Specs tell you a car's numbers. They don't tell you what those numbers feel like. CarVsLab rebuilds car research from first principles. Pick any two cars and watch real physics play out side by side, in immersive 3D: who stops first, who grips in snow, who protects you better, and what you can actually see from the driver's seat. Free, no sign-up.

Could you build this?
Partial A 3D viewer and side-by-side comparison UI are vibe-codeable with WebGL or Three.js. Simulating real vehicle physics and safety outcomes needs domain-accurate models and proprietary test data.
What it would actually take: Build a web 3D front end with a vehicle physics model (mass, drivetrain, tire grip, braking) that uses published specs as inputs. Accurate stopping, snow grip, and protection comparisons require validated dynamics models and crash-test data from sources like NHTSA or IIHS, plus automotive engineering review of the assumptions. That expertise and data licensing are the hard parts.
