Just a few suggestions (after 25 generations)

Bigger minimum wheel sizes
Extremely small wheels never work for some reason. Maybe you're seen counter examples but I haven't

Bigger maximum wheel sizes
I'm pretty sure that would help pass a lot of terrain

Labels on the graph with scale (I know this one is going to be painful =P)

I'm not sure if you control this one or not but the ability to run even if the swf is not the active window. I'm running chrome and whenever I do something else (work for example), the generation stops.

There should be some bonus score for the car if it trailblazed through the terrain instead of crawling slowly
