I think this is not a valid entry(friction/collision group changes), but it works.

heres a quick entry, I originally intended on using a water based suspension system, but found this method more reliable.

gets almost to the top before it flips over.

just build it large, then re-scale it.

or, alternatively, he can make it biggier, while also increasing gravity and AFmult power

Are you allowed antigravity suspension or can I make the a kind of hover car that floats but keeps the car level?
