It doesn’t, but some of us like to really get into the design part of things.
What do you mean by that?
As in some of us like to spend a lot of time designing cars to fit the era.
It ain’t just alien cars fitting the era tho, like the new Prius, which looks really bad imo, take a look at the 2017 golf, both look 2017 but Prius looks like they just tried way too hard to make it look cool.

I agree, the Prius looks way out of its league, but I don’t actually hate it for that 
Also, about time I get to (re-)making my entry!

So you could have an inline 6.
You could have a turbocharged inline 6.
You could have an extremely efficient turbocharged inline 6!
But instead, you decided to ditch the turbo, cut the engine in half, but take all of this car:
Gordon! An econobox that stays true to its name!
“Gordon, you should actually cut down on the Magnesium! Your entire block is already made from it!”
Yes, actually, I just now noticed that I accidentally left the block on Magnesium. Well, still within the price limit

Boyd Motors was also considering entering a substantially different vehicle into competition, but the revived ‘Pluton’ concept, a cut price GT car, was scrapped again owing to concerns of market viability.
Modelling and tests showed it would have achieved a 0-100 km/h time of 5.8 seconds, a top speed of 249 km/h and combined fuel economy of 4.68 l/100 km, thanks in part to an efficient 7-speed dual clutch transmission. Aside from such straight line performance at hybrid-level economy, the main attraction would have been the opportunity to own a V12 engine at such a modest price point; the low tax 2.2 litre naturally aspirated power plant was in fact the only entertainment provided in the vehicle, contributing to dubious marketability (drivers were expected to use their own devices for navigation). An AWD system with a viscous LSD provided some degree of off-road capability, permitting safer and more confident touring in rough and hazardous road conditions.
The price point was projected to be $22,680.

I like this competition, even though I probably didn’t win. 
I know it’s heresy to say around all the motorheads here, but trying to build around something besides just racing performance is interesting to me. Certainly encouraged a bit of learning.
I also came up with a premium comfort car, but I figure that probably wouldn’t have scored well much like that budget GT.

There are a couple of dark horses in this bunch. People who’ve been around a long time, who haven’t said very much on the forums lately. Probably because theyre hanging around on the chat.
Specifically I Wonder what @conan built

Most common tyre type comes to mind.
Also most common interior.
I’d love to see 0-100 and quarter mile stats too of that’s not too hard.
haha I snagged biggest engine, fastest around the track, lowest fuel efficiency and most expensive car all in one!

My engine is the smallest. 
Although, its redline is 8000, not 7600… maybe it’s so small that Madrias didn’t see it.
