This is a re-release of Cube's '69 Z/28 that has been updated and quite heavily revised for current Racer beta versions, namely v0.8.33.
Since the original release more than four years ago, I've been working on it continously, but several significant changes in Racer's way of doing things delayed it's second showing.
The mesh, textures and sounds are largely untouched, although I did include minor alterations to accomodate shader changes and car.ini requirements. As such, some of the old shortcomings are still present - there's no driver model, the interior mirrors aren't really funcional and the lack of a separate interior glass material means the activated headlight texture is invisible from inside.
For me, this doesn't have a negative impact on the fun of driving it though, which is why I decided to put it up here for others to experience it once more.
Power delivery is quite peaky on this engine, but the steering rack ratio and period style tyre behavior encourage a smooth driving style with a good bit of throttle action to keep the nose pointing in the right direction.
The car.ini file contains two differential ratios which you can manually switch between if desired. The default setting is for the standard 3.73 axle, while a factory option 4.10 model can alternatively be selected to spice up the smoke production.
