Please include a race car body kit, the one with the vent at the rear looks awesome.

At the very least, it needs to be the 1973 road version rather than the 1971 road version. The '73 version had slightly better performance, and that was the year the road-going aero kit (wing and front splitter) were offered.

I was positive that the road going version of the 3.0 CSL was featured in at least Motorsport 7 as well, but it turns out its last appearance was in Motorsport 4. I miss this car and hope to see it back in a future series, or even (preferably) rescanned for Motorsport 2023

I’d take the full-on race bodykit as a separate car. After all, two race versions of it were featured in Motorsport 6, it could be a perk unlock

I actually never knew the aero kit was available in Motorsport 4 for the road car.
