Pirelli World Challenge and the National Hot Rod Association gave the game licenses to include their racing cars such as Funny Cars.

In General

 * 1) The concept of a garage simulator with Choro-Q style vehicles was pretty original to start with.
 * 2) There was a plenty amount of vehicles that vary from category such as vans, 4-door Sedans, sport cars, 70's muscle cars, LMP race cars, touring race cars, rally cars and even tanks, police vehicles, motorbikes, a hovercraft, a snowmobile, service trucks like a firetruck, a delivery truck, a bulldozer, a dump truck and a trash truck. This also featured cars from movies such as Ghostbusters, Fast and Furious, Back to the Future and the motoring TV show Top Gear.
 * 3) You could customize the garage of your dreams in a manner similar to The Sims franchise.
 * 4) In this game featured the Game Show in which there was games that you could win blue points, gold coins, cars, tokens and the Golden Car Town Logo. Winning 3 Golden Car Town Logos, awards you the daily car. The games from Game Show are:

To do this you could click on the green dot to obtain points depending the section in the needle. Doing on the green section, grants a bonus shifts raising your points. Doing on the red section, deducts points. The points you grant depends of your car horsepower. For example, if you're using a slow stock car like a Fiat 500 Nuova D or a BMW Isetta '54 you get less than 1000 points with all bonus/perfect shifts.
