Kardan & Invasion
Hey Kardan, I’ve been messing around with a physics patch for a classic car model in my latest game and I think we could pull some real performance out of those old engines. Got any tricks up your sleeve to make a vintage car feel like a rocket?
Sure thing. First off, cut the weight – strip out the heavy steel body panels and replace them with aluminum or composite parts. That’ll give the engine a real boost. Next, crank up the compression ratio with a higher‑grade piston and a lighter head gasket – the higher the compression, the more power per stroke. Add a performance cam that keeps the valves open longer; that’s like giving the engine a bigger breathing room. For a real rocket‑like feel, a small turbocharger or supercharger can be the game‑changer – just make sure the boost controller is set to keep the boost at a safe level. Finally, tweak the fuel map: lean out a bit and adjust the ignition timing to run just a touch earlier. Keep the drivetrain tight with a short‑gear differential and low‑resistance tires, and you’ll have a vintage car that roars like it’s in a space program. Happy tuning!
