a concept vehicle. It is a little extreme for the GT markets, and not fast enough for the Supercar markets. I've been working on it since New Year's.

That rear end though... I would keep a safe distance, just to make it won't open up and swallow me. :shock:

Visible that you put a lot of work into this!

Re: SME (Swanson Motorsports Engineering)

I've been learning to use all of the new community mods available recently. :) My cars so far had been rather ho-hum in both looks and performance. I had a tendancy to just replicate what already existed. *cough* E30 M3 *cough* The ZX53GT is fast and corners alright, but needs some improvements here and there and is not really great looking. This concept is powered by an LS3 or an optional LS7 (because we all know how much I love the LS motors) with surprisingly strong performance AND economy numbers. I'm also still trying to figure out suspension settings (wish someone could help me understand those better!) so I can get above 1.5g without using +15 quality and/or 395+ tires.

Besides, I have to beat one of strop's cars, dammit!

Re: SME (Swanson Motorsports Engineering)

I liked the front of your car, especially with the wheels you paired with it. Looks loud

You know what they say - if you can't beat 'em...

Re: SME (Swanson Motorsports Engineering)

On that note I'm actually very happy to look at the suspension settings if you would like ;) that's at least something I know my way around!
