No because then it gets too in depth like the holden that would be classified as a Au GM where as the GTo is american.

I agree.

Nice to see a nice list of holdens in there although may I suggest you change the concept torana (which isn't too well liked from the reviews I have heard from my work mates so far, and I work for holden) to a LJ, or even a LX Torana from back in the day.
Small car, big engine, can't beat it.

BTW: if you are lacking any pictures of the Holdens, I could get a few shots for you.
Even with the 88' Calais Turbo, I can scan certain pages of the workshop manual for you if you want.

im still not seeing my beloved holden ute ss though :'(

Hmmn, I'll see what I can do about that. Oh and the list is NOT final, I'm still editing/revising it everyday. So don't worry too much about the Holdens, okay. LOL

1984 Dodge Interceptor (I may have the year wrong though)

No problem, just give me a few days to do it, after the weekend when I am not pissed as, and have the only chance of getting on to the computer at 6:30am in the morning.

Man, Yesturday was fucked, then I got wasted again last night at a party.
I no longer have a liver, it got taken away because I abused it too much.

is is just me or is there no 92-95 civic on that list. Whether you like to admit it or not, that is the car the sport compact world was built on. That car gets no love in any of the recent car games, except GT4, and they made it suck balls. I want the 800hp beast of my dreams, dammit!

Merkur is, if anything, Ford.
If you read the keyword "maybe", it makes more sense. Here:

The question was not up for debate from other members. Maybe I should start pm'ing my ideas to KillingMoon?

LOL, We'll see man. Stay in contact though, you never know what may happen. Not making any concrete promises, but we just may need you.

Well I chose the '99 Civic Si Coupe being the fact that it's the best version of that line. It's not really necessary to add a sedan version to a similar model, other than to enjoy the aesthetic of having two more unecessary doors. It's also why I've only include the G35 Coupe; no need for the sedan if the coupe is better and the same (and looks sleeker, to boot).

However, I'm not completely done with all of the Civic models just yet.

33 pages and counting-no filler. This Design Doc Script is getting VERY large by the minute, guys/gals. Here's another teaser excerpt:

VEHICLE STATISTICS
There are things within every car that need to be monitored on a constant basis to make sure that it maintains functionality within a race. Usually this isn’t much a problem, but with larger upgrades, come larger risks.

Density- heavier cars have a harder time keeping up within races and more mass and or heavier parts equal more lag in speed performance. Lightening the weight through the inside and outside can cure this. By changing the body surface with other materials, such as polyurethane, fiberglass or carbon fiber, the vehicle becomes lighter according to the material characteristics. However, this also means that the vehicle will be susceptible toward more damage and less durability during accidents and major crashes.
Overheat- this is especially true with forced induction upgrades; the engine has a tendency to overheat dramatically unless the proper cooling procedures are integrated. This can be anything from stronger cooling radiator functions, cold air intakes, installing several upgrades of intercoolers and or C02 (liquid carbon dioxide) cryogenic intake systems. Whenever the engine is overheating, there will be a monitor that lets the user know of the condition of the engine (usually by a small red light signal on the oil and water gauges, followed by a ‘beeping’ SFX. After several red flashes and ‘beeps’, the gauges themselves will begin to glow ‘red’ on their surfaces).

Every time a new upgrade is added, there will be an interface that displays how this affects the statistics of the vehicle. This way the user can be aware of what will happen beforehand and what precautions and procedures that they will need to take in order to alter the outcome; preventing mishaps in the long run.
