What if you used an inline four engine design instead of the V6? It should allow
the front chassis, and therefore the steering rack, to be not as wide. I don’t
really think it would affect the realism of the model. Actually, if it’s not
possible to use the inline four, then I think it might be cool to use a V8! :)
Anyway, I really like all the features compressed into such a small model. How
long did it take to build the whole car?
