I know that their main style is punk. but this style can be applied on the maps and the cars a bit more realistic. why? because it's all about the user experience if they are using punk style on cars this will make it great but the problem is the user will get bored in a short time. So for long time playing simplicity always win. keep that in your mind.

thats based the game themes mainly focus on punk style the game never talked about being realistic so your point is invalid so any other issues? for me i didn't quite like how the physics in it played out yet could get used to it
