| Car Builder is just what the name says it is. You build
your own car. You choose mechanical features like: Chassis choices range
from a 100 inch, 300 pound to a 205 inch, 800 pound, you can then choose
your choice of engines ranging from a 97 cubic inch, inline 4 with 112
horsepower to a 460 cubic inch 370 horsepower beast, then you have your
usual choice of 4- speed automatic and 5-speed manual transmissions, you
can also select from a variety of gas tanks with capacities ranging from
12 to 21 gallons, then you can select witch kind of suspension you want in
front and in rear, you can select also choose rack and pinion or power
steering. You can also select from a variety of tires for both front and
rear tires and also different kinds of brakes. After you are done with the
Mechanical Features you can customize the body of your car, you select
from a wide variety of choices for each of the tree section of the car
(front, roof, rear), you can then add windows and decals to your body.
After you are done customizing your car, you can then subject it to two
different tests. The first test is the Wind Tunnel test, what happens
there is that they put your car in a chamber and they turn fans on at the
front end of the chamber to make wind pass on every side of your car to
see how good the aerodynamics of your car is. Then you have
the second test: Road Test you see your car as a dot going around a road
course with different twists and curves, as your car goes around the
course you see different commentary on the bottom of your screen witch
gives you tips like: "The engine chosen for this car seems well suited for the weight of the vehicle." or: "This car really seems to have good acceleration coming out of corners". This is a good game for anyone who is a car nut like me, its a good way to test your engeneering skills. One thing is for sure, this game is a one of a kind. |
