Messerschmitt KR200
→Tandem seating: fixing this as per the previous overly-simplified conversion. Taking a 2-place original figure, converting it to 1-place in different units, then converting back to the original as 1-place again = BAD IDEA DON'T DO IT AGAIN PLZ

Messerschmitt KR200
→History: giving outputs without decimals at this low level is simply asking for rounding-error trouble, which i think is reflected in the later back-conversion from "7"kw to only *9* hp...

Microcar
→History: making this a bit more international - speaking as a brit, even as something of an international minded petrolhead I have only a vague idea of what a geo metro is. Not all wiki readers are from the USA. But a 80s VW Polo was 765kg...

Microcar
→Legal position: unverifiable meddling aside, available information on the Messerschmitt says it'll do 78mph, not 90. Which is still pretty good for 20hp in anything that isn't actually a motorcycle... (a normal car would need ~35hp)

FMR Tg500
→Data: enough of the dreaming, hey? the linked sources say 78mph and 28 seconds, why don't we stick to that? unless of course you have a reliable, citeable source that says otherwise?

FMR Tg500
→Performance: no... never mind ... the result was correct, but it showed the decimal for mph. let's just assume their conversion-fu is as questionable as wiki's used to be...

FMR Tg500
→Performance: experiment: the source says 125km/h, which can also be rounded to 78mph. maybe putting a slightly different figure into the converter can tweak the output?

FMR Tg500
→Performance: more back-to-front conversions (Motorbase gives it in mph first, we must assume they measured in mph then converted), and the source page says 82mph for the Sprite, not 78. I suspect fiddling for propaganda purposes...?!

Using the "convert" tool to show 0-60mph times... that were originally measured in mph... by converting FROM 97km/h back to mph. The mind absolutely boggles.

if you're going to take out the illustrative screenshot links (don't know why) you could at least make sure the singular Mobygames link at the bottom works

what exactly are the "usual" upgrades? SC is reasonably unique in what it offers for sale and how they work (and disappear after each race) anyway...
