[quote=“Microwave”]Give me a name and I’ll post it 
Also, Koolkei, you need to tell me whether it’s a production or race car. I’m going to make an application form sort of thing in the OP so things don’t get so confusing next time.[/quote]
ah missing all the details everywhere. it’s a production car in design.
Ok, added you both. Once we reach 5 entries on both leaderboards I’m going to switch over to the Google Spreadsheet.
Just a reminder: I assume you’re going to add sorting by price tag once we’ve enough entries? I’m sure it’ll factor into one’s considerations! (Does not apply so much to the race mode though, where anything goes).
Yes, we’re planning to add things like price tags and turbo vs NA and so on… Atleast that’s the plan. Things are going to be confusing at first but once we iron all the problems out it should be good. However, I’m not going to have very much time for the rest of this week and next week so it may take a while for this system to be put into place completely.
Price tag is already planned in the Data sheet
The hardest thing would be making sure that the sheet gets filled automatically once we fill the Data sheet. Will take time to get the formula sorted, but if we do then it should be very nice.
More rankings should be made, in order to get a better idea of the cars. Such as NA vs Turbo,etc. Because some model are rather outdated here and it doesn’t quite represent the potential of a car. The Stingray and SX1 are perfect examples. Therefore we consider running a sheet with cars from various decades. That’s an example and we have yet to fully decide on what to do.
After Microwave gets the data on the spreadsheet, I’d suggest you guys not to pay attention at the other sheets besides the Provisional Race vs Prod one. The other ones are here to help me test what we’re looking forward adding in the future.
However if anyone has some good knowledge on Excel,etc. or want to give a suggestion/tips/advices, feel free to drop a PM or write that on here
All good, I can wait!
In the meantime I’ll submit my own ‘production’ car. It’s the only one that I can build at the moment given the current engine constraints, and I’ve referenced it in my own thread:
Company: Gryphon Gear
Year: 2016
Name: Salamander (current version is Test Phase 2, as the headlight design is present, but not complete yet)
Seats: 2
Format: M-AWD
Engine: 3.6L bi-turbo V6
Power and torque: 800hp @ 8400rpm, 749Nm @ 6900rpm
Fuel: 95RON
Price: 170K (34% profit with Tiny factory), with 94.0/95.8 competitiveness in Hyper market in Gasmea/Fruinia
Production run: 200 units, single year, strictly one limited edition run only
Blurb (because I like to get into the spirit of things…):
Salamander is the result of the intensive strategy formation from the Gryphon Gear core design and engineering team in the face of looming financial threat despite a booming international performance automotive culture. Taking a break in 2016 from making cars engineered for the sake of being the most extreme, they concentrated instead on two things: securing the next stage of their racing domination, and making things to a different budget, with a greater market relevance and connection to their struggling manufacturing environs. Salamander is therefore significant as instead of being a bespoke configuration, the engine is made from a bulk order of 200 of the last “High Feature” 3564cc V6 Holden engines to be made in the Australian plant for the express purpose of installation in an Australian made vehicle, if not altogether. The main difference is that this engine has been extensively treated to eke the most out of it with a Big Freaking Turbo treatment.
The result of this (and following the letter, not the spirit of the law of minimum safety standards) is a lightweight but fully-equipped hypercar that straddles a transcendent combination of power, accessibility, and, for once, doesn’t require semi-slicks and perfectly dry track conditions to give it the beans. Unlike previous GG creations, this is a car you can easily use as a daily driver, then pootle down to the track on the weekends and discover world-beating performance for a quarter of the price, all on the same set of tyres. Is that going to wreak havoc on the maintenance bill? Let’s just say it costs way more to insure than it does to actually run…
Should GG sell out all 200 units, it expects to make 14M in profits, adding the amount in tooling and engineering saved by not having to build the engine from scratch (so possibly closer to 20M).
Im gonna be on a flight for the next like 10 hours so I’ll update the OP when I can. You can still send me cars in the meantime.
I’ll add your car on the spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet is up to date with the OP.
I’ll add the Salamander now. I’ve converted Torque to lb-ft though, so 552.43 lb-ft rounded to 553.
I personally work with Nm but Microwave started with lb-ft so I guess he’d prefer seeing the latter.
Other than that, it would be nice if you guys post your stats like Strop just did. It would perfectly fit the (hopefully) final version. Therefore I’ll be using all the stats needed for the test calculations.

since then a got a faster time
Sigh, if I only knew how to configure suspensions.

Both Vehicles are FWD 5 door Hatches. Everyone is posting supercars, and trying to go fast. I’m just gonna throw in some more affordable and generic cars.
“They said never put more than 250hp in a FWD car, I told them they were crazy” - The Designer of the GTi
I approve of this!
(It’s just that my company doesn’t… do that kind of thing… though it may have an FWD entry soon… that will go near the top of the list huehuehuehue)
We going to see the Civic Peapod GG Tune from BSLL make an appearance?
Nope, Strop’s Peapod died in a cloud of detonating gasket heads at the end of 2014, though technically according to BSLL canon it, as well as all the other original BSLL cars, DID actually do a lap around the track, so it should be recorded anyway…
…but what I refer to is in fact a new project for 2016!
This is my car:
Year: 1998
Name: Griffin Ddraig LMP Road Coupe
Engine: 9.2L NA V12 (9202cc)
Power and torque: 900hp, 699ft-lb

i got a FWD car with a 234 HP down to 1:17.7 around the track… until the game crashed on me 
Ok, you’ve all been added to the OP. I’ve updated the entry application thing, so it is now quite a lot more detailed. These extra bits of information will be helpful for us later on when we make comparisons between certain things, like turbo or NA.
I’ve added a new field in the application where people submitting production cars must choose what class best describes their car. I’d be grateful if you guys could tell me some more classes to add to the list.

A few additional notes at this point:
I think it’s pertinent to keep the money sales to Automation money units for consistency (though I don’t have a clear fix as to how they would translate to any real world currency anyway). I think it may also be pertinent to include what profit margin one has selected for the price, given that we’re including data on the market (as I’ve done), because while it is certainly possible to sell cars at a loss for the benefit of the brand (Veyron comes to mind, and tangentially, Teslas in general), it’s rarely viable.
Other than this, further speculations and queries about cars can be directed to the company thread, that’s one of the benefits of having an attention grabber like this leaderboard.
[size=150]2006 Meliora Canto MM[/size]
At the end of 2002, Meliora stoped the production of its sports cars. Then, 2 years later presented a Concept Car in a small autoshow, ony reffered as Super GT. The next year, the concept car was released but with a different name, Canto (spanish word for singing) featuring a 3.5 liters turbo V8, pushing 414 hp. A great GT car, but some sports fans wanted more, and in 2006 the Meliora Canto MM was presented, with a NA 5 liters V8, pushing 500hp and taking only 3.5s from 0-60. This machine was a limited version (as all the MM trims) and only 300 were produced. Up to this day, it remains as a valuable car for collectors and for enthusiasts as well.
Intended use: Production (limited)
Year:* 2006*
Power & Torque ratings: 507bhp @ 7,800rpm – 388ft-lb @ 4,900rpm
Price: $87,472 MSRP (12% profit)

Weight: 1454.9 kg
Format: MR
Class: Supercar

[size=85]EDIT: Scratch that, 1,000 cars it’s a lot[/size]
Yeah, I expect people to use automation money and not irl money
