I have thought about maybe adding a 'parry' maneuver where you roll speed +
combat skill (no matter whether it is a strength or speed skill in question)
+ weapon defense bonus as an active defense maneuver.
  Having only dodge as a defense maneuver seems a little too inflexible to
me.

The blaster is able to dish out huge amounts of damage, many time more than
any other delta and his power ignores armor unless it is a power.

A solution could simply be to say that normal vehicles don't have an armor
rating (and reserve that for armored vehicles) and then reduce the number of
wounds you need to do to destroy them, like 5-6 for the Camaro.

I hadn't thought about that. But this will only be a great advantage to the
blaster because extra damage dice don't mean that much.

It does thanks.
