The Car Shopping Round (Round 64): Tears in Heaven

I’m just hoping I’ve got enough in those stats to pull an aerial overtake on this competition. Though I’m doubtful on that.

yeah. now that i see the trump card again. yours are cheap and economical… which may just be enough

we’ll have to see just how much weight does the cost have

I could’ve built cheaper, but… I didn’t want the weight of steel panels. Aluminum’s a little heavier compared to Fiberglass, but it was a little less expensive. As for fuel efficiency, I’m not sure exactly where I fall on that. I tried to keep it efficient.

well i also did alu panels… because cost
our weight is similiar anyway.

the economy is because mine is using a double webber carb with pretty aggresive cam profile

Double single barrels. Don’t remember what I did with cam profile.

well for a 5 minute car its a good score

Lol. My single weber and high cornering and braking ability may surprise you all yet. Ahem highest corning g’s of the field and shortest braking distance.

In the spirit of Rio. OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE…OI OI OI

Well gotta hand it to my teammate @koolkei our design is looking quite competitive so far! Although @phale’s design is very close too.

and i also gotta hand it to you…

enryGT5 making a comeback with 163 total
myself and rk38 got beaten with a 162 total
madrias also making a comeback with a 161 total

talk about close competition…whew

phale… smell ya later :stuck_out_tongue:

but fuel economy still killed our car… even with 15:1 ratio. well, that’s what double weeber and nuts cam profile does to you. highest power FTW

bad stuff
rear engined car, unsporty, unsafe, a tiny bit comfortable, underpowered

at least it is:
driveability is good
good running costs
good fuel economy
good sales price
good reliability

what am i VW BEETLE ? * triggered * JK :smiley:

That’s about how I feel about my car. A champion of mediocrity.
