Will there be a mode where you can design engines and cars outside of your current year and research? (Like old need for speed games?)
Well, not exactly… In the old Need for Speed games, there where 3 modes: Story, Multiplayer, and Customize. In customize mode, you could design cars no matter where you were in career mode. Everything was unlocked. So I was thinking if there could be a mode where you could build a car (and engine) in any year, and with any part you guys put in the game. When your done, you could share it online with everyone.
I think that cheat idea would be a good idea for a career mode though 
agree, decking out an old car with new components
