i dont think it will be as much of a problem as you think. cars are pretty
much one or the other- there arent very many 'gray area' cars. the few that
are i will keep an eye on.
there are plenty of ways to cheat or gain an advantage in regular Solo II
that people dont bother to use, so i cant see why anyone would cheat here.
you can try to cheat, and see if i can catch you! :)
