CS was more arena focused which is a very different style than a road car for 'mass production', which was the focus of the AADA VG1 and VG2 (we shall not speak the name of the third VG). There were definitely some road designs in it like Vlad the Impala, but it helped teach you how to design vehicles for the arena.
Can't remember the name of the 'champion' vehicle but I remember it had 100 points of front armor and 3 RLs front because the designer figured most shots would hit the front - he guessed correctly apparently. That design wouldn't work at all for the road but it was a brilliant build for that arena.
The fake ads were also excellent flavor text :)
