CarLoader         : CarLoader is a program that keeps track of cars and tracks for Midtown Madness. I suggest getting this program (http://drive.to/carloader). The Pontiac is not compatible with CarLoader. If it reads the file as "(error) vp85paris.ar", then let it finish loading, then right click "(error) vp85paris.ar" and select "Change Name" and change it to "'85 Pontiac Parisienne". Move the picture that's included in the zip to your CarLoader images folder. To view the picture, right click "'85 Pontiac Parisienne" and select "View".

Recommended       : 80-100% Physics, anything lower and the car's steering gets too sensitive and it may tip on two wheels.

Notes             : It's a full-sized Pontiac sedan. These cars are pretty rare in real life. Only '85 and later models had the fender skirt. The body is based off the Caprice, but the rear quarter panels and fender skirts were taken from the '81 Bonneville.

This MM re-creation has recessed headlights, recessed rear license plate, recessed taillights, 3D mirrors, hood ornament, 3D bumpers, 3D windows, 3D trim and a raised portion of the hood. It's a lot of polys too. 1700 for body_h and about 1000 for the wheels. The selection screen sound is from "Rock'N Me" by the Steve Miller Band. If you have a problem with the sounds, turn off your speakers. The tuning is pretty good for a 2 ton car. It's tuned more towards fun, but keeps some realism in. The shocks are tuned to be soft for the big car feeling. It powerslides really good. Sometimes if you have the gas down and just turn the wheel, the car will start sliding thru the corner. If you start to oversteer, give lots of counter steer to correct it. It takes some getting used to the tuning. Becareful, it sometimes swerves to one direction and sometimes it just gets all wacky jumping all over the place. It can do 0-60 in about 8 seconds and a top speed of about 100 MPH. It has two colors - blue and burgundy. The burgundy is based off JN_Parisienne's car.
