##1985 Dimension Paradox 3 5.4 (CGA52)
The 1980s will forever be remembered as the decade where everyone unironically thought pastel suits and handlebar mustaches were cool, but also as the time when cars got their cajones back after being castrated in the horrible 70s. The Paradox 3 is the embodiment of that spirit, an attempt to regain the speed of it’s 60’s counterpart while being several times tackier with wireframe digital gauges and headlamps that do a little dance when opening.

##1990 Dimension Paradox 4 (CGR52)
So much has changed underneath and outside that we decided to call it an entirely new generation of the Paradox sports car. Unfortunately, some genius decided that we should move it upmarket and have it compete with exotics and supercars by making the uber expensive high performance model the only model. You can tell how that worked out because this killed the model line until '05.
Not a bad car by any means though. The DOHC 5 valve head was designed from ground up, extensive aerodynamics work to ensure the car had zero lift at high speeds made it one of the first production cars to break the 8 minute mark on the famed Nurburgring course.

But that’s not much of a problem, as I have a similar impression with some real life cars 
The stats and prices look good too.
I made this with minimal quality sliders as to give the impression of a quick homoglation effort.
It’s good that you achieved such scores with little use of quality sliders too. I tend to go pretty wild I’m building a race car.
