So we, at Force Tuning international, are preparing a car to take on the Japanese at this extreme car racing.
We removed a car from “The Barn” and have started to experiment with some ideas.
The project is codenamed Hellcat. We present to you the Mk1 model. At some point we’ll be throwing a monster V8 into it and looking at a top speed well in excess of 200mph. This version is fitted with a 2.5L i6 turbo.
Someone mentioned recycling CSR39…so I thought “Why the Hell(cat) not!”
What would be a Good/Expected Laptime? Currently getting 2:25 from a Aluminum DOHC 4 Valve 2L I6 Turbo Coupe that makes 178HP @6200RPM & Weighs 2263.6 Lbs (Underweight (1150kg =2535.316 Lbs according to Google), So I’d need to Make it Fatter)
Forged parts are okay, right? Or is it cast-only internals?
My Understanding is Forged is Ok, Just nothing that Requires a CNC Shop, so no Billet Steel Crank (Also No I Beam Titanium Con Rods, Granted they are not available till 1997 anyway).
i beam or titanium conrod? be clear. they’re 2 different things
but i presume i-beam is allowed though
just the titanium conrod. in the 90s they’re supercar class material
I Beam Steel is OK I Think as it’s Forged, I Beam Titanium would be a no go as it’s CNC (and it don’t become available until 1997, limit for challenge is 1985-1995 so it’d be too new, just mentioned it as CNC is a No Go, only 2 internals that Require CNC that I’m aware of is the Billet Steel Crank & The (I Beam) Titanium Conrods so it’s really just the Billet Crank that’s a No Go for the Challenge.)
Any preference towards seating?
Should I just make Prepretaco? (you know had Taco 10 csr ago, the I aged it for last round into Pretaco…and now it’s the same formula)
I’m thinking I’m gonna go with the Dynamite Nitro. Guaranteed not to win, but this is gonna be fun.
(And yes, this indicates I’m going Wildcard because Dynamite is almost always a wildcard.)
Are ad’s required ?
New entry on the horizon from a new player.

A Compact Sports Coupe to take on Japan!
We took your preferences and threw them out the window! (In the form of a Twin Turbo 2.5L V8 40v!)
We stripped the interior down to the basics, installed a tight ratio transmission and some big fat tires.
No Frills, Just Thrills.
Still in the refinement phase (The Chassis, not the engine, that thing’s already a gem), preliminary testing shows a track times around 2:17, with a top speed over 240 kph, all for a competitive Hyundai-esque price!
Keep your eyes and ears pointed to Canada, more to come!
I think I’ve tweaked her the way I want her.
In what way do we submit? Attach the export car file + an ad?
I’ve added that Ads are required to the rules too… and that Forged stuff (cranks, conrods, pistons) are ok.
And i am really thinking about lowering the Engineering time to 110 again, because it’s pretty easy to get a good car with that in 95 trim.
Are you sure it makes sense to rate fuel economy from the economy tab? It only deals with street legal speeds, so it could be significantly inaccurate at higher speeds. I would base economy on the engine efficiency in the ‘optimal power’ RPM range of 2nd or a higher gear.
FWIW, I wouldn’t be opposed to 110 engineering time. Seems like it would encourage more interesting engineering solutions.
Nah, i keep it @ 130, and will take your suggestion into account, but the tab gives me a hint as you are mostly going to be accelerating, and i will of course check the engine section as well regarding fuel consumption. I’m not new to the game.
I’ve added an expected laptime to the rules too, as a car i made up w 110 engineering time and a budget well below 20k readily made below 2:15 @ ATT
Under 2:15 ? I was happy when i reached 2:20
It’s doable. I managed to squeak under 2:16 and I’ve got a somewhat heavy engine up front. I just have no idea how to fiddle with the suspension stuff so I’m having trouble eeking anything else out of the chassis, and the motor is as good as it’s gonna get without tickling quality sliders.
I managed to get 2:15.
My Reaction " OH DAMN THAT FAST"
Welp
