Conversion Permission (If you are the car maker, skip the next paragraph)
If you are converting a car from another game, you must first check the readme file(s) to see if you can convert this car or part. If there is nothing on the matter, you must contact the author(s) of anything you use and ask whether or not you have permission to convert it into Viper Racing. If you get no response, or if the readme states not to convert this car or part, you must assume the answer is no.

To find the car information on a late model car, go to the Manufacturer's Website. To find information on an older car, find a website devoted to the car, go on Wikipedia, or ask around. To find information on a race car, you may try the Race Team's web site, the Racing Series website, or ask around. But remember that many settings on a Race Car are normally adjustable (e.g. Power Dist., LSD Factor, Rev Limiter).
You can also try www.supercars.net as well.
If you can not get all the specs, do not worry about it. We will get back to it later.
Once you are finished gathering information, move Onward!
