You just remembered me of the lightweight sports car to a italian guy CSR round. Maybe the Riza that I used that time could be useful…
correction, a Polski Fiat 126p

I have the perfect car for this (on my company thread as a 2014 model), but…No hot pink? I’m out! 
EDIT: In all seriousness, though. It’s telling me it cannot divide by text and requires a number. How is 44.4 not a number?
EDIT2: OK, it wants a comma and not a decimal point. grumbles something about crazy ass Europeans and their screwball methods
EDIT3: Wow, so I have a 1 trillion euro car here? Seriously, wtf? hahahahaha Niche Factor > 4 FTL Clearly I screwed something up?

haha, I said fuck that and imported it into excel format. Works like a charm

Double check your prestige and trim material costs, they seem awfully high.
Also already that car’s got too much in it, and it’s also too new, it’d probably cost like 40-50 grand in the calculator!
Yes, the comma is misplaced on the spreadsheet for Prestige, but…trim material cost…which number is that? hahaha cuz…10k isn’t really THAT high. This is a bonafide American muscle car built for the track…on my company page it is the Z57 model from 2014, though this one is a bit higher, since MOHV wasn’t’ available back then (in Automation). Adjusting Prestige to correct decimal locaion…ermmm…COMMA location grrrrr sets it at 3 years old and still north of 70k. SMH
Yeah we’re kind of talking second hand or really budget here. Try building something from 2005 or earlier, and you’ll have more luck.
I think you mistyped the prestige number (473.0),probably the reason why your car cost about 1 trillion euros
1:46.49 on Zolder, though!

Sorry if I missed it, but how is the cost for the ‘two trim method’ calculated?
So, 2004 is STILL too new to meet the price tag. The body is from 1985 though…wonder what I can get out of a 1995 motor. haha
I had to rework MASSIVELY to get the Hellcat down to 15k. And that’s from 96! 
My car was built in 2000 and sneaks in under the 15k budget… Just.
And no, I was never going to reuse my CSR36 entry for this round… I feared it would be too expensive!
Ugh…yeah. I’m on a 1995 (because MOHV) and only 1 tick on top-end and 1 tick on bottom-end. Still only at $19k…How #$@&%*! old do I gotta go? haha smh again
Pretty much like real life: A decent turbo kit 6000, good coilovers 1000-2000 depending on the car, 500-1000 for camshafts, etc, etc
These ticks could be costly due to the engineering time, and slightly over budget is allowed if needed 
I don’t want people sacrificing 20 virgins and 3 cows to get their, for example 16.5k car under 15k.

Well, define “slightly over budget” then. haha
I’m at $17.6k, and it gets slower every time i touch it. I started out at 1:46.49 at $70k.
derp
At $17.6k it was all the way down to 1:51.34. Still pretty far over budget, and slower than the fastest “known” car.
EDIT: That was basically going from 2014 back to 2000. And I doubt it’s those two ticks pushing me 2.6k over where i need to be.
Ugh…2k ish? I guess that would be my very maximum.
For that I’ll have to quote myself from the round post:

Considering the fastest known car was doing about a 1:50, I suspect that was also with the priority focused entirely on speed and power. Most entries within budget are probably going to be more like 1:56-2:01. I’m debating just how pocket rocket to go myself.

I still have a few more days to work it out. We’ll see what I can come up with.

My Hellcat was done for the original CSR39. Using the spreadsheet it came out as new @ $117k!!! Todays price was $60k!!! 
Downgraded the engine to something both manageable and reliable (originally 6.2% rel!)
The it was trim, trim, trim until I got the price down. I actually think it’s still $75 over the price.
It’s not quite the beast, it was originally, but as the adblurb states…it’s still very fast…and the original requirements on stated that @Dragawn “preferred” AWD over 400hp and not that he wanted it…Oops!
