Vehicle Mods, What have people done? Options

[Bashfull]

With the twinked weapons thread having gone pretty well, I wondered what people had done with vehicles.

I also wondered if anyone could explain how to work out the cost maths of this: acceleration x body x 25 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif)

I'm trying to build the fastest bike I can. I've gone for the Suzuki Mirage, with Engine Customization for both speed and acceleration, nitrous injection and a turbo charger. I'm struggling to work out what the mods will cost me (I've already got the bike).

Base Vehicle: Suzuki Mirage - 6,500
-Handling: +2
-Acceleration: 20/50
-Speed: 200
-Body: 6 (4 Armor)
-Customization Slots: 6

+Engine Customization: Speed - (240 x 6 x 5) = 7,200
-Speed: 240
-Slots Left: 4

+Engine Customization: Acceleration - (60 x 6 x 5) = 7,200
-Current Acceleration: 24 / 60 (just round it to 25 / 60)
-Slots Left: 2

+Nitrous Injection - 2,500
-Current Acceleration: 24 / 80 (just round it to 25 / 80)
-Slots Left: 1

-Remove Armor (4)
-Slots Left: 2

+Turbocharger x2 - (100 x 6 x 20 x 2) = 100 x 24,000
-Acceleration: 34 / 100 (just round it to 35 / 100)
-Slots Left: 0

Final Stats:
Cost: 6,500 + 7,200 + 7,200 + 2,500 + 24,000 = 47,400
-Handling: +2
-Acceleration: 35/100
-Speed: 240
-Body: 6 (0 Armor)


... zoom.

I'd note, though, that you could pull out the Nitrous for another Turbocharger, giving you a total Acceleration of 40/90 with a lot less risk. This would cost a total of 56,900. Likewise, you could ditch the Engine Optimization: Speed for two more Turbocharger slots, and keep the Nitrous, giving you a final Acceleration of 55/120 and a top Speed of 200 - all for 64,200 Nuyen.

Wow, thanks for the quick response, Hentai. My GM has ruled that removing factory fitted equipment does not create slots, so I'd still have the armour and only 1 turbo. Save me 12kY I suppose. And my acceleration would be 32/90, I guess. Still pretty quick.

What's everyone else done?

+Engine Customization: Speed - (240 x 6 x 5) = 7,200

+Engine Customization: Acceleration - (60 x 6 x 5) = 7,200

Incorrect. Calculations are based on the vehicles speed before modification's are applied.

Yamaha Rapier
- customized engine {speed}
- quad turbocharger
- racing tires
= handling +2 {+0 in wet conditions}, acceleration 42/95, speed 260

That's Nas' bike at the end of "A Night To Never Remember".
