	~~For much of~~ the early days of car customisation, ~~including~~ the [[Kalpen]] era and the early 00s, custom cars were usually referred to as '''cheat cars'''. That reflected how most of them were exercises in pushing against the limits of the game's possibilities, by creating extremely powerful cars capable of implausibly fast high scores. Two of the best known among those ~~''stricto sensu'' cheat cars~~ are ~~the~~ [[Lada Niva Comeback]] and the [[Skoda Felicia Kompressor]].		In the early days of car customisation, during the [[Kalpen]] era and the early 00s, custom cars were usually referred to as '''cheat cars'''. That reflected how most of them were exercises in pushing against the limits of the game's possibilities, by creating extremely powerful cars capable of implausibly fast high scores. Two of the best known among those are [[Lada Niva Comeback]] and the [[Skoda Felicia Kompressor]].

	Still in the early 00s, two projects were early, trend-setting efforts to create more believable custom cars: Zapper's [[Tuned For Real]] series, whose main goal was creating more accurate versions of the original cars, and [[Alan Rotoi]]'s [[Melange XGT-88]], which despite being a fantasy car has performance in line with the IMSA cars from the original set. The paradigm shift, though, would only happen in its earnest from 2008 with the release of [[stressed]], which made custom graphics a reality. Car creation, which at the time was feared to have become a lost art, experienced a revival, as designers were motivated by the new possibilities to start or resume projects. These projects were mostly focused on realistic modelling of cars, as custom graphics made that a much more attractive proposition, and also because [[ZakStunts]], which opened slots for custom cars from 2009 on, encourage cars with believable performance for use in competition.

Given the prevalence of more realistic creations in the modern era, "custom car" has mostly replaced "cheat car" in common parlance, with the latter term now usually referring specifically to the ultra-fast, ''stricto sensu'' cheat cars from the early days.
