Yes. And sorry this is on me. I need to get better about responding to people so they know they’ve been heard.
Its weird being the spotlight; this isn’t a place I’ve really been before.
Thanks, buddy!
While I do appreciate a good meme, on the flip side of that coin, I also do NOT appreciate a BAD meme. Terrain Navigator XD – taking offroader to ludicrous speed and beyond when they normally aren’t even taken to light speed – GOOD meme; most of us wouldn’t usually think to do something like that. +15 quality spam hypercar – BAD meme. Because hell lets be honest: that is the first thing every single one of us did when we first got this game.
Coooooooome on! Beeeee honest!
*gives golf clap*
Yes. The whole point of reviews is to get feedback on a design, hence why I have Submission Rule 1: don’t submit if you only want praise. I saw exactly what CorsicaUnknown was attempting with the design and had it been portrayed to me differently, i.e. a luxury or muscle car, I probably would have given it a far more favorable review. But because it fell short of its target in spite of clear concerted effort, I decided to go the extra mile with my own assessments.
As I’ve had more time to think about it, I was probably pushing a little to hard with it. So don’t feel the need to go balls-to-the-wall hypercar type tuning with the suspension . By my estimates though, it feels like its sitting somewhere around the 1.3 - 1.4hz region on the spring tuning + I don’t know… about 0.35 damping coefficient? Somewhere around in the 1.6 - 2.0 hz range with 0.4 - 0.6 damping would be . Also, If you increase the spring stiffness, much of the body roll problem will solve itself and then you can relax the sway bars.
And maybe a more rearward bias on the AWD . Would help it dance around corners.
Now I am going to have to be a brutally honest. It smells insincere. Clues:
-
@strop puts you on blast and within only a few hours you’re ready with a different submission that is not just in the spirit of but exactly the thing he suggested you do?
-
“Egyptian” is spelled wrong. And “QQ” is the emoticon for .
-
There isn’t much description. Most people who have sent me something want to tell me the history of their entire lineup. So, it feels like you don’t really know what this car is besides “an econobox”.

We have a saying about cars that look like that: “It looks like a three fixture wonder”. That is, you grabbed the bare minmum fixtures (usually three: a grill, headlights, and tailights) to make it look like a car and called it good. I recognize not everyone is created equal in their ability to style their cars. Some like @Deponte prefer to work with strictly technical details while letting someone else style them . But… that still looks pretty “Ehh”.
- If you really do just suck at styling, make a note of that. Just say: “Hey I suck at styling.” And I’ll be cool with that. Of the cars I have received so far, almost everybody has given me some caveats about it. Its okay to suck and own up to it. We all started somewhere, most of the time sucking. Hell, go look at my earliest designs for Fenton Holdings Limited.
Look, I am trying to really hard to not sound elitist and unwelcoming right now. I absolutely appreciate your patronage and I want you to feel welcomed here. But to quote what a beloved modern car reviewer said for Elon Musk to hopefully and eventually here:
– Mr Regular – 2018 Tesla Model 3: Regular Car Reviews
The best way to learn something is not trial by fire but to shadow and watch and listen. If you want, I can give you a review. From what I’ve seen, its probably going to be brutal. So are you really really REALLY sure this is your best effort?
EDIT
Ehh, I wouldn’t call that undriveable by a normal person. A lot of my old faithful 60s and 70s American land yacths rarely broach 40 driveabilty and they’re perfectly driveable.
But yes they are still hard to drive near the edge. And 37 is a piss poor score for the 90s. That I do agree with.
