Just in case you dont know how to do so wargames: Hover your mouse pointer over Lordreds name, click on “Private Message” (A.K.A. PM), compose your PM with your cars name and what country it comes from, near the bottom you must attach your zip file with the “Choose” button, then the “Add the file” button, wait until it finishes then you can send your car.
Wargames is in 20/20, however Wargames has no country, manufacture or model name.
I need to finish entering the data, for all the entries, post some fun tidbits and then get on with the final show.

go with, USA, Something Awful, and gooncave.
Oops. I waited until today to try to post this, 'cause there were only maybe a dozen cars and I didn’t think it’d fill up so fast in just a day. sigh…
Good luck to all the competitors who made it in on time, though.
Sure you can think of something better? Or do you not take this competition all that serious?

Man…my poor little car is going to get stomped…bad.
EDIT: Or is it…hmmmmmmm I have no idea TBH, this is the best thing about not knowing the weighting.
Hey, for the first time ever it looks like I’m doing better than average on every stat. Except horsepower, yet somehow, but still doing well on the quarter mile!
Well, at least I’ve got the biggest engine. Not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing, yet.
Yeaaaah… I’m getting slaughtered on this one.
But hey, I’ve got WAY more power and torque than average. On an OHV engine, no less.
when i joined this challenge i thought that my car was going to be underpowered, but somehow its 2.5i 18v v6 is above average!
(although way under average on torque)
Oh wait, checked my real stats. Turned out my car is slightly below average on most stats after all. My superior economy doesn’t even offset the higher annual service costs (like, I save a whole twelve bucks a year at the pump and pay maybe 200 bucks a year more on service costs??? So much math lolol).
Maybe I’ll join you guys on bemoaning impending failure
I can not remember my stats at the moment, except that I believe my economy is roughly average, but I shall take this time to declare my eminent victory.

I also have an OHV!! And probably the least amount of power out of everyone.

Well, that’s a surprise. I thought I’d be outcompeted severely but apparently I made it into the top five!
Did I actually make the top 5??? … wooooooooooow And how in the WORLD did I not have the slowest 1/4 mile???
CONGRATS!!!
Seems my car is also again in the top 5!
Your little car had a lot of redeeming features needed in a family car.
Fun Fact. The Benchmark car was COMPLETELY outstripped by the entries I received.
Good job to all of you.
