Once again, I felt that the Muscle Car War engines are too small, but not wanting to change the rules, decided to start this.

I think that’s everything. If I missed anything or you think the rules should change, tell me.
It set a Quarter Mile Time of 12.90 Seconds, mostly because the tires and the ground didn’t seem to get along very well However, it still managed a top speed of 220 MPH
Even though your engine makes almost 100hp more, i was able to go faster down the quarter mile i think that’s mostly because of the lower top speed which allows my car to accelerate faster. Also, the first gear goes up to 100km/h ^^
Step aside mortals. Spool Motorsports now delivers to you, the most anticipated model of 1965.
The 10.8L Drag Brute.
This competition only weapon requires each owner to complete a driving aptitude test unless your name is Jay Leno. I’ll let this animal speak for itself. Incidently we all offer a 4WD model as an option that cuts the quarter mile time to 11.1secs.
Hey Killrob! Definitely correct, I just tried a few combinations and trap speed and times seem to work the way they should in relation to weight - I was just a bit shocked 335 semi slicks with a +10 modifier couldn’t hold it together that well. Does the coeffecient of friction constant you use in the sim change with the build date(eg 2014)? I could understand 1965 rubber being pretty average, especially for the torque involved.
Saleenoob, I’ve the trick of gearing it down to improve times but by slotting in an extra gear and then gearing it down so your terminal speed is at the 4th or 5th gear has the same effect and also gives the machine more legs for more circuit oriented competitions. I tried literally click by click on improving ultimate gearing/spacing to match terminal speed and 11.9 was all I could get. That extra 20 odd horsepower you had was just too much for me I think mate.
The tyre friction coefficient indeed does increase over the years. If I remember correctly, it’s 30% higher in 2020 than in 1940 and it scales linearly between these years.
Sweet as, it’s just I’d pretty disappointed if I got to 2010ish and couldn’t get a 3.0L Turboed I6 to crack 900+HP and 9 sec quarter miles on a tyre thats bigger then 12.5" wide.
However, it still managed a top speed of 220 MPH 
oh my 
more power and less weight only helps when you have the grip to back it up!
