Lightweight High Performance Coupe/Roadster competition

:open_mouth:

Not…Possible

Well done ValarMorghulis!

Here’s my entry =)

Responsiveness = 73 = 129 points
Redline = 8300 RPM = 0 points
0-100 = 4sec = 33 points
1/4 mile = 11.8 sec = 18 points
1/4 mile = 201 km/h = 2 points
Top speed = 288.5 km/h = 14 points
Cornering = 1.04g = 20 points
Breaking = 28.8m (95ft) = 20 points
Fuel efficiency = 9.97L/100km (23.59mpg) = -12 points
Loudness = 33.7 = 0 points

Total = 224 points!

Oh yeah, wheels are 235/285.

Great engine, other than the fact that it’s built in 2014, not 1994.

lol, I totally missed that bit.
Even though it’s written in BRIGHT RED… actually, I probably missed it because it’s written in bright red.
Will adjust and revise!!

I admit my defeat. I’m not even close to what others have built, but i’m still pretty fond of my creation because i think it looks nice and because it does 197mph.

What kinda surprises me is that i make only 99 score when the only negative score i get is for fuel consumption. But then, i have a 6.5L V8 so what do you expect? :smiley:
And before you all start screaming “You can’t make a 6.5L V8 for less than 1600$!!”, well. I can, just barely :smiley:

So it’s not the best car overall, but it’s most probably the best sounding one :slight_smile:

Greets,
Tom

Tonight I will double check the scores and put them into the OP.

I have revised mine, and I believe I am in the lead.

speechless

1.4g???

Cornering is way unbalanced, please fix.

At first I was like Dafuq?? And then realized i was winning.

@salen00b: I was talking with Gt1Cooper and he said that you have to set the cooling level appropriately, so unless your engine gets a good enough MTBF with 0 cooling then you need to redo your tests. (To see what the MTBF is like with the correct cooling, revise your engine in the car designer with the cooling set at whatever level the final test will be at)

I saw the call for a high performance roadster and, as has been my way since the suzuki escudo in gran turismo 3, I immediately tried to make the most powerful thing I could manage :smiley: I will probably have another crack at the handling tomorrow to see if i can improve it a bit.

Results (with the nerfed responsiveness):
responsiveness: -46.5
redline: 0
0-100: 66
1/4 mile time: 75
1/4 mile speed: 42
top speed: 50
cornering: 0
braking: 10.24 (converted my car to feet using google then used that scoring)
Economy: -31.8 UKMPG or -36.2 USMPG (wasn’t sure which you were using)
loudness: 0

Total: 164.94 (UK MPG), 160.54 (US MPG)

(you will have to adjust the tyres and brake disks to the maximum sizes possible/allowed since they don’t seem to save properly)

Yes, i was mad enough to try and make a high power V8 turbo engine fit in these rules :smiley:


the MTBF figure comes from the car with the vents set at the level it is set at in the screenie below (aka, max ventilation).

edit
Just for fun i tried my car with all the vents blocked up. i get 213.7 or 208.7 points, depending on whether i use UK or US mpg (but the MTBF would be 0 for sure). And i got a top speed of 262.2mph :open_mouth:

I do think there is something wrong here, I will mention it to the devs. At 12 degrees, your outside tires will be around 11 degrees positive camber, and only the sidewall will be in contact. No way to pull 1.4 g’s.

Here is the revised and cooled version of my entry.

Oh bugger, thats still miles ahead of me.
selfish mode activate
maybe its worth adding a maximum roll angle into the restrictions? My car is a similar weight to salen00b’s and with my roll angle I cant get much more than 1.00g

But I’m not done yet! I found a way to score EVEN HIGHER.
Same engine as the others.

Stop… you are making a mockery of the competition, as well as physics.

How?

I’m deferring my revision until the scoring is finalized. I found the same glitch in cornering earlier. Applying very, very soft suspension settings and extreme negative camber coupled with the proper tires (largest doesn’t always work best) yields insane cornering numbers.
