I really should be better at this by now
Mars Engineering is proud to present the “ME Yakima” Mark 2
It completes 2 Laps of the Example Track in 81,60s (2x 40,80)
Quatermile: 13.0s @ 185kph
I’m bored at school, so here’s the current leaderboard:
Lap Times:

Der Bayer 82.38
Iztd15 83.54
07CobaltGirl 85.74
KingJanic 85.88
MViking 92.40
Quarter Mile Time:

Der Bayer 13.1
Iztd15 13.3
Kingjanic 13.7

Spool Engineering unveils the Brute. 630Nm of torque makes a mockery of the 335mm rear slicks as you slingshot through the quarter mile in 12.8secs all day everyday.
Test track in 40.91 - x2 = 81.82sec
The MTBF rule was changed so I need another car and this is my creation:
Name of the car: R60 Potentia II
Name of the Company: CTech Industries
Here is the Ligra MC with its powerful and progressive engine.
Time around Example Track: (would be the total time or the time invested??) 81.3 s (40.65 x2).
Quarter Mile Time: 13.10s
Every one of you guys has destroyed me in car-making design. I’d still like to try though.
My entry:
Name of Car: Chaser (Mk.I)
Company: (TBD) (I’d like to use Rallye Motors / Rallye Motor Cars or just Rallye)
Powerplant: 5.7l V8 Triple Carb 16V OHC 366HP / 389ft-lb torque
Time Trial: 87.64s
Quarter Mile: 13.80s @ 173km/h (107.52MPH)

M57P: 5.7L 366hp
Nice Car autofrank!
I can’t tell from the pics, but it looked like you didn’t flare the rear wheel arches. That would let you put bigger tires on, and get better acceleration. (If you did this, forget I said anything, if you didn’t, you could probably shave off 1 maybe 1.5 seconds)
Not sure if i’ve ever used this contraption elsewhere but i adapted it to this challenge.
So the Local Gangsters got wind of the local competition and considering Muscle Cars roots in Motorsport what would be more fitting then their own get away car entry.
Packing enough “Bling” that you know who’s boss, a Modest 400 Horsepower and a 305mm/355mm slick combo to out run any Police pursuit plus a reasonable 15.6 MPG for those runs to the Border the “Gangster Chariot” Comes out fighting. Did i mention it pulls a 12.7 1/4 Mile and 40.32s Second Example track run
Junny, awesome! I love that body. I used the same body for Octan2013s Hyper hatch comp but with obvious fixture variations. At the time it reminded me of a Toyota Rukus on steroids.

I don’t believe you got 515HP without breaking the rules.

Thank you. The rear tires are 255 - i was going for a stock 1960s look. are we supposed to be building modern muscle cars (like classics) that have a engine from 1960 on a modified classic body, or a car BUILT in 1960. because my car was BUILT in 1960 and that’s how i designed the body.
Built 1960, designed to go fast, so maybe looking like 1960s, maybe not.

I first thought it was a typo and was meant to be 415hp until I actually looked at the screen shots. Maybe possible with overbore SOHC engine perhaps? Regarless its funny that the car is not competitive at all even with 25% more power (:(sorry for being mean, bring the gearing down alot to a speed that is appropriate and it will be a completely different animal )

Has anyone else noticed that using 2- or 4- barrel carbs reduces the life of the engine? Is this a bug or intended by the devs? I don’t see why the life would be reduced, but I’m not an expert on carburetors.
