IT WAS A STIPULATION DAMMIT LET ME FEEL GOOD!!!

WTF??? 1778hp???That’s a hell lot of power!!!
And with the same weight… yeah, that will be really hard!
Mine does the airfield in around 1:12, but thats because it’s tunned to increase drivability and confort.

Well, I was feeling a little bit confident…until I saw the competition.
We, at First Order Automotive, are now weeping in a corner…
We only got a piddly 5.5L pushing out a piddly little 695hp.
sigh

That’s nothing compared to my NA V12, which develops nearly 800 bhp. @phale is in a different league altogether, though, with >1700 bhp.

People going with insane power to shoot a car down a straight line while keeping everything in a budget you say?
Deadline tomorrow?
Boss Motorsports may throw something together quickly for this because, you know, reasons…

Okay I came up with something in order to participate in my-own-damn-rule-game 
It’s called Smooth Tear SR and it goes bellow 17 seconds 1/2 mile woohoooo (EDIT: I just figured out I was watching standing km the whole time… never go full retard…)

Ok so we are all clear. Everyone seems happy with current rules so I will not change them after this round.

Here is my entry for this round (and my first car to be entered in this contest), the ADM (not to be confused with @Sillyworld’s company of the same name) Skyhawk 800. It may only have just under 800 bhp from its twin-turbo crossplane V8 (although it has >800 PS, hence the name), but it still takes just under 16 seconds to do a half mile and manages an Airfield Track lap time of just over 1:12. It’s quite comfortable, with a high-quality premium interior and infotainment suite, and despite its massive power, is still drivable enough for mere mortals. And even with markups, it’s still well under the $180k cost limit.
The amazing thing about its engine is that in addition to being extremely reliable and not loud enough to offend the neighbors on startup, it also only requires 95 RON premium unleaded, and isn’t too thirsty either (<10l/100km). So the Skyhawk is a hypercar - it just happens to be a fairly sensible one. It took me until just a few hours before the deadline to finalize the design and engineering aspects of it, though, due to the high drivability threshold, which was quite difficult to exceed with the RWD mandate in place for this round. And with braking distances of well under 32m with not even the slightest trace of fade, you can always count on the carbon ceramic brakes to keep you out of trouble even at high speeds.

Why would you do that to yourself?
Using 95 RON made it sellable in Fruinia (where 98 RON super unleaded is scarce), but more importantly, although using 98 RON would have allowed for even more power (via increased boost and/or compression ratio), the extra output would have most likely pushed the drivability below the threshold, which I didn’t want to do.

That body is weird looking. Is it a Spyker replica or something like that?
I agree but i works 
. Don’t know[quote=“Razyx, post:181, topic:16427”]
started with an idea that went out of the window. From there on it can be aything…, like a rounded rear end and a squarish front end, and that it’s what has happened. I’ve had to remake the front end.I said porsche-esque and… see the pic

under 17 for 1km.
my car has about 330kph after 1/2 mile. let’s assume yours is the same and that in reaches 360 after 1km. that would be 345kph medium speed between 1/2mile and 1km. 345/3.6=96m/s. 1km-1/2mile=200m. 200/96=~2s.
so your car does it in under 15’s, probably mid 14’s.
amirite?
correct
