(Open NYC.GCI in your \GTA2\Data folder with notepad or another ASCII 
text editor (make sure you have a backup)and edit the specifications. 
It's a bit faster than the original, yet still very maneuverable. 
Change {turbo} to 1 to add jet engines. (In other words, you'll get
an enormous speedboost)

 INSTALLING
========================================================================
1. Download STYed 1.4 (or higher) from 
   http://www.i999.freeserve.co.uk or
   http://www.niteshade.net/gta/cgi-bin/downloadcount/countdown.cgi?/gta2/utilities/styed14.zip

   (if none of the two locations work, search GTA2 STYed on google.
   you'll find it.)

2. Install and start STYed.

3. Load the file ste.sty (level 2 graphics) or bil.sty (level 3 graphics), 
   which should be in your \GTA2\Data folder.
   (be sure to make a backup, in case anything goes wrong.)

4. Go to the Rightmost window and select car 39. Click 
   File > Import > Import image.

5. Select [Car39.bmp] from any of the versions.

6. Press ok. Press CTRL-D. Click 'Import deltas'. 
   Choose [DeltaSet39.bmp]. (Be sure to pick the right deltaset, 
   with the same name as the [Car 39.bmp].  Press ok.

7. To get new remaps working, press CTRL-P, click [remaps and doors] 
   and add a remap number. I've added an image with all the remap 
   colors in the *.zip file, so you can pick your favourite color.

8. Save the File and run GTA2.

 DESCRIPTION
========================================================================
The Antarxa is modeled after the Chevrolette Mako Shark and 
the Stingray. Information and pictures can be found at 
http://home.att.net/~smithwe/mako.htm . If that page's gone, you'll 
have to search for yourself, sorry. ;)
The Chevy had a bit of a pointier end, but due to space restrictions
I couldn't fit that in. Nevertheless, I think it's a nice reproduction.

Hexman190 offered some car ideas, and suggestions which car to do. So
be glad he did it, or this car wouldn't have been. (Or scold him if 
you think the car sucks, it's all the same to me)
It's also because of him that the car has a 6 on top. (hex is Greek 
for six, geddit?)

Anyway. The car works with any remap, with any version. I tried making 
it so it'd fit perfectly into GTA2, and I think it's working quite
nicely. I've included an animated gif showing the process.
One thing you need to know, I always make my cars 2x the size they need 
to be. it's much easier to work on the details that way. Just about 
halfway I resize it to 1x the size, so I can focus on the pixel work.

I'm very proud of it. For a change I think that the extra versions
really add something to the car, save for the funfactor.

 ADDITIONAL NOTES
========================================================================
You can post this car on your own site, as long as you give me credit  
for it. For comments, queries, questions, quibbles, suggestions and/or 
insults please mail to me[a]mahjqa[.]com, or contact me on AIM 
(Mahjqa)

If you want a modified version of my car(s), feel free to ask!

And if you want to know how I make those cars work with the gta2 remaps,
just drop me a mail and I'll be glad to explain.

And yes! Visit my site! It's got lots of pretty pictures. 

I dare you.
