Car Data

[thelusiv]

The main caveat of getting any data for any car is that if we don't have a model for that car, the data is useless. We must find someone who has time and can create one, or we must find one already made (sometimes available on the internet...) and convert it to our format. Creating a model from scratch requires blueprints of the car (which can sometimes be found on the internet as well...) but this can be very time consuming, even if you've done it before.

If you have a dyno and can get a good, clear torque charts of cars, that would be of great help. From there, it would also be nice to have torque curves after certain modifications, such as intakes, exhausts, and whatever other modifications up to and including head work, superchargers and turbo. That would help us figure out how much power to add for various addon parts in the game.

If you can get corner weights of cars on a car scale that would also be useful. Centers of gravity likewise.

I'm not even sure what kind of equipment one would use to do this but we also need various tire forces, plus suspension spring rates, and the suspension travel distance of various cars.
