What I was referencing was that real cars would have significantly higher values in gross during this era than what the game would portray, so would they rather we have inflated HP values in net, or tone them down to be more realistic analogues.

Also, what are era-accurate brakes?
1970s was basically a transition period for auto manufacturers worldwide, including the USA is terms of adopting disc brakes as apposed to drum brakes. However, most cars during the earlier part of the 70s were still using drum brakes.
Basically these cars were shit-tastic all-round, but made great noises.

Jones sits back in his office chair, and tilts his head back over the headrest and thinks to himselfâŚ
âBig V8, big car⌠Ha! I know just the carâ
Jones picks up his office phone and calls his friend Bernie that works at a Katsuro dealershipâŚ
Jones:
âYo Bernie, whatâs upâ
Bernie:
âSup Jonesy, what can I do for ya?â
Jones:
âYo, I got a friend that needs something big and fast, I was thinking boutâ one of em greasers you gotâ
Bernie:
âI already told you Jones that these greasers are limited production, 6.5 liters of Asio-American powa, they go for a pretty penny. Iâm not doing no deals for youâ
Jones:
âCalm down Bernie, before I have to tell your wife about them 3 kids you got outside. Listen, this guy is a oleâ friend of mine and I need to deliver. Now letâs work something out.â
Bernie:
âReally Jones? youâre gonna rat on me to my wife? Youâre a real piece of shit. Ok I can probably squeeze one through the back door, but itâs gonna cost ya 30k.â
Jones gets up out of his seat and yells at Bernie over the phone:
â30k, are you fuckinâ retarded? I know the Dealer price is 25k so why the fuck would you try to hustle me?â
Bernie:
âAlright alright, Iâm kidding. Calm down. Give me 24k and Iâll see what I can do.â
Jones:
âOkay, that doesnât sound too bad. Youâve got a deal. Iâll call him up and see if heâs interested.â
Jones hangs up the phone and calls Mark to give him the news.
Price: 23k

First attempt at one of these design challenges.
The slightly outdated, 1970 TAG Auto Deluxo SS.
An import converted to left hand drive, powered by the Standard 6L Straya V8, good for 265 hp reaching a top speed of 144mph/231kph.
0-100 in 7.03 seconds, got it in good condition, a steal at $23,400!
Got a 2:32.871 in Beam compared to the Automation result of 2:34.93

Which mods are these? Iâve never heard of a user called maymay and I havenât seen this name on the Steam Workshop!
Itâs a joke on the pronunciation of memes. Just avoid the memes if what it means.

OK, makes sense, they want to limit entries to make judging easier and faster. I can now make something without fear of inadvertently installing/using banned mods. 
My first photoshop (GIMP) for a while. Heavily inspired by the '69 Charger advert. I just did it for Dale!

Okay I might be late but any quality slider restrictions?
Piloted by many a friendly old chain smoking mustached British cop in the late 60âs, the Empire Prefect made its way over to the States in 1970 to bring the UK cop experience across the pond. Only problem is, police departments didnât take too kindly to its straight six-only powertrain options, its manual gearbox, its compact dimesnions compared to American landyachts and itâs relatively high $20k starting price
Engine: 4.5 inline six: cast iron block with forged internals. 230 hp
5 speed manual gearbox, automatic locker diff.
0-60 of 7.8 seconds, top speed of 125 mph
meets all the other requirements
