Daaaaaaamn and I thought that my 310 was fast… Back to the workshop than 
Interesting, my turbo out powers you and I’m actually a bit lighter but my top speed is far lower, maybe front wheel drive isn’t the answer…
I think the body that I used is simply too heavy. Too late now, can’t be bothered to change it again 
well… down the dump both of my cars goes…
i forgot that older bodies are lighter and not so much less aerodynamic.
should’ve tried the non-sprite body…
With this non-porsche body I really get greater results but wheel spin is awful due to huge turbo…
Yes that’s a tradeoff.
The Porsche is aerodynamic and light, but it comes with those small tyres, and this is a problem you must offset.
I am not convinced it is the best choice, but it is pretty straightforward when you know what you have to achieve.
Non-sprite? Is this a mod?
And don’t forget to include the body in your submission, I was a bit cross today about the amount of work I spent to get some cars running.

There is a common group of mods which most everybody uses and can be found here. By using this,you will eliminate most of your “mod headaches” concerning the entries. It is not every single mod, but the ones chosen as the best by Prylix, who is a modder himself. You will probably still have some mods used which are not in the group (mostly bodies probably), but they will be less of a headache for you to deal with.
Steam? I dont want to use Steam (it deletes your porn, dont you know?)
The old method with the community modpack was much better, than being forced to get everything through a corporate website.
Anyway. If you supply me with the body you use it’s fine.
If you are not using the steam version, then you will always be behind.

Well it is a publicly available body, so it is available to you also as a non-steam user. Having said this, I had reservations about a “vanilla” competition to begin with, and I think I will now just quietly withdraw my intent to submit a car. Of course, as a woman, I don’t have to worry about anybody deleting my porn. I don’t have any porn to be deleted. If you’re so enthralled by the community mod pack, then perhaps you should make a new one. Of course, doing so is inefficient compared to the Steam Workshop (for the person who is making the community mod pack manually), and as a German I’m sure this *inefficiency *also makes you cross, so you probably cannot be bothered with such trivial tasks. Good day to you.
Hmmm I suppose we’ll see most people using your car body mate… :S
Make it a one-make competition as it will be easier 
That could be a problem, yes.
I’d prefer a open body contest, my car is only a few seconds behind and I have not tuned much yet.
I also dont see why someone could not find a better solution, without the terrible tyres of the Porsche and the problems they create.
It’s really just a matter if going through the bodies one by one now. I’m confident in my engine, now I just have to find the right body.
If it wasn’t so bloody heavy I’d have entered the Crown Victoria body in Wagon form because of its insanely low drag coefficient. Sure enough my setup was capable of nearly 340kph and reached 320kph from a standing start. However in the end it still weighs about 1.5x as much as the small bodies, which makes it really rather sluggish off the line.
One possibility would be to rule out the winning body of the previous race, if it was too dominant.
So we’ll see, the race is not over but if the Porsches get too dominant this would be an option.
Okay, well, in that case, I know which body’s going to absolutely slam that not-Porsche body off the table. I think we all do tbh. But for academic interest I’ll make it anyway! (After all I do like my engine, I think it deserves a good run).
