    Hello everyone! So recently I've had some Ideas for things we could use in this game. Here is a list with details:

    2000+ Hot Hatch - By this I mean some sort of hot hatch that could be compared to a newer civic Type R, or a Renault Megane or Clio, or even an Audi S1. It would basically be sort of like a 2005-2015 Ibishu Covet, if anyone wishes to make such a thing.

    Some sort of 2 Seater Coupe - Something similar to a Toyota MR2, or a Mazda Miata. It would have to be low power, light weight, and small.

    A Newer Truck/ SUV - Speaks for itself, we need some sort of newer truck, like a 2014 Gavril D-Series, or a Roamer.

    A City Map - I would really like a map with a larger sized city. I know that WCA is coming soon, but something of the sort that's a bit smaller (1024x1024) would be pretty cool.

    Newer Muscle Car - Imagine a 2014 Gavril Barstow... How cool that would be. It would have to be made sort of similar to a Charger or Challenger, with plenty of configs, and maybe even an I4 Turbo.

    Option for amount of tire smoke/ fire/ exhaust smoke - I believe you should be able to tune the amount of tire smoke that you will get out of burnouts, how long the smoke lasts, etc.

    Some sort of official crash testing map - Or possibly some different, newer things in gridmap, as well as possibly a crash test cart, sort of like the one in IIHS.

    An official Race Car - Such as an Indy Car Clone, Nascar Clone, or other types of racing cars (For example, a racing variant of official cars, just like how most race cars are fiberglass frames of real cars).

    Some sort of Tire Blowout system

    Drivetrain Swaps for every car - Not something that could be done overnight, but I feel it may make for some really cool (and weird) vehicles. AWD Barstow? AWD Bolide? ETC.

    Well, I hope someone will get something out of this list, maybe someone may even get inspiration for a mod! If anyone would like to make these mods, I would be able to help by doing research on similar models for power, design, specs, etc. Thanks for reading!

    - 2000 Hot Hatch
    Yeah it doesn't look like a bad idea. Although i am inclined more for, say, a 99 civic SI.

    -2 seater coupe
    100% agree with you. The 200BX its nice but it needs competition

    -New truck/SUV
    Many people requested something like a 2015 or 2016 D-roamer and i dont see why not. In fact, i actually wanted to see something like a 1950's D-roamer.

    -City map
    Maps take a shit ton of time to make. WCU is in the making and if you want anything else you will need to use mods. It seems that garfield heights its right up your alley tho.

    -New muscle car
    Has been requested to death. Even by me. It wouldn't surprise me if they work on it after the soliad, the bluebuck, and the hopper.

    -tire effects
    Possibly coming up in a future update. Tires are due to get quite a lot of changes anyways

    -test map
    Isn't there an IIHS map as a mod already? anyways, cant say i am with you. It would be too much work on just a more realistic grid map.

    -official race car
    There's the FR1. But yes, this would be nice.

    -drivetrain swaps
    Only if they kinda do it realistic and force you to need to cut a lot of vehicle and get odd with it just to make it. Otherwise i dont want to make the barstow AWD by adding a front differential and being done with it.

    Someone with the name Tom999 made an IIHS map closer to the end of 2015, however, he asked the staff to delete his account and his content somewhere mid-2016.

    So basically tire wear? I'm all for that.
    Doesn't gridmap have enough stuff to be an crash test map? What could you add to the map?

    @Nadeox1 made that exact cart for beamng as an mod: http://www.beamng.com/resources/nardelli-crash-test-cart.8/
    It was last update in late 2015 though so it may be a bit outdated or incompatible. An official version of it would be cool but not likely imo and i'm not that interested in it actually.

    The rest of my thaughts of the other points were pretty well summed up by @Dr. Death

    I pretty much agree completely, to be honest. 99 Civic SI would be great, 1950's D Series is now at the top of my list for things I want in the game (F100 Fan Here), I'll have to try garfield heights, I heard it is actually a very good map, but for the race car I would mean something like this
    This to a normal 911, but something like this with a K-Series, or maybe even an older car like the Bolide or the D-Series as a Nascar-Styled truck.

    Oh, you mean touring competition variants of some cars? yes it would be nice. Like the way the ETK-i Did it. I would love to see race variants of the hatchback ETK if they ever add the sedan variant from the mod as official, or if they add a competition variant of the ETK-k.

    AI that's easier to use would be nice as well

    Or better yet, an option to create traffic AI (Like Euro Truck Simulator, GTA V, etc, etc.), if that makes sense.

    Well afaik the ai can follow lanes in the road right now but ai that act like traffic would be good but you can't have many cars in the traffic because it would kill every persons computer.

    yes, that being said a basic performance-friendly no-jbeam car would be nice as a test subject to see how many AI driving in a civilian-like behaviour would react. If everything goes smoothly then the problem to having an actual populated free roam would be limited by CPU and multiple cars, and not by the AI and their driving.

    Search the forum discussing those topics and then you have your answer to that topic.

    that's disturbing
    OT maybe a bronco or blazer clone made out of the d series and a roamer one as the second gen, also a 94 and up d series to go with the roamer since it started production the last year of d series production,
