14. Vidar Excalibur 400
@machalel
- Driveability: 43
- Sportiness: 17.9
- Comfort: 5
- Top Speed: 171.5 mph
- 0-60 mph: 6.24 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.791 G
The Vidar Excalibur 400 ranks last, largely due to horrible comfort and sportiness. Its top speed and 0-60 mph time are competitive, but it struggles with cornering force. The styling was a bold move but unfortunately it didn’t pay off.
13. Capable Kolondra Hepping
@MrdjaNikolen & @Vento
- Driveability: 41.7
- Sportiness: 10.8
- Comfort: 5.6
- Top Speed: 181.3 mph
- 0-60 mph: 7.55 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.682 G
This car offers decent driveability but falls very short on sportiness and comfort. Despite having one of the highest top speeds, its acceleration and cornering force are underwhelming. It’s styling is also the worst of the bunch.
12. Vermilion Daredevil Wingspan 427
@Flingang
- Driveability: 42.3
- Sportiness: 12.2
- Comfort: 11.5
- Top Speed: 184.4 mph
- 0-60 mph: 5.8 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.753 G
The Vermilion Daredevil has the highest top speed of any car, and has a respectable 0-60 time, but its lower comfort and poor sportiness affect its overall ranking. It’s helped in the looks department by the big stripes and general cohesion of the car.
11. HBC Cheetah SS
@fabiremi999
- Driveability: 39.4
- Sportiness: 25
- Comfort: 15.4
- Top Speed: 160.5 mph
- 0-60 mph: 5.89 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.842 G
Similar to the Vidar Excalibur 400, this car has some sportiness and a good 0-60 time, but its lower top speed and design holds it back.
10. Rhania Grumblebee
@happyfireballman
- Driveability: 38.3
- Sportiness: 28.1
- Comfort: 16.8
- Top Speed: 166.3 mph
- 0-60 mph: 5.41 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.786 G
The Rhania Grumblebee offers solid sportiness and a good 0-60 time. However, its lower driveability and top speed impact its overall performance. It’s also the heaviest car of all, weighing almost 60kgs more than the next heaviest.
9. A.F.A. Vitesse N70
@Danicoptero
- Driveability: 40.3
- Sportiness: 21.5
- Comfort: 11.4
- Top Speed: 177.5 mph
- 0-60 mph: 5.93 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.815 G
The Vitesse N70 balances sportiness and comfort, with good top speed and acceleration. Its overall performance is commendable but not exceptional. Average everywhere, also the car that comes closest to the average score.
8. Labyrinth GTN
@KSIolajidebt
- Driveability: 52
- Sportiness: 19.7
- Comfort: 10.1
- Top Speed: 152.8 mph
- 0-60 mph: 7.74 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.793 G
The Labyrinth GTN shines in driveability but falls behind in comfort and everything to do with the speed tests. The design is stunning and that’s what saves it from being further down.
7. Bergmann Intrepid
@ldub0775 & @AMuteCrypt
- Driveability: 39.3
- Sportiness: 24.8
- Comfort: 23.1
- Top Speed: 172.7 mph
- 0-60 mph: 5.99 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.772 G
With high comfort and sportiness, the Intrepid is well-rounded, though it lacks in acceleration, cornering force and driveability. It does have the highest reliability (77.2) of the group though.
6. Hyperion Aero Edition
@Elouda
- Driveability: 50.1
- Sportiness: 40.3
- Comfort: 13.7
- Top Speed: 173.4 mph
- 0-60 mph: 4.13 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.815 G
The Aero Edition excels in sportiness and acceleration, offering a strong all-around performance with high driveability. However, really I should’ve binned this for realism cheese (5spd, dwb rear, rear engine. The main offense though was dohc), but it’s a QFC im not sure I could do that, so heavily docked points it is.
5. TBC Arbiter
@Ananas
- Driveability: 52.6
- Sportiness: 32.6
- Comfort: 23.3
- Top Speed: 161.1 mph
- 0-60 mph: 5.43 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.875 G
High driveability and cornering force make the Arbiter competitive, despite its lower top speed. Could’ve been a winner had it not been for the looks not being up to par.
4. Saberin Rapiere Tipo N-S
@shibusu & @moroza
- Driveability: 38.1
- Sportiness: 40.1
- Comfort: 14.2
- Top Speed: 161.4 mph
- 0-60 mph: 4.09 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.892 G
This car stands out in sportiness, top speed, and acceleration, though its lower driveability and top speed is noticeable. A very interesting take on the engineering, only let down by the driveability, otherwise a very menacing car.
3. Lafayette Sebring 427
@the-chowi
- Driveability: 42.2
- Sportiness: 27.5
- Comfort: 10.9
- Top Speed: 182.1 mph
- 0-60 mph: 5.84 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.833 G
The Sebring 427 offers a good balance of sportiness and driveability, with solid top speed and cornering performance. It’s also gorgeous, I just wish the front face was a little more interesting. Also the only car to not use the full price, at $19,500.
2. Westland Stratosphere 400
@Kyorg
- Driveability: 48.3
- Sportiness: 30.3
- Comfort: 14.1
- Top Speed: 164.6 mph
- 0-60 mph: 5.45 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.871 G
With high driveability and sportiness, the Stratosphere 400 performs well in most categories, though its top speed is lower than average. A cool car to look at, just outdone by first place because of it’s low reliability and high svc.
1. Paige Cypress Darlington
@donutsnail
- Driveability: 48.6
- Sportiness: 19.8
- Comfort: 18.9
- Top Speed: 164 mph
- 0-60 mph: 5.84 seconds
- 200m Gs: 0.806 G
This car balances driveability and comfort, with decent sportiness and handling, making it a well-rounded choice. Styling is also good, but the tipping point is the second highest reliability and cheap svc.

Couple notes about the competition, the rules were obviously tricky at first but I think they ended up a nice middle ground. There was those who did their research and those who didn’t. I am aware that it’s not possible to get solid axle with certain engineering choices but that’s what it is, a choice.
ANYWAY, I had fun hosting this one actually and I’d like to think with the amount of effort some people put into this qfc they enjoyed it as well.
