Yes you can get lower profile tyres by increasing the quality. As far as I’m aware this is OK
There is another bug with this though. You have to increase the quality of the tyres by 4 to ‘unlock’ the next lowest tyre profile. However, if you then reduce the quality back down to three or even two you keep this lower profile tyre. Increasing the quality from two to three removes the low profile tyres again. I’ve not explained it very well so if you’re confused just watch the minimum tyre profile as you increase it from 0-4, then decrease to 2, then increase to 3.[/quote]
This is already monitored by Der Bayer iirc, his anti-cheat script looks for this sort of “free techpool”, or atleast as far as I understood.[/quote]
No because this isn’t a cheat. It’s a game bug. The file will read normally. The free tech cheat has nothing to do with it. Free tech cheating has been explain.
The Aichi Pursuer was designed to provide buyers with the luxury of the flagship Aichi Tiara, but with a lower tax liability, and a sportier ride. A 4-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension, premium upholstery, and a 2.0-liter straight-6 with a 2-bbl carb tuned for fuel efficiency complete the package.
The Prost 289 S is the ultimate GT car. Originally designed to replace the company’s 119 sports car, the 289 S combines the power, poise, and handling of a sports car, with the refinement, comfort, and equipment of a luxury car. It’s mechanical-injected, 4.7-liter SOHC V8 produces “sufficient” power to push the car past the 170-mph mark with relative ease.
edit:
Honorable mentions:
The Victory VR8, and VR7 Speed twins, I think, are the best looking. But for the price I was looking to sell them for, I don’t think I could make them as profitable as the two I chose.
The Carter Chateau is easily the most comfortable/luxurious… but with ZERO sportiness (not an exaggeration), I thought it better to enter a more balanced car.
The Echo23 M102 came very close to entering… but with similar stats to the Aichi Pursuer, it made sense to take the cheaper of the two.
The Eagle Rock Eviscer8 was the most expensive car I ever made at $88,000 in 1977 dollars. The name alone is worth the price of admission! However, like its doppelganger, it’s not economically-viable. The stats were also nearly identical to the Prost 289 S, albeit with higher prestige.
The Bravo Sierra Kilo MegaTurbo is a likable car. With sportiness that rivals the Victory cars, and for a cheaper price, it’s the ultimate sleeper. If we could choose 3 cars, this would have been my 3rd entry, but since we’re limited to 2, it had to be excised.
After doing some tests I’m afraid people may be sitting too much on their cash again in this sales model
My non-sporty cheap compact has half the score of my high performance coupe in Supercar group at the moment (which means a crappy coupe would get 1/4th the sales of a proper sportscar?)
And just a 20% score difference in sporty coupe segment.
I don’t know what’s the problem, seems like GoogleDocs is messing something up. Online the formulas are correct (at least not identical), but as soon as you download the file, everything is the same. Can someone confirm that it’s ok online? I will look how this can be solved.

My downloaded version seems to be working just fine.
I downloaded it in ODS format and am using Open Office.
When did you download it? The GoogleDocs version was okay probably until I edited it to fix a possible exploit when using insane prices (causing bigger numbers than Excel/OpenOffice can handle). The exploit would not have worked because Matlab can handle bigger numbers, but still it had to be fixed.
Not long after the challenge was launched. So, about a week ago.
Just re-downloaded off the link in your last post and copied one of my cars aver and got the same results just now showing with decimal places (so it’s definitely a different version because the formatting is different).
I had the same problem (xlsx in Office 2007), I just fixed it manually… the problem is that the formula is the same for all categories (for C$) and you have to change the column in the formula that takes values from the next list for the other categories. The funny thing is that online the formula was good (but cells for values were locked so I couldn’t test my builds there) but it got bugged after downloading.
I also tried downloading in ods format and opening it in Office but that was even worse (formula was not bugged, but completely missing).
I don’t know what’s going on there. I even tried making a completely new spreadsheet without copying stuff over and still it is bugged when downloaded. Screw you Google.
