Don't get me wrong; I love the character of that rear shot its just it doesn't work too well at small size.
I agree, you can't really tell its a Fiero if you aren't familiar with them, it looks just like a Ferrari or CRX.

I'm not at all happy with how the graph in the background looks. Do any of you engineering or math weenies have a program that can simulate a nice fat looking dyno curve for the motor of your choice that I can use as the background?

I can work on the car a bit, but the angle works.

Because it won't work is why. It's art, not science. It doesn't have to be a real dyno sheet. I just need a graph that will be somewhat horizontal in orientation with the red and blue lines. I can fill in the labels.

You're using Photoshop, right?
Use the vector drawing tool. You can make pretty lines that way. Draw them with the pen tool and then set your paintbrush to whatever type of stroke you want, go back to the vector selection (black pointer), right click the path, click stroke path. Makes nice smooth lines. You can make any dyno graph you want. For the grid just take a screenshot out of excel or use the one you had.

Found an even better idea. Turns out Dyno 2000 scales/resizes graphs however you want them so I found an exciting dyno graph and made it approximately banner dimensions. Will this work for you?
