That explains why I’ve never allowed anyone to use them in any of the more recent challenges I hosted, nor have I downloaded them yet.

FYI, I have added fuel economy as a one star priority in the main body of this thread.
As well as that, I generally run a near vanilla game of Automation. I can download mods when need be but if there is a big mod that is likely to cause more issues than solve them, I would like to try to avoid said mods. But overall, apart from the aforementioned Legacy Bodies mod, mods are allowed.

You should update the OP accordingly to reflect the ban on legacy bodies.

IIRC the Legacy bodies are not available on the steam workshop. It is an external mod basically. So I think you have nothing to worry about.

2005 Valiant Vivus GT200
Not your Grandma’s grocery getter
First launched in 1998 Vivus was the latest small family car from Valiant. Available in a wide range of body styles, sedan, hatchback, coupe and wagon.
In the hierarchy of the Vivus models the most powerful model until 2003 offered a 1.8 turbo engine with 160bhp, this had good handling and looks but never really the power buyers wanted in a hot sedan.
The GT200 was the remedy to this launched in 2004, offering the Valiant T series six cylinder engine designed for fwd vehicles. In this guise it is a 2.6l. The changes for the 200 upgrade are a more open intake with twin injector banks, sports cat and free flowing mufflers.
The GT200 has the same bodykit as the 2001 facelift GT but larger 18" wheels, larger front brakes, twin exhaust pipes and a six speed gearbox instead of the five speed of the turbo model.

2005 Billancourt Cité BSt
The brand-new Cité BSt (Billancourt Sport turbo) is a very French, very spacious and very compact supermini packing a massive punch. Power comes from a turbocharged version of Billancourt’s 2.0 4 cylinder, sending 220 hp and 328 Nm to the front wheels. That power is handled by a 6 speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip differential and 16 inch wheels with sport-compound tyres. Great driving dynamics are ensured by a novel multi-link suspension architecture, keeping all four wheels on the ground through tight corners.

KHI Boomslang
The Future: Daily Sports
With the engine in the middle, but driving easy and safe even for beginners, the Boomslang is the first of a generation of affordable, genuine sports cars… that can be used to transport the family, go to work, and more! With its impeccable ability to seat five, unique for its engine layout, the Boomslang takes advantage of the extra space in the front of the car created by moving the engine. You, your kids, and your whole family can enjoy cruising down the back roads.
Engineering Tomorrow's Family Car
A naturally aspirated four cylinder engine propels the rear wheels with 145 brake horsepower, for a 0-60 time of 8.1 seconds. It achieves almost thirty miles per gallon.
With size 245 tires in the rear, but only 215 in the front, it keeps service costs reasonable for this type of car. 16" rims in front and 17" in back also makes the car more aggressively stanced
A five speed manual is the right mix between sportiness and minimal gear changes on the road, making daily driving simple and straightforward.
All-round disc brakes make service easy and driving safe.
The highly advanced suspension system, controlled by a computer on the car, allows it to push handling to the limit despite being a five-seater. A simple, efficient interior keeps the focus on driving.
A semi space frame chassis allows for high rigidity and safety during crashes, as well as excellent resistance to rust and time.

What body set is the Boomslang (Afrikaans for tree snake) based on? I don’t think it’s the Vendetta, and it’s not built on any of the Aston-esque body sets either.

Looks like Tezda

Normally, the Tezda line is only available from 2008 onwards - but the techpool settings for this round make it selectable as early as 2005.

So it is one of the Tezda bodies after all. Problem is, with their unrealistically low drag coefficient, they are currently OP in terms of top speed.
