====== Chassis Sub Components ====== The game breaks Chassis into three sub-components, and you have four selections to make with these sub-components. These are frame, drivetrain, front and rear suspension. The following table will display the default ratings found in the components.xml file. You can reference these when going through the Game Mechanics section of this manual. ===== Frames ===== ^ Name ^ Years ^ Strength ^ Performance ^ Safety ^ Durability ^ Weight ^ Design ^ Manufacture ^ Cost ^ Skill ^ | Backbone Frame | 1913< | 1.2 | 1 | 0.6 | 1.35 | 0.75 | 1 | 1.5 | 1.3 | 15 | | Carriage | 1880-1915 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 0.6 | 0.6 | 0.3 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.7 | 0 | | Perimeter Frame | 1928< | 1.1 + 0.75 | 1.2 | 1.15 | 0.6 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.75 | 25 | | Ladder | 1902< | 1.25 | 0.7 | 1 | 1.15 | 007 | 0.6 | 0.6 | 0.75 | 0 | | Superleggera | 1926-1980 | 0.65 | 1.8 | 0.6 | 0.7 | 0.4 | 1.5 | 1.8 | 1.5 | 28 | | Unibody | 1930< | 1.35 | 1.5 | 1.85 | 1.3 | 0.5 | 1 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 35 | ===== Drivetrain ===== ^ Name ^ Abv. ^ Year ^ Handle ^ Steering ^ Durability ^ Weight ^ Perf. ^ Engine Width ^ Engine Length ^ Manu. ^ Design ^ Cost ^ Skill ^ | Front Engine, Four Wheel Drive | F4 |1896|1.4|1.8|0.9|1.3|1.4|1|1|1|1.2|1|30| | Front Engine, Front Wheel Drive | FF |1902|0.5|1|1|0.5|0.5|1|0.8|0.5|0.5|0.3|0| | Front Engine, Rear Wheel Drive | FR | 1890 | 1 |1|1|1|1|1|1|0.6|0.6|0.7|0| | Front-Mid Engine, Rear Wheel Drive | FMR |1910|1.1|1.1|0.95|0.9|1.1|1|0.97|0.8|0.75|0.8|20| | Mid Engine, Four Wheel Drive | M4 |1945|1.8|1.9|0.55|1.3|1.9|0.85|0.85|1.3|1.4|1.3|45| | Mid Engine, Front Wheel Drive | MF |1930|0.7|1.1|1|0.6|0.8|1|0.93|0.8|1|0.9|25| | Rear-Mid Engine, Rear Wheel Drive | RMR |1940|1.5|1.2|0.7|0.7|1.3|0.95|0.85|1.1|1.1|0.9|35| | Rear Engine, Rear Wheel Drive | RR |1891|1.1|0.8|0.7|0.6|0.8|1|0.8|0.7|0.9|0.6|5| | Rear Engine, Four Wheel Drive | R4 |1920|1.4|1.7|0.7|1.3|1.4|0.95|0.8|1|1.3|1|50| | Rear Engine, Front Wheel Drive | RF |1920|0.2|0.7|0.7|1|0.2|1|0.95|0.8|0.8|0.8|25| ===== Suspension ===== ^ Name ^ Year ^ Handling ^ Braking ^ Comfort ^ Performance ^ Durability ^ Manufacturing ^ Design ^ Costs ^ Skill ^ | Air |1915|1|0.9|1.6|0.7|0.5|1.5|1.5|2.5|30| | Double Wishbone |1924|1.4|1.2|0.8|1.3|1|0.7|1|1|35| | Hydrolastic |1952|0.55|0.7|0.8|0.5|0.65|0.8|0.8|0.6|40| | Hydropneumatic |1944|0.8|0.9|1.8|0.8|0.5|1.9|1.75|2.6|40| | Leaf Spring |1800|0.1|0.2|0.3|0.4|1.5|0.2|0.2|0.2|0| | MacPherson Strut |1939|0.75|0.75|0.75|0.9|1.2|0.6|0.5|0.45|35| | Magnetorheological|1990|1.2|1|1.9|1.4|0.8|2|2|3.3|60| | MultiLink |1988|1.8|1.6|0.9|1.8|0.7|1.5|2.2|2.5|45| | Sliding Pillar |1878-1960|0.65|0.6|0.35|0.7|0.75|0.4|0.4|0.45|10| | SwingAxle |1901|0.6|0.6|0.6|0.6|1|0.3|0.3|0.4|15| | Trailing Arm|1889|0.5|0.45|0.5|0.45|0.7|0.6|0.6|0.6|10| | Torsion Beam |1950|0.35|0.4|0.6|0.35|1|0.5|0.45|0.5|20|
