I do know about Vanishing Point, I just figured the thread was about some new stealth game or something… It makes total sense now though! 
Yeah I remember that, I am also looking for them to implement a better handling system, turning into a corner doesn’t seem to cause the body-roll when the vehicle should lean in/out of a corner. Other things like under-steer/over-steer, doing burnouts!! and an ability to apply the clutch with a key press as I (only) use manual transmission, and other minor annoyances, such as driving off a jump and having the car hit front first on the ground and ‘bounce’ backwards before the vehicle comes to a complete stop… argh!! little issues like that make me want to learn more C++ and try to fix it, but I have my fingers crossed for 4.5 
I think it would look awesome rolling down a track right next to the highway in the desert you have set up, add a couple of box-cars and it would look awesome!
Really cool work , now that I have subscribed I will check in often
