I always had the impression that actual military munitions in the hands of civilian car wars warriors would result in a military style environment. ;)

So yes, Car Wars is a fantasy more than anything else as you point out. Ah well, life goes on. One of the things that I did an analysis on with regards to the CAR WARS frames was not only the max weight to frame weight ratio - but also the weight per space ratio for max weight. Later on, when I get the chance, I'm going to trick out an ordinary non-fighting Car Wars design just to see what the "stock car" option looks like. Then compare it to the curb weights of modern cars just to see what that looks like. I guess I'm just bored or something. ;)
