One thing I forgot to ask, but can the car have some kind of spoiler, lip, ducktail or wing, or not? Also, if that’s the case, can it be made of carbon fiber?
sure, just make it not too large
Alright, thanks for clarifying

alright, submissions are now open
would something akin to the viper or corvette be allowed?
That’s more sports/supercar so no
Are the bodies limited to 2007+ or just the model year?
The Arnoc Nexum R/T is a celebration of the 40 year run, the Final edition is the our most powerful NA to be used in our companies history.
A manual 6 speed and RWD was selected to give customers the real muscle experience we think they disserve.
Buy one today before the limited run is on the far horizon and you have to wait to buy it at auction

just the model year, as long as the body itself looks from the era/can be made to look from the era
Did something change recently with emissions within the game?
I’m finding it impossible to exceed WES8 with a pushrod engine unless I utilize turbos…
If you absolutely want it to be a pushrod engine, try running a lower cam profile and compression, while having a higher fuel map. For mine, before I applied techpool and quality, I had a cam profile of about 15 to 20, compression of 10:1, and the fuel map up at around 80. I have also found that the final drive setting seemed to affect the WES rating as well.

I’m building a pushrod V8 for another challenge and I’ve found that lowering compression and cam profile works, personally having a rich fuel mixture didn’t help me. The car itself also affects WES ratings, depending on weight and gearing.
I need your opinion…I can’t decide which looks better.
The bodies are forcing me to make compromises, so I’ll leave it up to how the front end looks.

You can ask other people for their opinions but I don’t feel it’s fair for me to help you in this way.
I’d put my vote on Ferox.
Slimmer, tighter face, nice and boxy, muscly wheel arches. Looks the part to me.
Just my opinion, but I prefer the look of a single wide scoop on it like the Aemulator.
Depends, the wide scoop looks like a demon scoop but the twins look like the oldschool swinger dart scoops.
Both are equally nice in differnt ways.
(But i like twins)

Thanks for the input folks. Used the Ferox as a base and gave 'er a minor facelift with a chin implant. (Splitter guards are not removable)
Ended up using the wide single scoop as a twin scoop didn’t make much sense on a naturally aspirated direct injection engine.
I might be late to ask but do you mean at least 4 or 3 AND upwards?
