My car generates -46kg of downforce @ 200km/h, while having CD of 0.30. Is it bad?

I still don't really understand that. Will my car flip like a CLR?
It has Automation Claimed top speed of 302km/h, and does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. But generate a minus downforce. So there's that.

You are producing lift. Add a spoiler/front splitter and make some downforce.

minus downforce is also called lift. I don't think 46kg is enough to flip a car though. Think about it, if you applied the same force it takes for you to lift 100ish pounds on a car upward, would it flip?

Well, i've try that but i didn't find any bodykits that close to my taste. All of them looks like a melted plastic.

Oh well. Better hope it won't flip like CLR. Or hope that automation release a new batch of bodykits.

Well, yeah, that makes sense.

Altough i bet my car would be a bitch to drive tough. in full racing trim it 's only weigh 550 kg (full carbon body+chassis+Tuned K20C+4WD), plus it lacks quite some downforce and sits on some skinny 195's.

CD of 0.3 is super slippery, think very low fuel economy.

If you're generating 46kg lift at 200km/h, you're fine because your car most likely weighs much more than that, so you won't be flying off the ground any time soon.

Fuel Economy?
Not really. This thing eats 11.1 litres of fuel per 100 km. or about 25 mpg, thanks to aggressively tuned F20C from S2K.

Well, but my car weigh 550kg-ish in real life (it's 440kg if empty, i just add up 110kg for interiors and maybe driver ), so i guess it'll be a bit concern.

Yeah, the weight calculations are still faaar too light in the current version, it'll probably hit about 1000kg in a more finished version of the game.

46kg of lift is not too bad, consider that a New Beetle (a notably very lift-y car) has 370kg of lift at 190kph, which apparently makes it VERY floaty and frightening to drive at high speed..

Yeah, the body kits are pretty gross, hope to improve later :P
