Welcome to ARM43
In this event we will see how far a chassis of the failed Argon Fennic can be pushed.
Lore
The Argon Fennic gt was a concept car that made waves in 1988 when it showed up as a RWD V6 compact performance sedan. It made promises of a return to fast fun sports cars the brand was known for in the 60s and 70s. Then Argons budget team decided to turn the Fennic into a commuter car, swapped out the performance for cheap components and sent it down the production line. The public was let down with the new lack luster body styling and the lack of a performance or even RWD option stunted sales. 1993 - 1995 before being replaced.
background
We will provide shops a stock Fennic gt from 1993 this neo retro car was built on a solid concept but the production unit was lack luster and do to budget cuts in the company lost its fanbase and its soul. Can your shop restore this car to something worthy of praise or did Argon go to far with the cut backs?
Expected customs
Let your personal flair show, the original concept was RWD, their was an AWD version so the chassis is ready for anything. We need a street legal car that has the heart of performance.
(Meaning what ever that means to you. Drag, Race, Ralli, Drift, Show car with wild stereo)
Score
5 STAR
Styling
Go big or go sleeper, just make sure it kills at the showcase!
4 Star
Respect to the original car.
We still want the car to be recognizable as the Fennic.
3 Star
Performance.
The Fennic lost all the performance from the concept car, it needs sorted to get people onboard
cohesiveness
The stats and engineering should match the type of build you are doing, well, at least as good as it can be represented within the limits of the game.
Drivability.
Its a street car at the end of the day and needs to be able to get between events with out a trailer.
2 Star
Safety.
It should be safe enough to not break ribs taking a corner.
Reliability.
Again we need the car to get to the events without having a service car on call.
Sportiness.
does it matter if its fast if its not fun to drive?
1 Star
Price.
MPG.
