@RT6Thank you for letting me know. I have put out a new update which should resolve all the issues you've mentioned till now.

Just found another issue with the way you fixed the Eclipse. It's phenomenal at anything because you put almost all its power in its 6th gear, but as you also made its top speed on the redline rpms it's impossible to last longer than 3 seconds in 6th gear during drag races and thereby overblows the engine.If you can't fix this, just put it in the Known Issues section, because the Eclipse is an easily accesible early-game monster for reaching 280 kmph this fast and being obtainable after beating Taz.

@RT6 Thank you for having to let me know your opinion and to become wary of this problem! I tested the A3 myself with the parts you specified and it really does happen, the car's RPMs drop down to 0 after switching to the 6th gear.As for the Mustang, I'll be reworking it's script soon for the next update.

Endgame these are some of the best improvements to existing cars. Although I don't like the Ford Mustang improvement, since it's close to a drag-only car.Troubleshooting the Audi A3 in a new career I found out that it's 6th gear starts 50kmph lower than the 5th gear if you put the Race Engine and Transmission plus the Pro Suspension and Nitrous, while having the Junkman Brakes equipped. 5th gear tops out at 270kmph and 6th gear instantly brings it down to 225kmph.
