wutā¦ never once would i thought a pony would win thisā¦
since i was aiming for muscle premium, i didnāt pay a single regard to price and aim for the highest market score. didnāt consider that price would outweigh score
congrats @nialloftara
but then again, realistically. even irl pony would give you best bang for your bucks, because thatās what it supposed to give, and muscle being the car for those with a bit more money to burn, and muscle premium for the rich and famous
Lol nice, eccentric. I didnāt really read the brief closely enough 
Also stupid file clearly didnāt save my naming right. The engine was affectionately known as The Big One (maximum tune). Which is a misnomer because there is only one tune haha.
Strop beat me with a monster. I bad at challenges.
Hahaha, boxy Porsche is a perfect way to describe the Vindicator 
Unlike most American car companies, Adenine actually cares about efficiency, in this case efficiently getting the massive engine power to the road. Weāll let the other cars handle the burnouts while we speed by them in comfort and style 
Edit: by the way, did high schoolers have YouTube back in the 60s and 70s or does everyone just happen to want restored 40 year old cars?
Congrats @nialloftara for a well deserved round 1 win!
Canāt wait to see what round 2 brings
EDIT: Checked the OPā¦ My car needs to go on a diet, STAT!!! 
##[smartass]"Win on sunday, sell on monday"[/smartass]
A simple race around the Daytona Nascar Track.
Congratulations to @strop
for his staggering win!
Also, I change the scoring system a bit, because granting 10 points max. and only to the first 10 proved to be a very bad idea (i didnāt expect so many competitors). Iāll Update the OP with the total score so far.
Also, time for the round number 3, the bathing suit contest!
##[smartass]āMuscle cars, because no kid grew up with a poster of a Honda civic in their roomā[/smartass]
Simply vote for the best looking cars! click here
Iām guessing we arenāt allowed to vote for ourselves?
Not that it matters for me, I canāt win anyways 
You can choose the best 3, and the vote is secret. If you think you car looks that good, you may vote for it 
Such a nice review, still only 10th. Not sure where did I miss most pointsā¦ Congrats to top 3, great cars you have made
@Sillyworld great challenge, once again Iām really enjoying your work!
hmmm well thats my first wooden spoon overall on reflection I made a crappy car
Ah i knew it, dirt cheap car was going to win the first round, the cost was simply the largest factor in the score. Should have submitted my stage one with the 300 cubic inch v8 and was alot cheaper.
But, ill take second place around the track, just a bit behind strop with 110 less horses under the hood, ill take that as a victory.
Your car probably has nearly as good a power to weight ratio and definitely a much better FR weight balance than mineā¦ look at the superior 0-100 time! My car was solely built around a big fucking pushrod block in the front and that was it haha. Iām honestly surprised it was even fast around the track, I suspect thatās all to do with the ridiculous amount of attack on my aero fixtures, which gives me just as good cornering at high speeds as it does low speeds. I am very confident that if several other contestants had bothered to add aero to their cars, I would have been beaten, but as it is, me being me, Iām more than happy to take this round
Now, how to vote, some of these cars look real niceā¦
I only had 44.4lbs front and 23.4 lbs rear, with only .14 horsepower per pound(3216 lbs). Pretty mild aero and the car is fairly light. The daytona track is just a big oval so any aero to keep speed in the sweepers helps big time.
The time, atleast after editing my car, adding another 100 hp would shave about a second off the time.
My car was 3674 lbs, so with 560hp, that would be 15.2hp/lb. Front attack is set high enough to negate any lift, and the rear wing has a fair bit of downforce, allowing the car to do 1.09g on the skidpan at both 20m and 250m. But itās the weight distribution (59:41) that kills it, along with the brakes struggling to keep up. I did pour quite a bit of tech into trying to keep the damn thing under control, and thatās why it does quite poorly in the value stakes.
Note: with the new calculations coming up, longitudinal grip improves, so expect better starts! My Juggernaut goes from 5.7s to 4.9s!
Brakes? My car didnt have any, small rim diameter for MOAR TIRE.
lol! Good thing brakes arenāt really that necessary in NASCARā¦
I stick by Preston Tucker and Ferdinand Porscheās ideas, Rear engine is the RIGHT position 
Also the phonograph is in there so the engine sound isnāt the only thing you listen to
Obviously, this goes without saying, but not cheating in the votation.
Which means:
a) only forum members may vote
b) accounts inactive since 2012 are unlikely to vote, yet even being in the forums @Jason @dean @asdf
Oh, already? Thatās disappointing. Will you be extrapolating the data from those votes to investigate who might be doing such a thing?
(It would be a simple matter of seeing whether any of those users actually reply, with the exception of duplicate accounts, but that in itself would also have suspicious user posting patterns.)
Any way to setup a poll on these forums?
